Closed Hippogriff The Horse Bird/Bird Horse Club

Dialogue: English | Mandarin Thoughts: X

Ying felt her face turning red as a tomato and her ears getting warm in embarrassment. Oh...that's why a trunk was already there! Makes sense... "Oops..." She awkwardly muttered with and a timid smile, not giving a lot of thought about the oldest boy's offer, she just moved her trunk towards the bunk next to his. She just wanted to quickly move forward from that disconcerting moment. Although she didn't felt better as soon as her trunk softly hit the floor next to the said bunk, after realizing what she had just accepted! Oh well...now it's done, no need to think much about it! she shrugged the thoughts and feeling of embarrassment away from her mind. Plopping on the soft mattress, Ying smiled at the boy, "Do not worry! I'm use to it!" She said joyfully and then she cleared her throat and looked other way around, feeling like admitting some of her dorm mates tended to make a strange lullaby background noise may not sound that polite to others. " Nice to meet you Vlad!" She replied looking at him and making a small nod, then looked down at her balancing feet to distract herself.

Was when another new cabin companion showed up. This time his face was not of a complete stranger, actually his entrance brought happy memories from her first days at Hogwarts, she had been at the castle for less then two months when she met him. Had been such a cool experience sliding down those stairs in a shield! If they had been caught, they would have been in such a trouble! But that hadn't been the case thanks Merlin! "Hey!" She happily greeted him back, "You're the glitter boy! Nice to see you around again!" She admitted raising her hand for an high five. If he replied to her gesture she would smile broadly, if not...well...she would just drop her hand down her side again with a small pout on her rosy lips.

Ying's eyes diverted from Slava to the other boy that had started by unpacking his things. Actually that could be a good example to follow but she was feeling lazy to make it at the moment. A champion huh? Nice! She thought and softly laughed at Slava's provocation, "You sure you want to walk that road?" She playfully asked him raising her eyebrow. But her eyes fell again at the opening door, when another familiar face with fiery red hair entered the room. But the young girl hadn't said a word and Ying's expression changed from amusement to judgement. She saw as Aurora levitated her bag and settled into her bunk starting to read a book without even acknowledge the others already present there. If that wasn't the rudest way to start! The girl must have had a serious lack of education growing up! Observing her Ying recongnised the book she was reading, I definitely just found a beast... she thought sarcastically.

That felt like instant karma...when she heard Vlad making a friendly attempt to reach out to her. Now that was being noble! And she had just fell into mean thoughts and assuming the worse from the other young girl...probably the girl could drop the book and just look at her...shame Ying, shame! she lectured herself.

And looked like fate was giving her another change to prove better, because another girl just entered as silent as Aurora. Well...not that silently with that heavy trunk hitting the floor at every rift it found in the wood. Ying had never seen her, although by her attire she was probably another Hogwarts student? She seemed to be...different tho! It was when a ray of sunlight coming from one of the nearest windows made the jewel in her ear shine, that Ying became curious about her. It reminded her of the elfs she used to read about in her fantastic muggle romances. So maybe, she should try and be nicer and friendly to her cabinmates, "Hey!" She said looking from one to another with a kind smile, "Welcome both to our humble cabin!" she stated.

And people didn't stopped arriving! What was really cool in her opinion, the cabin just started to feel even more cozy and welcoming with so many different people in there. This time, was a girl with captivating green eyes and a very beautiful accent. She chose her place to stay through the night and then also plopped in her bed, it seemed like they both connected through that gesture and when the other girl waved at her, Ying retributed the gesture with an acknowledging smile.

Slava’s voice came from one of the adjacent rooms, while he paced his return to the common space, “Are all the cabins like this one? It is very fancy.” He seemed impressed with his exploration of the cabin. Ying felt curious and got up to go and peek through the door towards the other corridor. In fact, it looked like a cabin with some privilege rooms, she wouldn’t complain about it! Although maybe a schedule between girls and boys to use the bathroom should be made, at least for taking showers! She kept it in mind to present her suggestion to the group after all of them had arrived.

