[Elliot's just minding his own business, really. Making his way down from the Gryffindor common rooms to the Great Hall. You know, grab some breakfast and then off to...class (it's still weird, this is a school for magic though he has less disbelief now than he did before). He's fiddling with the commuter, about to go telling Leo he better be awake

[ Geez, someone seemed to wake up on the wrong side of the bed today. Otoya winces at the loud voice, watching in awe at the ghosts before jogging up to the other boy and patting his shoulder. ]

Yanno, you don't have to yell at them...

[symbolofplace]

[Such is Elliot on any given day, really. He starts in surprise as he finds his shoulder being patted--he's still shivering slightly, but from the chill that settled over him thanks to those ghosts.]

They stampeded right through me.

[brandnewmelody]

But they're ghosts, so maybe they don't think of the ones that are still alive?

[symbolofplace]

Maybe, [he allows, grumpily.] Still. This is a school that they're making all that noise charging through.

[Elliot you make as much noise sometimes.]

[Hungary had also been making her way down to classes upon noticing the commotion. Moving out of the way for the ghosts, she watched in awe at their little stampede, before noticing the little outburst from a fellow Gryffindor. She approaches him with concern.]

Are you quite alright?

[symbolofplace]

[Elliot half-turns, ready with a brusque response, but pauses. Frowns.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Stupid ghosts. [He looks irritably after where the group of them went.]

[pureheartedperv]

They're quite the troublemakers, aren't they? Do you need help with anything?

[symbolofplace]

Yeah, they are. Surprised none of the teachers in this school can stop them. [A pause at the offer, then a shake of his head.] No, that's all right.

[It makes Elliot feel better okok.]

How do you know?

[symbolofplace]

The ones on the horses probably do! Besides, what are they doing, just going through the halls like that?!

[ Leo is quite awake, thanks. Between the two of them Leo has never been the one who is late for class because he oversleeps anyway, even if he's the opposite of a morning person. Besides... the classes here are actually interesting, unlike what they had to learn back at home, so that's even more incentive to wake up early even if he did stay up rather late last night, devouring more textbooks.

He's gotten used to the hordes of ghosts by now, somewhat, so it's not surprising to hear the whinnying in the distance. In retrospect, he's taking this a lot better than he should, considering... well, everything. But it's better this than sitting around and questioning his reality. And--

Ah. That yelling.

It doesn't sound like anything serious, though, so Leo doesn't run to his master's side right away. And when he finally gets to the Great Hall, he goes straight to Elliot's side, never mind that it's the Gryffindor table. ]

[symbolofplace]

[Elliot sees Leo coming (hard to mistake him, really, even besides the fact he had been scanning the Great Hall for him), so sits at the Gryffindor table. He would've gone to Leo's house table if Leo hadn't made his way over first. Elliot scoots just slightly to the side to leave room for Leo to sit and, as soon as he does,]

So you were here already.

[S-still a bit cranky from being practically run down. And cold. Who knew a few ghosts going through you could make you so cold?]

[ancorae]

[ Leo's response is a huge yawn as he reaches for a goblet of juice. ]

And you were making a commotion already.

[symbolofplace]

I was not!

[You kind of were, Elliot.]
