"Oh, wow! This room looks so bright."

Komachi had stumbled into the room Ahiru was using by accident, lost wandering around the school on her own again. A lot of the rooms she usually stumbled into were thickly coated with dust, or spider webs, or there was that time she interrupted a nest of the ghost pokemon (definitely not the best experience).

"What are you wearing, Ahiru?" She had finally noticed the younger girl's attire, something she wasn't familiar with.

[pirouetteduck]

"Qu-qua!!"

Ahiru had, predictably, fallen headfirst over the barre as the other girl had startled her. Really, it was amazing she hadn't died of an actual heart attack yet. So she looked up at Komachi from the floor, one leg hooked over the barre but the rest of her sprawled everywhere.

"H-Hi... it's my practice clothes..."

[cuteforsamurai]

Komachi clapped her hands over her mouth as she startled Ahiru into falling over, both to keep from laughing and because of the general shock. "Are you okay? That really can't be comfortable." She walked further into the room, picking Ahiru's leg up so that it wasn't hooked on the barre any longer.

"For dancing?" She remembered the younger girl had asked about that over the journals.

[pirouetteduck]

"Thank you," she said sheepishly, untangling herself and brushing her tights off as she stood again. "Mm, that's right! For dancing!"

Lizzie always loved to explore every nook and cranny of the castle, and today was no exception. She had noticed that one of the older class room has slowing been cleaned up, but she had never seen who was doing it. "Ahiru!" Lizzie smiled as she entered the class room. "Has that been you that that has been cleaning this room?"

[pirouetteduck]

"Hi Lizzie!" Ahiru beamed. "Yes! I worked really hard on it!"

[timefordressup]

"You did a wonderful job!" It was then that Lizzie really thought about what Ahiru was wearing. "Oh! You're going to practice dancing, yes? I would like to try as well. Would you mind if I joined you?"

[pirouetteduck]

Ahiru beamed enthusiastically. "Yeah, I don't want to get any more out of practice, and I needed a break from studying..."

She nodded. "I'd like that!"

In the midst of a routine evaluation of Hogwarts, Sebastian froze. He turned, slowly, wafting a brow as a sudden shriek rippled throughout the empty corridor. It was a desk, no doubt, but why would somebody be moving a bunch of them, .. especially in this wing of the school. He sighed, folding his arms as he walked toward the source. He peered inside, -aggravation subsiding promptly. It was Miss Ahiru.

Smiling, Sebastian stepped into the room. "I see you have finally found a secluded place to practice, Miss."

[pirouetteduck]

Predictably, the sudden voice in the room caused Ahiru to trip on the desk she was pushing; she flailed, lost her balance, and slid across the top of the desk and dumped onto the floor with a crash.

"O-Ow..."

[urpersonaldemon]

He had not expected to startle her, let alone this badly. Sebastian frowned, but promptly stepped inside and over to her. He knelt down alongside her looking for any signs of bruising, but thankfully, she appeared to be fine. He sighed out a relief, before offering Ahiru his hand.

"I apologize, Miss. I didn't think my entry would frighten you. I should have waited until you weren't concentrating so intently on your dancing." He bowed his head to her. "Forgive me."

[pirouetteduck]

Ahiru smiled sheepishly and accepted the hand up. "Thank you, sir. I'm all right though, I'm used to falling down."
