Default The Wooden Bridge


Image Credit: Felixir

A covered bridge of questionable construction that connects the courtyard to the rest of the grounds, this rickety bridge has been damaged and repaired many times over, the most recent major incident being its total collapse during the battle at Hogwarts in 2104. The structure was ultimately brought down by fire and duel, an incident which was not without casualties.

Since then, the wooden bridge has been restored, and is back to its former... glory. Although it still looks like it may fall apart again and send anyone standing on it into the ravine below again, it probably won't. Not so soon, at any rate. Still, any exceptionally loud creaking should be reported to the groundskeeper, just in case.

This long and narrow bridge has a rich history attached to it, and deserves your respect. On your way between the grounds and the castle, why not stop and admire the view for a moment?

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

It was an early afternoon on a Saturday, and Meredith walked over the Grounds with her trusted camera in her hands. She raised the device to her face a few times before lowering it without taking a photo. The surrounding area of Hogwarts Castle was amazing. Too amazing. How was she supposed to depict what she saw with her own eyes in a photograph? This had been bothering her for quite some time. In her opinion, no matter what picture she took, it was never good enough. Something was missing.

The Gryffindor had been lost in thought and had not noticed that her feet had led her to the wooden bridge. But now that she stood in the middle of it, it sparked something inside of her. This bridge had a long history, but few people paid attention to it. If she could only find a way to photograph this magnificent structure... Meredith leaned against the wooden railing, trying to figure out how she could do this.

Finn was wandering the grounds, eyes fixed on a notepad in his hands. Every so often he paused, scribbled something new on it, and continued walking. He would not have noticed he'd reached a bridge except that the sounds of his own footprints on the soft path changed to the sounds of footsteps on wooden planks, and the sixth year paused. He looked up from his notepad and glanced about, taking in his surroundings.

Surroundings which included the bridge, and one of his housemates? He closed the distance between them in a few long paces and knocked on the railing to get her attention. "Do you need a model, Mere?" he joked.

She intended to capture an excellent picture from beneath the bridge looking up. It would look epic! however, she wasn't sure how to get down. The Gryffindor leaned over the railing to check the height. How did people walk down into the ravine in the first place? Had they used any sort of magic? Had they transformed themselves into a staircase?!

The unexpected knock on the wooden railing beside her caused her to turn her head in that direction. " Model?" she repeated, perplexed. Why would she want a...oh! "No... you're not what I'm looking for"
She frantically waved her hands, anxious that she had offended him."N-NOT that you're not good enough! I mean, you look good! I like your hair its the same as mine...i don't know why i said that but what i meant was that i don't really photograph people and you're not a structure...I believe" she looked at him as if he could Transfigure into a building at any time. Stranger things have happened at Hogwarts, OKAY?!

The fifth took a deep breath, aware that she was rambling, and it was then that she noticed something in his hand. "Do you keep a diary?" she asked and pointed at the notepad.

Even though he had offered, Finn decided he was relieved Mare hadn't wanted a model. He didn't know how to model. He could walk in a line, usually, but posing? That was beyond him. He smiled reassuringly and nodded, trying to take in all she was saying. He wasn't a structure...so she wanted to photograph a structure? He looked up at the castle, wondering if she'd been planning to photograph that, but was sidetracked by a question before he could ask his own.

"No?" he said, brows wrinkling momentarily before he saw what she was pointing at. He turned the notepad around so she could theoretically see it, though whether she could decipher his tiny scrawl was doubtful. "Lists," he explained, in case she indeed could not read his handwriting. This particular list was a list of the classes he was taking, ranked both in how much he enjoyed them, how good he was at them, and how much of either of those things he attributed to the professor. So...three of what turned out to be the same list.

"Were you going to photograph the castle?" he asked, returning his attention to her hobby. "If you don't do models."

The reassuring smile was enough to calm her down. Finn didn't appear to be the type to be offended by something like this, but she was relieved because she had been a little rude. Even if she hadn't intended it.

Meredith took a step closer to read it as he turned the notepad for her to see. She initially thought her vision was getting worse as she attempted to read the words, but she quickly realized...it wasn't her. "Man, your handwriting is terrible" She laughed. If he wrote like this on his papers, she felt terrible for the professors. "But why the lists?" That was a rather strange hobby, wasn't it? "Wait. are these classes?" she asked as she looked at it again. She could read 'Herbology' up there.

