Merlin, he didn't want her to think he was a kidney thief!

The Gryffindor boy then grinned as Charlie confirmed he would be a punk-rocker. Huh. That was interesting. He'd never been a punk-rocker before. "I guess that means I should start wearing eyeliner, huh? And maybe get some tattoos… and a few piercings…" he listed with a thoughtful expression. Aaaallright, maybe the whole 'punk-rocker' look was not really very suited for this dorky Gryffindor. He liked his face and body tattoo-free and piercing-free. He was okay with the mohawk, though. But he still preferred his lion's mane, messy as it was.

Brae the Lion Cub had been so distracted with thoughts of tattoos and piercings and this and that, that he failed to notice the way his Hufflepuff friend had begun to shiver. It wasn't until she asked if they could head inside that he realized she must've been freezing to death. Oh no! Friend-freezing-to-death alert! "Wha'…? Yeah! Yeah, of course!" said Braeden, looking a bit startled as he quickly began to pick up his books and his schoolbag that he had dumped on the ground earlier. Charlie was freezing and there he was just going on and on about stupid stuff like tattoos and piercings! They had to get to the castle before she froze! "Sorry, I'd perform a warming spell for you, but last time I tried I accidentally set my robes on fire," said the boy with a soft chuckle as he began to lead the way back into the castle in hurried steps. He had to get Charlie back in the warmth ASAP, or else… well, or else nothing seriously bad would happen, but Braeden could be dramatic when he wanted to be.
