This was going to be the last lesson that Kay would be holding outside since the cold weather was slated to to begin creeping in soon, given that November would be ending soon. Decembers in Scotland were not to be messed with in terms of the temperature. In any case, it was another sporting lesson, one which would require the students to be participating in physical activity. They would be kept extra warm by their own body heat. This part of the Ground had been transformed into a pitch with ‘tree stumps’ for seating purposes a small distance away (thanks to help from one Joshua Wishart). The setup should be nothing new to the students as previous lessons that term were taught in this setting by her. Close to her feet, in neat piles were gear for the topic they were to be covering that day: bats, pads, helmets, gloves, balls, wickets and the other necessary items.
Kay sat perched on one of the makeshift tree stumps, rummaging her purple satchel. “I know I put it in here,’’ she murmured to herself, her hand deep in the bag. But it was not there, the precious fountain pen that had been the last gift her father had given her. She let out a sigh of frustration but refused to admit defeat. A careful search of the satchel commenced again. “I don’t suppose you noticed a fountain pen fall out of my bag, did you, Adi?”
The young man to whom the question was directed looked to the Muggle Studies professor. “Nope, sorry, Ms. Stewart, but I didn’t.’’ He looked regretful as he bounced on his feet excitedly. It was great to be back at Hogwarts since he had left there ten terms ago. A lot had changed from then: he was now a father to a four year old boy and twin girls on the way; he co-owned a hippogriff and dragon reserve with his husband, Benny; played pro Gobstones for the Hereford Hippogriffs and coached the sport that was subject of the lesson. It was the reason Kaysha had brought him in- to assist with the finer aspects of the game.
What had not changed was Aditya Atreyu-Rehman’s energy level. He was pumped for this lesson to get started!
OOC: Hello, everyone! Welcome to our first OOC MS lesson! IC, this isn’t the first one, of course. In addition to Adi, we’ll have another guest dropping by so keep your eyes peeled We’ll commence the lesson in about 27 hours but in the meanwhile, post your charries gathering and interacting with Adi and Kay or reacting to the gears. <3Class has commenced!

Hanna was rugged up as she ventured out of the castle, towards the grounds. Being out here for their lessons meant that she got a feel of the weather as it cooled to winter. A beanie, gloves, and scarf on, as well as the set outfit for the lesson, kept her warm enough.
"Hello Professor," she greeted, joining her and a man she didn't know. She hoped he wasn't there to replace her or anything. "H-hello..." she greeted him. As she went to set her things up, she heard Professor Stewart mention a missing fountain pen. "A lot of things have been going missing this year. I wonder if your fountain pen is with them?"

What Abra wanted to know was why anyone would hold a lesson outside when they didn't even need to. He didn't care what anyone tried to tell him; it was freezing out here, and Abra was feeling it, regardless of how many warming charms he had on his clothes.
Grumbling internally, and sort of externally too, and also eternally, Abra made his way out to the ground where the Muggle Studies lesson was set to take place. He made sure to quit said grumbling before he got close to the professor and the unfamiliar guy beside her, and instead offered a strained smile. "Hello Professor Stewart, and, erm... hello..." He just about stopped the words 'other person' from passing his lips, feeling like that would be a tad impolite.
Coming to a halt, Abra took a seat on one of the tree stumps and eyed the equipment that had been set out. What was all THAT stuff for? Well, some kind of sport, obviously, but what a funny shaped bat that was, assuming that that was what it was.

Lucas didn't know why professors liked holding lessons outside. In the cold. Didn't they get cold too?? He certainly did and it was because of this that he was wrapped up in as much warm clothing as he could fit on his tiny little body.
But, that wasn't the only thing he didn't like about this lesson.
Approaching the spot with the tree trunks and the, uh, stranger, he finally spotted the items that were near Stewart's feet and....... he paused. Stopped. Right there. On the tracks. His eyes widened as he looked over all the items, making sure he wasn't dreaming this. No. No no no.
They were doing SPORTS?!
He..... uh, let out a small groan. Whether it was loud enough for people to hear or not, he didn't know. All he knew was that this looked a lot like physical activity and he..... wasn't happy. Sure, now he understood why this was outside and not inside but that didn't mean he had to be happy about it. It was cold! Didn't that make it worse?
.........
Right. Professor. "Uh, I mean, hey Professor. And, uh, hello? Hi." He gave the two of them a small smile - mostly for the Professor because he knew her - before going to sit on one of the tree stumps.

