Then she noticed that his hair was soaking wet and that he was still breathing heavily. He must have been by the lake then, but why was he running? Her eyes widened. "You didn't fall in the Lake and anger something that lived in there did you? You're not running away from something, right?" she asked worriedly. Maybe she should prepare for an attack from some Lake Monster.
Astronomy? Ah yeah. He should probably get a start on that. Tobias nodded at the explanation. It made sense after all, seeing as morning sort of... preceded night.
He laughed at what she said next, generally being in high spirits after his morning run.
"Haha, no." Yeah, no. He avoided falling in there if he could help it. Y'know... squid with questionable motives and all.
"I just went for a run and stopped by the lake to cool off." November air WAS cold, but the water was even colder and way more helpful.
"And I'm not sure the squid has like... land capabilities."
Such as walking.
And breathing.
Aaaaaaaaaanyway.
"You're a second year, right?" Toby asked cheerfully, still with enough energy to bounce on his toes.
"What was your name again?"