Meredith turned around to lean her elbows on the wooden railing and gazed up at the castle in the distance. "No" she replied when he asked if she wanted to photograph the castle. "I've taken enough photos of the castle. I wanted to take a one of this bridge, but the perspective I want is from below" she said as she motioned her hand to the ravine below. "But I don't know how to get down there, and I'm not a good flyer."

She wished she could still transform into a ferret, she could have climbed down without any problem.

"It's not...it's...I can read it," Finn argued, pocketing his notepad where no one could read or fail to read it. The lists weren't meant to be shared, so he usually just wrote as quickly as he could to keep up with his thoughts. And that led to...a mostly indecipherable scrawl. Perfect for privacy, poor for proofreading. "Yes, I'm listing my favorite classes, trying to..." he frowned, gesturing as he tried to form the word like one would shape something out of clay. "It's clarifying. The lists. To...prioritize? Understand myself?" None of those explanations were exactly right, but together, he thought they got close to what the lists were for.

He peered over the edge of the bridge, letting out a flat whistle at the distance to the bottom of the ravine. "Muggles climb things like that," he said thoughtfully. "You could...parachute, or climb down the side?" He tapped a railing post with his foot, testing its sturdiness. "Or like a pulley system," he suggested. There were probably magical solutions to her problem other than flying, too, but the Muggle ones were what came to his mind.

"Not sure how you'd get back up, though. Maybe that's your real problem."

The problem with the approach to the Christmas season was that everyone was in full academic swing and the idea of socialising was not so high on the other students agenda as it was on Fynley’s. The boy wouldn’t class himself as dumb, if he really put his mind and effort into it he was sure that he would be able to at least pass the majority of his subjects. But his own internal embarrassment at how difficult he found it to read and study had meant that he never really tried. He found it easier to just seem thick and carefree than he did to admit it out loud to anyone.

His OWL’s were quickly approaching and yet here he was out on the Wooden Bridge, leaning against the railing and glancing out at the view across the spectacular grounds rather than cooped up in the Common Room pretending that he was taking all his reading in. The fifth year sighed audibly as he considered his next step. His parents would be incredibly disappointed in him if he were to fail his subjects but then again he felt like he was always a disappointment compared to his younger sister who despite not even being at secondary school yet could clearly do no wrong. If he were to choose a sporting career it would definitely make him happy but might lose the support of his academically driven parents who both held established careers in the Wizarding community.

It was a lot to ride on a fifteen year olds shoulders.

OWLs were a concept that waxed and waned with her thoughts with nearly the same consistency as the moon and tides. She harbored no feelings of resentment towards the pending examinations and understood, accepted, the importance of their inevitability and the necessity of study...though one may not conclude that about her were they to observe her studying habits. Her interests and focus was more difficult to maintain and in those quiet moments where she ought to dedicate to revision and looking over the copies of study materials her older brother had copied for herself, Yukie, and Michael (even though Michael was still at Illvermorny and examinations done differently) she found herself practicing her calligraphy strokes or reading for pleasure. Ironically, she had been offering more academic council to Brandon Fox than tending to her own. She was not sure when she had become his tutor, which is what Mercer had assured her she had become, but she had and as a result she had lightened the amount of salt she carried in her pockets.

Which was something she was doing now as she walked about the grounds with both hands clasped behind her back. She had been nestled into the Book Nook for a time, but the draft and aroma of fresh air urged her towards mobility and thus she had enchanted her book to float along with her as she strolled haphazardly about the castle and now about the grounds. With a soft wave of her finger, the page would turn and the only thing that distracted her was the adjustments her eyes required between sunlit areas and shadow. Something that became extreme as she stepped upon the wooden bridge. The gentle clunk of her chunky heel black ankle boots with lace accent around the top caused her to pause a moment until her book came properly back into focus and she tightened the black ribbon that held half of her hair up. Taking another step, her book floated back proportionately and with her focus solely on the pages and not any approaching obstacles she and the book naturally were unaware of the pending (soft) collision ahead with one of her peers. Book first, right against his cheek as he gazed off wistfully at the view from the bridge.

Had Fynley’s thoughts been focusing on his surroundings and not entirely engrossed in the view across the Hogwarts grounds coupled with the impending presence of OWL’s later in the year, he might’ve actually realised that a floating book was heading straight for his face. But alas, his thoughts were elsewhere and the book collided with his cheek. Thankfully the collision wasn’t aggressive and the fifth year didn’t feel the need to suddenly defend himself from attack but it did snap him straight back into reality and towards the source of the charm with a slight frown on his face.

