She would just....pretend Nat didn’t totally have a point about it being much harder to get to the bats with them being in there.

But then Bel walked over with an equally logical alternative before walking into the cave and somehow the girl’s heart sank.

”Right. Yeah. Could just rip them open with your hands.” So....not that relevant standing out here afterall. The Ravenclaw did a small, one shouldered shrug. ”It’s fine. I’ll keep cutting since I’m out here and can’t hurt the flying foxes anyway,” Not that she would’ve. By this point, she couldn’t make a mistake with the severing charm even in her sleep. ”you guys can head in and get to winning over those bats with the fruits.”

At that, the Ravenclaw lifted the apple in her hand again, in the vain hope of luring anything out of the cave from this distance. Much like the other times, it didn’t work but she wouldn’t stop on that account. Nope. Just gonna stand here and pretend she actually believed she was achieving something from her spot at the entrance.

Again, she considered casting but didn’t want the Professor blowing it out of proportion with grand ideas of her somehow harming a student in the process. Sometimes his imagination could be more active than hers when it came to what ifs—which said a lot.

At this rate, she wouldn’t need to be cutting anything else. It was proving impossible to get rid of what she’d already cut.

Ripper. Heh. It was refreshing hearing Bel talk too.

Shrugging to Natalie as Jessa essentially dismissed them, he plucked a piece of fruit and dug his fingers into it to tear off a piece - just as Professor Wayland came over to talk with Jessa. "PROFESSOR! CANIHELPWITHTHEBATSTOO?!" he squeaked, half inserting himself into their conversation but trying to be kiiiiiiiinda discrete about it. Ish.

It was HARD not to let his brow knot as he listened...though he was TRYING not to because there was a task to be done and BATS to interact with and sldjfdslfsdjfs. "Let's go," he whispered, giving Natalie's hand a tug and heading inside the cave with his hands cooooooovered in fruit juice already. Juice that trickled down his arm as he raised it above his head as they walked into the cave after Bel.

"This spot looks good," he whispered as he slipped his hand out of Natalie's and lifted BOTH his up in the air, palms towards the roof of the cave to wait for some of the bats to come swooping in with their enticing fruit. Though he did squish things up a bit more to, you know, make the smell all potent and such. "Psssssst...Amanda," Derf hissed, nodding his head towards the first year. "Join us?"

The more fruit smell in one place the better, you know? And there were already a few bats swooping close to him and Natalie as was.


Well, Jessa clearly wasn't going to go into the cave and while Natalie WAS very curious, she wasn't going to push her and try to find out just yet. She'd let her chill. Also, she didn't want to get in trouble by the Professor for not doing the activity. Speaking of, the professor was now coming over... and talking to Jessa. Natalie stepped away with Derf as the professor started talking and tried not to eavesdop.... as Derf was.

But then he got scolded, which seemed RATHER harsh, since he was only trying to HELP take care of the bats, not pry into Jessa's problem with caves.

Even so, Natalie kept quiet... and then held Derf's hand (which made her a little asdkfjsf) as he tugged her back into the cave. And honestly, her hands were all sticky with fruit juice too, so she didn't notice his sticky fingers. She smiled a liiiiittle as she stopped inside the cave and let her hand go. Halfheartedly raising her hand up, Natalie squealed in terror and delight when a furry little bat swooped down and swiped the fruit right out of her hand!

"DIDYOUSEETHAT?!" She WHISPER!SHOUTED to Derf. It had come and gone so quick that she didn't have time to be grossed out!

Oh, wait -- class was over already? Darn. Her hands were all STICKY.
