Grammar and sentence structures and all that sort of thing had always confused him. "Well, if your intention is to make me feel completely uneasy every time I pass by a tree from now on, then you can know it's working perfectly. I will never be the same again," said Braeden with mock dramatic trauma in his tones. Though he'd be lying if he said he wasn't at least a little worried of getting too close to trees from now on... "We're going to have to walk around carrying swords and shields from now on," he added. This evil-tree deal was turning into an all-out war against nature.

And then Ivory was saying she expected his guide to 101 ways to something-something (he had already forgotten what title he'd given her) sometime in the next two years. "Oh, I dunno about having it ready that soon..." muttered the boy, who had actually taken her seriously despite the wink that was supposed to clue him in on this being a joke. "Just trying to get an interview with the Whomping Willow will be time-consuming enough, and to be honest I don't feel very confident I have enough words in my vocabulary to write a whole book," he confessed, his right hand rubbing the back of his neck absentmindedly as he looked shame-faced down at the ground.

"All good now, then?" he asked, looking up again to find the girl standing on her own two feet, no longer needing the help of her attacker. "If you don't mind, I'd like to take this conversation away from the trees. They might be spying on us," he added, throwing the surrounding trees wary glances before turning back to the girl before him. They couldn't just stand there all afternoon, after all. And he felt safer away from trees.

Laughing genuinely, Ivory brushed a strand of hair back out of her eyes. "Sorry, it wasn't my intention to traumatize." Trees. Killer trees.

Eyes dancing in mirth, she nodded her head. Swords and shields that sounded about right. "You don't know it but this was actually my plan all along, to recruit you into my band of Nature fearing vigilantes." Yes, it had all been a ploy. "Not for vengence mind you. Nooooo, for the children. The poor first years and second years wandering the grounds alone without protection against tripping roots and falling leaves. " Hand to her heart in faux pity, she even quivered her lower lip as only a girl can for maximum effect. "Think of the children."

The lip quiver though is what did her in. Laughing and giggling, Ivory straightened up not the least bit dizzy anymore and a bunch of leaves and one bump to show for it all. And of course a dedication in a book.
Giving him a quirky grin at his shame faced look, she reached over and in an uncharacteristic move (at least for her) she patted him on the arm. "Oh no rush. You have years. Years to scour dictionaries for synonyms for killer nature antics." Smiling she stepped away from the trees and back onto the path not a wobbly moment in sight.

"Sounds like a plan." Continuing the conversation and moving away from the trees. Inclining her head down the path, she looked at him with a questioningly crooked smile. To walk or not to walk.
