And... who wouldn't use a ladder? Barbarians? Seriously.
"When I find you... IF I find you I might smack you for having to come down here to find you," she said with a haughty tone.
Lexi swatted at his arm and frowned. He was seriously irritating her. Then as he slammed his leg into a barrel she actually snorted with laughter. "Serves you right. Talking to me like that. That's what you get," she said with a tone of delight.
"Perhaps I could relax if you weren't SHOUTING at me to RELAX, VORPATRIL," she screeched at him. Having had about enough she released his arm and began to walk ahead in a hurried manner. Quote:

She really did hope she wouldn't break one of her nails, honestly much more concerned of it than Sierra facing scratches on her shoulders.
Errrrr. "Lumos? Oh right!"
She preferred the Bubble-Head charm but oh well. "Lumos," she whispered.
The girl immediately had fun with her newly lit wand, poking it on Sierra's back and watching as the girl's back mystically glowed--a magical spine indeed. Then, she proceeded to throw it up to her face and make RAWR expressions right beside her neck to spook her whenever Sierra looked back. Expressions--they were good exercise for an actress, you know. That was her excuse. LOLA WAS SHHHH'D and her wand immediately jerked toward the girl's face to get a better look at her. "Hi," was her simple response. Who was this girl? WHY WAS SHE SHHHH'ing her? Why did she not know the Bubble-Head Charm? Why, girly, WHY?!
But oh, the girl talked to her! MY MY MY!
This was an obvious attempt of friendship (Lola thought everything was an attempt of friendship) and so, while holding one hand to Sierra's shoulder, she reaaaaached for the girls' arms with her wand arm. "Let's be friends."
Saying that in a dark room beneath the ship deck was not strange at all. "GUNPOWDER?"
She sniffed, another deep inhale, suddenly thinking about guns. "What if it explodes? Or burns us all?!" WHO WAS THIS BOY WHO WAAAASSSS THIS BOOOY?
Lola was meeting a lot of people from Sierra in this little ship journey they were doing. And for that, she would forever be grateful to the second year girl. She had waved her wand around his face, the bright light still emanating out and she pointed it out to him until she got a goooooood look.
Of course, he was talking to her.
And of course, like the girl before, she immediately thought this was a sly way to befriend her.
She couldn't follow his directions because as of the moment, she was trying her very best to get a good grip on both girls walking with here (if she had a third arm, she definitely would hold his hand too) and so, her nose was helpless, facing the odor. But on a happier note, she gladly stated, "You can be my friend too, daaaaaahhhling, don't worry!"
She cocked her head, trying to look everywhere where she could see something unusual or special about the cool, little ship. Quote:

He turned and frowned as Lexi yelled no yelling wasn't the right word. Made a god awful screeching sound that had words in it. "I'm not shouting. But you are now." Oh great and now she was walking away. Whatever. Shoving his free hand in his pocket he walked behind her holding his wand out and looking around. "Don't see what your hurry is. Not like they can get out that way," he muttered. So they wouldn't miss them. Quote:

