Doing A {RainDance} -Brendan-

[lillian]

Lillian sighed as she looked up at the sky. It was dark and gray, which sort of matched her personality for the day. She had woke up in a bad mood and stayed that way for the rest of the day. Letting her brown eyes move away from the clouds she looked out in front of her again just in time to avoid a near head on collision with a slytherin girl. “Oh sorry.” She said in a quiet tone as she moved to the side of the girl and continued on her way.

Eyes on the ‘road’ Lilly! Chuckling at herself she stopped at the end of the grass and looked at the pier that was before her. It didn’t exactly seem sturdy and she wasn’t wearing the right attire for swimming. No in fact the tight blue jeans matched with a silky pink halter top would not look half as good wet. Yet for some reason she continued on her way and didn’t stop until reaching the end of the pier. Once she did, she removed the bag from her shoulder and sat herself down, letting her feet dangle over the edge. The spikes of the heels nearly touching the water as she did.

Taking the bag into one hand she began rummaging around through it and found her notebook and a quill that magically had ink in the end of it at all times. Laying her bag to the side she opened the book and began writing. Dearest David, I hope all is well About the time she had written that a raindrop fell onto the paper causing it to smear slightly. A loud squeal escaped her lips as she quickly shut the book and stowed it away in her bag again.

Standing herself up she ran back across the pier and halfway across the grounds before she realized that she was already soaked so what was the rush now? Sighing she put her bag over her shoulder and then started back down the path she had started yet this time she was headed toward Rose Petal Lane. Upon reaching the lane she laid her bag down on a bench that was present and she started twirling around.

Her arms where open wide as she ‘danced’ on the lane, grinning brightly as the rain fell down upon her.

He had been sleeping, when he heard a soft pitter patter against the windows in the Common Room. Yes, you might ask why Brendan was sleeping in the common room - well, because he had fallen asleep whilst studying, duh. Although the very idea that he had been studying shouldn't shock you. He may hate the fact that he looked like a dork cause of his glasses, but he had to admit he studied hard. Just that he usually didn't retain information, unless he felt like it.

But back to the point. He woke, and as he reached blindly for the glasses that had fallen off his face. He was as blind as a bat without them. When his vision came back into focus, he lazily stood up and stretched. Gods, it felt so good to be moving again. Moving his gaze towards the window, he marveled the common room. Perhaps it was their luck that they got a really good view, an overview of everywhere since this tower, having been the last built, was slightly taller, and offered, well so he thought, a better view.

As he smiled at the scenery outside, his eyes laid sight on a girl, who seemed to be... running from the pier? Odd sight indeed. As a smile appeared on his lips, he decided, that since he hell well wasn't gonna study anymore, he would follow her. Tracing the direction she was heading, he made a guess, choosing Rose Petal Lane. It probably was there where she would be going, and since he was bored he might as well, no? Donning a jacket, and wearing a woolen hat, something he couldn't live without, he escaped the dorms, and heard the portrait door close behind him.

He moved, like a stalker on a mission. Down the hallways, out the main entrance. He arrived outside, and he smiled. Towards Rose Petal Lane, his mind commanded, and he had to obey. YOU HAD TO. It was the brain, after all. xD Moving stealthily to Rose Petal Lane, he saw the same girl as he had, from the window. She looked prettier up close, but perhaps it was only his male instinct. Hormones, you'll hate them. As she started dancing, he laughed, as he stayed under the cover of the nearby trees, for fear of getting wet. He didn't exactly want to get wet, mind you. She was funny, definitely.

OOC;; Bad post, I'm sorry

As Lilly spun about she began to get dizzy so she slowed her spinning and finally came to a stop and looked around at the scenery that was still moving for some reason. Laughing aloud she stumbled rather drunkenly toward the bench that she had left her bag on, but on the way something caught her eye.. Or more like someone instead of something. Her eyes squinted slightly as she tried to focus the person better.

