It was relatively rare that Eliseo actually made his way into the castle. He much preferred scuttling around the expansive grounds that required his tending to. But there were occasionally things beyond food that piqued his interest and would get the strange Groundskeeper to waddle their way into Hogwarts castle. This was one such occasion.
While he had no intention of infringing on the decorative abilities and talents of the students, Eliseo did wish to see what sorts of glorious decorum was being tossed about the Great Hall. While not directly a part of the LGBTQ+ community, he did have a great fondness for seeing the students express their true selves in a safe space. He would always be an ally for the students and expressions of identity. More than that, Eliseo knew that pride was particularly important to his beloved Zoë. So of course Eliseo needed to make a quick appearance with her to show his support to the hard working students.
While his entire wardrobe was that of a 1920s gangster, Eliseo thought this would not be fitting to show his support. Getting a large tub, Eliseo spent some time dying one of his white long sleeve shirts a deep pink, dark blue and lavender. It was a poor dying job but he was proud of his makeshift pride shirt. After donning the now multi-colored shirt, he of course pulled on his vests and hats to at least tie the outfit together. Leaving his cabin, Eliseo made sure to fly a pride flag from the roof of his little abode before strolling off to meet with Zoë. He made sure to fill his pockets with a few stray rocks…Just in case.
Meeting Zoë just outside the Great Hall, he happily embraced the woman taking in every beautiful detail of her perfect ensemble. As usual it seemed that the woman had an outfit perfectly assembled for the occasion. “Radiant as ever,” Eliseo said with a grin as he pulled away. “Shall we?”
Following Zoë into the Great Hall, Eliseo immediately began to marvel at the illustriously marvelous decor that had already begun to conquer the hall and its many tables. Students seemed to be happily bustling about and some appeared lost in conversation and delectable snacks. It seemed, in true Hogwarts fashion, there was plenty of food strewn about and Eliseo had to control a sudden impulse to begin throwing food at the students. He did quite enjoy tossing things at them. But he doubted the lovely children and Professor would appreciate a sudden impromptu battle of rainbow snacks.
As he peered around at the room, Eliseo could also spot the fantastic Professor Horne who had organized the effort. Drawing his wand, Eliseo pointed it at himself and quickly cast the amplifying charm to magnify his voice. “ALO PROFESSOR HORNE…THE HALL IS LOOKING…MAGNIFICENT! YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF!” The voice boomed from the usually quiet Eliseo as he stood happily smiling at Zoë’s side.

There was a giddiness in Zoë as she hastily got ready to make a quick appearance in the Great Hall. Well, hasty was a relative term. She had spent what seemed like a couple of hours trying on half of her wardrobe to find the perfect outfit to show her pride and her support of any LGBTQIA+ students or staff. As a Bi woman herself, she knew how important it was to have a supportive community and she thought decorating the Great Hall to represent the month of pride was a perfect way to allow the students to show their solidarity and express their own identities.
After what began to seem like a considerable effort, Zoë happily settled on her outfit. Admiring herself in the mirror for a moment, she couldn’t help but give a giddy little twirl in her full rainbow dress with a matching overcoat and a pair of gold woven heels that she never had an excuse to wear until now. She normally would have tried to sneak away to find some muggle pride parade but having the chance to show a bit of pride at the school she adored was something she wasn’t going to miss.
When she had heard that Professor Horne would be hosting a little Pride decorating festivity in the Great Hall, Zoë knew she had to be there. Even if just to observe. She tried her best to not intrude on the errands of her peers but this one could not be missed. Where else around the castle would she have an excuse to dress like a rainbow with legs? Surprisingly, she had even gotten Eliseo to agree to join her in crashing the Great Hall. He was a rather elusive man but she knew that he did everything he could to always be supportive.
Hurrying through the castle halls towards the Great Hall, she impatiently fidgeted with her dress as she waited for Eliseo. A smile became tattooed across her face as she saw the ever-curiously dressed Groundskeeper. He still looked plucked out of the 1920s but it was clear that he had made an effort to dye his shirt in the Bi colors. It was the thought that counted, even if she made a note to herself to teach him how to properly dye clothing.
