She was smiling as she turned toward Louisa - and faltered at the sight of the treatment of the broom. "Don't just drag it around like that!" she said, frowning. "That's completely disrespectful." Brooms ought to be treated with care, otherwise they wouldn't work very well. Maybe that was why Louisa had been having trouble before.

Vashti nodded at the good weather comment. It was part of the reason why she'd suggested they start practicing today; it wouldn't be very wise to start teaching someone to fly in bad weather. Teaching in an immensely crowded area wasn't wise either - which was why she was glad there weren't too many people flying around at the moment.

"No, it's really not that crowded," she replied with a shake of her head. But, after a moment's pause, she added, "Y'know, if you don't want to practice, that's fine. Just let me know now because this won't go well at all if I have to force you."
Louisa raised her eyebrows at the 'disrespect' word. What? Did brooms have feeling now? "How do I hold it then?" Over my head like an idiot? she thought and kept it inside. No need to insult Vashti's hobby...or whatever.

"I am not a quitter, Vashti." She seemed to say that a lot to this particular friend. Without thinking further about the reason, she threw the broom next to her on the ground and breathed in deeply. "So... what do we do first?" Louisa had her hands on her hips. She wasn't in her school robes, but was wearing a grey bluish jeans, a light blue T-shirt and a half-zipped grey jacket. She thought about bringing a helmet but decided against it at the last minute; First she didn't know where to find one, and second Vashti could die laughing and Louisa would be the reason.