The frown slowly dissipated however at the sight of his fellow fifth year who although he wasn’t well acquainted to, he had seen about the castle and in lessons. He was much better acquainted to her sister however who had been somewhat trying to help Fynn with his life achievements whatever they might be. “Someone’s distracted” he smiled softly choosing not to be annoyed by the interaction. It hadn’t seemed to be intentional and the sociable Slytherin didn’t feel the need to get into arguments should there be no real need to. Besides, a gnarly bruise on the cheek from the spine of the book might make him appear more interesting to his fellow students and improve his ‘street cred’ if he actually had any.

The majority of Fynley’s problems in education were associated with his apparent ‘dislike’ of reading. It was therefore ironic that any form of injury should come from a book rather than something more fitting like a Bludger.

There was a very disorienting disconnect between what she was seeing and what she was hear. Visually, at least initially as the book toppled to the ground due to her enchantment faltering, she thought she had happened upon Finn. However, the voice did not match that of Finn's at all - not unless the sixth year had, perhaps, drank a potion to alter his voice in the past 24 hours or so - and thus she gazed ahead at him with a subtle stunned sparkle to her deep hazel-green eyes until sight and sound came together and offered clarity. Not Finn but Fyn...ley.

"Quite the contrary," she replied coolly as she knelt down to pluck her book from the wooden panel it had tumbled down upon. "My attention was entirely captivated." It may have sounded as though she were offering him a bit of sass, perhaps even irritation that he had 'gotten in her way', but such sentiments were quite the opposite of the truth. Mitsuki was neither irritated nor feeling particularly sassy. Perhaps a little uncertain, if she were to specify any one feeling with regards to their current situation. Apprehension with the observation that he was already quite familiar with her sister and people, the majority, tended to gravitate more towards her and her more effervescent and robust personality. Still, she would consider herself a pleasant neutral currently.

Brushing a bit of dust and dirt off the cover, Mitsuki held the book against her stomach with both hands and tilted her head to the side while she observed him further.

However, the voice did not match that of Finn's at all - not unless the sixth year had, perhaps, drank a potion to alter his voice in the past 24 hours or so - and thus she gazed ahead at him with a subtle stunned sparkle to her deep hazel-green eyes until sight and sound came together and offered clarity. Not Finn but Fyn...ley.

"Quite the contrary," she replied coolly as she knelt down to pluck her book from the wooden panel it had tumbled down upon. "My attention was entirely captivated." It may have sounded as though she were offering him a bit of sass, perhaps even irritation that he had 'gotten in her way', but such sentiments were quite the opposite of the truth. Mitsuki was neither irritated nor feeling particularly sassy. Perhaps a little uncertain, if she were to specify any one feeling with regards to their current situation. Apprehension with the observation that he was already quite familiar with her sister and people, the majority, tended to gravitate more towards her and her more effervescent and robust personality. Still, she would consider herself a pleasant neutral currently.

Brushing a bit of dust and dirt off the cover, Mitsuki held the book against her stomach with both hands and tilted her head to the side while she observed him further.


Even if Mitsuki had not tried to intentionally sass back at Fynley, the Slytherin’s left eyebrow raised in response anyway. Not that he would ever take it to heart anyway, in fact he found it rather appealing. The corner of his lips curled up into a small smirk as he looked back at the Ravenclaw. “Maybe so but I’m sure my face wasn’t supposed to be in the path of your book.” he laughed. “Unless that was secretly your plan for an excuse to talk to me. In which case I’m flattered by the attention but you could just say hello and not beat me up with your novel”. Or whatever it was, they were all boring in his opinion.

Just as Fynn assumed that Mitsuki would continue on with her reading, she instead stood before him and observed. The fifth year would’ve played it cool and pretend that he didn’t notice but he was in a sociable mood and the company of another was entirely what he was craving rather than staring out into space and doing absolutely nothing worthwhile. “What?” he grinned turning back around to look at his yearmate and leaning back against the railing. “I know I’m handsome but believe me the view is better out there” he teased. Her sister had intentionally ignored any attempt that Fynley had made in teasing, perhaps Mitsuki might be a little more responsive?