"I think they'd be pretty standard, right?" The new girl with green eyes said. “Maybe, that doesn’t mean they are not too much fancy for camping!” Ying made notice, “But is Hogwarts after all, and we do not fail in hospitality and the art of well receiving our guests!” She added with a hint of challenge amusement in her voice crossing her arms and walking to the sofa, resting her side in its back

“Soooo, are you all looking forward to summer camp? Is it normal to be in these campgrounds? I’ve only ever been to the London Quidditch Stadium.” The Durmstrang boy asked to the group. Like in the first time they have met it seemed his energy was too much to kept contained in his body. "Same. The stadium was fun though, I'm excited to see what activities they've thought up this time around! Plus the sports are always great... do you play?" Ying heard the bright haired girl ask to Slava and so her attention changed from that pair to the others in the room when she heard a “thum” load noise.

Apparently Vlad had assisted to the dark haired girl with cute pointy ears in moving her heavy trunk. "Gosh, with the weight of that trunk, I hope that you brought some butterbeer," he joked and Ying felt expectant to know if his guess was right. Bringing butterbeer would have been a wicked idea! But sadly no, that hadn’t been the case! Actually, looking closer, Ying recognised the handle of a broom looking tree peeking from inside of it. Memories of a similar item hitting her in a stomach hit her mind…to not mention that adventure it has occurred after it! Anyway…it was in the pass now.

“Sorry, I must have forgotten the butterbeer. Hogsmeade isn't far, though," the girl replied and introduced herself as Serena. What a beautiful name! Ying thought. There was no way she wouldn’t sympathise with her, specially after the choco and candy offer! What child would stay indifferent to it? Not her! “Thanks Serena! You’re awesome!” She replied choosing a candy wrapped in a royal blue shiny paper and plopping again in her bed and give it a small bite. “Delicious!” She stated enthusiastically, “I can’t wait to be able to go to Hogsmeade too!” She admitted. As a muggle born, she only could rely on what others described the place to be. And she couldn’t stop feel jealous of her brother that would be able to visit it first then her.

“It’s lovely to meet you too Kit!” Ying friendly replied, “Beauxbatons?” She asked, “seems we are having all schools represented in our cabin! Wonder who else will arrive to make us company!”

Summer, summer, sweet summer... Well, probably not for Alexander. There were few things on earth he truly nauseated, and the heat was among them. His white skin was extremely sensitive to the rays of the sun, and his coloured eyes were equally vulnerable to the sun's attacks. Since he was very fond of smelling good, furthermore, even the mere thought of sweating was enough to dampen him. Alas, there was little to do, and Alex was wise enough to accept the situations he was not able to change. His first and foremost self-assigned duty throughout the season was to make his summer days as tolerable as possible. Thinking so much about the summer, he started humming the first song that came to his mind, "this is the coastal town / that they forgot to close down"

When he heard that he had gotten assigned to the Hippogriff Cabin, Alexander was not particularly satisfied as Augurey had always been his favourite among the winged creatures for one reason or another. But this was another situation out of his control. He silently entered the cabin, and he felt slightly unpleased. "Where am I," was his initial thought upon examining the room, "in the Gryffindor Common Room?"

There were a considerable number of people present in the cabin, and apparently, they had a chance to establish rapport with one another until Alex made his entrance. Owing to the manner in which his granny had raised him, Alex harboured a strong aversion to being abruptly thrust into other's conversations. Quite gracefully, he descended his petite suitcase floating in the air under the effect of the Levitation Charm near one of the bunk beds. The belongings he had brought there were pretty few, allowing him to unpack them from his suitcase in less than five minutes.

As he started walking towards the common area, he realised how many older boys were around. He also noticed that they also had fairly handsome faces. Among them, Alexander observed a nearly adult-looking boy with blond hair, displaying gentlemanly behaviour by helping a girl carry her suitcase. There was another, full of energy - and he caught Alex's attention as his chattering voice resonated inside the cabin, speaking with a distinct Russian accent. "Pull yourself together," Alex embarrassingly admonished, "your intention in coming here was not to perpetuate your inclination toward older boys."

So Alex decided to talk to one of his fellow badgers, who sat to the side and was deeply engrossed in her book. He had crossed paths with Aurora many times before, but their interactions, to be honest, had been limited so far. "Hey," Alexander softly uttered, seizing the moment and thinking this might be a good opportunity. "They must have hired Godric Gryffindor himself to design this cabin," he remarked, hoping to start a conversation.

I watched from behind my book as more people started to trickle in. None of them I actually recognised, except for a young Hufflepuff who I recognised, since I saw him around. I forgot his name, though, but I'm to blame for that, I always had trouble with names. I brought the book in front of my face, like when people in muggle movies hold a newspaper up to hide their face when they're hiding or trying to spy on somebody. Of course, I wasn't spying or hiding...or am I?

