kay finds a smile on his lips at the sight of the ravenclaw, setting down his book in favor of his friend’s presence. “i don’t think so, but you’ll probably stand out more if you don’t dress up,” he thinks that’s what clement’s after anyway. “i’m not putting very much effort into my own costume, so don’t feel pressured.” kay can see him as many things, but he isn’t sure if he’ll be willing to accept most of them. “we can come up with something together, if you’d like.”