The good news was that the cold air felt good on the still-present rashy parts of Chloe's arms and neck (and elsewhere). The bad news was that the skin was under a few layers of clothing and there was some fabric chafe making her miserable. And itchy. And itchy and miserable.
She hugged herself (for warmth not to keep her hands busy) as she approached the Muggle Studies area. Oh, SPORTS. It would be good to be active and keep her mind off things. "Hello, Professor. Hello, professor's guest."
Malachi walked to his class, rubbing his arms as he goes. Today was the day, he was actually going to verbally greet his excitable profesor. As he walks closer he notices a different figure along with his teacher. He honestly loved sports even if he was extremely clumsy at times when nervous. He looked at his teacher and gives her a small smile before talking in a slightly quiet voice. "Morning Professor." As he finishes he turns to the other person and gives him a small smile too. "Good um morning sir." With that he turns and goes to the others.

Whether it was considered building up a tolerance or something else entirely, the trip out to the grounds for Muggle Studies wasn’t hard on Stasya at all. Considering she essentially had permanent (or at least regularly re-cast) warming charms on nearly all her clothing due to her habit of coming out to visit the barns nearly every day, sometimes more than once a day, the cooler weather didn’t bother her as much as she imagined it ought to. Maybe it was all psychological, as she also liked to pretend that her grandparents (and probably Professor Baldvinsson wherever he was now) would be proud of her for not letting something as silly as winter bother her.
The presence of a stranger had piqued her curiosity as she’d stopped not far from where Chloe was hugging herself, giving the head girl as well as the others who had arrived before her a smile before addressing the adults. That suggestion regarding the professor’s fountain pen was just as possible as anything else, too.
“Hello Professor Stewart, and…?” She had given them both a smile, but it was hard to know how to greet someone she didn’t know. Since she didn’t like non-personal greetings.

Maxie knew a lot about muggles for a pureblood. A lot, a lot. enough to impress others if he ever opened his thin mouth. His parents owned muggle businesses but besides all that the Hufflepuff had a deep love and appreciation for the Muggle art form known as Cinema.
Movies. Movies were a huge part of his life and the boy was still very upset over the loss of his Netflix account. That really was his biggest complaint, the lack of wifi and the internet.
The rest? well, he was not a fan but he had (not that he would admit this to anyone) become used to all the weird ticks and tocks of this place.
Hefting his bookbag onto his shoulder, Maxie entered the classroom and nodded to Propfessor Kaysha - his usual greetingfor every professor - and took up a seat near the back.

Rubbing his shoulder Patrick walked out to muggle studies class. He wondered what exactly they would be doing that day. It was always something different and it was always something that he had some base knowledge about. Yet, walking out today he noticed that there were three poles on a field/pitch thing. Nothing looked like something he was familiar with.
Rubbing his shoulder again he began to join the others that had assembled for class. He realized he was earlier than he figured with the way his week has been going. He stopped ready to greet Professor Stewart when he noticed someone else standing with her. "Hello Professor. Hello Sir." He was ready to get class started.
It was cooooold and Eamon was here to complain about it. Internally. For the entire lesson.
Why did the professors insist on outdoor lessons? Of course it wasn't yet cold enough for frostbite but definitely a few notched above comfortable and this Hufflepuff was not for it. But that didn't matter. If they were outdoors there was probably good reason for it, yeah? Maybe? Professor Stewart wasn't crazy. He was sure of that. So as he trotted down to the space where class was supposed to be, he rubbed his arms in a good effort to keep warm.
Quickly, he found the space, tree stumps and all, noting a very unfamiliar face. Another good and proper adult. Mildly distracted by this newcomer as a red hint rose in his cheeks, he mumbled a "hello Professor," and quickly moved past the two, not even spotting the equipment laid out by her feet. There were other distractions here. Grabbing a spot near the center, he pulled his robes around him tighter and glanced around at everyone else that was already here.
Was it time to start yet? We're cold.

