The responsibility of doing her chores and taking care of herself was so deeply ingrained in her, she didn't think she'd ever grow out of it.
Put Logan in his place? Sutton laughed again. The idea of HER being able to put ANYONE in their places was laughable. "No... not exactly. I just kind of... freaked out on him..." she said quietly, staring up at the sky. It really hadn't been a pretty sight. Anyone walking by probably thought he was trying to kill her or something."Well, you have to remember, I would need to learn AT LEAST three years of magic in this one year to get caught up on everything I should know. I would really like to get through all of my 4th year stuff, too... then maybe I could actually be in the same year as everyone else my age." Yeah... that was a bitter subject for her. Sutton hadn't even met anyone in her year, let alone become friends with them.
As Edmund explained that they stayed in touch, Sutton nodded in agreement. They'd definitely have to be in touch, though she was sure Edmund would graduate and get some awesome job and be too busy for little old her. Deciding she should change the subject, she turned her head from where she was laying to look back at the castle. "My foot is going to get REALLY cold," Sutton said with a smile.
Her shrug and nonchalant response reminded him that she'd been in the muggle world for a long time. Elves were probably a very new thing to her. "You'll get used to it one day." He shifted slightly, realising that while he'd not broken anything, he'd probably be getting a bruise where the branch hit him.
"...Same thing, really." He sniggered, thinking about how Sutton would have freaked. "I'm sure he got the message." Someone didn't just freak for no reasons, so surely Logan understood. He'd not known the guy long enough to start talking about his character, but he was clever enough to know that it was a bad idea to try and make Sutton climb a tree. "I know, you have a lot of stuff to learn, but I'm sure you're clever enough to do it." He beamed at her. "I could give you extra lessons, if you want..." He offered, feeling bad for her.
Eyeing her foot when she mentioned it, he sat up. "I suppose we'd better go back to the castle then." He glanced over his shoulder at the large castle that was their temporary home. "You happy with just walking there?" He asked her, smiling at the state they were in. Anyone would mistake them both for mud monsters!
