She walked arm in arm with her eldest sister, Cella, eyes taking in every detail, though her thoughts (she couldn't lie) were lingering on the food and the menu they had passed. "One round or two?" She asked, glancing Cella's way. She knew her sister would insist on paying but she wasn't about to take advantage of that... much. "Should we get some food, too? Bowling uses lots of energy, you know? So, really, if you think about it, it would be the responsible thing to do." She grinned unapologetically. "I was thinking a mooncalf cheese and peperroni pizza, maybe some dragon cheese fries, and of course a drink." Her mouth was almost watering just thinking about it. "What about you?" She added, an almost afterthought.

The thirteen year old had insisted that they do something fun together to kick off the summer holidays. There were many reasons for this. One - she was going to miss Cella like crazy when she went back to Hogwarts for her third year and Cella was no longer there, having graduated and left her behind! How was she going to cope, not seeing her whenever she wanted? Who was going to proofread ~~and vastly improve~~ her schoolwork now? August? CAS? Merlin help her. That was not going to happen. Two - she was procrastinating doing the necessary practical things she needed to do during the summer holidays, such as restocking her parchment, ink and quill supply, along with so many potions ingredients it was impossible to remember all of them, so she would inevitably end up making multiple trips. Three - uhh... bowling was fun?

Need she say more?

Now, when did Rory get so tall? Of course, Cella knew the correct scientific explanation for it - it's called puberty! But while the eldest Archer was quite good at separating the factual from the emotional, she was certainly aware of that added layer of older sisterism where her siblings were concerned, and it was hard not to notice how much shorter the height difference between her and her second youngest sister was at this moment. She'll be thinking about the day when Rory drastically sprouts some more and, who knows, maybe she'll even be taller than everyone else in the family! Cella gave Rory a gentle playful hip bump as she guided them to the end of the queue for the counter. "Maybe one round for now, but I'm not opposed to a second if we've still got the energy and time for it... especially when I beat you," the fresh Hogwarts graduate beamed down at her sister cheekily at that. Hehehe!

But it's a joke, of course! Cella was the type to intentionally lose to her opponents when deemed fit. Ask any of the first years she 'competed' against in wizard's chess last term! They'll tell you just how terrible Cella was in board games! (She wasn't. That's the point.)

Ah, and yes, the teenage growth spurt always meant more food. Cella chuckled fondly. "We could split the pizza." Pizza was best made for sharing! She hoped it was big enough for them both. "And you can get the fries and a drink. I'm thinking of getting myself one of the fizzy sodas, too. We can order some more later if we're super hungry by then. How does that sound?" Nodding to herself in self-affirmation, she took a step forward as the line moved. Cella was also paying - she made that crystal clear - but she wasn't extravagant. On top of that, this was just one of her sibling dates, and Cella was thinking of paying for the rest of them, too. Indeed, she was yet to schedule solo days with Aslan, Astrid, Cas, and Gus before summer ended. Cella had a major case of Big Sisteritis, confirmed.
