The ancient schooner stands tall in the dark water, although there is a definite list to the mast and sails that belie its age. After all these years hidden in or around the lake, the ship is in remarkably good condition, although the lower decks drip with water and something rather green and slimy. If not for the age and apparent solitude of the ship, it would appear the crew had just departed, even going so far to leave the gangplank lowered to provide access to the main deck.
The main deck is cluttered in a way no captain would approve. Bits of knotted rope, lank strands of the shredded sail, and abandoned cannon balls that seem to have taken root to the deck would have tripped up a sailor in bygone days. They are the only artifacts left of those hearty men now. A rope ladder twists uselessly in the rigging - wonder if the crow's nest can still be reached?
Just a few steps above the main deck, the steering wheel is knotted into place with a moldy length of rope. It's impossible to know where these sailors were headed, but they've been sailing in one direction for a very long time indeed. Propped against the railing behind the wheel is a marlinespike, a nasty pointed thing that was someone's weapon or tool... or both.
Beneath the quarterdeck, a gaping doorway leads to the captain's quarters. Decrepit maps, a rusted quadrant, and a compass sit on the captain's desk, but the most interesting artifact is probably the old tricorne hat propped against the chair. Wherever the man went, his head is bare. The bed and wardrobe in the corner could give you more clues about the man who lived here, but the best clue is the log book folded closed on the chair - Captain's Log for the Dead Wizard's Trove.
Below the main deck, you will find the hold and sailor's quarters. Kegs of powder are scattered with a few ancient gold coins, Galleons by the look of them, but there is no further indication as to what the ship once carried. Was the ship a merchant ship? Privateers? Or pirates?
Legend was confused. Neptune said confusing things in general but he was really confused now. "What do you mean by that?" By BOTH things. He wasn't the type to have a butler? And it made sense?
"Fine." Legend sighed. His jaw tensing up a bit.
How could he move a boat?
He took out his wand, pointing it at the broken crack in the boat before yelling saying "Depulso!" VANISH! VANISH. But nothing. The white light shot out of his wand and disappeared into the vast unknown of the boat. Nothing. He frowned. "Why'd you make me do that for?" Legend said bitterly crossing his arms. She had just made him embarrass himself.
Neptune took a few steps back and bumped into the disgusting hull.
O___O
"S....Sorry?" As in, she wasn't following? What? What had SHE done?!? He was being a crup butt!
She crossed her arms and sent him a hard look. "I was FLIRTING if you MUST know. But you ruined it. I take it back. It was stupid of me and you're...." HMPH. MEAN.
Neptune Bott would just be leaving now. Or, would have if she wasn't totally afraid of crossing the plank-like thing by herself.

Legend's green eyes grew widely. If he had thought he was confused before he was EXTREMELY confused now. "Flirting? What?-honestly?" He really couldn't believe it.
So when she giggled and hung on to him like there was no tomorrow, that meant she was flirting with him? "How am I suppose to know that?" Legend asked throwing him arms up into the air. "Why would you flirt with me anyways? Aren't you like dating Jake?" Or she was....or was he just flirting with her last year when he clung onto her? This. This was all confusing. "I'm sorry for ruining it." He said quitely. He hadn't know. It wasn't his fault. He knew he couldn't vanish the boat.

Neptune gave a haughty sniff and moved AWAY from him. She used the edge of her robe to grip the railing, so her hand wouldn't have to touch it directly. She didn't want to catch some fish disease.
"Temporary insanity," Neptune answered. "And...."Jake. Ugh. Neptune slowed, shrugged, and mumbled, "Ibrokeupwithhim." YEAH? SO? She was a troll. "You're not forgiven! You are hopeless. And now YOU embarrassed ME."

...so yeah.
As she began to move away, Legend blinked awkwardly. Was he suppose to do something? Stop her maybe? She had said she had been insane for trying to flirt with him.
Legend strained to hear the words about Jake. Broke up? Really. Huh...maybe he had been too flirty? "I'm sorry." He repeated. What else could he say? Neptune was pretty, yes. But she also made his head hurt. He didn't understand her. He didn't understand WHAT she wanted him to do. He brought his hand to the back of his neck, cupping it uncomfortably. "I don't know how to flirt back?" Did he want to flirt back? He didn't even know!
"Do...you need help down?" He was hopeless. Maybe that was it. Yeah. Legend frowned, looking almost like a wounded puppy. He didn't understand ANYTHING to do with females.

