With another shake of his head, Woodson offered LouAnn a polite smile, "I think this will do fine," he said, just wanting to get out of that horrible corridor. He didn't even want to think about how many people - dirty people - had brushed up against him.

Once again, he was expecting some ort of protest from Bastian and once again, his brother left him feeling surprised. "We're not used to travelling ... like this," Woodson explained, inclining towards LouAnn and lowering his tones as he watched in slight amusement, Sebastian enter the compartment.

Straightening, Woodson stepped back to allow LouAnn past first.

Always ladies first.

If it didn't, maybe they'd luck out and find another empty compartment, but she did have a sneaking suspicion they all looked the same. Lucky for her, she didn't even need to worry about that, for Sebastian had opened the door of the compartment and made his way inside. When Woodson remarked that this area was just fine, LouAnn glanced at him out the corner of her eye, smiled again, then followed his brother inside.

Woodson and Sebastian were mysterious, like puzzles just waiting to be figured out. Of all the friends she'd met in various places around the world, she'd never met anyone quite like the Whitcomb's. She wondered why they were so overly concerned with dirt, and why everyday things, like train compartments, were adequate to her yet so foreign to them. It didn't bother her. It just...intrigued her. "How are you used to traveling, then? I mean, I've just realized I don't know too much about you," she said to them. She hoped she wasn't offending them. They seemed so private and proper---people who might not appreciate questions being asked. "It's alright if you don't feel comfortable telling me, but...do you want a Jelly Slug?"

Sure, the question was a little abrupt, but she'd lost her nerve to ask about any additional details. She pulled open the bag of candy she had and held it open to the brothers. Surely they'd had candy before, right? I mean, every teenager liked Jelly Slugs...right? She pulled a napkin from her handbag and laid the bag of candy atop it on the seat next to her. If Woodson or Sebastian wanted any, they were more then free to get some. LouAnn knew they were verly cautious about things like that, though, and the last thing she wanted to do was offend her very first Hogwarts friend and his brother. "Do you think you'll enjoy Hogwarts any?" she asked.
Oh, had he walked in before LouAnn? Haha, he hadn't noticed. Actually, he had, of course, but all of that 'ladies first' theory that Woodson seemed to love had never gotten the best ouf of him. Didn't they want equal rights, anyway? So allowing them to walk by first then them simply because they were women was sexist too.

Oh yes, that theory fitted Sebastian just fine.

Getting a handkerchief from his pocket, he spread it on the seat next to the window and took a seat, hoping the piece of fabric would protect him a little bit against all of these germs and ... yuck.

Jelly Slugs?

"Why would anyone want to eat slugs?" Sebastian asked, for once genuinely baffled. Curiosity getting the best out of him, the boy watched LouAnn's actions closely, deciding that those weird things she had placed on a napkin were some kind of candy. Sebastian wasn't big on candy, which would clearly explain why he knew nothing of Jelly slugs.

Confused, he looked over at Woodson. Had his brother heard of them? Maybe taste them? They didn't look that good, honestly.
