(LK)Some new thread at the lake

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa smiled, glancing around the castle grounds before looking back at Fin. "I suppose it's not that bad, when you can keep warm enough..." Catching his eyes, she slowly looked away, blushing, and biting her lip to avoid grinning like an idiot.

[James McFinnigan]

Fin was trying to think of something interesting to talk about. "So like, tell me a bit about yourself. Like, you know, what are some of your hobbies? What's your family like? You know,just well, I wanna know about ya'"

[Lisa Turpin]

"Hmm," Lisa said softly, brushing snowflakes off her book before looking at Fin with an amused smile. "Everything about me? That could take a while..." She trailed off, shivering slightly, wishing she had worn warmer clothes. "But i'm mostly into painting- Not good at it, though, just something to do when i'm frustrated. Other than that, I really love to read." She said, catching Fin's eyes and biting her lip, feeling her cheeks grow warm, which was a strange contrast to the cold she was feeling just moments ago. "As for family- Really average. Nothing exciting like the stories i've heard about some people here," she said with a shrug.


[OOC-> Really sorry! I've been really really sick these past few weeks. I've missed so much school, you wouldn't believe! Uck.]

[James McFinnigan]

((It's okay, I just hope you're feeling better. )

"Painting, eh? That's pretty cool. I was never really great at art myself," he said. "And reading's one of my favorite things to do as well! Soooo..." he said. "So uhhhh, what's up?!" he asked, smiling broadly.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa smiled, flipping through the pages of her book with her free hand, "Well, when you caught me I was trying to learn the Aguamenti spell..." She said, trailing off her, a curious tone in her voice.

[James McFinnigan]

"Yes, as I recal I got a free demonstration," he said, laughing as he ran his hand through his hair.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa laughed embarrassedly, turning so she was facing Fin and sitting cross-legged across from him. "I'm awfully sorry about that!" She said, a grin still on her lips, before she looked up at his still slightly damp hair which was beginning to partially freeze. "I hope you don't get sick!"

[James McFinnigan]

"Bah, I doubt Ill get sick," he said. "Ill be fine. And don't apologise, it was an accident, it was fine...I was rather thirsty anyways!" he exclaimed, laughing. He watched his breath hang in the air for a moment, and looked down, fidgeting, not really knowing what to say next.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa laughed lightly, watching the foggy breath leave Fin's mouth before looking back up at his eyes. Finally, with a smile, she tightened her hold on his hand and looked back at her book, "Hey, Fin, do you think that the water from the spell would freeze in temperatures like this?"

[James McFinnigan]

"Uh, I suppose it would...I mean, I think it seems cold enough...though I don't really know, moving wather is harder to freez. So, it might not..." he pondered this for a moment. "I'm sorry, I don't really know the answer to that one."

[Lisa Turpin]

"Hmm..." She said thoughtfully, trailing off as she looked back at the lake. Then, looking back at Fin, she grinned, "I'm sorry about boring you with all this spell stuff, I get a bit carried away..."

[James McFinnigan]

Oh no, I'm not bored," he said quickly. "I'm just too busy drowning in your beauty."

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa blinked surprised, before letting out a small laugh, looking at him brightly. "Aw, how sweet." She said nudging him playfully and feeling her cheeks grow warm, yet again. "Hey, Fin... How come no one calls you James?" She said curiously, hoping he hadn't noticed her blushing.

[James McFinnigan]

"Hmmmmmm, interesting question actually..." he said, jokingly stroking his chin. 'Well, I don't know actually! I guess I just Like being called Fin. But you can call me James if you want, I don't mind if you do."

[Lisa Turpin]

"Oh, I see..." She said, tilting her head slightly to the side. "Fin sounds pretty cool, but I rather like James." She said with a small smile, absentmindedly playing with the hand clasped with hers. Then, with a grin, she let her gaze land on his chin. "I don't know, James," she said, happily, finding his eyes once again, "I think you need at least a tiny bit of stubble to be able to stroke your chin like that."
