Ah, well... You know. It's been... The usual. [And Maxim and Van... She sighs.] Not the best, really. I hope yours has been good, though?

[gemuetlichkeit]

_{[Oh, that's actually... kind of cute. A quick glance reveals what she's looking for so he reaches up and grabs the container for her.]}

Ah... here.

[gemuetlichkeit]

Was? Ach, nein. He would simply attempt to drag me everywhere and we would end up with much more than is necessary.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh! [Rapunzel looks down at the (familiar; why familiar...?) boy and smiles.] I do, actually. Would you like me to take you there?

[remembertheroses]

[A tiny smile appears as she nods again. The notepad was still halfway shoved into the bag; Ib moves to keep it properly while apologizing; she knows that some people don't like to be drawn.]

Please excuse me miss.

[Her English is slightly slow, and there's an Asian accent present.]

[luxextenebris]

[He notices the tone of the sigh and offers her a sympathetic smile.]

Axel's going to pick me up and we're going to apparate to Xion's place later. [He pauses a little.] Want to talk about whatever's bothering you over ice cream?

[sixbuckdropout]

_{[See, there was a reason he liked him.]}

Yeah, huge surprise ain't it. _{[He shoves his hands in his pockets, assuming a casual stance.]} It's been busy. Me and my little brother have been on the road a lot with our dad.

[syned_a_brik]

Oh-ho, he likes de schoppink und hyu do not! Hy see. Heh heh.

So! Vot iz ve doink now? [Guess what, Ludwig? An Oggie has joined your party!]

[luxextenebris]

Well yeah, obviously, but keeping it in the air is the key point.

Outside Ollivander's

[ Oh, it's a fifteen-year-old Masamune. That eyepatch really does make you look like a pirate, kid. Especially with the angry grumbling he's doing. His guardian (who looks kind of like a Yakuza... well, but in wizarding robes) looks like he has his hands full. ]

I know I already got one. But I need six! Tch! This is so lame. I'm missing like, two more...

[ Yes, he wants six wands. What of it? ]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Rapunzel turns and beams.]

John! Hey! How are you?

[accioleggings]

[+1 lost baby student.]

Hello, Dirk. Where's your uncle?

[remembertheroses]

[This boy is tall. Ludwig is practically looming over her, and his height and body stature does intimidate Ib a little. However, the container of supplies is happily accepted, and Ib bobs her head slightly at him.]

Thank you very much.

[His accent is different from the British ones she's hearing, yet familiar...she might've heard, or rather read, someone who had a similar accent over the journals.]

Are you German?

[Her own accent gives her away as Japanese; her English is slightly slow as well.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[She gives Roxas a pat on the arm.]

That'd be nice, Roxas. Thank you.

[sixbuckdropout]

Yeah, the kid had some shit luck. They couldn't do nothin' to repair it either, 'cause it was cursed off. It was his very first time touching a wand, too.

[syned_a_brik]

Do hyu play on brooms? Hy haf neffer heard of dis game before. How does it vork?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, it's fine. Really! But, um... Can I see?

[arachnoble]

If you get a rat, you might want to check if any of your roommates have cats. You wouldn't want your pet to get eaten, after all.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I am! [Rapunzel laughs happily and nods.] This is almost as good as being back at school, don't you think?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[He beams! You can't tell due to the shades, but he was actually starting to get scared, although he'd never admit it.]}

Yes, please.

[arachnoble]

Overcompensating?

[That's NOT HOW YOU TALK TO STUDENTS.....]

[luxextenebris]

Don't worry about it. It's my treat. I cashed in my Struggle winnings at Gringotts and have way too much to spend.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Aww, alright. [She offers her hand.] Come on... It's this way...

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, Roxas, congratulations! And that's so kind of you...

[luxextenebris]

[He shakes his head.]

It's a Muggle game. You use a bat, kind of like the ones Beaters use in Quidditch, and you scoop the ball up into the air and keep hitting it until you lose stamina or miss.
