(Forest) Picture Perfect

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn glared at Ashton, he didn't like getting scolded by him like he was a little kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Attack?! All I did was attempt to disarm you, or are you such a moron that you wouldn't recognize that." He hissed, unable to keep his voice quiet even though he was in the forest. "And if you thought someone was attacking you're best mate, you'd do it too!"

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity looked from Bray to Ash, then back again. Before they both decided to maul each other, she stepped in between them and held out her hands. "Alright! Enough!" She shot a glare at both, warning them, then dropped her hands again.

Fay turned to Bray first. "Thanks for worrying about me, and thanks for trying to save me. But please keep your voice down." She grinned then turned to Ash. "And please don't start shouting as well because if you do someone is bound to find us."

She turned back to where her spot was and noticed her things strewn about. Fay groaned and shook her head, before kneeling down and starting to place thing backs in her bag.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash raised an eyebrow and glaring back at Bray, replied in a cold, steady voice. "Excuse me? But that last time I checked, the one being a moron here was you. Even if I thought someone was attacking you or Fay, I wouldn't jump in and start shooting off spells! You need to pay attention to what you do! I wasn't saying that to scold you, I was saying that as a friend trying to give you some advice. But if you don't want it, fine. Be my guest. But don't come crying to me when you end up with big purple warts all over your face or worse because you thought you saw someone attacking someone else and decided to intervene."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn rolled his eyes before locking his cold glare back on Ashton, completely ignoring Fay and her attempts to stop their argument. He hated when people underestimated him or called him a fool and he sure as hell wasn't going to take that crap from a supposed friend. "Oh, oh, oh, I see. It's nice to know where you're loyalties lie. If I ever need you're help in a battle, it's good to know that you'll scarper like you're arse was on fire. Thanks a lot." He replied just as coldly, though he kept his voice lower this time so that they wouldn't be caught.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash scoffed, "I won't scarper. I'll be right there in the thick of it. Not my fault I'm smart enough to be cautious." he smirked.

[Felicity Locke]

The argument continued as Felicity packed her things into her bag. The hairs on her neck started to stand on end as the argument grew more heated, and she placed her bag against one of the trees.

She walked over to the two, hands clenched into fists. "Will you both just shut up already? It was a mistake. Just an accident. So stop getting all worked up about it." She bit back the curses that she wanted to let loose and just looked at the two.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash jumped as Fay practically snarled at them to drop the subject. "Yes ma'am!" he said meekly. He turned to Bradyn, "Sorry Bray, I guess I overreacted a bit."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn growled a bit when Ash seemed to just drop the accusation, but when he spotted Fay's look he bit his lip to drop a comeback from flying out. He'd rather not take his chances with dangerous Fay, since he didn't think even Ash's sexuality could get him out of Fay's evil wrath. "Fine." He spat, letting the last of his anger fall out with the word. Bray shouldn't have gotten as worked up as he did, but it bothered him that his friend would think of him like that. "Hmph, if you actually did hurt Fay and she's just covering up for you, don't think I'll go easy on you, arse-bandit*." He said grimly, but grinned a little afterwards.

"So, Felicity, what the hell are you doing practicing out here again? I told you not to, it's too dangerous!" He said, deciding to turn his own wrath upon the girl. She was the one caught with her hand in the cookie jar, afterall.

[*Me and my friend RP gay Brits on a different thing, and we were looking up slang and found that for homosexual. We thought it was the most hilarious thing in the world, so don't be offended. I just wanted to use it. ]

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash smirked at Bray's arse-bandit comment and shrugged. "What can I say? I love my men. Especially their arses!" he quipped. Realising that his pictures were no longer in his hand, he turned. "Where'd my pictures go?" he wondered.



((haha! that's hilarious!))

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity switched her gaze from Ash to Bray. Finally she dropped her cold look and relaxed her stance. "Like I would let Ash hurt me Bray. How long have you known me?" She rolled her eyes and leaned against one of the trees.

Fay averted her gaze as Bray turned his anger on her now. "I wasn't practicing Bray, and I know it's dangerous, you've told me thousands of times." She glanced back at him for a moment, then looked back out to the forest.

"I'm done with my target practice, just needed to stretch my legs is all." Not like she was going to explain to the boys the real reason she was out here. Her little sketching adventure wasn't the only reason she was out past curfew.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash called to Fay over his shoulder while picking up his pictures, "What were you drawing anyway?"

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn scooted away from Ash a bit, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Uh, sure, man. Whatever.. floats your boat." Then when he heard Fay's pitiful excuse, he rounded on her and reguarded Fay with guarded eyes. He didn't really believe her. "Not target practicing? What, do you think it's cool to sneak out of school, then? What could you possibly be doing out here that it's so important not to be done in the castle? They're cracking down on this hard now!" He said, mad that she wouldn't even tell him the truth. Surely if it were anything important or guild related, or band related she would have told him? Well, probably not, because he'd freak out but still.. it's not like there'd be an important reason to be out here. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash rolled his eyes at Bray's outburst, but managed to keep his mouth shut. He really didn't feel like listening to Bray yell at him...again! The last thing he needed was for Bray to get mad him again. So, he let them duke it out on their own.

[Felicity Locke]

"Fine!" Felicity threw her hands up in the air and turned to him. "I know they're getting tough about this stuff and I know it's dangerous." She paced back and forth while running her hand through her hair. "I just can't take it anymore!"

Felicity stabbed her finger over in the direction of the school. "I can't be stuck in there any longer. I stayed inside for winter, I followed the rules for as long as I could. But I can't do it anymore! I can't just be cooped up in that place anymore." She looked up at the tops of the trees. "In there I have to follow the rules and be a good little girl. But out here there aren't any rules."

She sighed and grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder. "The Ministry is slowly closing in on us, and I can't have them take away my freedom too."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn rolled his eyes. "And the lawns or the pit isn't enough for you to stretch your legs? Not enough danger." He growled, still not finding her excuse good enough to put her life on the line.

"And it's not the ministry's fault you can't come here. It's been like this for centuries at Hogwarts, and for good reason. Right, Ash? Right!" He crosses his arms in font of him, wand still in hand. "I almost wish some prefect finds us, so they can tell you what an idiot you are."
