SPOILER!!: Rooney

What a sweet kid, Clara thought. "Thank you, Rooney Bronwyn," she said, giving him a rare smile. "I like your name, too. I've never known a Rooney before." But there was a first time for everything.

She looked closely at the paper, taking in every instruction for a second time. It couldn't be too difficult to get through the jungle-place, right? There wouldn't be any real dangers .... just things that would appear dangerous. Though, she would need to be in the mind set that they were serious, for a couple of reasons:

1) because that was the point
2) because Rooney was probably in that mind set, too

Another smile from Clara. "You don't have to call me 'Miss', you know?" Of course, she didn't mind if he preferred to call her that, but it did seem a little odd. Granted, it was similar to her calling him 'kid' or 'kiddo': something she was likely to do at some point. "By myself?" She repeated, crinkling her brow. "How about we cross that bridge when we get to it. I'm sure you'll be able to keep up." Clara was going for the 'slow and steady wins the race' approach, after all. She didn't feel comfortable leaving a first year alone in a place they believed to be dangerous.

No time to think about that now, though. They were off.

Clara led the way, continuously checking to see if Rooney was with her. He was. Good little 'claw. "Have you go- ugHHH!" UGH. WHAT. WHAT WAS HAPPENING? The redhead blinked several times and flinched every time she was bitten, trying to get her bearings. Were these mosquitoes and ... locusts? She reacted immediately, half shoving Rooney behind her (not that it made a difference, the bugs were EVERYWHERE), and shot out spells. "Immobilus! Immobilus! Immobilus!" She cried, aiming at different groups of bugs in turn, then swatting them out of the way. She tried to wrack her brain for more spells. What could eat locusts and mosquitoes?

It was wild, ha. The first year showed her the paper in case she hadn't yet read it for herself and smiled up at her. Maybe she'd have a quick hint for the first part, just in assistance for them both. He didn't want to let her down now that she had a really nice name. "I'm ready to have no other team members." Rooney's smile widened a bit and he re-read the instructions and also repeated what Aunt Rhea's Mama had instructed them to do in his head. "Miss Clara? Can you promise me that if I can't keep up, you'll just go by yourself?" He would much rather that she got it all done than he did. She clearly had less time left here than he - what with him being a little first year, and her...tall. OKAY. TIME TO GO. ONWARDS. He would have offered to hold her hand if she wanted him to, but he knew that this activity didn't allow for them to emotionally rely on one another - rIGHT? "Let's go!" Woooooooooo. He really shouldn't have been excited about this. What a sweet kid, Clara thought. "Thank you, Rooney Bronwyn," she said, giving him a rare smile. "I like your name, too.