Just kidding, I'm really not(I am), but just getting here and having to drag my bags all the way here took a lot out of me, and I either wanted to read or snore all afternoon. Probably the latter. But I can't, you can't sleep at a meet and greet! Of course, I wasn't doing much "meeting and greeting", but I might sometime today. However, I wasn't expecting somebody to strike up a conversation with me right at this very moment, so when I realised that I had been addressed by the Hufflepuff boy, I threw my book up into the air with surprise. It hit me on the head.

"Ow," I muttered, placing my book behind me. "Oh, sorry about that, nice to meet you, um, what's your name again?" What an excellent way to start a conversation... "Oh, yeah, the cabin looks very Gryffindor-y, it's like we travelled back in time to a Gryffindor-themed pocket universe. To be honest, if I were the designer, I'd do a lot less red and much more yellow," I said, chuckling. I hoped that the fellow badger would get the joke.

"I'm Aurora, by the way, but you probably already know that. Though, I most often go by Ro." Okay, that was a good introduction for a meet and greet. I guess that there was no way I was going to be able to snooze all afternoon now...

Writing as approved Durmstrang iNPC Vyacheslav Aleksandrovich Preobrazhensky

Ying responded positively to Slava’s greeting, cheerfully acknowledging him as “the glitter boy”. “That’s me!” He grinned. “But just Slava’s fine. Nice to see you too!” He high-fived her since she had raised a hand presumably for that purpose, smiling back at her. She would surely be a fun companion in their time here—even if she was a lot younger, she had the energy and fun-loving nature to be a decent friend or at least pleasant to hang out with every now and then. When he teased Miles, Ying laughed, with a "You sure you want to walk that road?" He shot a grin at her. “Who would I be without a love for my Durmstrang teammates? I’m sure we can handle whatever their team can throw at us.” If Miles looked at him, it would be clear that Slava was just messing around and that there was no ill-will present, at least on his end. Just a bit of friendly competition on the basis of school spirit.

A girl (Aurora) entered the cabin and, after claiming a bed, sat down in the common area, starting to read without a word. Not the most sociable, then, but that was okay. Slava would just have to coax her out of her shell. He was about to go say hi to her when another girl (Serena) arrived, drawing his oh-so-variable attention to her instead. Her gaze lingered on him—he wondered why, since he wasn’t wearing makeup or anything particularly unusual, although she did look vaguely familiar—and he waved hello from his spot on the sofa, but his line of sight was soon obstructed by the older-looking boy, who had introduced himself to Ying as Vlad, stepping in front of him. Bit rude, but whatever. If he wanted to talk to her, that was fine.

While trying to decide who to talk to next, another girl (Kit)’s voice was answering his questions, commenting that the cabins should be pretty standard. “This is like luxury, have you even seen the rest of it?” he prompted, sounding vaguely in awe. Ying said something similar to him and he nodded. She added a comment about the hospitality of Hogwarts. She wasn’t wrong, although he couldn’t help but think of that rude, blood purist girl he had met during his last visit here. But that was just a one-off, right? The other people he had met were much nicer, even if some of them were a bit boring.

The newest girl (Kit) had apparently also attended a summer camp at the London Quidditch Stadium, although he hadn’t met her before. “I’m excited too! And yes, I play Quidditch for Durmstrang. I was a Beater but I am a Keeper at the moment. And you?” Their attention was quickly grabbed by the vaguely familiar-looking girl offering sweets and introducing herself as Serena. “Alriiiight!” he exclaimed enthusiastically. “This is very kind of you, Serena.” He got up and cheerfully took some sweets. “Shame I don’t have anything to offer in return.” At this point, he noticed her copper earpieces and pointy ears. “Hey! I like your, uh, ear metal? I’m sorry, I don’t know the word. It is very pretty. It looks like wings.” He smiled.

The girl he had previously been talking to (Kit) asked if Serena would go to the “Sugar Fair” today. Slava questioningly tilted his head slightly to one side, flopping back down on the sofa. “Sugar Fair? What is that?” He popped a sweet in his mouth. Ying said that she couldn’t wait to go to Hogsmeade and Slava frowned. “Why can’t you go now?” He vaguely remembered the name being somewhere he had travelled to before, but he was unfamiliar with the Hogwarts rule about students below third year being unable to attend. At that moment, Kit finally introduced herself and stated she was from Beauxbatons. “I am Slava from Durmstrang,” he offered in return, giving anyone who had missed or hadn’t remembered his name a second chance.

