(Back date to during the school year)
It had been a rather stressful week for Tallis and the one thing she wanted to do was relax and draw in her sketchbook. She had gone back to her dorm to change into her usual dark grey collared shirt and dark purple overall dress, making sure that her hair was still covering her blind eye. She made sure to grab her sketchbook and her pencil case, setting out towards the great lake. She walked around for a while, trying to find a place where she was unlikely to be bothered.
Eventually, she did find a place next to one of the large trees and sat down, laying her back against the large base. She opened up her sketchbook and sat back for a second, trying to figure out what to draw. She was missing her parents so she decided to draw them. Starting with her father and then she would work on her dad. It was rather lonely at Hogwarts, she had been able to make one friend at least, which was sadly the only one she had ever had, but she wished she could make another or at least meet another person. She sighed, looking back down at her sketchbook and getting back to work.

Aldor was just walking around like always with a peaceful smile and his shaky hands, he wasn't really searching for anything to do, but at the same time, he knew that even with how large Hogwarts was, he couldn't just understand where to go or what to do. He'd simply look around the place, not expecting to find anyone, and so, he just stood near the edge of the water, watching.
Aldor thought this place was interesting, it always seemed peaceful, calm, relaxing.
He have never been here before, but somehow, he feels like he is home. Everything about this place is lovely, just like the library, it is calm and quiet. There was nothing else to do at that point, but at least he's alone, as far as he knows. He hasn't been able to talk to anyone normally, at the library he met the first person he considered a friend, and ended up liking her, and for him, it was extremly awkward ''Everything will be fine, it'll be better soon-'' Aldor would drive his hand to his mouth, and began chewing his nails as he sat down.
He hasn't seen anyone yet, but somehow he feels like he is not alone, and this only made him extremly nervous, he'd remain quiet, and kept chewing his nails, pretending that everything was fine, but deep inside him, he is really strugling to be calm.

Tallis had been drawing for some time when she felt a presence coming from somewhere. She knew someone was close by and she wondered if they would just pass by her or stay. She sat up for a while, staying quiet as she waited for the presence to leave but it didn't. Part of her said that she should just stay were she was and continue drawing, but her curious side wanted to find out who was there. She stood up carefully and looked around from behind the tree.
She saw a young boy that looked about her age and she wondered if he was a first year like her. He looked to be by himself, and she wondered if like her, he was alone. She wanted to go up to him and say hello, maybe this was her chance to make a new friend. She was far to nervous though to go up to him, she really wish she was sociable like her dad. He could just go up to anyone and start up a conversation but she could barely make it through a conversation much less start one. She decided that instead of just going up to him she would just say hello from the safety of the tree. "H...Hello," she said quietly, wondering if she had been loud enough for him to hear her.

As unreal as it seemed, Aldor heard her, he would turn his head to the side slightly, his hands began shaking again, but he'd try to remain calm, this was not the first time he talked to someone in hogwarts. He had already talked to another girl at the library, and that was a horribly awkward encounter.
Aldor would slowly stand up and turn, taking a few steps forward, his shaking became much more obvious, the boy tried to smile, his breath was quite heavy, but he wasn't that scared, this time he feels a tiny bit more prepared to talk.
''H-ey there-'' Aldor spoke, his voice would crack every so often, but he seems confident. . . Mostly. But in reality he is still a shy and lonely boy, and he is not used to conversating or just interacting with people in general.
''Y-ou probably thought I was someone else- but um- If not, I-I'm Aldor-'' The boy would around slowly, he was strangely calm, compared to how he usually feels around people. He'd get a little closer but stoped, and looked around once more, maybe this is his chance to practice his talking, but at the same time, he feels a little nervous, he waited with dread, prepared to start a conversation.
''And you are?-''

The boy had noticed her and as he came closer she noticed he was shaking slightly. She stuttered slightly as he talked and she sensed that he was just as nervous as she was. She couldn't help but think at least he hadn't run from her yet, she hadn't had anyone rum from her at the school actually yet which she found rather interesting. He introduced himself, telling her that his name was Aldor.
He asked her who she was and the least she could do was tell him, wondering if he was scared of her. "M...My name i...is Ta...Tallis," she told him, still hiding slightly behind the tree and nervously playing with a strand of her hair. She was kinda regretting saying anything, conversations were not her strong suit and she was still trying to figure out why on earth she had decided to talk to the boy. Perhaps she talked to him because she was curious, but in the end maybe she just wanted to talk to someone.
She studied the boy for a minute and then looked away, not wanting to scare him or at least make him any more nervous. "Wh...What h...house are y...you in," She started, wanting to break the awkward silence, "I...I'm a Hu...Hufflepuff."

