here *Sven*
He chuckled as he shook his head.
"Maybe I'll do it some other time. When we have some private time."
Looking at the costume book, he startled slightly as he felt a wave of familiar magic close by. Looking around, he smelled the air slightly as his brow furrowed in confusion.
*William*
He raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?" he asked, looking at the blond curiously.
*Sven*
His brow still furrowed in confusion, he shivered slightly as he kept breathing the air in deeply through his nose.
"I don't know... Magic... Changeling magic. But not my kind... Makes me wanna hunt..." he said quietly.
*William*
He glanced around the shop curiously.
"Well, over there are Bastien and Andrzej - new students from Beauxbatons," he said quietly.
"But I don't know if they're.." he said curiously.
*Sven*
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath again, trying to smell something among all the people. Coughing, he gagged slightly as he shook his head and buried his face against Will's shoulder.
"Ugh, fuck. Whatever the hell that girl is wearing smells awful," he muttered, breathing in Will's scent to try and clear it out. "Where are the two new students?"
*William*
He leaned into Sven.
"The two long haired one's over there. The shorter one speaks better English. Name's Bastien, I think," he said quietly.
*Sven*
Turning away from Will, he sneezed before shaking his head slightly. Glancing around, he tilted his head slightly as he studied the two. His eyes narrowing a bit, he stepped away from Will.
"I don't know..." he said softly before prowling through the crowd towards the two boys.
*William*
"Sven, cool it, please," he said as he followed Sven, grabbing him by the arm and not wanting to cause a scene. Coming to closer to Andrzej and Bastien, he smiled.
"Er, Bastien, Andrzej, this is my.. friend Sven.." he said, smiling bashfully.
*Bastien*
Starting as a blond boy followed by Will snuck up on them, he looked warily between the two as he shrunk back, stepping behind Andrzej.
"H-hello S-s-s-sven... It is g-g-good t-to see you ag-gain, W-w-william..." he stuttered softly.
*Sven*
Breathing in again, he couldn't help but grin ferally at the scent. At Will's hand on his arm, he glanced over at Will and looked a bit sheepish. Clearing his throat, he held his hand out to Andrzej and Bastien.
"Er... Hi.. Sorry 'bout that. It's nice to meet ya two."
*Andrzej*
He shook the boy's hand and smiled.
"Hello," he said shyly.
*William*
He gripped Sven's hand in his, squeezing it gently.
"Sven's a good friend of mine. He was in the infirmary," he explained.
"Have you two chosen costumes yet?" he asked curiously.
*Bastien*
Biting his lip, he looked at Sven's hand warily. Stepping away from Andrzej slightly, he reached his hand out towards Sven's before he hesitated, shuddered slightly, and let his hand fall to his side. Shaking his head, he sighed as he focused on Will.
"No... We have not yet. We are looking though. Andrzej wants to be something colorful."
*William*
He glanced nervously between Sven and Bastien, knowing he was missing something.
"Something colorful, eh? What about a harlequinn? Or an Indian djeni? I saw some nice colorful costumes in some of the books," he said with a smile.
*Bastien*
He nodded slightly.
"Andrzej had things in books. Acrobats in bright costumes. He likes the idea if just so he can jump around and do flips on the dance floor. Have you chosen something to be for the masquerade?"
*Sven*
Shifting anxiously, he shook his head.
"Haven't seen anything that's struck my fancy. Will's thinking of a pirate though. Have ya thought 'bout going as some kind of animal?"
*Bastien*
He shook his head as he made a face and stepped slightly behind Andrzej again.
"No... I don't think I would like that..."
*William*
He glanced between Sven and Bastien curiously.
"Bastien? Are you alright?" he asked curiously.
*Andrzej*
He glanced at Bastien, stepping slightly in front of him to protect him.
<< What is wrong? Do you want to leave? >>
*Bastien*
Looking between all of them for a moment, he shrank back a little more before shaking his head.
"I am alright... I have just not been feeling good lately. It might be coming down with some sort of cold from this weather."
*William*
He nodded.
"It does take a bit of getting used to. Sven's been here a year and I don't think he's gotten used to the cold yet," he explained.
"Maybe you should be like the sun or the moon or something," he suggested.
"Or perhaps something from Le Morte D'Artur..." he suggested.
*Andrzej*
"That iz the one about Arthur and the knights, yes?" he asked.
"Bastien does like it.."
*Sven*
He rolled his eyes.
"Being in a desert is a hell of a lot better than being in this cold. And ya still haven't gotten used to the heat of Roswell."
*Bastien*
He nodded slightly, still not sure what to make of the blond boy before focusing on Will. Blushing slightly, he played with the bottom of his ponytail.
"I was actually thinking of going as a knight... If I can find a nice enough costume."
*William*
He nodded.
"Have you looked at the books?" he asked, raising his wand and accioing a book over, catching it in his hand.
"I think I saw some in here," he said, handing the book to Bastien.
*Bastien*
He nodded slightly before taking the catalog from Will.
"I looked at a few... Most of them seem too... well... too bright, though Andrzej says that it is just me..."
*William*
He looked between the two boys nervously. There was something going on that he couldn't quite place. Smiling at Andrzej and Bastien, he nodded towards the book and the shopkeeper.
"I'm sure she can alter the costumes to be how you want exactly - especially if it's just a matter of changing the colours," he said with a soft smile.
"But you must excuse us for the time being, we have errands to run," he said, bowing his head ever so slightly.
*Andrzej*
He nodded, looking through the book halfheartedly and standing somewhat in front of Bastien.
"Thank you. Ve see you later, then," he said. wishing his English was better.
*Bastien*
He nodded as he kept his shoulder pressed slightly against Andrzej for reassurance.
"Th-thank you for your help. We will see you back in Hufflepuff maybe," he said softly.
*Sven*
Nodding his head in farwell also, he fought the urge to taunt and harass the other boy.
"It was a pleasure meeting ya two. Have a good time looking for your costumes."
