Amadeus looked at the creature apprehensively before his eyes traveled to meet Walnut's, the cat. "Nor the kitten. I don't think the creatures would take nicely to you stomping around." He shuddered to think what would happen if the crup or kitten became frightened or angry with Braeden, who appeared to be a creature from one of those scary muggle films. It was a wonder that none of the students seemed frightened because of his attire.
Oooooh. Right. A circle. But... but... but!! Braeden turned to Deus and looked at him with large, brown I'm-about-to-burst-into-tears-and-it's-your-fault eyes though Deus couldn't really see that under the boy's mutant deer costume. So he straightened up. "Alright, alright, we'll move slower," said Braeden, sounding like a scolded little kid. "But when the race starts, we're storming ahead of everyone!"
And then Deus mentioned the crup and the cat.
Well, the crup Braeden didn't mind all that much. It was actually kind of cute, except for that tail. But the cat.... aw man, the cat. Braeden shuddered. He'd never had any luck with cats. They always scratched him and bit him; they were foul creatures. "Y-You d-don't... you don't honestly th-think they would... attack me, do you?" he asked in a hoarse whisper. That cat looked like its claws could dig through the 87465 layers of fabric on his oversized costume. Just the thought of it had the poor Gryffindor boy near to tears.