The Ravenclaw certainly agreed with him on that point, there had never been the intention that her book would hit him specifically in the cheek. Him or anyone, for that matter. She quickly concluded that he was very presumptuous and in quite the curious way, which tickled her intrigue ever so slightly. "Do you always think that people require justification to speak to you?" she asked with slow tilt of her head to the other side. "Anthology," she corrected gently, her thumb brushing over the gold filigree calligraphy on the cover. Her fingers, unfortunately, covered the title and author but unless he understood kanji it was unlikely he would be able to read it. She also felt the need to point out that she had beaten no one with her book, but such a correction felt rather superfluous.

Accepting his invitation to enjoy the early afternoon view from the bridge, Mitsuki glided to his side and leaned her stomach against the railing while her left hand dropped to her side and fingers coiled around the spine of the book to hold it. It was nice, handsome as he would conclude, and made her yearn for her watercolor set that was currently resting on her bedside table. "I understand how such a spectacular view could distract someone from noticing the slow encroachment of another person," she noted quietly and with the faintest of upwards curls to her lips - she was certain she could mix her paints to mimic the very specific hue of Scottish afternoon sky.

Fynley was the type of person who would happily talk to anyone. Even the smaller kids amused him with their wild conversations although some of them did remind him of his younger sister who he was grateful to be apart from. He didn’t think anyone needed justification to talk to him but that didn’t stop him from continuing on. “I don’t know, others might be too intimidated by my presence that they feel they aren’t able to approach.” He did exude an air of self confidence even when it wasn’t always true. As for the correction of the type of book that she was reading, Fynley couldn’t think of anything worse. There were far too many words and hidden meanings and the fifteen year old was grateful that they weren’t made to study English Literature like they were at Muggle schools. The only book that could capture this boys imagination was a comic book full of pictures.

What was with these Rasting’s and completely ignoring any attempts that Fynley made towards them? His slight smirk didn’t falter however despite Mitsuki only commenting on the view and not on his statement about himself. Even confident Slytherins like Fynn needed confirmation every once in a while that he wasn’t bad looking. He did enjoy a challenge though and his fellow fifth years comment only egged him on further. “Hey, I was stood perfectly still and I was here first.” It therefore wasn’t his responsibility to move out of the way. “Some of us actually watch where we are walking.” He was only teasing however if his cheek did come up in a nice big bruise it would only be right that Mitsuki would have to accompany him to the hospital wing, right?

"And it is in those finite escapes that free will sought to bring us together."

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Perfect for privacy, poor for proofreading. "Yes, I'm listing my favorite classes, trying to..." he frowned, gesturing as he tried to form the word like one would shape something out of clay. "It's clarifying. The lists. To...prioritize? Understand myself?" None of those explanations were exactly right, but together, he thought they got close to what the lists were for.

He peered over the edge of the bridge, letting out a flat whistle at the distance to the bottom of the ravine. "Muggles climb things like that," he said thoughtfully. "You could...parachute, or climb down the side?" He tapped a railing post with his foot, testing its sturdiness. "Or like a pulley system," he suggested. There were probably magical solutions to her problem other than flying, too, but the Muggle ones were what came to his mind.

"Not sure how you'd get back up, though. Maybe that's your real problem."
Meredith thought that he could be a doctor with that handwriting. Wasn't that a running joke in the muggle world? that all doctors had terrible handwriting? He seemed embarrassed about it, so the younger Gryffindor didn't press on it further until he mentioned the lists himself.

"The lists would be useful for the upcoming job fair" she said as she brushed her red hair out of her face as the wind had picked up and reached into her jacket pocket for an elastic hairband. As she spoke, she pulled her hair into a quick ponytail. "Do you have any idea what you want to do after school?" Because she certainly did not.

She, too, looked down at the ravine and imagined a ball falling down below as Finn whistled low. "...Oh" she said sheepishly, scratching the back of her head as he told her what her real problem was. "I wasn't thinking that far ahead..." She was beginning to understand why she had been sorted in Gryffindor House. But, Finn was also a Gryffindor, though she guessed there had to be someone with common sense to keep them all safe, right? "Do you think Professor Paton will lend me a winged horse if I ask her?" How difficult could it possibly be to ride one??

Poor Fynley had certainly met his match when it came to the Rasting girls and their lack of acknowledgement when it came to his attempted charm. The Slytherin had always thought of himself a master of friendly teasing and it had certainly worked during his time at Ilvermorny. Perhaps Hogwarts students just took things to literally? As for self confidence, Fynn had the ability to appear confident in himself even when he wasn’t necessarily feeling it completely. “Well good for you!” he chuckled. It wasn’t like the fifteen year old was particularly intimidating with his friendly, casual nature and a permanent smile plastered on his face. “You’d have nothing to be intimidated by anyway,” he winked at her although that would probably go totally unnoticed too.

