I just pretend that I'm a stormtrooper because I get to wear their cool helmet." Matt finished and grinned. Tadah!
Talking about Star Wars sure got him to feel better. He didn't feel like puking anymore! Woohoo! And about him wanting to go wandering about in the dark, trying to find a route to a place he'd never been, most likely surrounded by magical wards and hostile creatures, Matt beamed. "Yeah! You got it!" Clever girl! Matt liked her already. "Come on, this way!" He said, pointing to the OPPOSITE direction, away from the lake.
WAIT, did he hear STORMTROOPER CARRIER? His head whipped around to look back at the boats. At the kid bellowing, more specifically. Matt didn't know him, but he was already in his good books because he was talking Star Wars, ALRIGHT.
But he was in a boat. Which was a no-no. "We're getting to the castle through a different route!" Matt spoke rather loudly to make sure the other kid heard him. "I might have a real reason to use my blaster." Which Matt was looking forward to, really. Not that his blaster was a REAL blaster but hey, he had his wand now. RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
But yeah, no boat.
“I’m from
Earth,” she huffed, “not some… some
galaxy far far away! And you’re not explaining things at
all.” At. All. He was just being more and more confusing, and she decided to dismiss everything about these ‘Star Wars’ as some nonsense he’d come up with to pass the time on the train. That seemed more likely than him being a knight of some sort
though him being a knight would actually explain the helmet.
“That is an absolutely terrible idea,” she
informed him, and to add to her certainty she dug her heels into the dirt. Honestly. Terrible.
When she heard some other boy yelling about stormtroopers and other assorted nonsense, however, she was forced to reconsider her earlier dismissal of… of
whatever this thing was. This thing of stormtroopers and blasters and helmets delivered via owl by the mysterious Ethan.
It did, however, present a solution to wandering off into the hostile wilds with Matt Solo. She grabbed the shoulder of his cloak and asked, “You mean you’re going to run away from a fight? That doesn’t sound very knightly of you at all.”
At. All.
Matthew.