His tone became a little more confident this time, as he started to speak again.
''I'm- a Hufflepuff as well, First Year- um- favorite color purple- '' Aldor stoped and putted a hand on his forehead. ''I mean- you did not ask that did you?-'' He'd chuckle quietly, as he moves his hand away.
He seems nervous but he seems to be completley fine with this conversation, even he is amazed on how well this is going. ''Although- did i disturb you? You seem to be- quite nervous-'' He'd smile, as he putted hhis hands behind his back, trying to hide how nervous he actually was. ''If I did I hope you can forgive me- I'm not really used to talking with people-''
He seemed quite kind, and his smile wouldn't fade away at any point of the conversation, it was a little strange of course, even he doesn't know how he can always smile, no matter how awkward or afraid he feels, maybe it is a curse, maybe a gift, he won't ever know, the only thing he knows is that he is happy of not being alone, probably the first time he ever thought that way.
''But- if you preffer to be alone I can leave, you know?-''

Aldor asked if he had disturbed her, telling her that he wasn't used to talking with people. She was about to say something when he told her that he could leave if she wanted him to. She shook her head, possibly a bit to quickly, and stuttered out, "Y...You don't h...have to i...if you d...don't want to." She looked at the ground and quietly stated,"I st...still haven't g...gotten used t...to talking to p... people either, s...sorry" He seemed like a nice guy, and while he was trying to hide how nervous he was she could tell, she had always been good at telling when someone was.
"Y...You seem pr...pretty nervous y...yourself," she told him, looking at his hands and then up to his face. She noticed the boy had been smiling slightly through out the whole interaction, it was quite different from the usual frown she had on her face. Her dad was like that, always had a smile on his face, it was... comforting in a way. "I m...mean i...if you want I cou...could leave but, y...you d...don't have to le...leave if you d...don't want," She told him, slowly coming out from behind the tree. She played with one of the pages of her sketchbook, to calm her nerves.

''Well- I'm not specifically feeling like going away, but- if you do not mind I'd like to have some company as well-''
Aldor was pretty bored, just staring at the water and feeling anxious was not fun, and staying in bed wasn't an option, he was the kind of person who preffers to sleep very little, somehow, it made him feel more productive.
He'd look her from head to toe, still smilling, he seems to be completley fine with being here, of course, his shaky hands were still there, he couldn't avoid that, but he did not care, at this point, having company was enough for him, after all, it is not something regular to find lonely students, at the dorms everyone seemed to be quite loud, or just boring to Aldor, he would always stumble upon the common class clown, or the typicall jock who would always talk about his amazing goals and achivements, this was not interesting for Aldor, and even if he found watching sports quite amusing, participating in them was never really a priority for him.
''So- would you mind if I just- sit by you? If you don't specially feel like talking I can just stay in silence so I do not interrupt you.'' Aldor would seem to care about what she wants a lot, of course, Aldor was always like this, but at the same time this was part of his charm as a person.

Aldor asked if he could sit by her, even if they didn't talk. She thought for a moment, it would be nice to have company and he seemed like a nice guy so she nodded. "I d...don't mind i...if you s...sit by m...me," She told him, going back to were she had been sitting. He interested her, then again, anyone who didn't run from her or was willing to talk to her she found interesting. She sat her sketchbook in her lap and sat her pencil case to her side so that Aldor could sit.
She wondered why he had been out here by himself. He seemed like a nice guy, besides him shaking so much and seemed like he would quickly make friends. Then again, looks could be deceiving she knew that very well. She opened her sketchbook and flipped back to the drawing she had been working on of her two dads. She had finished the outlines and what not, she just needed to color it.
She hoped it didn't bother the boy if she didn't talk much but he did say that they didn't have to talk. She looked over at Aldor who hadn't sit down yet. She slowly pat the ground next to her. "I...I promise I d...don't bite," She told him, quickly turning her attention back to her sketchbook.

He'd smile softly. ''Alright then-'' He'd slowly sit down, looking around again, he doesn't seem bothered by the silence, in fact he seems a little more calm. He'd turn to her few seconds, and smiled, and afterwards kept looking his surroundings.
''You might be thinking it's strange that I decided to respond to your greet- Right?-'' He'd smile again, as he looked back at her. ''I just thought it was funny that someone else decided to be alone- You know, it's- kind of my thing-'' He'd chuckle softly, as he thought his words slowly. ''I thought- ' Hey, maybe the're friendly ', but um- as you may have noticed- I'm awful at this, but I'm always up to talking to one person at the time-'' He'd keep smiling as he slowly moved his head away and closed his eyes, breathing heavily.
He seems very nervous, but had the determination to express what he felt, as if he was really afraid of communicating, but he couldn't help but do it, as weird as it seemed, he enjoys talking, but specially listening, but he doesn't always need to hear people's voices, sometimes the wind, the sound of little critters crawling around the place, and in very rare situations, breathing, was enough to sooth him.