He could hear a sudden hollering at the deck above them, slightly muffled from where he stood, but the voice was unmistakable "Hey yeah! Lexi down here!!!!" he hollered his booming voice echoing in the cramped quarters.
Then creaky floorboards got louder behind him, he tilted his head towards where the voice was coming from "So that we dont hafta keep casting Lumos lil feller-- oh I'm sorry Prefect Treyen." he chuckled. Seems like only yesterday that he was ruffling the lil feller's hair. " If we got a light hanging on the wall its one less thing to think about, and frees our wands up for something else right?" like opening barrels of Rum!
Suddenly he clapped the young Puff's shoulders "That's it! Gunpowder!" he exclaimed finally putting a name to the familiar odor thats been bugging him since he fell climbed down the lower deck "Thats what I been smelling all alo--Oh!" he paused as realization of the Prefect's words finally sunk in. And just like that he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and snorted "Torches? Pffft, who needs them? We are Wizards! We got wands!"
He looked back at the other younguns that are now on the lower deck, the bubbly one now nervously singing Sierra's name and Ellie talking about sinking ships. "Relax kids, this ship wont sink-- cuz if it did we gonna drag the Headmaster down with us."
Such a reassuring thought.
Ohkay. Apparently there were WORSE things to think about than the ship sinking. Like the ship EXPLODING. Fantastic.
"I don't think the ship cares who it drowns." And now Ellie was done talking about that. Because sinking, she realized now, she could handle. Treyen was right, after all. They could SWIM. If it exploded...no swimming.
Scary thoughts.
SPOILER!!: Treyen

There was something about her that reminded him of Neptune, perhaps they both had that royalty air to them or something remotely similar. They weren't too much alike, because Neptune was all about grace, and wasn't loud. This girl seemed to lack a bit of grace, and WAS loud, or had been, up there.
Either way, he turned to look at her as she spoke, and shook his head, "Just cover your nose with some fabric, robes, or anything," he knew the theory to the charm, the practical part he hadn't succeeded in. Except...if it managed to keep the girl quiet, he might as well teach her how. If she didn't succeed, it wasn't his fault.
There we go. That was the spirit! He smiled back when she agreed with him, and he was forever glad that she didn't freak out thanks to the sinking topic.
"Precisely, it won't fail us." He had a feeling that the ship was as loyal as a Hufflepuff, no? Not really, but the ship couldn't fail them, yes? Otherwise everything he'd said wouldn't make any difference.
He couldn't help but laugh at Sierra's questioning of his feelings towards the options. "Actually, no," he wasn't scared now, not when the Slytherin girl had that smirk on her face, it was hard not to smile at it, much less to feel frightened of anything. Given the circumstance, of course, because if they've been working on a potion, then he'd be terrified of her.
Ha. That was funny. "And do you mind? Because I don't see you moving either," he remarked, gesturing to her.
Whatever, he wasn't commenting on the ship anymore. People should stop mentioning it. Enough.
It was the change in her expression that made his former smirk disappear, and gave way to a small smile, HIS whole expression changed, he had no idea he was doing what Ellie just said, and it just didn't seem fair for him to be reminding her of, what he now knew to be, one of her fears.
Treyen took her hand, as if to show her that he won't be mentioning it again. The same smile remained in his face, and the eyes seemed to think the only thing worth looking was her.
Until...
...Salander.
He frowned a little to Salander. Seriously, dude, torches were no good. Sure, most of the wood was wet, but still, it wasn't sane to light anything with fire. Just in case.
Ooooooh. NOW Salander understood. Treyen actually grinned, after all, he'd been right all along. Awesome! He was closer and closer to being a Pirate, so it seemed. "So, now you see why torches would be ill-advised?" he said, giving the Slytherin one nod.
He sooo would've smacked his head with his hand when Salander decided to take part of the sinking topic, but one hand held his wand, and the other held Ellie's hand, so, he merely shook his head.
She smiled at his touch and squeezed his hand. But very seriously said, "If we do see a spider, you're killing it." Ellie wasn't going anywhere near enough to kill it not even with her wand.
SPOILER!!: Coco

