I am splendid... and also very curious." Very curious to go on that ship and see what was in there, but he didn't say that. "Oh, yes. I was only slightly scratched by a bear. The real problem was, you see, the bear took my arm, so we had to find it before it could be reattached to my body. It was also quite damaged with bite marks and such when it was retrieved." It was better now, in fact, it looked like it had prior to the attack. "It happened during winter break, and just recently it healed entirely. I suppose it was fair. The bear was playing with a pogrebin, well a rock, which would surely turn into a pogrebin and eat it, so I took it from him, then he took my arm." He reached for his pocket. "But I won! I have my arm back and the rock!" He pulled the rock from his pocket. "It turned out it's an ordinary rock, but I didn't want to risk it."
Kurumi's jaw dropped and she staaaaaaaaaaaared at Eino. "
A-A-A bear took your WHAT?!" Not waiting for further confirmation, Kurumi grabbed Eino's left arm and inspected it. Nothing. Dropping it rather forcefully to Eino's side, she snatched his right arm and inspected it as well. Nothing.
Kurumi didn't know much about wizarding medicine, but the one trip she had taken to the hospital wing last term when here and Hugo had been attacked by the man-eating plant in the Herbology greenhouse had ended well.
Kurumi then looked at the rock. Really? He had kept the rock? As a memento for the entire incident? That begged the question as to whether or not he had named it, but Kurumi was a bit too afraid to ask.
"
Well, I am so glad that you are back," she smiled nodding her head and putting his other arm down. "
I am sure Walnut will be too. He has run off somewhere, I'm afraid."
Kurumi looked at the rock again. When Eino said he was curious, did he mean that he was curious as to why he walked around with a rock in his pocket, because she certainly was.
"
Do you want to check out the ship? Father told me he may be doing a piece on it for the Daily Prophet. He works part time there now."