The way Mitsuki spoke was almost poetic and way beyond her years. Fynn, although arguably not dumb by any means, was not so eloquent when it came to the way he talked. He was after all a teenage boy full of teenage hormones and teenage thoughts and teenage-isms whose primary focus was on making friends and sailing through school with the least effort possible. Mitsuki, with her nose plastered in a book, clearly had far different priorities to himself. “Suuuure..” he grinned, not entirely sure what she was going on about but deciding to agree with it anyway. His Mum had always said to agree with a woman whether they were right or not . “Or it could’ve literally been by sheer coincidence and a very distracted bookworm” he chuckled.

"Yes," Finn agreed. Lists were always useful, and this list would hopefully follow that trend. "I...have no idea," he admitted, his shoulders sagging a bit. "I used to want to be a detective, like Sherlock Holmes, or maybe play football, but...I've outgrown that." He'd never been particularly good at football, anyway.

He squinted at Mer, then peered over the side of the bridge again. "Maybe?" He said, shrugging again. "That seems like the best option, anyway, if you can." She could even take her photography things with her on a winged horse. Much better than cliff jumping or rappelling down. "Do you think you'll be a photographer? After Hogwarts?"

Perhaps the most surprise part of that would be that Mitsuki and her sister shared a similar behavior.

Which was the precise reason why she would selectively acknowledge such sentiments. "I cannot say whether or not it is a good thing yet," she concluded with a slight pensive pursing of the lips. She hardly knew him so offering what some would dub the benefit of the doubt had yet to produce any conclusive results. "I simply prefer to draw my own conclusions from personal experience and observation upon getting to know someone better. The subject of such focus currently being yourself."

The wink did not go unnoticed, though she did specifically wonder whether or not something had gotten in his eye and she had even peered a little closer to inspect just in case. She had precured a rather effective method of removal and could assist. He seemed fine, however, if the grin and lack of subsequent blinking was any indication and therefore she need not fret nor retrieve her wand from her pocket. "Perhaps, anything is possible," she agreed with a small nod of the head. She decided to no longer fight which distraction caused the impact seeing as comparatively she had plenty of other space with which she could have been walking but happened to stride upon the wooden planks that lead her directly to him. "Curious...usually it is a bit of lint or leaf caught on the wind that guides me to random meetings." She paused to consider this a bit more and then glanced down at her book and feet. "Today it was my own feet and the works of Fukuda Chiyo-ni that lead me to you."

Very curious. She should have not been so hasty to close her book to see which haiku she had been reading.

"And you...seeking a quiet moment to admire the view?"

"And you...seeking a quiet moment to admire the view?"



Being compared to his sister sounded just about the worst thing imaginable right now. It wasn’t that his little sister was cruel or malicious or anything, in fact Fynley couldn’t exactly blame her for her behaviour for she was just a young child who wasn’t taught any better. It was his parents that the blame fell heavily on who spoiled her rotten and subjected her to an entitled attitude that Fynn just couldn’t gel with. At least Mitsuki’s sister was friendly and warm and had even offered to help Fynley train on the Quidditch pitch (even if he was subjected to a tickling match in order to surrender the Quaffle he was hogging.)

Did Mitsuki want to get to know him better? Because that could be arranged if she so wished. “I hope I’ve made a good impression so far then?” Y’know by just standing there and not getting annoyed by her book intrusion. Unfortunately the Slytherin did not speak in such an eloquent manner, in fact he had gained a weird concoction of British and American accents that made it hard to place where exactly the fifteen year old was from.

Books were not his forte. In fact reading at all was not a pleasurable activity and therefore Fynley’s knowledge on authors was just about extended to the most famous of them that pretty much anyone of his age would know. He would’ve replied sarcastically about how riveting that sounded but he knew that to others it truly was interesting and he had no intention of offending. “I’m afraid I have no idea who that is,” he answered. “But you were obviously very interested in it.” Too interested maybe. As for following a leaf or a piece of lint to a meeting? “I didn’t realise you were part cat” he chuckled. Chasing random objects through the wind did sound like a very feline thing to do.