“Thank you, love. But have you seen yourself?” Zoë smiled as she embraced the man before grabbing his hand to lead him inside the Great Hall to catch a little peek at the hard-working and prideful students. Immediately Zoë gave a few short giddy hops as she entered the room and was bombarded by the incredible decorations. It warmed every part of her being to see so many students showing up to express their own pride or support for the community. There looked to be adorably themed snacks and treats spread throughout the hall and Zoë knew that she would have to make sure to try as much as possible.
She didn’t want to intrude too much on the happily working students, so Zoë looked over the room for a sign of the amazing professor. She caught sight of the woman and began to adamantly wave before suddenly lurching at the loud noise beside her. She felt her cheeks flush red as Eliseo essentially started yelling his greeting in the hall. She really couldn’t take him anywhere nice.

Colin threw down the coloured pencil with an excited whoop of delight! Rainbows were easy to draw and colour, regardless of what meaning one might ascribe to them, and after making a few particoloured decorations for the Hall, he decided to put his talent to better use. The last little while, really since Sophia had arrived, he'd been working feverishly on a portrait. He stood up on the bench and waved the large poster sized paper in front of his friends. "Hey Hunter!! Look! I made a picture of you and Gingersnaps with your fancy capes and everything!"
He held it up against his chest and gave them a bright smile, showing them all his fangs. "I hope P'fessor Horne hangs this up in the Hall! Because I'm proud to have both of you as my friends --- ye two are aboot the gayest and bonniest lass and demilass A know!" He hoped they'd like his artwork.
And it was just then Colin caught sight of an older student jump down from a chair and wave over their way. He heard her complimenting the Hufflepuff table and she sounded very keen and excited. Of course, she would! She was a Hufflepuff! He couldn't help but return her hearty greeting with an energetic one of his own: "Hullo! Badger girl!" She'd been putting up a lot of the decorations. "Give your wand a rest --- you two have been busy all this time!"
He gave her a smile and sat back down, looking around at all the hard work she'd put into turning the place into the inside of a rainbow!

"Well Colin," they grinned happily. "It's Pride Month! A month to celebrate everything LGBTQ+ ! I believe that Professor Horne has organised this to help decorate the Great Hall. And I'm making posters!" They gestured at the leaflet that was already coloured in, and at the one they were currently making (bisexual).
As Colin yelled as loud as he humanly could- God that kid could be louder than Pax sometimes- over at Sophia, Pax laughed at his antics, before continuing with the posters. So far, they'd only made a small dent in the hundreds of sheets of paper they had grabbed initially, and if they wanted any chance of handing these out, they'd have to be faster in the production quality.
As they leaned forwards to grab some more colored markers, they felt a tug at their cape pull them back, before a sharp release that made them almost fall from the bench.
"Oi! Watch out, this majestic flag is incredibly expensive- Sophia! Hi!" They changed tone instantly, seeing the ginger- haired girl on the ground, looking up (a little pathetically) at them and Colin. Budging up, they patted the seat next to them for Sophia to sit.
"Glad you could join us Soph! Why the clever disguise? All you had to do was come over and be with us, you know sis!"
"Yeah, Ginger-snaps, what's up with the cloak? It's not Halloween," they added. "It does suit you quite well, though, I must admit." They absent-mindedly added as they continued to add more leaflets to the ever-growing pile to their right.
Looking up, they took notice of the artwork Colin had drawn, and grinned. "Thanks, Col," they smiled. "Looks really cool!"
Suddenly, he jumped up and ran off, leaving Sophia and Pax alone at the table. Oddly enough, Pax didn't try to begin a conversation, focussing instead on completing these leaflets. They'd made it through about half the stack by now, working at a rapid pace but still somehow being able to make the posters look presentable. Since they'd gotten through half the stack, they decided to repeat themselves with the flags they'd done, so more of the same information would be distributed. Of course, it wouldn't do much good if only one person knew about each gender or sexuality, would it?Reducio

Sophia frowned at Colin's new nickname. Ginger Snaps was fine, because her hair was red, but Red Riding Hood didn't quite fit, did it? Though, if, as Colin said, he was the Big Bad Wolf, she could go along with it.
"What's down, is more like! Whatcha doin on the floor Sophikins, eh?" Colin retorted to her brief, sheepish greeting.
Sophia scoffed and grinned mirthfully and Colin, "I didn't mean to be on the floor, Colin. I just tripped - Sorry about the cape, by the way, Pax. It's very nice to see you. Both of you."