He followed her voice down the hatch, and frowned. "Um I don't have it," he called to Treyen. He was exploring a pirate ship. Therefore, it called for a sword. Cue sword pull from his belt. Hi-ya! He tightened his grip around it, in his gloves. He looked kind of like Zorro.
"So what we looking for?" he asked, to noone in particular. There were enough of them to get an answer. "I don't think we should do any pillaging. It is frowned upon in civilised society."
Speaking of wands... "You really need to start carrying it around with you." Didn't he have a holster? Those made wands so much easier to carry. Less dangerous, too, as Jacob proved last term. That was a major life lesson there.
SPOILER!!: La-la-la-la-LOLA

Errrrr.
"Lumos? Oh right!"
She preferred the Bubble-Head charm but oh well. "Lumos," she whispered.
The girl immediately had fun with her newly lit wand, poking it on Sierra's back and watching as the girl's back mystically glowed--a magical spine indeed. Then, she proceeded to throw it up to her face and make RAWR expressions right beside her neck to spook her whenever Sierra looked back. Expressions--they were good exercise for an actress, you know. That was her excuse.
LOLA WAS SHHHH'D and her wand immediately jerked toward the girl's face to get a better look at her. "Hi," was her simple response. Who was this girl? WHY WAS SHE SHHHH'ing her? Why did she not know the Bubble-Head Charm? Why, girly, WHY?!
But oh, the girl talked to her! MY MY MY!
This was an obvious attempt of friendship (Lola thought everything was an attempt of friendship) and so, while holding one hand to Sierra's shoulder, she reaaaaached for the girls' arms with her wand arm.
"Let's be friends."
Saying that in a dark room beneath the ship deck was not strange at all.
"GUNPOWDER?"
She sniffed, another deep inhale, suddenly thinking about guns.
"What if it explodes? Or burns us all?!"
WHO WAS THIS BOY WHO WAAAASSSS THIS BOOOY?
Lola was meeting a lot of people from Sierra in this little ship journey they were doing. And for that, she would forever be grateful to the second year girl. She had waved her wand around his face, the bright light still emanating out and she pointed it out to him until she got a goooooood look.
Of course, he was talking to her.
And of course, like the girl before, she immediately thought this was a sly way to befriend her.
She couldn't follow his directions because as of the moment, she was trying her very best to get a good grip on both girls walking with here (if she had a third arm, she definitely would hold his hand too) and so, her nose was helpless, facing the odor. But on a happier note, she gladly stated, "You can be my friend too, daaaaaahhhling, don't worry!"
She cocked her head, trying to look everywhere where she could see something unusual or special about the cool, little ship.
Hi?
"Hi." Hardly the time for 'hellos' in Ellie's opinion. But at least there wasn't anymore creepiness.
As long as she kept it that way and stayed relatively quiet, "Sure. Friends." Whatever.
Ellie was totally going to ignore that arm of hers, though. If it was meant for shaking, her hands were already occupied with Treyen's own hand and her wand.
She didn't shake hands anyway.

That... gave Neptune a pause. She slowly looked back at Mr. Chosen over her shoulder. Once upon she didn't know how to flirt and kiss and things, either. And it HAD been scary and she'd messed it all up more than once. In fact, Neptune was continuously messing things up.
SIGH.
"No, I don't now. We're going to stay here and you're going to learn to flirt." Neptune felt duty-bound. He had the PERFECT venue. A dirty and scary old ship. A pretty blond. With the minimal guidance he should be able to pull it off.
"You could start with... compliments." As in, give her one. Or two.

Legend was ready to escort her off the ship (that's what Neptune would call it) but then the girl seemed to make a complete 360 and decided to stay. How could she possibly be MAD at him one second then alright the next?
"Learn?" He could feel his face getting hot. Learn how to flirt. This was going to be horrible. "Alright..." He said weakly. There was no arguing with Neptune. Or she would stomp away like a lunatic princess.
"Well- I think you are pretty." That was obvious. He turned his head slightly to the side, trying to think of something else. "And you are basically the smartest Ravenclaw I know." He didn't know MUCH Ravenclaws so that just HAD to be true.