Though with the rain falling and her being dizzy still she had some trouble with that but finally they came into focus. A boy, standing under the protection of a tree. Now why didn't I think of that? Making a bit of a face at herself Lillian walked toward the boy with a tiny smile present upon her pale looking lips. Of course normally they where bright and rosy pink but with the cold of the rain that had changed.

Pushing her blond hair out of her eyes as it had plastered itself across her forehead she approached the boy and held her arms out as if to question what he was doing with just body language. "Now why, may I ask, are you standing over here? If you haven't noticed its perfect dancing weather." Lilly let a chuckle be heard before she crossed her arms as if to try and get herself warm.

"I'm Lilly. The extremely wet dancing fool. And you?" She asked her smile still plastered upon her lips. Even an extremely wet dancing fool can be happy right? Lillian took a better look at the boy. He was rather cute, with glasses that made him seem slightly dorky, yet just helped out the cute factor really. His shaggy brown hair hidden by his woolen hat, and his brown eyes shining from behind his spectacles.

[brendan]

He was amused whens he came over, and even more when she said it was the perfect dancing weather. 'Love, it may seem so to you, but to me, I'm hell well not getting wet.' He said seriously, as he stifled a grin, and made himself comfortable on the dry patch below the tree. Hello dryness. There was no way he was gonna get wet - that was stupid. And he was perfectly happy, dry and comfortable. As Brendan brushed a few loose strands in his face, he felt the girl observing him. He didn't exactly appreciate it, though he kept his mouth shut.

In return however, she did offer a name. Lilly. He smiled at the name, and said with a laugh, 'Well Lilly the extremely wet dancing fool, I'm Brendan, the extremely dry Pillow Monster.' He grinned at the nickname, something Captain Avery had given him, and he stuck with it. Like duh. As he laughed at her again, he watched the rain, the small droplets barely visible, but some stuck to his glasses, so he did see them. Well enough mind you.

He stared up, before deciding that he should continue the conversation. 'So this is why you came out? To dance?' He asked, since he thought it was a rather silly reason for her to do such a thing. Coming all the way out just to dance. Hmph. Bren wouldn't admit that he couldn't dance though. xD

Lillian grinned when the boy spoke and shook her head slightly. "Ah stay out here long enough and you will be getting wet, believe me. I had no intentions on becoming this way either to be honest with you." She chuckled slightly and realized that she had left her bag laying on the bench for anyone to grab. Looking over her shoulder she saw that no one was in sight and figured it was safe for the time being anyway.

Looking back at the boy as he introduced himself she giggled slightly, covering her mouth with her hand as if to silence it yet of course it didn't work. "Well its nice too meet you Brendan the extremely dry pillow monster." She extended a thin hand to the boy, still smiling as she did. "Where does Pillow monster come into the mix?" Lilly inquired rather randomly. She was extremely random at most times, if she wasn't it was a very odd moment for her.

Lillian glanced over her shoulder again to catch a glimpse of her bag and then heard the boy speaking to her and she looked back with a grin. "No, actually it wasn't.. I was planning on sitting on the pier and writing a letter but the weather decided otherwise.. And once I found myself drenched I decided why not just dance in the rain." Chuckling a bit Lillian looked at the tree that was sheltering them now.

After a moment she looked back and let her head fall to the side slightly. "What about you, did you come out just to watch me dancing in the rain?" She questioned. "Or maybe planning on joining me?" A laugh once again made itself present between the two.

[brendan]

He frowned when she said that he would be getting wet. Damn, and him without an umbrella - perhaps one of the best things man ever invented. He wondered if she knew about it. Pureblood, Muggleborn? Half-blood? He didn't know, but he hell well would like to find out. He needed more Muggle-born friends alliances of sorts. But as he thought, a smile creeped onto his face. She wouldn't be a Mihael now, would she? If she wasn't, well, congrats. She would be the first non-Mihael he had ever met. :] Hurrah!

