She liked this girl, she was nice and Cat appreciated nice people. They were going to have to talk more. In the dorm, or something. Not right now, cause they were busy and all, plus, boys. Girl talk with boys around wasn't the way to do things.

Girl Code.

No one seemed to mind having a wounded person in their photoshoot, so Cat supposed she could be a good sport and not make a fuss. "If I'm going to be in the pictures, you're going to be in the pictures too." Cat jabbed Mo's side and gave him a look. He couldn't just take pictures.

Interviews with injured players? "Maybe we can think of a gruesome story to go with it." She added to Benjy, "The more gruesome, the more interesting." Oh? Did they find a broom? Cat watched with curious eyes. Broomsticks were super important to the theme.

Although going with a National team look was better, in a way. He waited for everyone to finish pulling their items out of the box, quietly pleased with how well the group was getting on and how nice everyone was being to Cat about her arm. Just pleased in general.

"Your hair is fantastic, Benjy. I'll wear the helmet AND the goggles, if you want, 'cause... you know the girls won't be willing to wear it," Mo said quietly to Benjy as the gestured to the wall behind their bench. Flag there, good sir, and then they could begin.

"I have a tripod with me. That's normal, right?" Mo looked to Cat for affirmation before continuing. "We can set up the camera and then all four of us can be in the picture together. Maybe the girls on the bench and Benjy and I can stand behind them and look menacing. What if we... Accio'd our brooms?" All the thoughts at once.

"I'm ready as soon as we're posed."

They could use a few spells on that to change it to the logo of some Quidditch Team or something. Good one. Nice. They only needed a broom now, though. It was an important part of their photoshoot, after all. What's a Quidditch Team without brooms? Well, she did see some without brooms but, to her, it seemed like there was something missing. Something that lacks, you know? Did anyone get what she meant? Did anyone feel her?

... Oh? Something near her left arm? Astrid looked to her left and dug for whatever it was, before pulling it and holding it up. AH. A broom for kids! A little bit of charms could do the trick, right? "Some sort of broom made specially for toddler, I think? It's kinda smaller than the normal broomstick." Yep. That was it. "This would do, yeah?" They had nothing else so they'd have to stick with this one. It wasn't a big deal, anyway.

So, were Cat and Benjy ready? "I'm good to go," Astrid said. They found some jerseys that they could slip on. Mo was taking the photos until it was his turn, right? She looked at her fellow models. Time to start?

"A gruesome story?" Benjy gave her a little smirk. "I'm sure were can do that." He tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Forced into the stands by a rogue bludger? Attacked by Rabid Badgers? Chased by a real fire-breathing dragon mascot?" Hmm. Getting anywhere close? There was a reason he wasn't on the staff of the student newpaper or yearbook. His suggestions weren't exactly gruesome, were they?

Oh good, they liked the flag. And that WAS a toy broom. Awesome! A tad on the small side, sure, but definitely better than nothing. A Quidditch shoot without brooms was...well, not Quidditchy? Especially in the absence of the balls too. He stood up from the props box, and stretched as he headed back to the others.

Benjy flicked his hair for show, with a chuckle. "Nah, I'll helmet it up. Can't have the Captain over-protected. It'll make you look vulnerable, helmet AND goggles no where near the pitch." And you never made your team leader look vulnerable. Even if this was only a photo shoot for fun. And with that, he ran a hand through his hair to pull it back from his face, and then pulled the helmet on over the top. "There," he said with a grin, and tufts of hair sticking out at random angles out the sides and back.

Jumping over their bench, Benjy grabbed the flag. "I can do menacing," he replied to Mo, as he unfurled the flag and held it up to the girls. "So, straight? At an angle?" Help? It'd be neither if they left him to it...
