Closed Away From the Lights

[Elodie Wynshaw]

Elodie wasn't in a partying mood. She was feeling a bit down tonight- though honestly she'd been a bit down for a while. She was just struggling, feeling lonely and missing home. She didn't want to go to the dance, and had instead opted for a walk outside. She felt a little better in the fresh air, stopping on the lawn with her arms around herself. She shut her eyes, leaning her head back and just enjoying the slight chill in the air and the breeze in her hair.

 

[Oskar Strom]

Oskar was determined to do a better job avoiding school dances this year and stayed even farther away from the great hall and the courtyard. His lack of wardrobe was one of many reason he stayed away but everyone in one place did make it easier for him to exist in peace as he walked through the halls and made his way out to the lawn to enjoy some fresh air. But apparently he wasn't the only one who had the same idea. He saw Elodie and wondered if he should join her. As much as he wanted to be alone at least the Hufflepuff was a less intimidating person to run into than Summer. Finally he decided to join her and he stood silently for a moment until he noticed she was holding her arms around herself. "Are you cold?" he asked quietly.
