SWIMMINGGEDDON.

[wwistful]

WHO: Murdoc Donoghue and YOU
TONE: Fun, WHIMSICAL, horrifying
RATING: PG-13 and onward
WHEN: September 7th
WHERE:  The Lake.
WHAT:  After this Murdoc realised the children (and staff) of Hogwarts were in dire need of swimming lessons.
STATUS: Ongoing

[GATHER AROUND CHILDREN it's a warm summer day and the lake is perfect for diving into your sudden but inevitable deaths. You should all be dressed in your swimming trunks (which you clearly have don't even lie) because Murdoc sure is. He's determined to conduct this in the best manner he can, though he wasn't quite expecting the turn out to be so large. People who can swim are welcome to become his assistants because he could probably use the help.]

[He pulls back slightly and peers at her for a moment before asking,]

Would you prefer to speak in Japanese?

[remembertheroses]

[As tempting as it is, Ib shakes her head.]

Thank you, but no. If I do not practise, I will not get any better.

[doctorkishitani]

I'm sorry. You just seemed rather ill at ease, so I thought I would ask. But you're absolutely right. In fact, I admire your work ethic, Amano... san?

[Was that the right honorific?]

[remembertheroses]

[It was. Ib just gives him a shy smile.]

Thank you for caring Kishitani-senpai. I am glad. It is not my English, but...my art still requires work. I do not want to show you bad and unfinished art.

[doctorkishitani]

[She doesn't seem upset this time, so he's just going to assume that he got it right and smile right back at her.]

You're very welcome!

[At the mention of the art, he tilts his head, leaning in once again because it's right there, but he's not allowed to see it.]

May I see it when you've finished?

[remembertheroses]

[No he's not allowed at all.]

...ok. I will let you know over the journals.

[doctorkishitani]

You will?

[He immediately beams at that.]

Thank-you! I'll look forward to seeing it!

[Shinra's enthusiasm surprises and causes her cheeks to blush. Not many older teens have stopped and commented on her drawing before. And Shinra remembered her name too. He seemed like a really nice person.

He's really cool. So cool that the only thing Ib could do now was nod with her cheeks all flushed.]
