An adventure was calling â and Lysander was more than willing, a little too willing, to answer the call. He didnât even finish his morning coffee, when he stared down at his notebook, the cover painted over with intentional horrid colors, to give love to rarely used colors. But his body was alive with the need to get out, to explore, to seek out adventure. It was a lifestyle that he was fond of, always wanting more and more out of the vastness of the outdoors.Â
He didnât know how much time passed between getting dressed, leaving, and ending up at Janeâs. His flannel was buttoned unevenly, possibly from rushing to get ready. Brushed teeth, uncombed hair, different styles of socks, and he was ready to go. Appearances never really mattered to the younger Scamander twin, who didnât yet decide what color he wanted his hair to be.Â
He didnât give himself a chance to knock on the door, almost as if it were a patter. One knock, four fast knocks, two knocks. He didnât even give Jane time â if she was home, to open the door. He opened it himself, either unlocking it if it was locked or just allowing himself into the home.Â
âJane! Jane?â He shouted urgently, a wide smile flaunted across his face. âItâs adventure time. Get ready, nature is calling. Hurry, I say.â He didnât care if he was shouting for her, he was already slouched against the door. âWhat about waterfalls? Or unicorn searching? Come on, letâs go.âÂ
Jane wished she could be even remotely surprised when Lysander came barreling into her apartment on her day off, no less, demanding an adventure. Sheâd been in dreamland, sleeping, for once, resting her body & her mind -- excited to have a relaxing day to herself. At least, as relaxing of a day Jane could have -- a few errands were lined up, a few bills that needed to be paid, but a nice breakfast was ahead of her. âLysander? Lysander, where are you? Donât tell me youâve got some sort of invisibility cloak on? Actually, no, tell me that this is a dream. Iâm still dreaming. Iâm asleep as I should be for the next,â she looked at her clock, âtwenty-seven minutes, Lysander!â
Starting to get up, Jane stretched, yawned, and curled her body into itself as she forced herself to get up. âLysander, you can come in, just please let me get my robe and please PLEASE let me get some tea first? We both need a snack if weâre going to do this, and Iâm putting my foot down, Scamander, youâre letting me have some of my morning before we go. Youâve already derailed my plans, mister!â Though she wasnât nearly as agitated as she was acting, she was genuinely concerned & wanting to have the morning sheâd so diligently planned.Â
Walking over to her clothes rack, she wrapped her robe around herself, another thought occurring to her. âWe wouldnât go Unicorn searching at HOGWARTS, right? Iâm not keen on going all the way out there to the Forbidden Forrest. I like the waterfall idea much more. Should I bring a bathing suit? I need to pack a picnic, Ly, I wish youâd at least give me a heads up or really, I should be prepared by now. I really need to make a Lysander Excursion Picnic Basket for when you whisk me off on these adventures as if Iâve got nothing better to do.â