Thankfully as bundled up as Archer was, nobody could notice the itch marks she hadn't been able to slather potions on yet. So thanks for that, professor. Though she was still very much itchy, thanks for asking. And she was curious about the gear gathered. The bats were very much like beaters' bats, but everything else? She was totally clueless about, including the other adult.
"Hello, professor, unknown person," she greeted cheerfully. What? It seemed he was with the professor, so he had to be okay.....right?

Daisy made her way to the outdoors lesson, looking forward to what today's lesson entailed. She paused at the piles of sporting equipment and flashed Professor Stewart a knowing smile. "Hello, Professor Stewart." She then smiled at the man. "Hello, sir."
Daisy then made her way to one of the seats and sat down.

Muggle studies was THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORST.
But, okay, listen. Zoryn was never about to admit this out loud but she was relieved to have Stewart back. Even she was a step up from Ainsworth. And that was SAYING something. So fortunately for everyone, Zor had been much more pleasant in MS lessons this year. Apparently having a piece of stale bread as a teacher did a whole number to teach you gratitude. Sort of.
"Hi Professor," she greeted Stewart just as she walked in, before she noticed an unfamiliar face. "Uh, who are you?" she was VERY unimpressed. Gave him a look up and down. Before realizing what this must've been. "OOOOHHHH you must be Professor Stewarts boyfriend," which made this lesson MUCH more interesting. Instead of learning whatever it was they were about to learn, they could just vet the boyfriend instead!!!!!!
"Gotta say Professor, he's a little young for you...." But well done! Zoryn didn't think Stewart had it in her tbh.

The closer he got to the group gathered around Professor Stewart, the more of a FUNK Maxton felt himself getting into. Muttering and grumbling under his breath, he tugged his cloak tighter around him. This was silly. There was a perfectly good Muggle Studies classroom inside.
When he got close enough to spot the bats, balls and other stuff though.....?
Nope, he did not want to be here.
"Professor......" He stopped by the others and clutched at his stomach. "I - I think I ate something bad......" Ow. Poorly tummy. Let me go, please.

Kaira walked in and greeted her professor. 'Hello Professor Stewart,' she said, smiling politely. She liked Kaysha Stewart.
Hey, this man looked familiar. She was sure she HAD seen that face before. But WHERE? Kaira racked her brain before it finally came to her - at the Zoo! Scamander Zoo. 'Adi!!,' she exclaimed, immediately regretting...I mean..sorryy,Mr Rahman!!,' she greeted politely. 'We met at Scamader Zoo over Summer..I was with my sister Laila..,' she said.

Ash walked into the classroom and smiled at the Professor and said "Good Morning Professor Stewart" Ash looked over at the gears and was curious to know what they were for and what the lesson had to do with them
Jackson had absolutely no problem with Muggle Studies taking place outside from time to time and today he was happy to see the equipment laid out. "Oh, baseball? Nice!" he smiled. He liked baseball,. He had played it at leisure when he was younger, but after coming to Hogwarts he had fallen out of habit. Not many people played Muggle sports here. Jackson smiled as he approached his Head of House. "Hello Professor!" he greeted cheerily before his eyes landed on the guest. "And hello, Sir," he offered his hand to the man (Adi) before taking a seat on a stump. Jackson wondered what Professor Stewart had up her sleeve today.

Muggle Studies and another outdoor lesson. Rylee had grown somewhat used to this slightly new routine of having to make her way outside to the area that the lesson was being held. Honestly she welcomed the change despite the changing weather that was steadily growing colder.
Dressed in her winter robes and with a well placed heating charm cast upon herself, the fourth year joined everyone else taking note of all the different sports equipment right away. That and the newcomer that was standing beside their professor. "Hello, Professor Stewart," she smiled brightly in greeting. Shifting her gaze onto the man she didn't know she greeted him with a smile also. "Hello, Sir." Now who was he and what did he have to do with the lesson? He wasn't here to get rid of Stewart, was he? Rylee was going to be politely keeping an eye on him until she knew exactly why he was here.

