Picking a pink ball up, weighing it in her hands and looking at the bowling lane. "Go ahead and roll first Kartik so I can watch. I've never rolled a bowling ball, is there something to look out for?" It wasn't like in gobstones right where you get sprayed with goo?

Blushing red Rose, murmured "Sorry, I keep thinking you're in the same year as me, but you're a year above me so you just had regular exams." Thinking about her potions OWL that still bugged her Rose nodded, but said still in defense of professor Adara "The prof had us seated well apart nobody could have predicted that cauldron's big explosion. It sent potion flying across the whole hall. Even prof Adara got some of it sparyed on her papers and she was sitting well away." It was a small consolation that she hadn't been the only student affected. Stepping up to their lane with her ball, Rose asked over her shoulder to Kartik "So I just roll the ball with some speed, and see if it hits any targets."
"Let's just say that games have been barred in the Joshi household for some time." It was a rather shame because he did enjoy those game nights, but he supposed until him and his sister learned how to play responsibly, it was for the best. He observed her taking a pink bowling bowl, perplexed how she admitted to never having bowled before? Yet she suggested the place? Interesting, which meant she was a fan of the new. "It might feel a little heavy but shouldn't be intolerable. You should be able to comfortably lift it with one hand. Your aim is to get as many of the pins down with one go as possible, you get two rolls per round before the pins reset...Ladies first"

He shook his head, non-fussed. "No worries. But that sounds like it might have been quite the feat, honestly to cause an explosion to affect the whole laboratory. I'm actually impressed with that." It was true. To be able to craft a potion and then have it create a large enough explosion was impressive even if not the intended outcome.

He nodded at her, but time seemed to pass effortlessly when he was around her. She might not have been his original pick based on a checklist but he was aware how quickly time ticked by and that in itself was something to give Kartik pause and reconsider. "Well this was fun. I'm not sure how much more free time i have for the summer, but if i don't see you... i guess, i'll see you at the feast."
