A kid who had DEFINITELY heard her blustery speech at the start of this school year. In the common room, y'know? Remember common rooms? Gryffindor had a pretty swell room. Lotta couches and chairs, lotta cushions, lotta squishy substances to jump on and stand on and make speeches from.... yeah.

"Right." She eyed the boy again. Was he even Muggleborn? Bernie was pretty sure he was not. He'd never had a broom yanked out of his hand because of his blood status. In fact, she was pretty sure he wasn't even assigned to Room with her.

She paused as she eyed the kid, not noticing (naturally) anything Upstead and Schmoe were doing over yonder. But if she had noticed, she might have been 50% amused and 50% perturbed that Nem was encroaching on her role as OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL MUGGLE STUDIES TEACHING ASSISTANT.

Back to Apollo. "Don't think we are the same at all, Stark," she continued with another sinus-induced sniffle. "I'm sixteen and you're eleven." MAYBE twelve, but who cared. And yes, this was how she was choosing to interpret his innocuous words of comfort. "I'm Muggleborn. I'm trash. YOU'RE just being nice." And she wasn't having it; she was simply too caught up in the Sads to even care what was going on in their shared environment. "So why don't you just leave me alone, then? Can't even get ANY bloody alone time in Room, much less out here in Field, and you know what----"

Well, she'd come to a conclusion. Bernie may as well just go grab her alone time for herself. She stood up to leave in a strop, to make a DRAMATIC exit from Apollo, but instead of managing to make it very far, she...... fell. Dramatically. A bit ol' classic slip-n-slide of a fall, losing control of her legs and bumping her head on the now-icy ground and starting a tailspin right toward....

Atlas Flamsteed? Was he pretending to be a mermaid or a fisherman or something? Why the heck else did he have a net? Either way, she was spinning toward him now like a well-greased bowling ball on its way to make a spare.

To be frank, Apollo hadn't been sure what he had been expecting of his older housemate when he decided to join her on the ground. Maybe that she'd protect him, which was weird considering he technically had the higher ground based on blood. Her sadness though made him and his heart ache and he just wanted to offer some sort of advice. He followed her gaze over to Schmoe and Nemesis, before gazing back to Bernedette.

"I don't think you're trash." Apollo said quietly. "Sure, you're older than me so we're different in age, but we were both accepted to attend Hogwarts. We were both sorted into Gryffindor. Maybe I am JUST being nice, but you looked like you needed it. I ...." Ugh, what could he say? She wouldn't believe him and she wanted to be alone!?! Oh.

He swallowed, content to just let her go, when she started slipping toward his dormmate. "AR--Atlas!" He called, to the boy in hopes to get him to avoid a collision, hoping it was him not his brother, but also as he called, he made the mistake of standing up, which meant on the slippery ground, he too found himself slip back down and spinning down on the ice right after the older girl. Curse his small mass for making him slide quickly.