Tina didn't necessarily need to take Muggle Studies. She already knew a lot about the non-wizarding world, having grown up with a non magique muggle mother. She was mostly here out of loyalty to Professor Stewart, one of the few people in this school she (sort of) trusted... that and Muggle Studies was one of the least chaotic classes at this school. No potential for spells gone wrong, no scary creatures, no senile professor... that was always nice! Add to that an outdooor lesson that didn't require uniforms, and Tina had a pretty good feeling about this class!
She came dressed for sport, just like the class notice said, wearing a turquoise jogging outfit, a black jacket. and plain black trainers. She jammed her hands into her jacket pockets for warmth as she made her way toward the group.... just in time to overhear part of the comments made by a girl (Zoryn) who arrived not long before she did, a girl Tina immediately recognized as that loudmouthed Gryffindor who started the lava craziness in transfiguration. She frowned, rolling her eyes. Could she just... not? This was shaping up to be a fun class without any added shenanigans from Lava Girl. Honestly, did she think it was her job to cause chaos in every class or did her mouth just operate faster than her brain? Oh, what she wouldn't give for a good silencing charm right about now!
Tina was so flustered that it took her a minute to docus on her surroundings. The first thing she noticed was the weird-looking bats; they almost looked like beater's bats. Did muggles have a sport similar to quidditch? She didn't really keep up with muggle sports, but it would be neat if they did! "Hello, Professor Stewart!" she greeted with an uncharacteristically bright smile... a smile that faded when she saw the man with the professor. "Hello..."
Who was this guy?! And what was he doing here? Granted, Tina had only been at Hogwarts for a few months, but she'd learned from a very reliable source that strangers showing up at the school usually meant trouble! Was this guy from the Board of Governors? Was he one of Julian Scrimgeour's cronies in disguise, come back to take the school? She wouldn't be surpised, after the polyjuice incident in charms... Tina kept her eyes on the professor and mystery guest as she took a seat on one of the tree stumps. Until she got some information about the guest, she wasn't going to let her guard down!

It was the last gift her father had ever given her and now it was lost. Kay tried not to feel too devastated, at least not at that moment. The kiddos were now assembling and the first was Hanna. “Ah, hello, Ms. Newton. I’ve heard about that.

Fortunately, it was a few weeks from December which meant that the worst of the cold was not upon them all as yet. “Hello, Mr. Botros,’’ was Kay’s reply with somewhat of a forced smile. That pen was still on her mind; it was one of her most precious belongings. She completely missed the looks the Lion was giving the equipment and gear.

What was that? Kaysha tilted her head in the direction of the low sound to see one Lucas Dakest. “Hello, Mr. Dakest. What that you making that…’’ She paused to think of how to describe it. “Groan?’’ It could have been because from what she recalled from terms ago, the boy wasn’t fond of sports. It was her hope that one day this might change.

The weather affected everyone differently, it seemed. Whereas some, including herself, didn’t seem that bothered, some were. It was certainly a good thing this was the last lesson for this year to be held outdoors. “Mr. Macnair, hello.’’ The red cheeks weren’t unnoticed. Physical activity would help him warm up, yes?

That smile faded as quickly as it came so now the woman was peering sternly at the Lion. “Manners, please.

Maxton received a concerned gaze. “Is it bad, Mr. Carden?’’ Surely it couldn’t have been because Maxton had made it all the way out here when he could have just skipped the lesson altogether… “Have a seat and we’ll see it it gets worst.’’
SPOILER!!: Kaira! <3

Hey, this man looked familiar. She was sure she HAD seen that face before. But WHERE? Kaira racked her brain before it finally came to her - at the Zoo! Scamander Zoo. 'Adi!!,' she exclaimed, immediately regretting...I mean..sorryy,Mr Rahman!!,' she greeted politely. 'We met at Scamader Zoo over Summer..I was with my sister Laila..,' she said.
“Hello, Ms. Parker.’’ Kay’s mind was once again on her missing pen. Her precious pen… Oh! Kaira knew Adi? This was news to her.
SPOILER!!: Ashleigh- Marie! <3

“Good morning to you as well, Ms. Ashby,’’ Kay responded warmly. “Have a seat.’’ Help he find her pen possibly. Maybe it had fallen in the vicinity in which she stood? The woman moved away from the tree stump and started to look, her eyes focused on the ground.
SPOILER!!: Jughead Jones! I mean Jackson! <3

"Hello Professor!" he greeted cheerily before his eyes landed on the guest. "And hello, Sir," he offered his hand to the man (Adi) before taking a seat on a stump. Jackson wondered what Professor Stewart had up her sleeve today.
Kay paused from her scan of the ground to grin. “Not quite, Mr. Thomas, but you’ll find out what it was soon enough.’’
SPOILER!!: Rylee! <3