He shook her hand, and when she asked why Pillow Monster, he said with a smile, 'The Quidditch Captain of Mihael gave me that name. It's a long story, but it was a choice between Pillow Monster and Superhero Slaterman. I liked Pillow Monster better. Don't you?' He asked, as he grinned. He laughed as she said about dancing in the rain, and asked, 'So I assume you like dancing?' He smiled, as he wondered whether it was true. She did dance well, so it was nothing out of the ordinary, really. He wouldn't be surprised.

He grinned, as he realised if he told her why he was out here she would probably just not believe him. 'Honestly, I was stalking you.' He waggled his eyebrows, as he waited for a response. She looked interesting anyway, since she had been the one running in the rain.

Seeing the frown that was now present on Brendan's face Lilly's eyebrows shot up with wonder at what had caused it but none the less she stayed quiet for the time being. Letting her hands slide up and down her arms she got a bit warmer, which caused her to be a little more comfortable. Comfort was not easily found when your clothes where clinging onto you like leeches.. Yes odd comparison, one that made Lilly shiver slightly at the thought.

After shaking his hand, Lilly let her hands once again rest on her arms to try and keep warm, as the boy began to explain the nickname. Hearing his choices she thought for a moment, biting the inside of her lip as she did, and then come to the conclusion that she too liked Pillow Monster best. "As charming as Superhero Slaterman is, I like Pillow Monster." Grinning slightly she spoke again. "I take it your name is Brendan Slater or something starting with that?"

Lillian chuckled a little before sitting down, or falling down however you like to put it, on the grass and crossing her legs Indian-style. "Well Dry Pillow Monster. I don't dislike dancing... It looks slightly better when in the dry though." Giggling a bit she looked up at the boy who was now towering over her due to her sitting on the ground. "What about you? Like dancing?"


Lilly let her eyes stay on the boy, and they grew rather large when he spoke once more stating that he had been stalking her. "You where stalking me?" Getting slightly nervous and trying to figure out if he was joking or telling the truth she let her thumbs go in circles round one another before speaking again. "Since I'm the stalkee, may I ask why the stalker was stalking?"

[brendan]

He saw her shiver. Definitely. As he stifled a grin at her attempt to hide the fact that she was cold, he let a sigh escape, along with a smile. He removed the jacket he had been wearing just now, and offered it to her. Sure, he was cold, but she needed it more than he did, definitely. So she should take it. 'Here, don't want you getting sick now, do we?' He didn't want her getting a cold, or pneumonia, from staying too long in the rain, and not effectively preparing herself against it. If she got sick, it could be pretty bad. So he thought, anyway.

He grinned when she approved of Pillow Monster. See, it gave more of an edge, didn't it? It sounded cooler, in Bren's own world and all. But then again, it was a rather deluded world wasn't it? xD As she asked about his surname, he nodded. 'Brendan James Slater. I'm a Muggle-born, thus the middle name. Just stick to Bren, or Pillow Monster yeah?' James was a rather Muggle name, he had to admit. So that's a good way to find out his heritage, his blood status and all that. However, if you were a vampire, you probably wouldn't get his blood-type out of him.

When she asked about dancing, he hid a grimace, and said, 'I have... no passion, for dancing.' Hell no was he going to admit he hated it. And that he couldn't dance. She sat down to join him, and he still saw that she was pretty darn wet. Having your clothes cling to you probably isn't enjoyable is it? He guessed so. As he looked up, he asked, 'You planning to head inside anytime soon?' He hoped she was, since he worried for her health.

He noticed she was rather worried when he told her he was stalking the poor girl. Bren grinned, and said, 'I lied, a little. I saw you from the Common Room Tower, Mihael's got a pretty darn good view of the entire Rose Petal Lane. Sickens me at times to see the couples, but I saw you. You were running, in the rain, and I was amused. So I came out, Be touched.' He added the last two words as an aftercomment, trying to instill some amusement into the equation.
