"Why would you hope a crazy thing like that? Heels are WONDERFUL," she wondered aloud, more to herself than the Professor in particular. They really were. And even more so when one's mother disallows them until you're sixteen.
PFFFFFFF. DUMB. SO dumb.
She sat her pillow down by Jimmy, then sat down daintily on edge. Neptune arranged her skirt first, then her hair. She, of course, was a lady.
Neptune patted his shoulder, then gestured towards their work materials. Obviously they were going to work together. She'd be the boss, he'd do the work. "Tents are good," she commented. GIGGLE. Good for lots of fun things. If Jimmy hurried up and got theirs pitched.... then. Well. Fun could be had.
Jimmy glanced at Tuney when she patted his shoulder, still a little huffy but somewhat intrigued by the idea of putting up tents in a class on runes. Were they going to paint them after? cover the tents with runes to keep out the elements? Something, right? He eyed the materials for a bit and then levitated them over, not willing to get up and play fetch for Tuney.
Jimmy Wilkes did not play fetch for anyone.
"You're
going to help me." He told her, giving her a look. No chance he'd let her sit on her butt and make him do all the work. Not his style.

"Evening," She interuppted, placing her pillow next to his. Might as well. Least he was funny.
Wait.. make a camp!?
Erm..
She glanced at Jimmy.
"We are in Runes.. right?" Maybe she was suffering memory loss and had actually turned up to the Astronomy class. She could've sworn Professor Markovic took Runes.
Curiouser and curiouser. What was Hadley doing here!?!?!
Wow.. strange.
"Evening Professor.." The redhead mumbled curiously. Was this on purpose? Perhaps it was a double lesson. That was kinda cool. Wonder how you could incorporate Arithmancy and Runes.. together.
....
James grinned slowly. "Yeah. Runes." He cleared his throat and then didn't say anything else since Cammy and the professor were talking and of course Jimmy didn't much want to draw any extra attention to himself from the professor, who was already giving him speculative looks that James didn't much like the cut of.
He didn't miss Tuney's looks when Cammy sat down, and didn't comment on that either. It was almost a relief when Cam went off to help someone else, though James would hardly have minded sharing a tent with the red head.
He stood up and turned to Neptune.

She didn't add the DUUUUHHH for punctuation. But she did give the Professor an encouraging smile.
Anywho.
Some older girl was being friendly in Jim's direction. Typical, sure, he WAS so handsome. But surely she knew they - Neptune and Jimmy - were building a two person tent. 1. Neptune, 2. Jimmy. She sent Jimmy the get rid of her? look, but thankfully she wandered off on her own.
So. NOW. To tent building! Neptune hopped off her pillow and grabbed up a long stick-y looking thing. Looked like it would be good for hitting people with... or.... prodding. Neptune skipped back over to Jimmy and PRODDED him with the stick. "Jiiiiiiiim," whiiiiiiine, "build me a tent." And cue cutesy!pouts.
She put the stake in the ground with a big JAB, claiming their spot.
Jimmy folded his arms across his chest, expression growing belligerent.
"No."
Not a fan of whining, Neptune Bott.
"We'll build one
together, but I'm not bloody well doing it for you."
