"Thank you," she smiled. It didn't occur to her to sit on the blanket, but she appreciated the extra room he made. So on the blanket was where she placed Jacob's bag, while she sat on the grass.
The tablet went in her lap and she was just unholstering her wand when he spoke again. "You're observant," she said. "You can call me Ellie, though, really." Although she really didn't mind 'Captain'. And...he was...?
Examining the things in her hand for a moment before it occured to him it was probably rude, Joćo looked into her eyes for good for the first time and decided to keep his eyes there. He wondered for a moment if she was a friend of Louisa or that girl in herbology whose name he could never get. Her brother's was West, though. Would she know him, as well?
Shrugging off the questions, he chuckled at the 'observant'. Yeah. He took that as a compliment, actually. Trying not to look at the wand again, he said
"I'm Jo-ah-oo." Pronouncing that as slowly as he could for her to get it on the first time. If she could, she would be the quickest one to get it. And his prejudice that Ranveclaws weren't that bright would probably be proven wrong.
Hopefully.