He smiled at the cabin’s occupants, glancing over at a boy whose arrival he hadn’t paid attention to (Alexander) who was talking to the quiet girl from before (Aurora). “Hey! You guys want to come join us? Serena has sweets!” It seemed, so far, that the atmosphere in the cabin was pleasant, and he hoped it would stay that way. He had the possibility to make so many new friends from this cabin over the course of a month! The more the merrier, in his opinion, regardless of what backgrounds they came from. As long as they could tolerate each other and had a bit of a fun-loving spirit buried somewhere, that was good enough for him. He sighed softly, contentedly leaning further back into the sofa, leg bouncing.

─────The school year had finally come to an end, meaning it was time to pack her trunk and head to the campgrounds. Taking a last look out the window onto the lake, the Slytherin momentarily wondered what summer camp was going to be like before hauling her trunk out of the basements to the Campgrounds. Her trunk was particularly heavy, and she had barely managed to seal it shut, as well as drag it towards her cabin, which Lilliana found out is the Hippogriff cabin. It was only after she reached the entrance of her new cabin that she came to the realization that she was a witch.

Grumbling to herself, Lilliana opened the door, gazing around the space before taking a step in. “It’s so… red,” Lilliana said, hastily saying red instead of what what in her head, Gryffindork, but the blond haired girl’s intentions weren’t to make enemies in the first few minutes of staying there. Other than the overwhelming amount of red the cabin beheld, Lilliana found the place quite to her liking. It looked nicer than her original idea of what their cabin would look like, and certainly larger.

Heading to a bunk that appeared unclaimed, Lilliana neatly placed her trunk beside the bed, then sharply spun around, pale hair swishing behind her, looking at the others in her cabin. Most of the people looked considerably older, she recognized Aurora, who she gave a friendly wave to. “I’m Lilliana, by the way,” She remarked to the unfamiliar ones, perching herself comfortably on her bed.

Interacting with @Serena Towers and @Vladimir Athanatos

The summer camp, one of the few events that actually didn't go wrong at Hogwarts. They were more tolerable compared to balls which were always quite cramped and by the end chaotic, so it was a nice change to be able to sit back and relax. Considering the mess that happened this year, Gray probably needed it more than anyone else with the departure of San. So, with a colder aura than usual, he finally made it to his cabin where he'd be staying for the month. Who knew what fiends would be awaiting him inside?

Gray sighed to himself as he walked through the front door of the cabin with Cormac on his shoulders, contempt and comfortable in the position he was in. The Slytherin took a moment to gaze at some of the faces before walking down the hall toward an empty bed. If he had the choice he'd be more than willing to be in a room alone, but of course the school was eager for all of them to bunk together.

As he went along many had already been taken, but it was only when he saw the back of a familiar foe did he finally stop in his tracks. Percival glared at the boy with no emotion, not bothering to waste an ounce of energy showing any reaction to his appearance. For a long time Gray thought he had gone missing, yet it appears they managed to finally drag him out of the dark hole he had been hiding in all this time.

Dropping his back by the door and letting Cormac jump off to investigate the room, he went up behind the Russian to give him the standard Gray welcome "Hello there, Vlad" Percival said with a lick of venom in his tone, something that would gain his attention "Who would have thought we'd be in the same cabin... again" he said with a light smirk on his face before looking over to Serena, a girl who probably didn't think of him too fondly.

"Serena... always a pleasure to meet you" the boy muttered almost sarcastically while snapping his head to Cormac who was getting increasingly closer to pizza rat "Cormac, he is not food... move it" he ordered to the cat with almost little care. In response, Cormac swished his tail at Percival and strolled towards the door to find food elsewhere. Watching him leave, he finally looked back to the pair with a shake of his head.

"I'm surprised no one has attacked him yet. Last year everyone was trying to stab him in the back and hound him with every chance they could get"

Interactions: Anyone who's willing. Hugh's mostly focused on Serena when he enters.

