(F)walking around

[Kim Rivers]

i read stars.. and silly warnings she thought to herself as her eyes drifted downward to the floor. She didnt say much to that apart from "Malfoy seems to be a git. well what ive heard. not actually met him though so ill give him the benefit of the doubt" she said "Thats a nice gift youve got" she said a little saddly

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee looked away for a second sensing the sadness in Kim's voice. "It's what made me a Hufflepuff." She looked at Kim. "So wat do you like to do for fun here?" she asked trying to change the subject.

[Kim Rivers]

"Sit around and have a laugh with my nearest and dearest" she said "Or go for walks early in the morning in the brisk air alone. Or read the books i find interesting. And wander around the forest. What about you?"

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

Standing out of site, Prof Addis was watching the two girls. He was keeping an eye on any students trying to enter the forest. He foled his arms and felt himself unstiffen a little. Though he should be asleep, he was not going to be, despite the fact that he had an early morning class. He sat there, watching the two girls.

He heard someone approaching him, as he turned he didn't see them in the dark.

[Erich Aubry]

What Kim Rivers will Acknowledge in Time:
See a girl. See a girl. They watch from single eyes, a precious rock. Her body belongs to the old dead. We breath and there is a wreath, a necklace. An amulet where something crawls.

What did it mean to let them inside your head?

***

The trees sway, drift close and apart again. This is their natural language and it is only right that they cannot say what they mean. A spoiled shape warms the ground beneath their feet, walking along the edge of a forest that can no longer bear life.

But above the sky is clear behind its cloud cover and the words are there if she'd learn to look for the answers.

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee approached Professor Addis and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Professor." She smiled sweetly. "What are you doing out here?" she asked.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

He smiled. "Watching over the forest like any good Professor should." Leigh said. "I'd appreciate it if you left right away, I know you're the Head Girl, but please refrain from being anywhere near the forest."

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee sighed. "Professor Addis... It's my class period off." She placed a hand on her hip. "And I was doing just the same you are!" She said firmly. "I have every right to be out here making sure no younger students are getting into trouble as much as you do."

[Kim Rivers]

"Do trees sing professor?"

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"Ashlee, please return to the Common Room, I need to speak with you there." He said to Ashlee, soon turning to Kim he continued, "There's a reported spirit in there, I'm not sure however if it's truly real."

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee sighed. "Yes Professor." She turned on her heels and headed back to the Castle. "See you later Kim."

[Erich Aubry]

In our silence there is an orchestra. All life breathes and we sing the ocean. See: Our arms are voices of tremendous architecture and they reach out.

See:
We reach out for you.
We are older than the memory.
We were the first dreams of native soil.

***

The trees shudder against the weather and their inward disturbances. Arrows are flying against no one in the distance. The winged crawl and a willow strokes the earth beneath it. Erich Aubry's call speaks from every cell and particle body, impregnates their still and original magic.

The forest reels in silent crescendo.

***

Without you. God sees everything.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"Kim, you as well, return to the castle. I'll keep watch."

[Kim Rivers]

She turned "You can only see what you know." She began to walk away, not bothering to be polite. She had heard what it had said about her earlier.


((Ooc; Modded slightly for continuity -- and coolness.))

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"Kim..." Leigh started, not bothering to repremand her for her behaviour.
