Not just casually conversing after passing one another in the corridor. She swallowed and again looked toward Lafay's office. When she turned back to Eino, she was more relaxed. "Thanks," she casually said.
She couldn't decide if his expression that followed was a smile or a sign of nausea. He was handing her a box, though, so she decided it had to be a smile. "For me?" she asked, taking the box. Should she have gotten him something, too? Is that what boys and girls did when they decided to hang out with one another? She quickly opened the box then held the instrument up to get a better look at it. "An astrolabe," she said, breaking out into a smile, "thanks, Eino." It was a practical gift, and that was her favorite kind. Teddy bears and flowers were sweet, but Sierra the type of girl who appreciated things like astrolabes much more.
She placed it carefully back into the box then looked back up at him. "I love it," she remarked, "and I can definitely use it." More like, ...needed it to help her with her sometimes terrible Astronomy skills. Looking t him, she gestured her head in the direction they'd take to go to the snowman building competition. "Let's go make one awesome snowman," she said, as she turned on her heels and began to leave the corridor. "As in, ...if it's really a competition, let's win this thing."
"It's a sampo." Eino replied nervously as they walked side by side to a vacant area. The two of them, they would need a lot of space to build their snowman.
"That means it's bewitched to bring good luck." He didn't now how true that was but even if it lacked the magic it could still be used for other things astrolabes were usually used for.
He finally stopped and began to gather some snow by sweeping it with his feet towards the center, creating a small heap. At least now that they could begin their snowman building there wouldn't be any awkward silents.
"Any creative ideas for a snowman?" He asked as he continued to sweep some snow towards the heap, this time with his hands. He didn't want to use too much magic, because that defeated the purpose of building it. This was something we could do without it, so he would keep his wand in his pocket. He also didn't want Sierra to have to get on her knees and start gathering the snow, that would get her clothes wet and dirty, and he didn't want that to happen.