"Glad you could join us Soph! Why the clever disguise? All you had to do was come over and be with us, you know sis!"
"Yeah, Ginger-snaps, what's up with the cloak? It's not Halloween. It does suit you quite well, though, I must admit," Pax added, which made Sophia frown. She rubbed the fabric of her robes between two fingers, pulling the cloth in front of her, so that she could examine it more closely.
"It- it's just my s-school robes," she muttered, thoroughly confused. She frowned thoughtfully. "I don't know, to be honest. I just -"
...felt strange about being here for some reason, she wanted to say, but she couldn't bring the words to her mouth. Instead she just trailed off. She searched for some way to change the subject.
Well, now that the gig was up, and she was found, she might as well check out what the two were doing. She eyed the drawings on the table - and smiled when Colin offered some paper and - oof - quills to her. She still wasn't confident with the feathery tools of writing and artistry. She much preferred the muggle pens she kept in her trunk in the dorms, but she couldn't be picky.
"I love these," she said with a grin, nodding toward their posters.
Colin eagerly showed her a drawing he'd made of her and Pax, wearing matching capes. She wasn't sure if Colin understood the significance of the cape to Pax, but Sophia was quite proud to be wearing it at their side, even if it was in a drawing.
"Hey Hunter!! Look! I made a picture of you and Gingersnaps with your fancy capes and everything! I hope P'fessor Horne hangs this up in the Hall! Because I'm proud to have both of you as my friends --- ye two are aboot the gayest and bonniest lass and demilass A know!"
His words were so kind, that she overlooked him calling her a gay lass. He had no way of knowing about her weird feelings, so he was probably using some weird, Scottish slang or something. She recognized the word 'bonny' as Scottish slang, and of course she recognized 'lass,' so this wasn't a big deal.
"I love you so much, Collie. It's beautiful. Look at all this," she commented as she looked around the Great Hall, almost as if she was only just realizing how many people there truly were there.
It was strange, she'd had no idea that so many in the school celebrated Pride. She'd known she may see Kim here - though if she hadn't, she'd have assumed it was because he was only secretly gay. Of course she'd expected to see Pax here, since their gender identity was - rightfully - very important to them. But there were so many people in the room that she didn't see too often.
Not only students, too! The groundskeeper - whom she'd never met - and the charms professor were here as well! Between them, and Professor Horne, it was pretty inspirational to see three whole adult teachers celebrating it. It made her feel a lot less strange - and guilty - about her own traitorous thoughts. And, as strange as it felt to admit it, it made her feel less lonely. Sneaking around because she didn't have a reason for being here - in her own mind, at least - was very lonely, after all.
But maybe it was okay that she didn't have a reason to be here. She was having fun sitting with Colin and Pax, and she was perfectly content to just draw and celebrate Pride with her presence. Why'd she been embarrassed before? It didn't make sense, now that she thought about it.
Colin left his seat abruptly, addressing some Hufflepuff girl in the distance, but Sophia didn't even bat an eye. She knew how outgoing her Collie was. She was just happy to see him being happy.
She turned to Pax and rested her head on their shoulder, smiling happily.
"Where are you guys gonna hang those?" she asked curiously.

Regina's reaction to Faye made Kim raise a brow.
It wasn't very often that one could catch Regina off guard like this and it was a sight to see.
Could she have actually stuttered right there? As Regina went on to explain she didn't like sweets, Kim's lips parted and he looked at her, surprised by this. "You don't like sweets? How can that be?" He exclaimed, not sure how he felt about this. But one thing was for certain, he wasn't going to let her be when it came to sweets. "I'll have to remedy that later." Kim told her, already planning things out for this. Then, Regina returned to her work.
But when Kim asked Faye if she wanted to help them, Regina immediately offered to let her help with her own centerpiece. He let his eyes flicker over her for a few seconds. Was there something between the two of them? Kim couldn't help but wonder because Regina was behaving very strangely, considering how she usually was. It was almost as if... she was interested in Faye... and was trying to deny this. A faint smirk came to his lips at the thought.
It would be pretty fun if that was the case.
He could tease her about it later on when they were alone. Kim was good at teasing people.