Dressed in her winter robes and with a well placed heating charm cast upon herself, the fourth year joined everyone else taking note of all the different sports equipment right away. That and the newcomer that was standing beside their professor. "Hello, Professor Stewart," she smiled brightly in greeting. Shifting her gaze onto the man she didn't know she greeted him with a smile also. "Hello, Sir." Now who was he and what did he have to do with the lesson? He wasn't here to get rid of Stewart, was he? Rylee was going to be politely keeping an eye on him until she knew exactly why he was here.
“Hello, Ms. Prichard.’’ Kay gave up looking for the pen so that she was able to give Rylee her attention. “Have a seat, we’ll get started in a moment.’’
SPOILER!!: Tina! <3

She was mostly here out of loyalty to Professor Stewart, one of the few people in this school she (sort of) trusted... that and Muggle Studies was one of the least chaotic classes at this school. No potential for spells gone wrong, no scary creatures, no senile professor... that was always nice! Add to that an outdooor lesson that didn't require uniforms, and Tina had a pretty good feeling about this class!
She came dressed for sport, just like the class notice said, wearing a turquoise jogging outfit, a black jacket. and plain black trainers. She jammed her hands into her jacket pockets for warmth as she made her way toward the group.... just in time to overhear part of the comments made by a girl (Zoryn) who arrived not long before she did, a girl Tina immediately recognized as that loudmouthed Gryffindor who started the lava craziness in transfiguration. She frowned, rolling her eyes. Could she just... not? This was shaping up to be a fun class without any added shenanigans from Lava Girl. Honestly, did she think it was her job to cause chaos in every class or did her mouth just operate faster than her brain? Oh, what she wouldn't give for a good silencing charm right about now!
Tina was so flustered that it took her a minute to docus on her surroundings. The first thing she noticed was the weird-looking bats; they almost looked like beater's bats. Did muggles have a sport similar to quidditch? She didn't really keep up with muggle sports, but it would be neat if they did! "Hello, Professor Stewart!" she greeted with an uncharacteristically bright smile... a smile that faded when she saw the man with the professor. "Hello..."
Who was this guy?! And what was he doing here? Granted, Tina had only been at Hogwarts for a few months, but she'd learned from a very reliable source that strangers showing up at the school usually meant trouble! Was this guy from the Board of Governors? Was he one of Julian Scrimgeour's cronies in disguise, come back to take the school? She wouldn't be surpised, after the polyjuice incident in charms... Tina kept her eyes on the professor and mystery guest as she took a seat on one of the tree stumps. Until she got some information about the guest, she wasn't going to let her guard down!
“Hello, good morning, Ms. Dantes.’’ Kaysha smiled. “Are you looking forward to the lesson?’’ Tina was one of the kiddos that excelled at Muggle Studies.
How much longer?!
Adi could hardly wait to get started with this lesson. When Stewart had contacted him for help with it, he had immediately jumped at the opportunity (after ensuring that his schedule was free, of course. He was a SUPER busy guy). The two only knew each other from a particular Muggle sports club where Adi was one of the coaches. Adi shifted his eyes as movement caught his eyes. Awesome! The first student was here! And there was another… and another. It was time to get this thing started!
The guy responded to each one of the students as they rolled in. There were polite but bright greetings for Hanna, Abraham, Lucas, Chloe, Malachi, Patrick, Maxie, Eamon, Daisy, Ashleigh- Marie, Jackson (whose hand was shook in a strong grip), Rylee, Tina (even though he thought she was looking suspiciously at him.
For the ones that seemed to be asking his name like Stasya and Sterling he gave them the same reply. “The name’s Aditya Atreyu- Rehman.’’ Sometimes, there would be a bounce or two from him. It was exciting meeting all these youngsters. Not that he was old. Heh.
And who was this disrespectful person? Adi look at Zoryn up and down right back. “I suggest you be respectful to your professor,’’ he told her, just a hint of amusement in his otherwise serious voice. “Myself as well but just so you know, I’m happily married to my husband.’’ He absently twisted his wedding band as he thought of just how much some teens had an attitude.
A sick kid? He would let Stewart take care of that. In any case, there was a familiar face he knew. Adi grinned. “Hey, Kaira! I remember you. Your sister doing alright?’’
Ten AM meant it was time to get started. At this point, Kay was used to closing the Muggle Studies classroom door but since there was none here, she simply moved closer to the kiddos. “Welcome, everyone! Today we will be looking into Muggle sports and it is for this reason that we have a guest with us. As a matter of fact, there will be another dropping by soon. They will be both assisting today for the finer points of our topic. Adi? If you would be so kind as to introduce yourself?’’
Adi, who had been hovering away out of the spotlight, perked up then made his way closer to Stewart. “Hey again, everyone! I’m Aditya Atreyu-Rehman. I play Gobstones for the Hereford Hippogriffs and I co-own a Hippogriff and Dragon Reserve with my husband, Benjamin.’’ There were some more impressive stuff that he could toss in there like how he had been recruited for the Hereford team just as he was about to graduate from Hogwarts but this wasn’t the time for that. Unfortunately. “The sport that your professor has arranged to introduce you to, is one that I am very familiar with and currently coach.’’ Adi grinned around at them all. “Can’t wait to get into the sport with you guys.’’ Annnnd that was it from him for now.
“Thank you, Adi.’’ Kaysha indicated to the piles of gear before them and addressed the kiddos. “Based on your knowledge of sports, I’d like for each of you to tell me which sport you think we’ll be focused on today. We can safely eliminate baseball thanks to Mr. Thomas.’’ Surely the kiddos would have been reading their textbooks and some of them had been exposed to the sport at some point in time. If not, they could always make a guess. Right answers were not what she looked forward to at all times as most of them knew by now.
OOC: Hi, guys! Class has officially commenced from this point. Twenty four hours for this first question! Be creative if your charrie doesn't know the answer. Right or wrong answer, you still get the points!