"Awww....blushing! That's a good start," Neptune gushed approvingly. Carefully, she used her robe-rail-holder to move back a little closer.
"And thank you, but.... you can do better than that right? Lots of girls are pretty. You have to say something that makes me feel different from other girls. That you ONLY think about me. Maybe you could say WHAT is pretty? Specifically."
Neptune waved her hand around to wipe away his last comment. "No. No it has to be believable." NO one thought Neptune was the smartest Ravenclaw.

BLUSHING? How was that GOOD? No real guy wanted to blush! That was so stupid.
This. Was. So. COMPLICATED. Why couldn't "you are pretty" be enough? He sighed, and once again crossed his arms. He had to think about what made her pretty? Pretty was pretty! It wasn't ugly! That was, what made her pretty. Jeesh. "Like...I don't know how to explain it. Obviously you look good. But you like..hold yourself in a way that just makes your features and everything stand out?" A stuck up way. Yes. But still in a way where she made herself noticed.
"I thought it was believable..." He said slowly.

Nodding, Kurumi let go of the wheel and looked around for the door to the captain’s cabin. Where was it usually located in those pirate movies she used to watch? It certainly wasn’t up here since the only thing around was a mast and the wheel. “I think we need to go down a level to find it,” she said in a rather pensive tone. “Who do you think the captain of this ship was? Do you suppose he was a pirate? Or maybe he was an explorer trying to map all the wizarding waters?” Or was there already a map of such thing? Kurumi wasn’t sure.
Walking down a small flight of stairs and noticing a large door, Kurumi pointed to it and looked over her shoulder at Eino. “Do you suppose that’s it?” she asked. “I once saw a movie where some ponies were trying to tickle a very large spider with some sort of plant. It has a long and narrow stem and the tip of it is brown and fluffy,” Kurumi explained starching the back of her head nervously. “Perhaps there is something in here that we can use to try and tickle the giant squid to let the boat go? Then we can finish the mission that the captain and his crew couldn’t…”
Unless…they were still on the boat as ghosts! Kurumi’s face when white as a sheet as she reached out for the door’s handle. “Y-Y-You don’t suppose this boat is…is…is…cursed do you?”
Go down? What if they got locked down there and couldn't get out, or worst lost track of time and missed their classes!? "Of course he was a pirate!" Eino said decisively but followed Kurumi down the stairs rather cowardly. "He was probably looking for a treasure." All pirates did, right? That was their job. Maybe there was a treasure somewhere in the lake, or better yet, in Hogwarts. There were many secrets about the castle, so why not a long lost treasure. Or perhaps the treasure was something they already knew like Ravenclaw's diadem or Gryffindor's sword.
He continued to follow Kurumi until they finally reached a room she supposed to be the captain's cabin. Eino shrugged in response. He had never seen one other than in a few illustrated books and read about one in one particular book, but he wasn't sure of those descriptions were accurate, so he couldn't tell. Then she started talking about ponies and spiders and tickling sticks. Eino raised one eyebrow and tried to understand what she had just said but he couldn't. He had never seen such thing, and hoped never to! "Perhaps..." He said doubly, and hoping there wouldn't be one, and if there was that they wouldn't find it. "And what mission is that? Maybe we can find some clues as to what they were doing in the cabin? Maybe they kept a journal or a map." Einos suggested as he tried to push the door open, but it was locked. He took out his wand and performed the unlocking charm but there was so unlocking sound and when he tried to open it he couldn't. "Hmmm..." That could only mean one thing. "The ship is magical... Or at least are is some sort of magic on it." That might have been very obvious, but it probably answered Kurumi's next question. "Probably."
BLUSHING? How was that GOOD? No real guy wanted to blush! That was so stupid.
This. Was. So. COMPLICATED. Why couldn't "you are pretty" be enough? He sighed, and once again crossed his arms. He had to think about what made her pretty? Pretty was pretty! It wasn't ugly! That was, what made her pretty. Jeesh. "Like...I don't know how to explain it. Obviously you look good. But you like..hold yourself in a way that just makes your features and everything stand out?" A stuck up way. Yes. But still in a way where she made herself noticed.
"I thought it was believable..." He said slowly.
"That's good," Neptune approved, flashing him a genuine smile. It was certainly a unique compliment, one that Neptune didn't exactly know how to take. But it sounded sincere and thought out and it was definitely a good start.
"It's not. You could say something about... well, like, I was going to tell you that summer had been good to you. That you had grown taller and more handsome."
Neptune approached him carefully and DELICATELY helped him unfold his arms. "Then you find some silly reason to ... touch my hair or nip my nose or something." See?
"Down here Lexi!" he hollered again then glanced quickly at Simon and added "Yeah over by the bow!" Wait does she know what a bow is? Bloody hell just in case she thinks its a ribbon "I mean over by the front of the ship."She can tell whats front and back right? "Theres a hatch on the deck, use the ladder to get down!" or she can just jump, the way Simon did, the proven Gryffindor way yeah?
Turning his attention back to Treyen and Simon the Slytherin lad chuckled "Well, I have no intentions of blowing us up or sinking this ship until I find some... souvenirs." specially something that doesnt leave him black and blue in the morning, he has enough of those already. He inched closer until he could feel like he kicked something awkward and heavy. He crouched down and held the wand light closer. "Hey look kegs!" he pointed excitedly and leaned closer-- then suddenly pulled back. He has found the source of that odor at least some of them. "Okay these vintage is definitely not for celebrating." he stood up suddenly and turned to the others "... more like something the crew would break out if they're under attack."
He waved his wand aloft, face now puzzled. He has yet to see anything remotely resembling something valuable-- at least to him. "Is this a warship or something?"
Lexi would be able to find them, no? It's not like the ship was too big anyway, yet, he was rather interested in finding out if she could get lost or not in the search for Salander.
Wait, Slytherin, wait. "Are you planning on doing so after?" it wasn't really a question, it was only a remark, hence the smirk on his face. But, really, Salander, he won't say if those are his plans, anyway. And the kegs? Didn't he, like, saw those on the way down here? By the look on his face, the Slytherin had been hoping to find something more enjoyable amongst those little barrels.
Under attack? Right. Or not. "They could've been transporting the gunpowder, you know? Sort of like merchant marines and such," so, no, Treyen didn't think this ship went off to war, never mind the fact that there were cannon balls up there.
"There are some coins, I think," he said, pointing out his wand toward a bunch of barrels, and he would've gotten closer to them, if Conan had remained quiet. Because, dude! COINS! For Aslan, you know? The Niffler.

