No extra giant books or anything.
Duck feet? Seriously? Louisa let out a laugh that faded quickly when the boy didn't laugh back. Her eyes widened at him and she suppressed the grin, "Oh, you're serious. Well..uhh.. I don't really like posing as a.. d-"ork. "-uck." And hopefully he wasn't about to force her into wearing them LIKE HE DID IN CLASS. Ahem.
"Anyways!" She picked up the enthusiastic tone, "I don't believe I've ever told you my name but you can call me Louisa as we work on this assignment together." It was reeeeally a relief that he was a younger boy. She wouldn't get caught brewing romance if she accidentally touched his hand or leaned to check his sundial position or whatever. HEH.
"I was trying to get a reading from my sundial." She pushed the giant book toward him and pointed at the figure that she'd been staring at, "This is the hour numbers that should be aligned uniformly in all kinds of sundials." Touching the arrow suspended on her sundial, Louisa went on, "This arrow should cast a shadow on the sundial letting us know what time it is during the day. It's called gnomon." The arrow that is.
Louisa paused, glancing at the boy for any signs of mind block or sudden inspiration.
Donald duck?
"what's a donald duck?" Daichi blinked as he asked the question. He had no idea what she was talking about. But he did smile a little when she told him to set down his equipment and he did so , on the table besides her stuff.
Daichi watched as she suddenly began to laugh but he didn't get what she was laughing at so he remained quiet.
"I never joke about ducks..." he said, sounding VERY seriously and then he gaaaasped!
"Dont...don't want to pose as a duck!?!" he shouted, harder than he had wanted as he flailed his arms up and down.
"I'll pretend i haven't heard that"
she is crazy!
Oh ..introductions... He stopped flailing his arms and bowed a little.
"Ehm..nice to meet you Louisa i'm Daichi" ...wait..how did she know he liked ducks? Did he have a stalker?! awesome.
Still amazed at the thought of having a possible stalker, Daichi shook his head and started to listen to the older Ravenclaw as she began to speak about the assignment. The Slytherin stared at her, mouth slightly open and when she was finished he said
"Gnomon is a funny word" and giggled.
But all weird words aside, Daichi took his own sundial and tried to mimick hers by moving the arrow to the right place.
"So the shadow is for reading the time..right?" he asked because he had no clue on what he was doing.
" Can't we just look at our watches and write the time BUT make it five minutes earlier so it isn't suspicious?" he would have....
