And a second year was calling her first year? Exscuse me? What train did he step off exactly, because he must've came to the wrong place at the wrong time. Sorry kid, she didn't put up with that. Except from teachers. And everybody else. But this was irrelevant! Because right now, there was little bit of playing to do, and that involved sassing him right back. He called him a first ear? She'd call him kid. Sorry, but you didn't mess with a kid like Ophelia. Unless you were her sbilings. But they got a special family pass so yeah. Okay, that was a really long metaphor, she would have to work on that.
"So GLAD I could be of service. So second year..." Because that was how she was adressing him now, thank you very much.... " since you saw the door before, where do we start looking? Because you saw the room before and I obviously had no idea what I'm doing." That's right. she was going at it. Unless this was too much. Sorry in advance if it was too much, second year, because she wasn't trying to be mean. She was trying to be sassy. There was a difference. "Or do you want to go to the lake first?" And to tell the truth, the last part wasn't sarcasm. She was inviting him to go adventuring with her. He WAS the one who mentioned the lake and the room, so by rights, he should get to go along too. Unless he became annoying. Then the first year was ditching him somewhere and running back to the castle. But he didn't seem annoying at all. He actually seemed pretty cool. Besides the sass.
Also, now HE was excited. Must be an explorer thing. She finally found another one!
This was a feisty first year, and he loved it. It was nice having someone who put up with his sarcasm and sass. There weren't many people who would, his mom included. Anyways, there were more matters to attend to. Like how this first year was sassing him right back. Weren't you supposed to respect your elders? Now, yes, he wasn't an elder per say... but he was older, which should give him some sort of rights here.
Second year? So that's how it was going to be?
"Well, First Year, it is getting late out, so we'd be out when it gets dark out." He glanced her way, giving her a look that showed he meant business.
"But if that's too scary for you, we can stay in the safe castle and find this mysterious room. I'm game for anything." He smirked and raised an eyebrow. He was ready for any sort of adventuring that was going to go on. He hadn't been adventuring much this term, and he was itching to get out there. Most of the castle and grounds were probably the same from last term, but he was positive that things have changed. There had to be something.