Nettie's first guess had been baseball, because it was the first muggle sport that came to mind when she heard about bats. But it WASN'T baseball? But...what else used bats??
She tried to think about the muggle sports she'd seen on advertisements around town. She'd never really had a reason to remember them, because let's be honest - none of them held a candle to Quidditch.
Then, one that she'd totally forgotten about popped in to her head and she raised her hand. "Is it cricket?" she suggested.

Cameron might have stared at the young man for a brief moment longer than necessary after he'd entered the classroom. Mostly because he hadn't expected anyone there, you know. Other than Professor Stewart. No other reason. Absolutely not. Making sure to politely greet both of them, he'd then taken a seat near Zoryn and had waited for the lesson to start.
Why did Professor Stewart need people to help her today?
"........is it Marbles?" Cameron more asked than said after raising his hand to answer the professor's question. He wasn't entirely sure if that WAS in fact a sport but then again people considered chess to be a sport also so who knew. If they WERE learning about Marbles today, though, he would be kind of disappointed. There were way cooler Muggle sports. More active ones, too. And more interesting ones.
Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Daisy's hand immediately went up. "It is definitely cricket. I recognized the equipment as soon as I laid eyes upon them. It was my father's favourite sport. He was a Muggle after all."
She felt a little pang in her heart that she hadn't felt in a long time.

Torii hadn't gotten a chance to speak to the professor's assistant, so she gave him a smile and a nod as the lesson got underway. He was super cute, but apparently he was married, which meant he was off limits. Not only that, Torii was only fifteen, and Mr. Hotty was what? Thirty? Something like that...
The fourth year looked over the sporting equipment and narrowed her eyes. Huh? She hadn't remembered seeing many of those in America. Somebody had said marbles, and a few others had said cricket. Well, it was definitely not marbles. That much she knew. What in the name of Merlin was cricket? She had no idea, but she ended up raising her hand anyway.
"Well, I've lived in America all my life, and I honestly don't see this equipment much," she said. "Well...at all. I've only ever heard the name cricket, and I know it's a sport. I don't know much about it. I'm going to guess cricket, though, since it kind of makes sense for the equipment I've never seen to go along with the sport I know nothing about.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Dorian held his hands in his pockets as he stood will he looked at the assistant with mild interest. He hadn't seen the professor using an assistant before that was not from this school anymore and he wondered what would happen.
The equipment made no sense to him and he got even more confused when some of his classmates answers was that the game was called cricket and he showed his confusion but scratching the back of his neck.....