Say what? Treyen turned his wand to Conan. "What do you mean you don't have it? Did you lose it?" or break it? Because Treyen broke his sister's wand once. One of the most fun and terrifying days of his life.
At least he wanted to be on the ship, right? Awesome!
"Actually, anything that would help...," he started to say, looking around, "...getting more insight on the boat," he nodded and then shook his head, "I mean, ship." Good one.

Whaaaat?! He SERIOUSLY wanted to say 'Take your hand away from my face, Snake!', but after frowning upon the origins of that thought, he decided to frown for real thanks to all the light that was blinding him. Thank you, Slytherin girl, for blinding us momentarily.
And...friends?
Wait, who was she again? "Right. If I want to, you mean." No, he was NOT being rude, she'd been rude by pointing her wand at THEM, yes, he would've been okay with the wand-pointing if the girl had never pointed it to Ellie. Tsk. He didn't approve of that.
"What's your name, by the way?" he never mentioned his, but that seemed rather unnecessary for Salander had said it already.

You know what? Forget about Sierra's singing friend, and about the ship sinking, or exploding, or being swallowed whole by the Giant Squid, or a Kraken, or whatever. Actually, his interest towards the ship and the primary reason for him stepping inside were zeroed down by Ellie's smile.
Now, his smile widened, and he fought the urge to roll his eyes at her command. Seriously, he thought they'd stopped discussing the spider topic a while ago, and he wasn't mentioning anything else in regards to it.
In fact, his reply, didn't even need a context to be used on, "Anything for you."

THERE she smiled. He had to have done something right. "You..actually..noticed?" He asked, a little taken back by that. "Thanks." He smiled, brushing his hair out of his eyes.
As she unfolded his arms, Legend nodded, yet it was obvious that his blush had grown. It..he really couldn't do that...comfortably. It would be awkward and weird. "Why do I need a silly reason? Why can't I just do what I want. Do I have to be like, oh look there's a bug in your hair-" He reached out and pulled gently on a strain of her hair before pulling back his hand. "That sounds kind of stupid."

