O u t s i d e ;

[You know how most students leave the boat docking station to actually go inside? There was one girl who decided to stay behind after being forced to be sorted and then crawl into one of the boats to lay down. Apparently magic had changed her robes because she was too preoccupied to care to change. At least the robes she was changed into magically had a coat that was long enough to sort of work like her cloak did. She'd taken it off to put it over her to act as a blanket.

Instead of actually deciding to go inside, she was too busy moping. She hadn't even bothered to check things out and the idea that she might actually be able to use magic properly wasn't enough to cheer her up. Somebody want to fetch her?]

G r e a t - H a l l ;

[Well now that her stomach was clearly telling her that she needed to stop moping and crying, she finally started to get up and put the coat back on to head inside. Sure she was used to magic, but this wasn't quite the same. They'd never had actually moving pictures or moving stairs. Absent mindely, she continued to walk on until she stopped in front of the giant doors leading to the Great Hall.

At least she wouldn't starve, considering the food replenishes itself. Sitting down idly at the Gryffindor table, she just stared at the food. She was hungry, but there were other things to worry about.]

Saito.... Why...?

Outside

[unbridledtiger]

[He’s just walking around when he sees the one boat that is shifting ever so slightly in the water. The ripples make it obvious but it might not be so noticeable to those who aren’t looking. Seth makes his way down back towards the boats slowly, glancing over the area to see what might be pushing the boat.

When he reaches the shore line he peeks inside the boat curiously.] What’s wrong? [She could be stuck but he suspects it’s something more than that. As Seth peeks over she might notice his bright yellow eyes or white hair, or the fact that he looks a little too old to be a student.]

[louisethezero]

[Of course there was other people here. That would be logical, but she's not all that interested in really leaving said boat...]

Just... thinking of things that happened before coming here...

[unbridledtiger]

Which is?

[He leans slightly on the boats edge but not enough to disrupt the gentle rocking that was probably relaxing the young girl.]

[louisethezero]

[Should she even bother talking about it when it was still so fresh in her mind? But really, was there any other way out of it?]

Somebody I love died in my place.

[unbridledtiger]

Then shouldn't you live?

[He looks down at her with a raised eyebrow.]

Live for both you and him.

[louisethezero]

[Shouldn't you live.....? It was the same question that her siblings said, but her older sister was a lot more direct and didn't consider her feelings about it.]

But he.... He should have never taken my place in the first place.

[unbridledtiger]

It was his choice though.

[He pauses, his expression becoming more gentle.]

You're lucky to have someone care about you that much.

[louisethezero]

[He wasn't supposed to be there.... He was supposed to live on and find a way home.... She was ready to go to him and die with him if she hadn't been held back.

But it's clear that Louise really couldn't argue that or say anything about it.]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth isn't really the best at comforting people. His weight on the boat shifts as he looks down at her.]

Come on, you can't spend all night in this boat.

[Knowing this place something would come and try and eat her.]
