The courtyard was his first stop, and the covered pathways that led here were absolutely perfect and Tobias picked up some good speed, but he wasn't sure if they counted as indoors or outdoors. He zoomed out in into the actual courtyard, pleased to see that, apart from some annoying juddering, his skateboard worked just fine out here.

Maybe he was a little bit too distracted by that thought, because Tobias suddenly found himself headed STRAIGHT FOR someone, about to crash into them from sideways on. He swerved to miss them and managed it, though he lost control, not used to the surface. The boy just went ahead and leapt off the board, before hurrying over to pick it up.

"Sorry! Sorry sir!" he called to the guy as he turned and walked back,not really LOOKING at the dude's face and so not yet recognising who he was speaking to. "I reckon I should probably learn to pay a bit more attention."

This dude had noooooooooo idea how much he seemed to get into these situations at home.

Just observing stuff. Minding his own business, you know. Just walking around and stuff. When all of the sudden, out of nowhere, Piers saw a flash of movement to his side. Seeing a kid zooming towards him on a skateboard, Piers' eyes popped wide open as he leaped backwards frantically, in barely enough time to not get run over by the board and the child.

Piers straightened his coat again and shrugged it off. "No worries. You have no idea how often this happens back hom...." Hold up, was that..?

It was! "You're that kid!" Piers suddenly exclaimed, the imaginary light bulb going off in his head. He wouldn't be able to forget the face that torpedoed past him everyday since he moved in to his new place (slight exaggeration applied). "You've nearly ran me over at least five times already." Back home, in Brighton. And look at that, he was actually a wizard. Small world.
