"Oh, sweet!" That sounded nice. "Well, if you ever miss it, I'd be happy to chat with you in the common room." He could understand just how upsetting it must be to miss those things. If he could bring his friend happiness, he would.

Sutton couldn't help but laughing at his confused expression about softball. She imagined her face must have looked the same the first time she heard the word Quidditch. "Um... well, it's kind of like... baseball... do you know that one?" She bit her lip as she tried to figure out how to explain baseball or softball to him. "Well, like, there are two teams. One team is in the field, and one is up to bat. So the team in the field... they throw the ball, and the team up to bat has to hit it and then run around all the bases and get back to the home base..." she said. Shaking her head and laughing again lightly she said, "It would be easier to explain if we were actually playing it..."

Sutton wasn't so good with words. She was better with physically teaching things rather than just explaining.

"Yeah... I'd love to join you! Though, I'm more of a morning person, so I'd probably join you at dawn," she said with smile. Plus there were too many people out at dusk... she liked open space when she ran. "You know, I really haven't run much since I've been here, but maybe knowing you'll be running BEHIND me will give me some motivation," she joked, winking at him. Oh yes... behind her. Sutton might be little, but she was fast.

As he offered to hang out in the common room with her and talk all night, her face blushed again slightly as she looked away from his gaze. How any boy could want to talk to her for THAT long she wasn't sure, but he had said she was awesome, so....
