"Fehu and Naudiz? Sounds serious," Rylie said peeking her head around the trunk of the tree.

She hadn't meant to hear his comment, but she'd been reading on the other side, trying to escape the noise of the castle and the packed common room in Ravenclaw Tower. She'd thought for sure that someone would see the light shining from the tip of her wand, but apparently Keary had missed it in his... angst? She wasn't quite sure, but she was a great listener. Not that she thought Keary was much of a talker.

"I don't mean to bother you or anything, but... well, I've got plenty of warm words stored in this mind of mine somewhere. I'm sure they'd be willing to dance your way if you need them," she added with a small smile, not sure of how to approach him.

Though they were in the same year and the same house, she'd never really interacted with him much. A shame, really, as he was now Head Boy. He was bound to inspire a fictional character or two!

While Keary prided himself on being quite the serious, never-faultering sort, the second the voice chirped up from behind the tree, he jumped a good metre or ten.

Surely drawing out runes on tree trunks didn't make them come to life.

Surely.

However, his look back to the tree showed that he did, in fact, highly suspect the tree of communication, and he was considering taking off running at full-speed when he noticed his housemate standing behind it.

"...oh," he said quickly, then shoved hands in his pockets as he promptly attempted to regain his cool. "Runes," he explained quickly as he sort of.. fidgeted. "..sorry. Habitual. Regardless, I thank you, but I'm fine, actually. Disgusted with the frenzy about Malfoy if anything."

Rylie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the look on his face. It was obvious that she had frightened him somewhat, and she resisted the urge to giggle at his discomfort. She took a deep breath and nodded slowly as he stuttered through his response

Oh, finally someone he could reason with! He had looked all his life for an intelligent person that didn't make him want to completely scowl, and there she was, hiding behind trees and the like.

"Agreed," he replied. Funny thing about Keary was that no matter what he was saying, he always sounded uninterested. So, despite being very, very pleased with the conversation, he just sort of sounded like he had something better to do. He made a mental note to work on that. "Politians are that way, I suppose. If they did what they said they'd do, they'd never get anywhere. Disgusting prats."

At her joke about the tree, he froze, then slowly looked to her, brow arched. Oh, that was funny, but Keary wasn't the type to.. laugh, really. But the corner of his lap curled and he did this odd sort of cough thing, that was pretty close to a chuckle-cortle-laugh thing.
