Matt returned her kiss, but continued to lean against the wall. It was too nice an evening, even if the fall air was chilly. He waited around a while longer, watching the stars flicker on, then sighed, heading inside to find his brother. It didn't take much searching before he spotted him in the great hall, chatting with Rose. Well well, seems that I don't need to do as much as I thought I did. He thought, watching from across the enterance way, away from Victorie. He caught her eye and nodded towards the pair in a 'see that?' kind of way. Then the pair left the hall, Kyle heading towards him with a smile lingering on his lips. "I saw that. What's going on?" He said, clapping his brother on the back. "Yeah... Later." Kyle replied, watching her walk away. He took a deep breath, trying to guage weather or not that had just happened. Shaking his head with a smile, he left not long after she did, seeing Matt waiting. "Nothing." He said, still dazed. "I asked her if she'd seen you anywhere. She said no. And when I walked away to find you, she called me back, and asked me to show her the forrest sometime." He explained, more in disbelief then anything, as the pair made their way back to the dungeons. "She returned my sketck book earlier and we got to talking a little, and somehow the forrest came up. She said she'd never been in there, and I told her it was the most beautiful place around school grounds. And now she wants me to take her there." He laughed to himself, running a hang through his blond hair. Matt nodded, smiling happily. "Good for you, mate." He said, opening the door for him. "We're still on for tonight though, right? That's firewhisky is calling our names man..." He gave a devilish grin and flopped into an overstuffed couch, startling a few thrid year girls who giggled, and clumped together. He heard his name, and Victorie's mentioned through their frantic chatter. "If you say no, I'll be very dissapointed." Kyle laughed, and picked his guitar up from the stand by the fire place. "You know I'm always down for a drink." He said, starting to play something he had stuck in his head. Matt nodded and picked his up as well, joining in the spontaneous jamming.
