Making a complete circle, he looked up again just in time to see Salander following him down abeit the easier way that hadn't be that noticable when he first looked in. However as the Slytherin started to fall, he winced as his companion fell down the stairs to the dark deck below, the Gryffindor walking closer and offering his left hand to help him back up to his feet.
"Guess we both took the hard way down."
Grooooaaannnn....
Maybe he shouldve just done the Gryffindor way eh? He was never any good with stairs on land, what made him think it would be any different on a ship?
Face contorting in a grimace, he could feel every bump and bruise on his entire back. His first souvenir from this mini adventure. Or rather several. And he thought he wont be able to take anything off the ship.
He glanced up and could just make out Simon's silhouette in the dark, the light from the other lad's wand bouncing off his blonde head.
"Hard? Nah, just a little tummble, its nuthin'..." the Slytherin lad blew it off casually, then reached out to grab the Gryffindor's arm, getting up quickly just to prove that he was fine and dandy.
Big mistake.
A yelp escaping his lips before clenching his jaw tight.
"I'mfine. I'mfine. Everythingshfine." He muttered through the frozen smile, jaw still clenched shut. Yeah no need to make a further embarrassment of yourself by whimpering like a girl Fool.
He coolly raised his wand arm about halfway (because really thats as far as he could lift it without crying for mama) and cast the lumos spell again, his eyes shifting to where he had come and the barrel Simon had landed on.
"Barrels..." he uttered obviously then shuffled his way towards it. Rapping his knuckles against it he turned to the Gryffindor Captain
"Wonder if this got something fun to drink?"
He was getting a little thirsty yknow.
