[griffin-rose]

MERP okay won't be on tonight cause I have a couple auditions in the morning, but once I get home I'll reply to Charloane and then calling in a niiight

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[drippingmascara]

[It had come to an uncomfortable point in time when the girl was looking at him intensely, with squinted eyes as if he had something on his face, and it made him nervous. His own eyes flickered around and he checked to see if he was the only one that noticed, which he obviously was because no one ever really looked at him this hard. As a reflex he started to get his things together as though to leave the scene, but when the girl mumbled something he could just barely hear the escape window grew smaller.] Uh…. [Rowan studied her, watched as her body tensed, should he respond or was that not supposed to come out. He tried to think back on whether or not he’d met her before. He knew he hadn’t.] No. I don’t think so.

[Ro thinned his lips but stayed with it, he leaned forward a little.] …Do you know me? Uh-people usually don’t. 

[griffin-rose]

[Iris backed away just a little as she heard Rowan speak for the first time. She definitely knew then she didn't know him. She would've remembered the timbre in his voice. Her eyes jotted up and down at him, studying him and staring at him as if he were an alien from another dimension. As he asked her the same question, Iris pursed her lips and gently shook her head no.] No. I don't think so. [She slightly leaned her head from where she was subconsciously and added:] ... but your face seems so... familiar. 

I-I'm sorry. It sounds odd. I just- I thought I knew you from somewhere. [Iris lowered her head down and turned body back to her prior position, clasping onto her hands and hiding behind her brown hair.]

[griffin-rose]

Not exactly sure if I'm excited to be a seventh year yet.

[haley-]

Course I have. But I’d rather live than swim naked.

[griffin-rose]

Right. It'd never happen for me anyway. My older sister would literally have a conniption if I ever went anywhere near a nudist colony.

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[diederich-malekai]

That’s ok, no need to apologize. Oh, well you better take precautions soon then! Better safe than sorry. You sound like you know a lot about plants, is that something you’re interested in or just a hobby…?

[griffin-rose]

Uh. Yeah, I guess. I like plants.

I guess I should find new fertilizer than. I'm sure Professor Longbottom could help me make my own.

[griffin-rose]

Not exactly sure if I'm excited to be a seventh year yet.

[haley-]

… Seriously?

[griffin-rose]

Yeah, why not? It sounds like so much fun. Haven't you ever wanted to go skinny dipping?

[griffin-rose]

i scare myself sometimes on how well i subconsciously remember my charrie traits omggggg

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[diederich-malekai]

The weather, huh? Hey, no need to be startled, it’s fine, I’m not quizzing you about your thoughts or anything. I mean not that there’s much to think of the weather here in Scotland. It’s just rain and rain and rain and sometimes lighter rain, but whatever.

[griffin-rose]

I-I'm sorry.

I-I was actually thinking of the weather and my helleborines. I'm afraid the excessive rain might be disturbing my plants. It's a rare orchid, which is why I might seem worried. I think I might have to find new fertilizer.

[griffin-rose]

Not exactly sure if I'm excited to be a seventh year yet.

[haley-]

There’s one about an hours drive from here.

[griffin-rose]

... Is it weird that I would actually love to go to it?

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[drippingmascara]

[Like a reflex, Rowan was quick to stop looking at the girl. If there was one thing he was good it it was fading away, he didn’t know her and he didn’t know what she’d react to. All he really knew about her was what he heard and what he saw from distances whenever she was around. But as he continued on with his business he felt the gaze of someone scratching at him, resting on him like a heavy weight. Out of discomfort he looked up, and he thought he saw her staring once again. His brows knit together curiously.]

[griffin-rose]

[Normally, in this situation, Iris would be freaked out. Her anxiety would kick in and she would stay quiet and probably walk away from the situation. But it really bothered her that she felt like this boy's face was so... familiar. It made her curious. Unconsciously, in a whisper, she muttered:] ... Do I know you? [She flinched at the sound of her voice, unaware she had spoken her thoughts aloud. Her posture stood upright, but her eyes still locked on the boy.]

[griffin-rose]

im swear im here i just had to pretend i was asleep but im here replying woot woot

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[diederich-malekai]

Bout what?

[griffin-rose]

Um. A-About the weather.

[griffin-rose]

Not exactly sure if I'm excited to be a seventh year yet.

[haley-]

I know I would. You have to be 18 to go to the closest nudist colony and I have to wait two more months. 

[griffin-rose]

A nudist colony?

Is there one nearby?

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[drippingmascara]

[Rowan didn’t mean to make a silent scene or to have the girl notice him, he didn’t really like any attention. But he’d reacted to her noise physically, and she obviously noticed. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do about it though.]

[griffin-rose]

[Iris looked away. She looked down at her hands and played with them. However her thoughts connected, and in some way, she felt like she'd seen his face before. Iris slowly turned back to him to see if he was looking... and when he wasn't she observed his face intently, trying to see if she recognized him. In her thoughts, with expression in her eyes, she asked herself "Do I know you?"]

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[diederich-malekai]

Mm?

[griffin-rose]

O-Oh. Uh. Nothing. I was just thinking.

[griffin-rose]

Not exactly sure if I'm excited to be a seventh year yet.

[diederich-malekai]

It’s a one hell of an adventure, brace yourself.

[griffin-rose]

I hope so. A good one though. Or mostly good, at least.

You enjoyed your seventh year, Lev, right?

[griffin-rose]

Not exactly sure if I'm excited to be a seventh year yet.

[haley-]

A little. You’ve got one of those faces where you look older but you also can pass for your actual age.

[griffin-rose]

Really? That's good. I'm sure I can use that to my advantage once in a while.

[griffin-rose]

Mm.

[drippingmascara]

[griffin-rose]

[Iris turns to notice Ro staring at her. However she doesn't say a word and just looks at him back.]