Wait, Slytherin, wait. "Are you planning on doing so after?" it wasn't really a question, it was only a remark, hence the smirk on his face. But, really, Salander, he won't say if those are his plans, anyway. And the kegs? Didn't he, like, saw those on the way down here? By the look on his face, the Slytherin had been hoping to find something more enjoyable amongst those little barrels.
Under attack? Right. Or not. "They could've been transporting the gunpowder, you know? Sort of like merchant marines and such," so, no, Treyen didn't think this ship went off to war, never mind the fact that there were cannon balls up there. "There are some coins, I think," he said, pointing out his wand toward a bunch of barrels, and he would've gotten closer to them, if Conan had remained quiet. Because, dude! COINS! For Aslan, you know? The Niffler.
Say what? Treyen turned his wand to Conan. "What do you mean you don't have it? Did you lose it?" or break it? Because Treyen broke his sister's wand once. One of the most fun and terrifying days of his life.
At least he wanted to be on the ship, right? Awesome! "Actually, anything that would help...," he started to say, looking around, "...getting more insight on the boat," he nodded and then shook his head, "I mean, ship." Good one.
Whaaaat?! He SERIOUSLY wanted to say 'Take your hand away from my face, Snake!', but after frowning upon the origins of that thought, he decided to frown for real thanks to all the light that was blinding him. Thank you, Slytherin girl, for blinding us momentarily.
And...friends?
Wait, who was she again? "Right. If I want to, you mean." No, he was NOT being rude, she'd been rude by pointing her wand at THEM, yes, he would've been okay with the wand-pointing if the girl had never pointed it to Ellie. Tsk. He didn't approve of that. "What's your name, by the way?" he never mentioned his, but that seemed rather unnecessary for Salander had said it already.
You know what? Forget about Sierra's singing friend, and about the ship sinking, or exploding, or being swallowed whole by the Giant Squid, or a Kraken, or whatever. Actually, his interest towards the ship and the primary reason for him stepping inside were zeroed down by Ellie's smile.
Now, his smile widened, and he fought the urge to roll his eyes at her command. Seriously, he thought they'd stopped discussing the spider topic a while ago, and he wasn't mentioning anything else in regards to it.
In fact, his reply, didn't even need a context to be used on, "Anything for you."
Simple as that. Quote:

Groaning a little bit she scrambled up. "EWWWWW! It's all gross... there's stuff on my hands... where did my wand go?" she babbled as she rushed forward and began to wipe her grimey hands on Ivan's jacket. His pants were already ripped... "After?" he shifted his head at Treyen and smirked "Why do you think are we crawling all over the ship for? Souvenir hunting aint for after buddy. We've boarded the ship. Its ours for the taking!" he cackled all pirate like. Now if they could only find something of value...
Oh coins! Shiny!
He crouched low and picked up a piece, caked with dirt from all the years this ship lay abandoned. "Really old these coins, kinda look like Galleons to me" he muttered as he peered closely, rubbing his thumb across its surface to wipe off the grime. He looked up at Treyen when the younger boy was talking about the ship being a merchant vessel. The Slytherin lad shrugged "Well yeah I suppose, but if it was transporting gunpowder for sale I'd expect a lot more of it here, not to mention more artillery and military equipment to go with the whole deal." And from what they've seen above and now below deck, it didnt look like there were enough canons and artillery other than those that comes part of the ship.
He looked back down at the coin in his hand, and at the handful of those scattered on the dank floor "And if it was a merchant vessel, wouldnt there be like, more money or something? Seems to me like these are just pot money from the crew playing cards or games or something."
Between talk of the Slytherin girl fearing an explosion and Ellie fearing that the ship was so dank and leaky it was going to sink, the 18 yr old Slytherin had to laugh "Would you guys relax? The Headmaster is standing above deck, him and Deputy Vindy invited students to check the ship out, if it was dangerous you really think they would let us get on this thing?" He stood up and wiped his hands on his pants, and deftly pocketed the gold piece he turned his head suddenly at the bickering ruckus descending down the hatch.
Ah finally his Gryffincess was coming down the the lower deck! Oh and look she dragged the Kitchen Eagle along.
He grinned expectantly but a brow went up when he realized that her voice sounded tenser than usual. Thats not how his Luv usually is-- she was fearless, nothing scared her. He recast the lumos spell a bit stronger, lighting more of his way as he neared them "Well Luv I'm pretty sure this was a fine ship when she was brand new, but now she needs a little TLC you know." Then he saw Ivan's ripped pant leg and smirked "Uh yeah and watch your step around here man, you'll never know what you'll run into." he advised belatedly, trying to keep himself for laughing it up further with Lexi's hand prints all over the Ravenclaw's jacket. Wait is he leaving? "Hey where you going Ivan? Adventure's just starting. Dont wanna miss out on the fun do you?" |
