Closed Not Quite There

[Theodore Shepherd]

Teo was not known as the best planner in the world. He had worn himself out, and was on the brink of one of his infamous crashes. He managed to make it up four flights of stairs- why were there magic moving stairs that didn't act as escalators?- but at the top of the fourth flight he gave up, just laying across the last few steps and dozing a bit. People were walking past him, giving him weird looks, but he didn't care. Teo never cared when he crashed where it happened. He just had to lay down, and here was where he fell. A shadow fell over him yet again but he paid it no mind, just grumbling at it instead. "Go around, I'm too tired to care," He complained, not even lifting his head or opening his eyes to look.

 

[Sophie Shepherd]

This place was like a maze if Sophie was being honest. There were too many floors and corridors around this place. Sophie had walked around the castle to try to find the student lounge, but it seemed like a mighty mission to find the lounge. Sophie wasn't sure how many times now she went up these stairs but as she was climbing up those stairs, she noticed a figure just laying there at the top of the stairs. She frowned in confusion, making her way to the figure to make sure they were alright, but as she had gotten closer, she realised who had been at the top. She sighed before hovering over her brother. "Are you just gonna lay there forever?"

Teo groaned when he heard Sophie's voice, not bothering to shift and look at her. "I live here now," He grumbled, having melted against the stairs. "Mourn for me. I'd take a blanket and a pillow instead of flowers. I'm going to die here. Long rest Teo Shepherd, too much life for the world to handle," He quoted, dredging up energy to leave a touching eulogy for his twin. "His sister was bored senseless without the better twin to keep her company."

 

[Sophie Shepherd]

Sophie shook her head, not really impressed with what her brother was doing. "Do you really? How are you gonna eat food and get to classes if you're lying there forever?" Sophie asked jokingly with a small smile and shook her head again. The Ravenclaw rolled her eyes again. "You're being dramatic, you know that?" Sophie says with a small smile and a shake of her head, as she crosses her arms. She noticed a few people walking past eyeing the two weirdly. "C'mon dude, get upppp, people are starting to think you've passed out or something," Sophie says, as she kicks her brother's leg lightly.

Teo groaned. "You'll do it for me, you're the smart one," He grumbled. He sighed, making it as dramatic as he could. "My middle name is drama," He countered, yawning and curling a bit more against the steps. He whined as she kicked him. "Nooo, my legs don't work," He countered, opening an eye to peek at her. "I live here now."
