02nd Run is Fast

[one_step_ahead]

Ravenclaw tower / Outside

[Nowadays it seems like a Peregrine Falcon has found a nest atop of the Ravenclaw tower, where it can be seen sitting sometimes, observing quietly one moment, before diving down with it's incredible speed, when it's next prey catches it's eyes... Oh. Right. That's just Kenya practicing his form. Did he just scare the living daylights out of you? His bad, except he's probably laughing unashamedly at your freaked out expression. Sorry~]

Quidditch field

[One of the first places Kenya decides to check out, is the pitch, seeing as he signed himself into his house team. He's played at Mahoutokoro as well and he loved it, he knows he'd miss it, if he didn't get to play for half a year, or more. And his speed had beat every player that was in the team, granting him a starting position like a piece of cake. He's a Chaser now. Too bad the Seeker is already occupied, by someone so influential, but alas. Kenya prefers the Chaser position, so it's all good. Less responsibility on his shoulders. He gets on his broom and takes a tentative circle around the field, before starting to practice a few maneuvers.]

Locked to Shiraishi, April 14th, Afternoon

[It's after the classes that day already, when Kenya first seeks out his best friend. Of course they have talked that day already and Kenya said his congratulations, but it wouldn't do with just that. of course he's prepared a little surprise for his best friend, which he has just finished setting up. It's nothing big, but it' not something he can drag along with him through the entire castle either, wthout looking like an idiot.

Now it only needed Shiraishi. Kenya transforms into his falcon form and shoots into the air. It's still the fastest way to find his friend - and the most amusing one. He spots Shiraishi soon enough and dives down in that thunderous speed, intending to make Shiraishi's shoulder his 'prey'. Shiraishi had gotten used to it in Mahoutokoro, but Kenya wonders if distance makes you forget. Soon he's boring his talons into the flesh, but careful enough to not hurt his friend seriously, crying out a falcon's cry, that sounds more like a laugh than anything.]

Remember this?

[enchantressofore]

[ No.

When she sees just what's flying away after startling her, the girl goes completely pale. She feels like she's about to be sick as flashes of what had happened the last time a bird had attacked her on her broomstick, and even if the peregrine isn't as big as the hawk that had done so...

The sound makes it worse, and she's flinching, almost bracing herself as she darts to the ground as quickly as she can on her broom, landing and seeking shelter in the broom shed for the time being. She's probably going to be there for a while, curled up in the corner of the shed and clutching her broom while just shaking and trying just to breathe. It's all she can do then, telling herself that it's not the same one, that she's safe in there, that what happened previously isn't going to happen again.

Part of her feels ridiculous for having such a strong reaction to it, but at the time anything logical is being shut out by the events of the past still haunting her. Just when she'd thought she was getting over it, too... ]

[one_step_ahead]

[Kenya's mostly just practicing his moves, and practicing at actual targets a) gives you more experience and b) is more fun, but he doesn't expect that girl to run and hide in a broom shed. The worst reaction this harmless fun ever gave him was, when people tried strangling him after he laughed his ass off at them. No one has ever ran away though. Back in his human form, he knocks on the door.]

Hey chill. 'S just harmless me out here. Ya okay?

Outside

[enchantressofore]

[ There's no answer from her, at least not right away. She's curled up tight, hiding her face in her knees as she's still trying to calm down and shut everything out.

Which means it takes a little bit for her to register just what he says. An animagus.

... ... ...

AN ANIMAGUS!?

Kenya gets an angry fourteen year old girl yanking the door open, livid and embarrassed at the same time. ]

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU PLAYING AT!? Why would you even do that to someone who's flying, you could have... Just why!?

[ Even through the yelling she's still a little spooked, which just makes her even more mad now that she has someone to take it out on. Kind of. ]

Outside

[one_step_ahead]

[When the door bursts open to an angry, fire spitting red head, Kenya takes several steps back, only to trip and land ass first on the ground.]

Whoa, whoa, whoa easy!

[He holds his hands up in defense, because where the previous reactions, no matter how extreme they were, were funny, this one is just plain simply scary. Kenya fears for his life. She's got a weapon (a broom in the hands of a woman is a weapon).]

I was just practicing!

Outside

[enchantressofore]

Practicing for what!? Why would you need to swoop down and attack anyone like that!?

[ She's still breathing hard, flushed and pissed. Finally she takes a step back, looking away from him as she starts quieting down. It seems like she's not going to get violent at least, even if she is clearly still upset. ]

Forget it.

