He smiled, rubbing his elbow to stave off the nerves. "Sure, it's alright. It doesn't have any neat nicknames though."

Lucas followed Lux's gaze to the lake and peered over her shoulder at the tiny air bubbles popping on the surface.
"Oh," he mumbled. She had a point. "But he's a lot bigger than me," Lucas reasoned, "This place has a lot of quirks, though. Like the stairs.." And at this he huffed, angrily. "Do you know how many times I've tripped? Like infinity." It was the worst. "Or ended up where I started?"
Why was this boy blushing? o_O

"That helps me too." She really wished that he would stop seeming so awkward, because he was a boy who got anxiety, not an alien or something. Or at least he didn't look like an alien to her. "I love Quidditch and I want to play badly, but I get anxiety over flying." See, Lucas... anxiety is normal; no need to blush. "I can give you a nickname. I'm sure I can think of something." And it would be totally unusual, since he had such a normal name.

Laughing, Lux shrugged again. "Elephants are big too, but they aren't scary. Maybe he wants to give people giant squid hugs." Perhaps it got lonely deep in the lake. Ooh, but the stairs issue was something she could relate to. Nod. Yes indeedy!

"Maybe we could use a map to help us not get lost! And we can make sure our shoes are always tied so that we don't trip." It seemed like a good idea to her at least.
