Caradoc was sat on the edge of a sofa in the common room when an owl soared through the window and dropped Aslyn's letter on his lap. The photos slid out as he picked it up and he looked down at them, spread across his knees.
He froze, unable to take his eyes away from the photo, and slid slowly backwards until he fell back onto the sofa.
After a moment, he regained use of his body and snatched the photos up before anyone else could see them and slipped them into the cover of the book he was reading. He hurried up the stairs to his dormitory and sat on his bed, the book resting open on his lap.
What do I do? Am I meant to...reply? What would I say? Thank you? Oh god, I'm not meant to send pictures back am I?
He stared ahead, mortified by the last idea.

About forty five seconds after Aslyn sent the owl, she decided that it was actually a really, really stupid idea. So, hoping Caradoc hadn't gotten the letter yet, and, for some reason, hoping it had been dropped off on his bed, Aslyn bolted from the girls' dormitory to the boys', stopping when she saw Caradoc on his bed.
"Oh. Um. Hi."
'Fuck.'

Caradoc looked up at Aslyn. His eyes widened and he squeaked a little in his mouth.
He quickly shut his book and threw it on the bed.
"Erm...h-hi Aslyn."
He said, attempting to look nonchalant and failing.

"Um... have you gotten... an owl... maybe?"

'Well fucking duh he got the owl. Idiot.'