As sweets were offered and passed around the cabin, a larger shadow entered the room. The shadow itself was not impressive by itself, it was rather the height of the individual it belonged to. Hugh quietly stared at the various students that were busy 'mixing' with each other. There were a handful of faces he recognized right off the bat. Ying for starters was on his team and Gray was a broomracer as well. There was no denying who Vlad was, however, though his presence was... strange. Last Hugh read, that kid was supposed to be dead. And if not dead, at the very least damned to be. That whole family had cursed blood.

And he was talking to Serena, who did not seem to understand who she was talking to. Not one word in from him, and already Hugh felt like this place was a box of dynamite. A dead man and a recently outed goblin. At the very least, it was good to see Serena's ears out. The time for pride had come, though both of them expected trouble from this, he'd bet. People don't like their kind too much. And especially an Athanatos could not be trusted with powerful blood.

Hugh walked forward, offering a silent nod to anyone willing to look in his direction. He never knew which one it'd be. Either they couldn't stop staring, or they ignored him all together. Like an ugly tree that was ruining their picture. He threw his bag in what seemed like an empty bunk next to Serena's. "That one wasn't taken, was it?" Hugh asked into the room, though he kept Vlad and Serena in his peripheral.

It was going to be Serena's last camp. That's the reason he made an effort to show up. Because that's what friends do. So as a friend, he was going to stick around. Even if every hair on his body was standing up straight and telling him to take the next train back home in West-Scotland. Now he felt like a whale stranded on a beach. Though, he could turn into a cornered bear anytime he wanted to.

Upon witnessing Ro's reaction, an inept grin appeared on the boy's lips. "Alex," he answered the question in a coy way. "I am afraid my name is so easy to forget." Having waited for a second, "And I might be one of those invisible people, I reckon." the boy said, taking shelter once again in the humorous side of self-deprecation. "How wonderful being British is," he thought, "one can always find the best excuses for other people." He defied the forceful cultural pressure ordering him to apologise to Aurora for not revealing his name at the beginning of their conversation. It was difficult, though, proper difficult.

Nevertheless, he chuckled with the girl at her joke. "My, my, a Gryffindor-themed packed universe," he exclaimed amusingly, "it's clear now what will haunt my dreams this very night." He could not help but imagine a world where everyone had red hair and was ridiculously eager to show off their bravery in every single thinkable way. A flawless dystopia that would be, Alexander concluded his semi-dream. And yet that was the everlasting doom recurring itself continuously for a quarter of the Hogwarts population. How sad.

"Anyway," Alexander said at last with a radiant face, "it's a pleasure meeting you as well, I mean properly." They had shared the same place many times before, starting from the very day they both were sorted into Hufflepuff, Alexander remembered. But how on earth Alexander could 'meet and greet' every single fellow badger of him wandering around, and why on earth should he have wanted to undertake such a daunting endeavour? Every proper meeting should wait its own time - that was the lesson of the day.

Having heard the energetic sound of the boy with the distinct Russian accent, "Count me in," Alexander answered him gently and then turned his face to Ro to discover whether she'd be interested in swallowing some candies at least as much as reading a book in a seclusive manner or not. "I am quite tempted by this offer, and I do really fancy some sweets," he said to the girl with a playful expression on his face as if he was confessing his sins. "You can accompany me on my journey towards the delicious little sweets if you want. Or, shall I bring you some on my way back?"

“Better alone than in bad company.”
—Brazilian proverb

Manu wasn't quite sure why she had returned to the summer camp in the United Kingdom, to be quite honest. Last year's experience in the Quidditch stadium in Britain had been... less than ideal, to say the least, and Manu had left vowing to never return to the Hogwarts students' domain. Sure, she'd made a few friends - kept in touch with one of them, even, the Ravenclaw flower girl from her cabin, at least until Aly's letters had abruptly stopped coming in December and Manu had considered that to be the end of that short-lived friendship - but overall the month of camp had left something to be desired. She'd lost in duelling and in the triathlon, Castelobruxo in general had done poorly in the sporting field, and, of course, she'd had to deal with her mortal enemies being housed in the same cramped tent as her all summer.

And yet, she'd signed up again when the list had come back out.

If there was one thing to be said about Manuela Macedo, it was that she did not give up so easy.

(Plus, she was pretty sure that there were much fewer Castelobruxo students signed up for the camp this year, which meant a higher chance that she'd actually be amongst people whose company she could enjoy. And someone had to show up for and represent her school. Why not her?)

