But his eyes soon traveled back to gaze at the friend beside him, who complimented the lagoon nicely. Sunlight seemed to bounce off of her long hair and... oh no. It seems Alfie's staring problem had rubbed off on Theo. Blinking a few times, he looked around for a moment, sizing up one place from another. There was a small cliff where a long, thick rope hung from the branch of a tree. Gulping a bit nervously, he made a mental note of avoiding that place for now. "Hm..." He began, staring off into the short distance. "Do you want to go look at the fish? I passed by a small inlet when I came in and I think they're all congregating there."
It was a lame idea, but the only one that he had. Theo didn't much feel up for swimming right now and thus turning his fro into an even bigger bird's nest than it already was. Checking that his wand was still in the back pocket of his trousers, the teen unceremoniously stuffed his hands into his pockets, where they wouldn't be tempted to awkwardly gesture as they walked and talked. Talking a few short steps in his bare feet (he hadn't wanted the laces of his trainers to get stuck in the jagged rocks or branches or bushes that lay about), he began to lead the way.
As Theo suggested they go look at the fish, mentioning a kind of inlet where most of them had congregated, Alfie's features lit up. "I'd like that very much," she agreed, about to follow after him when she caught sight of his bare feet. That actually wasn't a bad idea, especially since they were probably going to get awfully close to the water. So the blonde quickly removed her sneakers, revealing her bare feet just moments later, which were free of any nail polish or anything of the sort. Alfie wasn't really one for that sort of thing. Setting her sneakers down on the rock, she quickly caught up with the boy who was leading the way, finding her place at his side in the next moment.
They walked in silence for the next minute or so, Alfie's large blue eyes gazing around as they started towards the inlet. But her mind seemed to be on other things, as she glanced at Theo curiously every once in a while, quickly returning her gaze to the ground in the next moment. "You know," she started softly, a small smile on her expression. "I didn't really expect you to actually follow through with what you said at the Three Broomsticks," the blonde mentioned, interest in her tone. "About wanting to meet up again sometime," she clarified, daring to allow her blue eyes to meet his own with a small smile. But it was true, she had eventually assumed that the boy had simply said it to be polite.
