"You know I still think you should have opted for something bigger - something that wouldn't be so easily stepped on" The blonde was only teasing but he was ready to receive another shove - that was however before someone interrupted them.
Oh? Atlas already had friends???
"Helloo" he greeted the boy with a wide smile before loooking over to the OTHER girl who had stepped in, "there is TOO much room, if you ask me - come on in" The more the merrier, he always said. "I hope you are not afraid of creepy tarantulas though" FAIR WARNING. Also how did you spell tarantulas? It sounded as complicated as it looked. Quote:

Plus during the walking he would release enough endorphins to not feel this burst of pettiness anymore so...it would just be a waste of effort. Much easier to shove now.
Which he did, clumsily, while he was on his knees.
"Don't you dare." Atlas narrowed his eyes at Aries while reaching for the container of crickets to twist the cap off. "I'll squish your...something." He didn't know what the something was right NOW but he would squish it. Squish it real good. And since he was looking at his brother, the blonde also saw the compartment doorway become occupied by a familiar face. "Oh. Hi Quinn," he smiled a bit and then glanced at Aries. "Yeah. This is my brother I was telling you about."
Cap off the crickets, Atlas turned to dump them into the carrier for Araneus to have her late breakfast when he heard someone else step inside the compartment and of course Aries was welcoming whoever it was...so he cast a cursory glance over his shoulder at the girl and was about to speak when Aries went and insulted his familiar AGAIN.
Two strikes, dear brother. Two strikes.
"Creepy is a matter of perspective," he retorted, sounding entirely too much like his dad in the moment. "Don't force your opinion on others or your cabbage breath." Since Aries had been eating double servings of braised cabbage since their wand fitting. So HA! Although...cabbage was one of those vegetables to cause excess gas...so...maybe no ha for anyone.
His attention turned back to Quinn again. "If you want to move compartments you can," he offered while hoping back up to stand and setting Araneus' carrier on the seat nestled in to the corner up against the wall and himself plopping down beside it. Quote:

I kind of expected him to be older than us, but I guess that just means we'll be seeing each other more often." He smiled at Aries. Then, when the two started insulting each other, he got a grasp on what their relationship was like. He'd seen this kind of treatment between boys at his school—jests and insults in the name of fun, but it didn't feel so fun to Quinn. It felt like there was truth there, sometimes.
He tried to take a peek at what Atlas was doing on the floor, and then got a better look than he was hoping for. A bright blue tarantula? Quinn had no intention of getting closer to that thing than he had to. And then to go and feed it crickets out in the open? Yuck. "Sorry, Atlas, I think I have to agree with Aries. That's creepy." He shivered, thinking of it crawling up his arm onto his face.
Quinn frowned with the side of his mouth. "I would, but there's this really nice girl, Eden, sitting in the compartment with me, and she's new to the whole magic thing, too, and I would feel bad leaving her. Plus, you have a tarantula in here." Mamie's eyebrows raised at the greeting from one of the boys inside the compartment. This was certainly a friendly bunch. "Hello," she said brightly as she stepped fully into the compartment. Wait, did these two look alike? Siblings, maybe? Or cousins?
She paused at the mention of tarantulas, but still sat down in an empty seat that she hoped was out of the way. She had almost forgotten the ordeal with the Acromantulas in the forest last term, but now the thought of it made her shudder. "P-pr-probably, I can handle a t-tarantula," she said, trying to hide some discomfort at the thought. "As long as it doesn't try to eat me. We had a run-in with its big cousins in the Forest last year." Honestly, as long as it didn't talk, she would not be worried about a regular-sized spider.
"I'm Mamie, by the way," she volunteered. "Are you lot first years?" She thought maybe the one who wasn't actually sitting in this compartment could fetch his friend to join them, but she wasn't about to make anybody sit with a spider they were afraid of. |