Neptune rolled her eyes at him. "Yes, Legend. I noticed. Hence the flirting..." there was understood DUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHH at the end of that. Gryffindors really were a lot of work. They were SO GOOD at some things, but never quite grasped the small things. Details.
"Maybe not silly... but like...subtle, I guess. Or, you could offer to hold my hand because you know I'm afraid of the scary stuff in this ship." See? It was easy. Just make excuses to touch. "Subtle."
...she didn't really have a BUG in her HAIR, right? RIGHT? Neptune stayed RIGHT THERE in front of him, looking up expectantly.

Eino said decisively but followed Kurumi down the stairs rather cowardly. "He was probably looking for a treasure." All pirates did, right? That was their job. Maybe there was a treasure somewhere in the lake, or better yet, in Hogwarts. There were many secrets about the castle, so why not a long lost treasure. Or perhaps the treasure was something they already knew like Ravenclaw's diadem or Gryffindor's sword.
He continued to follow Kurumi until they finally reached a room she supposed to be the captain's cabin. Eino shrugged in response. He had never seen one other than in a few illustrated books and read about one in one particular book, but he wasn't sure of those descriptions were accurate, so he couldn't tell. Then she started talking about ponies and spiders and tickling sticks. Eino raised one eyebrow and tried to understand what she had just said but he couldn't. He had never seen such thing, and hoped never to! "Perhaps..." He said doubly, and hoping there wouldn't be one, and if there was that they wouldn't find it. "And what mission is that? Maybe we can find some clues as to what they were doing in the cabin? Maybe they kept a journal or a map." Einos suggested as he tried to push the door open, but it was locked. He took out his wand and performed the unlocking charm but there was so unlocking sound and when he tried to open it he couldn't. "Hmmm..." That could only mean one thing. "The ship is magical... Or at least are is some sort of magic on it." That might have been very obvious, but it probably answered Kurumi's next question. "Probably."
A treasure at Hogwarts….hmmmm….Well, that certainly would explain why the Ministry was so involved in the school now wouldn’t it? “Do you suppose the treasure is something really valuable? Perhaps it is a rare piece of wizarding history dating back to long before the Founders founded Hogwarts?” This sounded like something they were going to have to talk about with their History of Magic professor.
She was getting more and more excited the more Eino theorized about what could be inside the cabin. “A map?! That sounds rather exciting,” she chirped clapping her hands together. Kurumi did enjoy scavenger hunts.
However, the spark in her eyes faded when she saw that the door to the cabin wouldn’t budge. Just like how the wheel hadn’t earlier. Well, now that was disappointing. There was no way that the giant squid could have one of his long tentacles through the window and using one of his suction cups to keep the door shut now, was there?
Then her eyes widened as Eino confirmed that perhaps the boat was cursed. “S-S-S-So…per-per-perhaps there are g-g-g-gh-g-g…” Kurumi couldn’t bear to finish her thought. Next to cockroaches, ghosts frightened her more than anything else. Sure, she was fine around the Gryffindor house ghost, Sir Nicholas, but he was a friendly ghost. Almost like Casper…just with his head nearly cut off. These pirate ghosts, well, she had seen movies with their likes in them and they were NOT the friendly type.

"Oh..yeah right." Flirting. Right he got it. It still had too many rules for him. Too many things to remember. Legend would never make flirting natural.
Without hesitation he reached out and softly took Neptune's hand in his. Holding hands was something he understood- couples did it. They weren't a couple...but he understood it. "But...if you want me to hold your hand why can't you just say that?"
As she looked at him he blinked. What was he suppose to do? Was she expecting him to do something else? He needed more rules for that.

Neptune smiled at the hand holding. Awwww Legend was being such a good pupil! He hadn't been nearly this agreeable for gentleman lessons. Maybe he was playing and was actually some sort of genius flirt...
Or maybe not.
Giggle.
"Maybe I would.... but it's more fun if you just take it. Besides," Neptune grinned, "this is all hypothetical, right?" Riiiiiiight? GRIN.
She took her hand back from him. It didn't count if she had to tell him. "So I guess that's it. Compliments because you want to make a girl feel good, and pretty, and like you notice her. And excuses to touch her or hold her hand. It's pretty easy, right? I've done it to you loads of time, you know."

