Eventually she decided that Lex would be able to find her, hopefully and she just downcast her eyes hoping to get rid of the glowing spots that had been caused to her vision by the sun.
She heard the lioness approaching and wondered why not so fast. She looked up with a huge smile pulling at her lips and that only got bigger seeing the company Lex had. D'awwwww. The kid. Professor Bellaire's grandson. "Aww... Hi there," Cassia beamed at the kid and approved that Lex had obviously given him a chocolate frog. That's how she raised her..... errr.. not really.
Hopping up, Cassia brushed off whatever got stuck to her clothes then nodded at Lex as she started unzipping her bag to retrieve the required stuffs. "Yup, totally ready," Then benting down closer to the kid she cooed, "What's your name?" could he speak? "What's his name Lex?" First things first.
Why she chose to sit out in the sun was beyond Lex but she didn't question Cassia often and the sun would be appreciated while it was still capable of keeping them warm without them needing additional coats. Who knew, maybe the sun would get her feeling better too. Lex had been feeling a bit under the weather and sluggish of lately.
Glancing down at the little boy once more--who might we add was devouring one of HER chocolate frogs--she tried thinking what they'd do with him while they worked. Make no mistake, she was NOT about to feed him her entire bag while they got this thing done.
And just look at Cassia now, getting completely distracted by him when they were meant to be focusing. She snapped her hands to get the girl's attention but all that got her was questions about his name??? SERIOUSLY???? Lex deadpanned at her bestfriend, wondering briefly if she was being serious about this whole thing. His NAME?
"Bentley. It's Bentley." She should know, she'd had enough run ins with him.
"And HE is going to be a good boy and NOT get in the way." Lex shot him a look to make sure he understood, fished another three chocolate frogs from her bag and handed them to him then picked him up and put him on one of the nearby rocks to sit on. Nice and out of the way.
"I reckon he's small enough to fit into the boats so we'll use him to try them out when we're done...and hope we don't owe Bellaire a new grandson after." Wouldn't that suck. Yikes.
Lex reached into her bag for her wood and dropped it before her...giving another look to the kid.
"Lignum Navicula!"
