It only took a moment before his words caught up with Aleks. In which time he'd gotten a scrutinizing once-over from Aleks friend with the less messy curls, like he was judging Gabi from his messy bedhead all the way down to his unlaced shoes. Gabi returned with a dry, pointed look—brows furrowed just slightly. Like he was silently asking, "What's your fucking problem?" The boy has said nothing so far, and ultimately Gabi didn't give enough fucks to pick a fight with him. Yet, anyway. There was still plenty of time for that.

Gabi got to watch in real-time as heat crept up Aleks cheeks and he stumbled for words, not realizing that:yep, he knew all about his fall of shame into his lawn. Before he had an opportunity to scramble for a coherent sentence, Gabriele enlightened him, thoroughly amused. "Dude, we literally got cameras all over the place. We-" meaning him, his parents and all of his siblings, "-saw all of it." The italian flashed an impish smirk, dragging his gaze lazily over the Slytherin. "Thanks for the snacks, by the way." Not fucking ranch, for once.

When that embarrassing (but hilarious) story and game mechanics were out of the way, some introductions were made in an overtly polite way. Jesus, he was here to dare people to streak across the school grounds, not because he was dying to make besties. Not that he ever had one of those. Anyway, he didn't bother to introduce himself, neither did he really have to when a few strays joined the group.

One of them he recognized from the Hufflepuff common room and classes. Nova, or something. Then came a Slytherin boy with an attitude shitty enough to rival Gabi’s own, at least in regard to this game. Though he kept his distance—like he still hadn’t decided if the rest of them were worth the association. No surprised there, coming from a Slytherin. Obviously he wasn't a stranger to being a bitch, but when people acted like they were better than everyone else without the credits to back it up, that pissed him off. Some might say the same about Gabriele — that they were two shades of the same asshole — and maybe that’s exactly why it irritated him.

Gabriele rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest. “Yeah, go ahead, start us off. You look like you’ve been rehearsing your big moment all day.”

“I wasn’t planning to,” he said, voice even and tone thoughtful. “I just didn’t want to miss the fun.”

Caspian pushed himself a little closer to the cluster of students. The air out here was different — cooler than the castle corridors. Just sharp enough to wake you up. Just sharp enough to make you feel present.

His gaze swept over the makeshift setup — the crate pressed into service as a table, the snacks nestled around it in surprisingly neat rows, the worn rope coiled with theatrical potential.

“The whole setup’s surprisingly well thought-out,” he remarked, his voice carrying a thread of genuine approval. “More well put together than I thought it would be.”

He let his gaze drift across the group again, brows lifting faintly in quiet surprise. “Honestly... I didn’t think this many people would actually show up.”

His eyes darted subtly to one of the boys standing there, a grin on his face. Presumably the one who organized the game. When Caspian had seen the poster on one of the billboards around Hogwarts, he hadn't thought that he'd actually participate.

But between doing multiple essays and doing a few easy dares, he picked the latter. Obviously.

She nodded politely towards Aiden in acknowledgement, though the conversation steered towards two other boys. There was this talk of fun, yet nothing seemed to be happening. Her sharp, analytical gaze slowly faded into one of hollow disinterest as she watched the interaction between Caspian and Gabriele, though she did not know either of their names. The edge of the viaduct seemed to beckon Sinclair—the cold rush of air, the deep void, and the subtle shimmer of water at the bottom. She wondered if jumping off would even do anything for her. Finding the right timing for the slowing charm may thrill her just enough. Hypothetically. In her mind's eye, she saw herself plunging to the bottom.

Why am I even here?

She slipped her hand into her pocket, thumb running over the gnarled surface of an antler ring. There was indeed a lot of people. More than she expected, really. The gathering had a certain normalcy, a mundanity that should have soothed her, but this growing party was out of the kid's comfort zone. Sinclair felt awkward towards these young faces. Unfamiliar. Nothing about these people felt as magnetizing as Syrah was, and she had to wonder if something else was wrong with herself because of it. It was not that Sinclair thought of her peers as beneath her, but rather that they'd likely not get along. She did not have the energy to deal with the absence of intrigue, and whatever abrasive, unwelcoming vibe Gabriele was emitting. Perhaps she herself was unwelcoming too, but she was not very aware of it.

The girl didn't feel quite ready to socialise, but at least she tried to make an attempt to include herself in Hogwarts happenings. A calm, silent sigh pushed from her lungs in a huff of white, and Sinclair's pale fingers sunk into her unruly dark hair as she rubbed the side of her neck in consideration. Her hand paused in a moment of decision, then slipped into her other pocket.

"...I've realised I have somewhere else to be," she stated simply, "Enjoy yourselves." Without waiting for a response, she headed back towards the castle.
