[The difference isn't immediately obvious. It's only when Lyrl starts puffing up the stairs that anything seems wrong. Normally Lyrl makes a habit of using the stairs as a playground, jumping from banister to banister whenever he hasn't got books to carry. Now just the effort of climbing seems to tire him.

This is a Lyrl who didn't spend all his life in hiding in the woods, but spent it behind a desk at Hogwarts instead. And he's terribly out of shape!]

[Hi Lyrl, don't mind a Molly just...staring at you]

Um...do you need some help?

[greenteengenius]

[Lyrl still has his pride, so of course he just huffs at the offer.]

You can find my wand. I dropped it and now I have all these miserable tomes to carry.

[And he would kind of like to sit down because the fact that you have to climb up to get down in certain parts of the castle is just ridiculous.]

[With that said, Molly goes off to look for his wand around the area. Still, all those things he had to carry...]

You know, I wouldn't mind carrying those tomes for you. They seem a little heavy and it make things a lot easier.

[greenteengenius]

I'll be fine. I'm just not used to having to actually carry them.

[Or do much else but sit in the library, really.]

[catblog]

But they seems rather heavy though. Are you sure about that?

[Stop being stubborn, Lyrl]