Hypothetical? He frowned. Unsure what to think now. He needed to go back to his dorm, lay down and rest his spinning head. "I-never knew it was." His brows came up together but then fell down quickly. As she took her hand away from his Legend nodded.
"Sure...fine." She did it to him loads of times? What did that mean? He wasn't entirely sure. And why was everything before hypothetical? "I guess I'm leaving now." He stuffed his hands into his pocket, his face unreadable. "You wanna..go down?" He didn't want to speak to Neptune anymore. She hurt his head.

......?
But it had been going so well....?
"It wasn't real from you anyway," Neptune corrected. She's already admitted her motives and mischief and temporary insanity. "You did good though. You should use on girls that you find pretty. It's just... if I'm coaching you, it's ... "

Sigh.
"Walk me back at least?"
So she was only teaching him. She had made a mistake like she had said before. He really didn't know how he felt about that.
Alright, that was a lie. He knew how he felt.
"I won't. I hate girls." He said, his voice on the edge of bitterness. He took her hand and quickly walked back across the walking bridge thing. As soon as he was off of it, he dropped her hand. "Bye Neptune." He turned and began to walk to the direction of the castle.

Neptune SCOFFED at him and made a spectacle of jerking her hand back after he'd already dropped it.
"That was your cue, you know? To flirt back without my telling you exactly what to say or do? FAILED. And you do NOT hate girls. That's just stupid!"
She was kind of yelling at him. "You just... FINE. BYE."
Lexi perked up when she heard Salander speak. Not that it did much good.. since she still couldn't see him. Sadface. Lexi called back, "I'm down the hatch already... coming toward you I hope!"
And... who wouldn't use a ladder? Barbarians? Seriously.
"When I find you... IF I find you I might smack you for having to come down here to find you," she said with a haughty tone.
Lexi swatted at his arm and frowned. He was seriously irritating her. Then as he slammed his leg into a barrel she actually snorted with laughter. "Serves you right. Talking to me like that. That's what you get," she said with a tone of delight.
"Perhaps I could relax if you weren't SHOUTING at me to RELAX, VORPATRIL," she screeched at him. Having had about enough she released his arm and began to walk ahead in a hurried manner.
"A little remorse would have been nice. Just a little," he said irritatedly as he heard Sal yelling again down the front of the boat. He cursed at himself for tearing his pants and walked carefully now so he didn't tear anything else.
He turned and frowned as Lexi yelled no yelling wasn't the right word. Made a god awful screeching sound that had words in it. "I'm not shouting. But you are now." Oh great and now she was walking away. Whatever. Shoving his free hand in his pocket he walked behind her holding his wand out and looking around. "Don't see what your hurry is. Not like they can get out that way," he muttered. So they wouldn't miss them.

Lexi was on the verge of turning to shout some more when her toe caught on the edge of something and she automatically fell face forward, dropping her wand so she could catch herself with her hands. It was instinctive.
Groaning a little bit she scrambled up. "EWWWWW! It's all gross... there's stuff on my hands... where did my wand go?" she babbled as she rushed forward and began to wipe her grimey hands on Ivan's jacket. His pants were already ripped...

Ivan was still muttering to himself when he saw Lexi fall and stopped in his tracks. "Lexi, are you alright?" he asked bending down to help her. He watched as she stood up and then started wiping something on his jacket. "HEEEEEEY." Damn it. "So you have something on your hands and think it's a good idea to wipe it on my jacket." Grrrrr. Making the light go out for a moment so he could get her wand he sighed, "Accio wand."
He cast the lumos charm again in time to feel her wand hit his head because he couldn't see to catch it and winced. "There's your wand. I think I'm out of here," he muttered irritably.

"It was a better idea than wiping it on my clothes...besides your ENSEMBLE is always ruined. Quit being such a wuss, Ivan," she said in a less heated tone. She would not lose her temper with him properly. He was baiting her.
"Yeah. Go ahead and run off you big cry baby. I swear! Merlin forbid you get DIRTY or something doesn't go your way! Throw a tantrum and run off, yeah? That solve all your problems?" she said as she snatched up her wand and cast Lumos again.
