Marcus was feeling good about himself and things in general for the most part although the idea of the World Cup tryouts were still bothering him because he hadn't decided if he was going to go out or not. He wasn't going to until he had a chance to fly on Saturday and now the bug had bit him again. The timing was right since Walter, the old man who was teaching him the tricks of the plumbing trade was an avid Quidditch fan and he'd encouraged Marcus to go out after Marcus had joined him this week. After all, it's what had brought them together and the hours seemed to pass quickly as they talked about Quidditch all day while they worked

It had been a wonderful day for Padma too. She was finally making progress in Dean's contracts, and she'd actually made time to go outside and walked around, which led to the new revelation that she needed landscaping done outside. Of course, she couldn't garden worth a damn, but she could learn.

She'd gone out with Marcus quite willingly today, having been looking forward to seeing him all day. Padma was starting to want that more an more, and it was scaring her a little, but only that.

When she saw the boy int he road, she frowned. She'd heard the wheeze before and knew what it meant. She let Marcus move forward but frowned at him. "Be nice, Marcus! He's having an asthma attack!" She moved forward, not entirely sure how to help. "He needs to calm down." She looked at him, do you have anything for it?" His inhaler didn't seem to help

Dennis saw two people approach and heard a deep voice ask a question. It reminded him of Muggle school when he'd have an attack and they wouldn't know what to do about, or with him.

"Sor" he took a shaky breath "sorry." And now he knew why it wasn't working yet, it was the wrong inhaler. Digging through the outer pocket, he found the Coricosteroid that he hadn't used since Luna had provided him with potions. Taking two quick bursts, and letting it start to work, he opened his eyes. He was still wheezy and would be for a few more moments but it would get better, not as fast as with the potions, but better. Though, he felt rude for ignoring the woman's question.

Opening his eyes he was confused for a second, what was Parvarti doing with this man. Then he remembered she had a twin.

"Sorry, it'll pass. Hope I didn't ruin your shoes with my water." He looked at the man again while trying ro do Yoga in his mind to calm his breathing, and realized it was the bloke from the Quidditch day.

"You're not bleeding? You're okay."

Marcus looked at Padma in confusion. While he'd taken care of Violet's sicknesses, bumps and bruises, this was a grown man and even if he was scrawny, he didn't know how to handle the situation. He was about to pound the man on th back when he took out another thing and shot it at himself. It seemed that it did the trick and Marcus relaxed when the man spoke after he looked around in confusion.

He was befuddled by the young man's statement before he looked down and smiled. "No, my shoes are fine. You okay?" Marcus did chuckle at his statement when he realized what he was talking about. He shook his head and gave him a faint smile. "I'm fine. One charm stopped all the bleeding although she wanted me to see a healer. I think scars make my face more interesting." He reached over and squeezed Padma's hand before he said, "My name is Marcus and this is Padma. Glad you seem better."

Dennis made sure to breathe slowly, if still shallowly, and stay calm to let his body start to recover. His answers were slow and measured too, not because of any fear, but simply to help regulate his breathing

"Dead wolverine?" Marcus asked curiously. He didn't understand what Dennis was talking about and he looked at Padma, his eyes questioning her.

He shrugged and looked at him before he asked, "Are you sure you're okay. You don't look well." Marcus shook his head and looked at Padma again before he grinned. "So you're familiar with both Padma and Parvati. You're a very lucky man." He seemed to be babbling and Marcus watched him closely, making sure he was okay before he answered. "You were out there? Not one of my finer moments according to most but I won what I wanted." Grinning, he looked up at Padma again.

Marcus still didn't like the way he looked and when he glanced at Padma, he knew that they wouldn't be going anywhere until Dennis was alright. Plopping himself down next to Dennis, he spread his knees apart slightly to get comfortable before he said, "We've got nothing to do really, so why don't you tell me about yourself, Dennis?"

[shh_dennis]

"Sorry....just something smells really bad coming from one of the empty buildings

[shh_marcus]

"Ah, and that set off your attack?" Marcus inquired, not knowing how asthma worked but wanting to find out more. "You look fine but if you need food, I can get some." He went to stand up but Padma gave him a look and then took off down the street to find Dennis something to eat

[shh_dennis]

"Yeah. Strong smells are a biggie for me. Was the reason I always only barely passed Potions. I could do the written, but the practical? Not unless I wanted to wind up in the Hospital wing. Was the same way with Chemistry in Muggle school

[shh_marcus]

"Will you take your NEWTs one day?" Marcus asked, looking at Dennis curiously. Chuckling, he shook his head. "I took eight years. You'll probably get out before I did. Bell's a good flier."

He heard Dennis trail off when discussing his job with the homeless people and nodded. Marcus hadn't been quite so brave and had run after his parents were killed. Of course, he didn't feel the need to mention that to someone who he'd just met. "I think what you did was admirable."

"Maybe I could get a part time job there as an instructor." He mused as he looked over at Dennis. "So what does a juice bar actually do?"

"You don't need to cook us a meal." Marcus laughed. "I'm sorry, its just that no one really offers to do things for me. It's appreciated but if I go out, it'll be because I want to play and I'm thinking that I want to play." He kept checking Dennis to see if he was okay and he wished Padma would get back soon. "I just wish I had a better broom but won't make excuses." Looking over at Dennis, he asked, "Do you fly?"

[shh_dennis]

"I doubt it, unless I need to so I can go to university. Course I have to figure out what I want to be when I grow up first, and that may take till I'm 50

[shh_marcus]

"Might be here sooner than you think." Marcus replied, thinking of his own upcoming birthday. "It sounds like you've done alot already and you've got ideas for the future too."

"Smoothies? I think I've shared a banana strawberry one with my daughter." Marcus tilted his head curiously. "Chocolate has always been a weakness of mine." Marcus admitted with a smirk. "But if it's healthy, I guess I can have all I want."

"I'll tell you what. I'll drop by when you're feeling better and we'll talk about food then." He answered, hoping Padma would get back soon with the food for him. "You make your own luck and you should practice. It's all about hand eye coordination." He ignored the fact that he was somehow acquainted with Wood. Marcus then remembered something and reached into his pocket, pulling out a package of wheat crackers with peanut butter. He looked at them before he handed them to Dennis. "I carry these for my daughter but they might help you."