Kim watched as Faye dipped her lollypop into the sherbert fizzy powder and reacted to the sourness. Those were pretty fun to do. He loved all sweets and desserts though and would always try anything once to see how they tasted to decide where to rank them inside his mind and down on paper. "You like the sour ones the most?" Kim asked Faye, curious. "No, it's not a Gryffindor thing, although I've seen many Gryffindors take part in it."
"Pride is a month where people celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and gather together to make things relating to it. Rainbows usually seem to represent this." He told her and his lips twitched as Faye spoke to Regina about sweets too. "Yeah, I don't get it either. We should team up and try to get Regina to come to like sweets! I'm sure we can find at least one thing she would like." Kim said to Faye as he thought.
If Regina didn't like sweets...
Did that mean she didn't like them to be too sweet? Or was it something else she disliked?
"What is it about sweets you don't like? That they're too sweet?" Kim asked. He was curious. But then, Regina's attention turned to Faye and her work and it seemed as if she'd totally forgotten about his own presence. Due to this, Kim was even more convinced the girl harbored feelings, or at least attraction, for Faye now. He'd leave them be while he worked on his own centerpiece. Kim folded the papers, according to the instructions there.
Once done, Kim picked up the fake flowers and selected a variety of colors. He placed them into the vase and started to rearrange them. It didn't take him long to do and finally he had them exactly how he wanted them. Picking up the paper flower he'd made, he placed it into the middle of the vase and leaned back to look at his creation. Yes, it looked quite nice. Kim glanced over at Regina and Faye. "Done. How are you two doing?" He asked the 2 girls.
It was around this time that something impressive took place.
Two people came in who almost never took part in errands, at least Kim hadn't seen them.
The castle's groundskeeper and the Charms professor, one of Kim's favorite teachers here. The only other authority figure he liked was the Herbology professor. If he'd been present, all of his favorites would have been at the place. Well, the Transfiguration professor was also really nice, even though Kim had trouble putting his thoughts down into words on the homework. He couldn't help but let his eyes linger on the two adults. How curious Kim was.
It might be because of the fact that the errand was relating to Pride.
But it also might not have anything to do with it. He regarded them for a few seconds.
Yes, their body language towards eachother... it implied they were either friends or possibly a bit more than friends. Before Kim could continue his analysis on them, the wizard suddenly spoke. His amplified voice rang out throughout the Great Hall, drawing everyone's attention to him. And there was also the little fact that Zoe was grabbing his hand too. It seemed as if she had either forgotten about this particular fact or she just didn't care if anyone saw them.
Kim remained silent for now, it wasn't as if he had anything to say, but he decided to keep an eye on them for now. It was always fun to watch and listen to those who rarely showed up at events. He reached out to take some other rainbow materials and started to construct a large streamer. A third of his attention was kept on the two professors, another third was directed at Regina and Faye and the remaining third was focused on his work. It was effective for him.
This way, he wouldn't end up losing focus on any of those three.

He was on his way to the Rehearsal Room, violin case strapped to his back, belly still full from dinner an hour earlier. Content from his plate of pot roast and potatoes, the small boy hummed a cheery tune as he walked down the hallway, a finger directing an imaginary orchestra in the air as the tune went on. Since it was basically summer, the general tune of Vivaldi's "Summer" were the notes that hung around him as he walked -- rapid 16th notes hardly discernable as his absent-minded humming seemed to blend the notes together.
But wait, what was all this hubbub in the Great Hall? He stopped as he heard the chattering of students, and smelled the sweet scent of cake wafting in the air. Avery inched closer to the entrance, and was greeted by radiant, rainbow colors on each of the house tables. Oooh, what was going on in here? The rainbow colors and the general cheer of the students drew him closer.
To be honest, Avery wasn't always aware of what went on around him -- Hogwarts seemed to have events aplenty, and his schedule was already quite packed due to quidditch and violin practice. As the year wore on, his participation in errands seemed to decline. And now, here they were, in the weeks right before exam rush. Evelynn's advice rang in his ears now: He had to prioritize his time, if his schedule was so packed already. The small boy stopped in his tracks. Sure, it was time for violin practice, but...
The colorful crafts drew him in. There was something alluring about spending the night eating cake and therapeutically folding paper flowers. Plus, it was Pride month, after all -- he could allow himself a bit of slack for a good cause, right? Right??
