"Right." He said, and almost mimicked her rolling of the eyes, ALMOST. But didn't. "Never mind me, then," that should be an easy task for Sierra, no? He knew very little of her, but the little he knew was that she never gave up...that only means...whichever her purpose was by staying on a ship she wished not to be, then, she wasn't getting off until that purpose was accomplished.
But, wait...FUN? He chuckled as she spoke, and then shook his head, "Yeah, good thing I don't mind sharing," he winked her way and then Salander sort of...fell down there. Great. Just great.
Since the boy was trying to hear if any of the ones who'd entered the darkness needed assistance, the question about Hufflepuffs was conveniently ignored.
Sierra's exclamation brought him back to the place he was currently standing on, and then she was off to follow another Slytherin boy. He was rather surprised that she'd called him back, but that only meant...., "Yes, Sierra? Do you want me to lead the way?" he said, a smirk on his face. It was rather obvious that perhaps she wanted the Hufflepuff to go first, in case something happened, right? Nah, Sierra was a sweet Slytherin, no?
Sierra actually
playfully rolled her eyes at that point.
"I'm only kidding, Lockhart. If I didn't mind researching, I'd never have gotten involved in the whole Alzheimer's Potions last school year." Speaking of which, they needed to look into finishing that, or at least figuring out the next step or two. She very lightly laughed, for reasons even she didn't know, and then absentmindedly kicked at a loose rope near her feet.
He winked at her then, and she was almost sure she blushed, even though she knew he meant nothing by winking. She absolutely hated the fact that Treyen was doing this to her (
He was responsible! It was all
his fault...somehow!), but maybe if she exercised a little self-control and looked away more, the laughing and blushing would stop. She looked up quickly and glared at him, following that look by an eye roll. It was the only thing she could think to do at that moment.
With a smirk, she finally said,
"Of course I want you to lead the way. If you fall, call up to me and let me know where all the bad spots are." Yes, she was only joking, but if Treyen really
did want to let her know where all the bad spots were, she wouldn't mind that either.

He handed Tate the hat. "Take care of that. And make sure no one dies during the Quidditch tryouts while I'm gone."
Hehe.
Vindictus gave Tate a salute and marched down the gangplank to dry land. There was a bounce in his step as he made his way back to the Castle.
Wait just a minute. Vindictus was
leaving them?! Well wasn't that just
so typical of him?! He was the one last term who made them clean the school brooms and the Herbology greenhouses. The man did nothing on his own, she'd gathered. Well, maybe officiate Quidditch matches, which he was very, very good at, but she wasn't the least bit surprised when he decided to lead them through this journey only to jump ship when the going got tough.

But he reverted his attention to Elise with a smirk and an offer of his scrawny elbow, "Belowdecks?"
Sierra glanced over her shoulder and saw that her Slytherin friend, whatever his name was, had found someone
else to talk to. She rolled her eyes as she turned back around.
Boys. Well, at least she still had Treyen to take the journey with, even if
he was currently calling over some red-headed Ravenclaw to join them. She sighed to herself, realizing that boys were
creatures who just couldn't make up their minds.

Swallow. Ellie gave Sierra a nod of acknowledgement. "Down there?" she asked, eyes wandering to the hatch. "Into the dark depths of the unknown?" Where the arthropods dwell? "There better not be spiders..." Or bugs of any sort.
She should probably get her wand out, yeah?
A nod? That's all she got--a nod!? Well, at least it was better than the other boy's (Sally's) friend.
She'd ignored Sierra altogether. Sierra returned the greeting in the same exact way--a nod. Well, she and this girl would just make the greatest of friends, now wouldn't they? ...hmph.
