BAM!

"Woah," he said as he steadied both the person, Feo, and himself from falling onto the freezing Lake. The ice on the Lake didn't look that thick so luckily the three of them didn't end up on top of that. If they had that would have been really bad. He glanced up to find a very pretty girl about his own age apologizing in a very strange accent. He certainly knew that the accent was American; however, he wasn't sure where the pretty girl was from in that massive country. Feo started to yap happily at the stranger, wondering too where she had come from.

"That's alright. It's rather slippery around here. It's way too cold for my liking," he said with a kind smile and a nervous chuckle as he offered her a hand to help her up. He thought that he'd seen her around in a couple of classes, but he wasn't too sure. Oh well, time to make a new friend! Friends were good. "I'm Simon Holden. And this is Feo. Professor Botros' crup. I volunteered to walk him around today."

Why did it have to be so darn cold? Why could there be snow and it be warm? Maybe it would be less slippery too. The third year Lion felt so embarrassed as she slid into two people or were they objects? Emmylou shielded her ocean blue eyes from the sunshine so she could get a look at the person that had saved her.. She wondered who the person was so she could thank them over and over again for not letting her fall into the freezing water of the black lake.

Emmylou blinked for a moment. Snow was beautiful but the blonde didn't like how it made the day so much brighter, she really would need to buy some sunglasses or have her Aunt Raeanne buy send her some. Here it goes, her apology, she knew that no one was hurt but she still felt really bad for slipping and falling and almost making herself, this nice boy and the poor animal falling into the freezing water. "I am so, so, so, so, so, so sorry." Emmylou gave the boy and the crup a warm smile.

As they the boy introduced him and his companion she squinted her blue eyes the using her hand to shield the sun so she could have a normal conversation without the sun getting in the way of it. "It's very nice to me you Simon and Feo." She smiled brightly, that was her favorite thing to do; smile. Smiling just made everything better and it made any nervous situation normal and happy again...at least to Emmylou it did. "I'm Emmylou Duchannes." she gave Simon and Feo and friendly wave.