Upon arriving to the camp, Manu discovered that this year was actually being held at Hogwarts proper, on the campgrounds of their school. All right, sure, the large stone castle rising out of the ground in the distance was pretty, although not as lovely as the solid gold pyramid of Castelobruxo... but... Meu Deus My God, they had to give the Hogwarts kids another reason to lord over the rest of us? Camp in their country wasn't bad enough, now it's at their school, too?

She was assigned to the Hippogriff cabin - a noble creature, sure, though it was nowhere near the llamas that Manu had tended for years at her home academy. Escorted there by an unfamiliar adult, Manu eyed the golden and red decorations, with a hearty dose of wood, as she stepped inside and took it all in; this was nothing like the thatch-and-stone Castelobruxo housing she was used to, or like her tiny room back home in Rio, for that matter. It was all just so... warm. Cozy. Homey, almost, if it hadn't been so unfamiliar.

At least she'd get her own bed and space. That much Manu could appreciate.

A total of ten other students, plus a lone adult, were already inside; some in the common area, others by their bunks. Manu gave each of them a cursory glance before moving to the bunks lining the wall herself, making a beeline for the one on the very end, next to the wall. It was always good to be in the corner of a room, in her opinion - you could see everyone, and hide more easily, all in one. Luckily, the end bunk seemed empty, and Manu hefted her trunk onto it with a grunt of strength. There - now it was claimed, and she was certain to have only one person on a side of her, rather than two.

More neighbours risked worse neighbours, and Manu would have rathered been alone than in bad company.

Still not speaking to anyone, she deftly flipped the latches on her trunk and threw it open, beginning to organise and unpack while still keeping an eye on those in other areas of the cabin, at least those she could see. Her English had vastly improved since last year, but understanding what everyone else was saying would still be a difficult gambit for her to run.

Yeah, this seemed like a good cabin. Her first impression had been taken well by the girl as she got a smile back, Kit's own grin growing bigger with the acknowledgement before leaning back a little on her bunk. She was already in the Beauxbatons student's good graces with that, certain that camp would be amazing if others were as agreeable as her cabinmate. Everyone else got the benefit of the doubt that they'd also be rather friendly since it currently seemed like it with her very cursory glance around.

"I have not yet unfortunately, no." Her more recent arrival hadn't left much time to explore and the mistake of sitting down meant it would take more energy to get up and moving again. She was perfectly content just swinging her legs and relaxing for now, but exploring around the cabin was now a higher priority task than it had been. "That is true, far fancier than I expected when they said cabins." She bowed her head lightly in acknowledgement. Cabins suggested rustic and while the color scheme and design still offered that similar homey feeling, it was to an elevated level. How elevated it would feel after a month and a dozen roommates was yet to be determined, but she figured they'd make it work somehow. Kit did agree with the hospitality- it was Hogwarts who set up these camps after all for the various schools and she had had a pleasant experience so far.

"Ah, Quidditch! I play as well, Chaser for Beauxbatons. Quite the position change though, how is it now without the bat?" Perhaps not as much of a change as Beater to Seeker, but she wouldn't have expected such a transition. How long did it take to adjust to dodging bludgers instead of hitting them? Regardless, she'd have to keep him in mind in case she wanted some practice tips or to learn about being a Beater or Keeper. Chaser was fun for now, but trying out for others also seemed intriguing.

"Oh! I think kind of what the name suggests, a fair or carnival to get candy? But I'm not actually too sure, I just heard mentions of it since it's happening later today." She shrugged, hoping that her assumptions were accurate on the event- the girl hadn't actually stopped to consider what it might mean until the question but it sounded like fun whatever it may be. She got his name in return, a smile and nod in acknowledgement- Slava. Kit wasn't sure she had received a name from the other girl (Ying), but the comment was thoughtful nonetheless. "Just about. Guess we'll find out soon enough!"

And soon enough it would be as more entered into the Hippogriff Club. It seemed the new group either already had friends in the cabin or weren't as open to conversation. "Welcome welcome!" She'd offer a wave to the one who introduced herself as Liliana and nodded in understanding when another (Alexander) was bribed by the offer of sweets. The one who immediately ran over to unpack would only get a quick glance in her direction, but the others who had joined Serena and thus were in closer proximity or association with the candy would grab a little more of her attention. A nod was offered in return to the towering figure before her attention was brought closer to the floor and the cats/rats in the cabin. She hadn't expected pets would be allowed in, but where else were they meant to be?
