[Thor notices the little boy as he bounds past him. His immediate reaction is to run after him while his brain catches up with his feet. Why is a child here? Why does he look like a jerk.]

Wait! Stop! [Thor calls after Lyrl, wanting to get a better look at him.]

[greenteengenius]

[IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHASE HIM HE WILL RUN FASTER although he's got smaller legs and runs out of steam eventually.

He pants for a moment and then tries to hide behind a suit of armor. Hey, it could work!]

[brothor]

[WHAT IS LOGIC. WHAT IS NOT CHASING THINGS THAT RUN. At least he's used to chasing Loki around, so he knows he'll wear out eventually. A child really shouldn't be alone in the castle, afterall. Thor can barely make it through the day without bumping into something.

When he does hide, Thor notices and steps closer, crouching on the ground in front of him and calling out in a friendly voice.]

Hellooooo. I can help yoooou!

[greenteengenius]

[Lyrl frowns at him from through the armor's legs. Thor might be a little too young to be a dark wizard, but it's not like he can get away.]

I woke up in this place, and my mother will be missing me.

[brothor]

[Thor tilts his head, trying to peer at the young boy and figure out who he is.]

Did your mother not leave you here? Is she a professor?

[greenteengenius]

[He's just a little blond boy, nothing strange here.]

Mother wouldn't leave me alone. She's a soldier.

[brothor]

Then perhaps there has been a mix up! I have not seen any sort of soldier. Only the old aurors who do not count anymore.

If you come out, I can help you find her!

[greenteengenius]

[THE MOST SUSPICIOUS OF LOOKS]

Who are you?

[brothor]

[A genuine smile!!!]

I am Thor! I am a fourth year and in Gryffindor and if were old enough I would surely be a prefect! You are in safe hands!

[greenteengenius]

[Lyrl doesn't know much about wizards, but he knows his mom would probably be in Gryffindor if she were a witch. So that's probably good right?]

Okay ... [He comes out slowly.] But I shall bite you if I must.

[brothor]

[It's good! It's great! Who better to be found by than a Gryffindor!!]

Excellent! [He holds his smile steady, trying not to laugh at the threat.] I shall try not to give you a reason. [He rises to his feet, holding out a hand on the offchance Lyrl might want to take it.] Shall we?

[greenteengenius]

[Lyrl eyes Thor's hand before very deliberately putting both of his own behind his back.]

Where are we going?

[brothor]

[Thor shrugs and lets his hands drop to his side. If the kid runs off, he'll just have to lure him back again.]

To find a professor so we may find your mother!