“I hate being indoors” he answered briefly glancing back at the view before turning around to lean against the railings fully facing his companion. “I wanted to make the most of the decent weather before we are cooped up indoors for the winter. I heard someone say the view from up here was the best.” Whether that was true he hadn’t enough knowledge to make his mind up about yet but the fourth floor balcony was giving it a good run for its money.

There were two faces to each coin, even more so to stories and interpretations. Though through her observation when it was said that 'at least' one person was very warm and friendly, that would the situation be reversed the same could not be said. Thus it was that such comparisons and 'at least' approaches rendered a certain dreariness to her aurora for she was not labeled such things. It was for the best Mitsuki remain ignorant to such thoughts and interactions - she would simply close off as she had done with Luca and a small handful of others.

Her lips pursed again as she considered his question, though once again found her thoughts rather inconclusive. Offering a shrug in reply was not very personable, she had been informed, so she searched her thoughts a little bit more. "It is not unpleasant, Fynley," she nodded as she took her time speaking his name and enunciating each syllable. Not unpleasant at all with traces of citrus. A mix of citrus...yuzu and...something else.

Her eyes drifted away from her companion to the book in her hand and turned it over so it balanced upon her left hand. "Perfectly understandable, it is a niche author in a niche of written art," she explained. "Especially if you do not know how to read the Japanese language." Mitsuki had happened upon Chiyo-ni by the grace of her uncle, the headmaster at Himitsumahou, and had spent so many subsequent days in the library reading everything she could find and was now hoping to incorporate some of her favorite haiku into her performance calligraphy. "I could read some to you sometime if you are interested. I've been told that my voice can be soothing to listen to," she offered rather matter of factly. Part cat though? "I am not," she blinked several times. "Mother is British-Japanese and father is American, no cat."

She found that reasoning sound and understandable, particularly with the Slytherin common room being underwater and natural sunlight being a bit scarce. "It is quite nice," she agreed with a nod. And, though he did not ask for her opinion she decided to offer it anyway. "I prefer the view from Ravenclaw Tower. Or the battlements. A matter of preference of perspective."

Fynley would’ve been quite frankly offended if Mitsuki had outwardly admitted that his company was anything but pleasant. It was true that the Slytherin could be stubborn and playful and had a habit of teasing in what he would describe a flirtatious manner but other than to those that really got under his skin, Fynn was a pleasant guy to be around and he was proud of that fact. “Good. Let’s keep it at that.” As for the way she pronounced his name accentuating every syllable, his eyebrow raised just a fraction. “You can just call me Fynn or Fynny or.. whatever you want really.” Fynny was the popular choice amongst the ladies perhaps because it sounded cutesy.

An ungentlemanly snort escaped from the fifteen year olds nose at the thought that he might be able to read Japanese. If he has the patience he would’ve loved to have learned a different language to impress his peers. Alas, Fynley didn’t have the patience to read one page of a book let alone learn a whole new alphabet. “Unfortunately I can’t speak Japanese, or read it or write it either.” Could barely read or write English either. Sadly for Mitsuki, Fynley was likely to fall asleep if anyone were to read to him, not because he was bored but because his Mum would read to him when he was younger in order to get him to fall asleep. “I might doze off on you” he chuckled.

Did Mitsuki have to take everything so literally? “I meant the whole chasing a leaf thing— y’know what? Nevermind.” No point explaining it now the joke had evidently gone over the Ravenclaws head.

“Sadly the view isn’t so great from the Slytherin common room unless you’re really into your magical marine zoology.” Still pretty cool though.

"Fynn," she repeated decidedly while folding her hands across her stomach once again and pressing her book there as well. Too many 'y' sounds tended to make a word too sour. "I enjoy Fynn." Yuzu with honey, perhaps. It was a favorite warm drink of hers come winter. Perhaps the stars were aligning more than initially considered. How curious indeed.

She did not mind the snort nor was she particularly taken aback by it - Mercer made plenty of unusual noises - and instead smiled ever so slightly at his words. "I would have been surprised if you could," she nodded. The words could have been perceived as arrogant, but it was simply an observation she felt quite confident in making. "I would not mind if you did." Nor would it be the first time such a thing happened. Usually Finn would fall asleep at some point while she was reading, hence her voice being soothing.

Yes, yes she did Fynn. Welcome to your journey of dealing with Dawn Mitsuki Rasting. Disappointed she did not understand the point he had been wanting to make, she did not feel she ought to press the subject and ask him to elaborate. He seemed quite keen to move on. "And you are not interested in marine creatures?" she half asked half stated. "Since you prefer views above land."