[ She makes to walk by him and back towards the school then, perhaps a little too quickly. Damn it she does not need this crap right now...! ]

Outside

[one_step_ahead]

My falcon form and attacks... Hey wait!

[He gets up and runs after her, grabbing her by the wrist to stop her.]

Calm down, okay? I wasn't trying to hurt you.

[She looks pretty shaken though and Kenya does feel sorta bad.]

Are you okay?

Outside

[enchantressofore]

[ She tugs at her wrist then, still a little panicked when she meets his eye. ]

I don't care anymore, now let go!

[ He might be able to feel her quivering when she's not trying to pull her wrist away, and she's not looking at him while she tries to do so. ]

What kind of idiot are you doing that anyway, didn't you hear about what happened in March...?

Outside

[ivegotadream]

[While Rapunzel first reaction was to jump slightly because it was kind of sudden, her reaction afterwards was to smile at wonder. Such a wonderful form and all she could do was stare in wonder.]

Outside

[one_step_ahead]

[The falcon cocks his head and let's out a cry, that sounds almost amused, before suddenly it starts growing, wings becoming arms, the beak stretching into a huge grin, and seconds later a full human is standing in front of the girl. Only his eyes are still the same midnight blue, twinkling with mischief.]

What? Like it so much?

Outside

[ivegotadream]

[She was honestly surprised when they changed to a person. She had no idea that was a thing here.]

H-How did you do that?

Outside

[one_step_ahead]

I'm an animagus.

[He says proudly. It's something his parents made him do, but it gives a nice little stroke to his ego whenever he can impress anyone with it.]

Outside

[ivegotadream]

What is an animagus?

[Well she knew people can turn into animals, but it made her wonder if it could be vice versa.]

Outside

[one_step_ahead]

[Huh? Who on the earth doesn't know that?!]

A wizard, or a witch, who can transform themselves into an animal.

[Basically. Simply put.]

Ravenclaw Tower

[shslprogrammer]

[Chihiro had been quietly working on something for school when he glanced out the window, only to see something flying past quick enough to cause the young teenager to jump slightly. It was not what he had been expecting at all, but after a moment he went to open the window to look out and try and get a closer look to see what kind of bird it was.]

Ravenclaw Tower

[one_step_ahead]

[Unfortunately for him, Kenya chose that same exact moment to come flying in through the window, landing on his own two legs. His transformation was getting better and faster. Only then does he realize that there's someone by the window and turns around, sheepish smile on his face.]

Oh sorry. Did I startle you?

[He doesn't really look sorry though...]

Ravenclaw Tower

[shslprogrammer]

[Chihiro was obviously startled, but it took him a moment or two to even settle down.]

Y-Yes, but it's okay, really.

Ravenclaw Tower

[one_step_ahead]

[Kenya grins. If it's okay, it's okay.]

Good. So I can do it in the future as well? I need to practice, yanno.

[He's such a little shit.]

Ravenclaw Tower

[shslprogrammer]

Why would you need to to practice though?

[For what reason would it be needed here?]

Ravenclaw Tower

[one_step_ahead]

Well, if you have abilities, you need to train them, right? Or you'll become rusty.

Locked

[backtobasics]

[It's been so long that Kenya's falcon form does startle him a bit, but once he has a chance to look better, he recognizes his friend and smiles.]

Oh. It's been a while since you sat on my shoulder.

Locked

[one_step_ahead]

[Jumping down from Shiraishi's shoulder, Kenya lands on his two human feet, turning around with a huge, accomplished grin plastered on his face. He's clearly gotten a kick out of it.]

It's been a while since you've been around to do that. I hope I didn't startle you too much.

[His innocent grin says that it's exactly what he hopes he did though. He'll make up for it later anyway.]

What's up?

[backtobasics]

... you actually wanted to startle me, so don't try to act so innocent.

[He can see right through you and he's not even a Legilimens.]

Not much. I was thinking of finding Niou now that classes are over.

[one_step_ahead]

[Kenya chuckles evilly, flashing his trademark Oshitari smirk at Shiraishi. Which gets broader when he hears Shiraishi is basically doing nothing. Excellent.]

Do you think you could postpone that? I want to show you something.

[backtobasics]

Sure. It's not like he and me ever have a set time of meeting. What is it?

[one_step_ahead]

A surprise!

[Kenya says with a grin, getting a hold of Shiraishi's wrist and starting to guide him to where he hid the thing.]