With a satisfied grin and a shrug of his shoulders, Avery stepped over to the Hufflepuff table, grabbing an instruction sheet for paper flowers. He gathered an armful of rainbow papers and other necessary supplies, including a cup full of gold glitter. The allure of the snack table was too much to bear. He set aside his crafts, and piled a few cupcakes, chips, and cookies onto his plate. It was now a balancing act to get all this onto the crafting table, but our boy was an acrobat. He peered tentatively over his stack of things, glancing around the room for anyone he recognized.
"Oy, Kim!" he called out, seeing his Gryffindor potions partner a few chairs away. "I got rainbow snacks, you want some?" he hollered over some heads, and went upon his merry way. Little did he know, that precarious stack of things was slowly beginning to slip and unravel within his grasp.
The glitter went first. The cup tipped itself upon the blond hair of a girl sitting nearby, dumping its golden, shiny contents in a shower of dust upon her already-golden hair. The papers slipped next, splashing to the ground in a rainbow plume. Luckily, the food was the only thing that remained carefully balanced on his palm forearm -- perhaps it was what Avery deemed most worth saving.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" he sputtered, flabbergasted. He set down the plate onto an empty spot on the table, and reached out to pat her shoulders of the golden dust without thinking. "I'm so sorry, did you get any of that in your nose? Do you need a tissue? Tell me what you need!" How embarrassing. Were athletes usually this clumsy? Avery Chen seemed like an exception.

What a year, what a year. It was already that time yet again and thankfully Quinn still had a lovely little Dhamphir that understood him for him. Of course that didn't mean he didn't have his moments where he was questioning or...'inspecting' certain individuals. Discreetly and respectfully of course! He wasn't a creep just a young teen in the throws of a loving relationship and his confusing feelings for others. He never acted on them of course, but well...he also didn't exactly look away when his heart found something that struck it. Nico and a few others were the exception, Nico would always have his heart now and forever, but for Quinn he found he was more inclined towards others like a certain rough and tumble Hufflepuff, or the more prim and proper chiseled type.
But that was neither here nor there, Quinn could think about his confusing woes another day. He had shaved the day before and had to hear it from an annoyed house elf while he helped clean up the mess he made. Luckily, that was the end of that tale. Without the beard and despite his very defined and somewhat disproportioned facial features, he was fairly baby faced. At least enough to be able to tell that he was most likely just a very tall, if strange, teenager. "Tall" being a crazy understatement since he was fast approaching and almost breaching the 11 foot mark.
Today he had chosen to wear one of his wacky outfits. Wearing pink, bright, pink pants, a bright blue shirt, with a yellow heart in the middle and pink arrow going through it. Along with yellow suspenders and pink aviators. He had grown out his hair again wearing it down, and his usual black and yellow high tops that were the colors of his house. In his massive hands was a box that carried a lot of somethings in it. Light clinking could be heard. He had helped some of the tables bring their heavier materials in since he was basically built and could lift like a fork lift. Perks of being a Part-Giant one could guess.
Entering the room and ignoring the stares he got, his greenish-blue eyes fell upon a familiar site and he took a direct path towards his best friend. Careful of his voice he grinned like a small child.
"Rosie! You ready for today?" He cheerfully spoke in a fantastically boisterous, and almost flamboyant tone that was a little off-putting save the fact he could make his deep baritone more of a tenor if he really tried. Surprisingly his voice wasn't ear shattering or obnoxiously loud just enough to be noticed.
He set the box down gently which could now be seen to contain a large assortment of makeup and...nail polish? A lot of nail polish of varying colors. Where he got all this was a mystery. But apparently Quinn had plenty of hookups and money? Well...he had a right to his secrets. A teen's gotta have something that makes him unique right? "Hope you don't mind but I brought some things...sorry I dipped for a little bit. Had to get changed after all but I'm glad I could get some of the heavier things set out for you to help with the decorations. Think this stuff will be enough?" He kneeled down, swatting away the voice of Harlin who was being even more flamboyant and extra this day.
He groaned as Harlin made a few extra Sassy remarks he wouldn't dare even repeat let alone think about again. Sighing he put up his smile, pushing him back best he could. The others were a little too silent as of late but he'd enjoy what he could. "I'll help you greet the other Hufflepuff's or people that come by, and maybe we can make a centerpiece for our table?" He didn't seem to notice the other individuals there yet. "And I was hoping you could uh...help me paint my nails? I don't usually get so blatant with the colors but my sisters...said I should try and be a little well...extra today?"
