Seated on one of the couches in the Kashtta's lounge is Dave, who is currently reading up on some magical history.
The book on the table in front of him is really, really large, and extremely old.
Seated on the nearby couch is Gilderoy, who just can't seem to figure out how the remote works. He's familiar with television, of course, but as far as he'

He's almost starting to regret agreeing to this, except he likes Kenzie and learning would be really cool and. He really needs to stop pacing outside of the Kashtta and just go in already.
Leon wipes his palms on his shorts and then goes through the front door of the Kashtta, trying his best to smile and appear not completely nervous while not coming across as an overconfident jerk.
"Hi!" he says, then almost winces at how cheery he sounds. "I'm. Here."
Leon is not very good at conversations. Hence, he just states the obvious all the time. Yay?

"Leon, hey! You ready?" She shoves the bow and arrow set he'll be using at him, all smiles. It's definitely a beginner's set.

"I'm ready if you're ready," he flashes her a small grin. This is going to be fun, Leon. Seriously it is. And if it isn't, well. There's no point in being all uncomfortable about it. It's just going to make things more awkward. "To the park?"

"To the park!" CHAAAARGE.
Not really.
Kenzie leads the way, walking at a fairly relaxed pace. "So, what's up?"

Wand tucked safely behind her head for when she needs it, she places her box down on the floor in a corner and sits down.
And then she hears the sound of a peacock.
She blinks owlishly and turns her head to the young man sat on one or the sofas. "There's a peacock in the lounge," she says simply.

"I'm pretty sure he was a guy a few minutes ago, but I wasn't really paying attention."
Beat.
"Though that would probably explain the clothes."

Luna said she could talk to animals, right?
So he honks at her.
Luna! It's Professor Lockhart!

And she just stares. Then stares a little more.
"... Professor?" she tilts her head to the side, "Ohhh, so this is what the Rift did to you,"
She didn't think she would be able to talk to people as animals. Luna likes her Rift ability very much.

But she needs to talk to someone about it and Fletcher's probably one of the only people she has left she can trust. He'll understand, at least. Or so she hopes.
She meets Fletcher on the way as he's just managing to flee from the park.
"What happened?" she asks with a curious head tilt.

Except then he abruptly stops and looks at her.
And then he hugs her. Tightly.
"Welcome back, by the way."

And then the hug totally catches her off guard. Not that she doesn't like it, just that she doesn't really get them that often.
So she stands rather awkwardly in a rather lung crushing hold for a few moments before she finally hugs back.
"Ummm.. thanks.." she murmurs with a faint smile.

Eventually, Fletcher pulls away, looking slightly sheepish. "Right. We should go. D'you want to go anywhere specific, or...? In case you wanted to talk. In the interest of privacy and such, y'know."

Tonks stops when she sees the peacock. "Who the bloody hell let a peacock in the building?" She's not angry or annoyed, she's just surprised.

Really, really looks.
...her hair is lovely.
He walks over to her and squawks. Maybe she can fix this?

As it is, she does not, so all she'll hear are peacock noises.
Gilderoy shakes his wings at her.

Her mind immediately jumps to the worst conclusions and she has no idea what's going on with Kenzie or why they'd need to talk, but she figures if her assistance is actually needed it must be pressing.
Which is why she makes it to the Kashtta quickly and is still sort of breathless once she finds Kenzie.
"What's going on?"

"I have a stupid crush on some guy and I kind of asked him out on a date except he has no idea it's a date because I didn't ask so much as told him he had to take me out for lunch because he was going to die."
In other words, WHAT DO?

... Okay, and she was not expecting that. "Ah! I should've known. Do I know this guy? Who is it? Is he cute?" she asks, firing off question after question. She only stops long enough to say, "You probably want to leave out the... dying part next time."

WHAT IF ANNE DOES KNOW HIM?
Oh god. Kenzie is going to die of embarrassment right now.
"...his name is Xander."
