Oh. HER Husky. “Yeah, but how can I know what he’s doing? Like I said, I’m no dog stalker, Red” grinning now at yet another nickname for her.
Ewan listened carefully now, sensing that he was about to be filled in on exactly what she had omitted earlier. He knew the look would work. “Sure, I guess studying can keep you busy” which was true, even for him. He’d been studying for his and he wasn’t even due to sit them until the following year, if he ever came back. And then there was the flowers. This wasn’t all together surprising because he knew that she liked to do this. Something still told him she was not padding out the truth. Surrounding it with so much information, hoping that he wouldn’t notice the real problem. So, he just continued to listen, nodding his head as she continued to fill him in.
Lo and behold, the real crux came eventually. “So, you still haven’t managed to get on a broom, huh?” his eyes lingering on hers for a moment. “Have you tried going up with someone? Maybe Stefan?” he would have put his own name forward but he wasn’t the best at flying so that wouldn’t exactly have been a reassurance for her. “Or maybe some type of cushioning charm below just in case you fall?” his mind now thinking of practical solutions to ease hers.
As for the baby. He had no time for that. It was fake. It wasn’t real. It just made no sense to him that someone could miss it. So, rather than sounding mean, he just simply nodded.
“I did notice the tattoo actually. So, what do you have now altogether exactly?” because he’d honestly forgotten.
There was a clear audible gasp from Rylee though her eyes showed she knew he was teasing and she wasn't offended.
"Is that so? And what in the name of Merlin would make you even remotely consider that?" She could let the jokes slide when it came to which house was better but now he was messing with her about Tink... a name HE had given her. She eyed him for a long moment before scuffing in response.
"Pan needs Tink. Without her he is nothing." So there. She could argue with him all day about this one.
"Obviously you would ask him when you visit." Seemed like simple reasoning right there. The new nickname didn't go unnoticed either.
Once her rambling had ceased, Rylee picked up the ball, tossing it once more for the other two dogs that were still wanting to play.
"Mm, it does." She nodded. Studying kept everyone busy lately. Blue-gray eyes flicked towards Ewan when no comment was made about the flowers or the LTA they had in Muggle Studies. As much as she missed having Serafina she was somewhat glad that she wasn't being questioned about it.
If he thought her biggest issue was getting back on broom, she was going to go with that. Her love of flying and Quidditch was a big part of who she was.
"No," she admitted meeting his eyes when her way. Rylee almost wanted to laugh. Almost. Ewan was only trying to help but even he should know that she tried everything.
"Yes." Not only Stefan either. Several of her friends had tried to help her.
"Cushioning charms, potions, lavender, Runes, different brooms. I've been using the RoR becase I can control things there." Yet nothing has worked. The fear was panic inducing and she couldn't handle it.
Now this was something she could talk about more easily with him. Tattoos.
"I have my flower and creature one that I got last year for my birthday." Which was on the inside of her right forearm and she LOVED it.
"My newest one..." which was also bigger as it covered more area.
" I just got not to long ago. It's a Lichtenberg figure... it um.. it takes that path of the marks I had from the accident." A permanent reminder for sure but one that gave her strength.