He furrowed his brow, and huffed a sigh. "I swear those two drive me crazy." He lamented, before looking to Rosie with his signature large smile. Making the sea of freckles on his face look even more crowded. "So! What's going on with you?"

"I do? I mean, of course I do. I am a quite remarkable person, after all. You have a good judgement, you do."
It was a close save there, one that would have been utterly embarrassing to admit. Regina tried not to appear self-conscious about the way Faye stared into her boysenberry eyes, and kept her expression neutral as she let out a light huff at her friend Kim and the Ravenclaw's remark about her distaste for sweets and whatever scheme they aimed to plan against her.
"Spare me. I am not looking forward to have my teeth rot out from consuming an unhealthy amounts of sweets," A subtle eye roll. "It is not entirely because of their taste. I simply do not enjoy them."
Regina's tone was curt and final. She had a feeling it was more appropriate to keep it vague rather than truly going into detail about how it reminded her too much of an unhappy childhood where treats and pastries alike were used to 'condition' her behaviour. Just like her siblings before her, Regina was trained to curb childish wants at a young age - never reaching out voluntarily, only accept what was offered and at a small amount - in favour of a poise and elegant demeanor. As such, the Heiress had come to associate candies and sweets with negativity, in relation to being controlled.
But her friends need not to know the secrets of her past.
"Besides," She added, afraid her brooding was slowly becoming exposed to Faye and Kim. "I try not to keep sweets around Athena. Some are incredibly harmful to owls like her."
The raven-haired Lion offered no more explanation as she went back to her crafting. Her attention was momentarily distracted when a booming voice resonated throughout the Great Hall with the entrance of the Groundskeeper along with the Charms Professor on his arm. Regina had a rather neutral emotional response to this, because she had no interest in the banter of adults. She was much more interested in Faye's presence next to her, and as she finished her impeccable centerpiece, Regina turned towards the other girl to gauge her reaction (and no, it wasn't because she wanted to fish for compliments from her crush).
"I am finished with mine as well," She answered Kim. "How is yours, Faye?"

The Hufflepuff table had gotten quite full. Even Nia Greenwood had plopped herself down at the table (quite a ways away from June, thank Merlin), and elbow room and supplies were now a bit harder to come by. June had gotten into a rhythm of flower folding, she'd become quite good at it. Cut, fold, glue, turn, cut, fold, glue, turn. It was quite therapeutic. June looked around at the many, many centerpieces she had made. She sighed, I'm sure this will be enough even if no one else makes any. She turned to leave, content that she could say that she went to an event, when something fell on June's head. A flurry of gold glitter showered down from June's head, covering her face, hair and shoulders. She heard something else fall behind her, and turned to see a pile of papers leaping and scattering everywhere. A couple of sheets caught wind and flew into June's lap, catching the mountains of glitter falling from her head.
June blinked, stunned. What.. What had just happened? As she blinked, she could see glitter in her eyelashes.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" Someone started patting off June's shoulders of glitter. It took a few moments for June to process what exactly had happened, but when she did, she bolted up out of her seat, plumes of glitter going out from her robes. She tilted her head downward and shook, trying to get as much glitter out of her hair as possible.
She stood upright again after a moment, looking at the glitter culprit. A Slytherin first-year boy stood next to her, an instrument case on his back. She thought he looked familiar... He played with Maggie on the Slytherin quidditch team, didn't he? He did look quite sorry, but still... "Blimey, watch where you go with that stuff, would you?" It was going to take her hours to rid herself of this glitter. And it would probably never fully wash out of her robe, or if it did, it would just transfer to other things in her room. June would simply have a glitter-filled rest of her first year.
She sniffed. "A tissue would be great if you have one, actually." June felt something on her tongue as she spoke. "I think some got in my mouth, too. Nasty. Were you really trying to carry all of that at once?"
June signed, shaking as much glitter off of her robes as she could. This boy played with Maggie on the Slytherin quidditch team, didn't he? "It's fine, accidents happen. But by the looks of it, an accident seemed inevitable here." She leaned down, picking up the papers that had spilled all over the floor. "Here, let me help you with this. Merlin, these things really spread out over the floor."WC: 456
