Out For a Walk

[Frankie Tillington]

"Hey, stop." Frankie threw out an arm as she came to a sudden halt, making sure that Jocelynn stopped with her rather than trying to walk on ahead. It meant that her friend was kind of whacked across the chest as Frankie did so, but her attention was more closely focused on the pair of coins she held in her hand. She'd managed to drag the other girl out for one of her coin walks today, and it was the first time they'd come up to a major intersection along the path they'd been strolling along. "Right, I need you to flip the Knut while I flip the Sickle. Or did you want to do it the other way round? Did I even tell you what each one decides?" Frankie swung her head up to squint in Jocelynn's direction, then grinned. "Also can you repeat what you just said, I missed it." She didn't think her friend would hold it against her though, they were having too much fun out here. It was a great day to spend some time together, and Frankie was glad she hadn't needed to say much to convince Jocelynn to join her.

Jocelynn was having fun hanging out with Frankie. They hadn't gotten very far out of the castle before her friend stopped her. Taking the knut from her friend's hand she listened to her explanation. "No the knut and fine and uhm, let's see if I can figure it out as we go!" She said starting to flip the coin in the air above her. Reaching out Jocelynn managed to catch it in her hand. "Oh I was saying my sister is in Hufflepuff, Marlowe," Jocelynn said repeating herself but keeping it shorter this time as she was sure Frankie didn't want to listen to her talk about her sister in a long winded amount again. Jocelynn knew she could talk and talk and talk without stopping and was trying to fix that about herself. But Frankie was one of the few who actually seemed to not be bothered about it and usually talked just about the same amount as she did.

Grinning at the way her friend wasted no time in deciding, Frankie flipped the remaining Sickle in the air before catching and smacking it onto the back of her right hand. "Oh hey, congrats Joce, you're now part of the Hufflepuff Sister Squad." She held up her free hand for a high five. "Is she enjoying it here?" Frankie had waved to her own sister across the Great Hall during most mealtimes, but hadn't been able to make a chance to properly sit down with her yet. "Okay, what have you got?" she said, peering across at the coin Jocelynn had just flipped. "Heads we go left, tails we go right. Or, you know, approximately." She lifted her head quickly to assess the practicality of each direction, then turned back to Jocelynn. "The Sickle's the fun one though - I got Heads." Frankie drew the last word out in a sing-song voice, pushing her hand across to display the coin with a wide grin.

Jocelynn glanced over at Frankie as she mentioned Hufflepuff. At first her mind with blank not understanding what the girl meant but then realized her sister was a Hufflepuff now. She returned the high five that was offered. "Yeah, we are the cooler sisters of course," the young girl said with a bright laugh. Looking down at the coin in her hand the girl looked back up to her friend. "It's Heads as well, so that means we go left," she said slightly questioning in her tone. She wondered what the sickle was going to do for their adventure.

Frankie grinned at her friend. "Damn right," she responded, then paused almost thoughtfully. "I haven't known Gabby long, but she always seems to be frowning whenever I'm laughing. Maybe Gryffindor is just obviously the cooler house." She nodded at seeing the coin Jocelynn showed her before plucking it back from her friend's hand. "Okay, so left is..." she turned to face in that direction, then grinned. "...towards the Forbidden Forest. Ooh, Joce, you're going to get us in trouble." She drew out the last word teasingly, but wasn't really too worried about such a thing happening. She started walking off, expecting Jocelynn to fall in step with her right away. "Okay so the Sickle decides what we're going to do in the direction that we walk - and Heads means that the next person we see, we have to stop and help them out with something." Frankie grinned again. "Sometimes they say they don't want our help, but that doesn't usually stop me and Mom." They would surely run across somebody, but if they didn't it was no big deal. She'd just have fun walking and talking with Jocelynn.

ooc: I know, you've been waiting forever for me Sorry!!!!!!!


Jocelynn was glad to be out of the castle on such a nice day and with probably the nicest girl in her year/house. The other girls tended to not want to talk to Jocelynn, she knew she sometimes took control of conversations, but she tried not to, she tried to be a listening ear. But sometimes her mouth and brain had their own mind. "I can't imagine what it must have been like to find out you two are related. I've always known my little sister, since she was born..." she said shaking her head at the thought. She put her arm over Frankie's shoulders and brought her smile back up on her face. Looking left with her friend a grin appeared on her face. It wouldn't be the first time she'd been in the forest, the first time she hadn't gotten in trouble so she thought luck might end up being on their side again. She laughed at the fact of what they would have to do. "Well, hopefully we find someone before we end up in the forest, although last time I helped a boy in our year get out of the forest when we were already in, I think Alexis was also there, I can't remember, it happened last year. So long ago now to think about," Jocelynn said with a shrug of her shoulders looking around for someone they could help.
