Quinn felt like she was falling in slow motion. Cassian whipped out his wand and muttered something. Quinn gasped as she hit the floor. Or at least she thought she would. Instead she hit a mass of bubbles that saved her from the dirty floor. Oh wow, that was really helpfull! Quinn thought. Cassian lent her his hand and he seemed to be amazed at himself. His hand felt firm and Quinn felt herself blush as Cassian held on longer then nessacery. Quinn felt her cheeks go bright as Cassian spoke. What did he mean by that? Quinn thought her mind racing. Why would he want there to be misletoe? He can't mean... Quinn's thoughts trailed off as her mind began thinking about how he had been so close to her when they had fallen. Quinn didn't really know what to say.
"yeah." She said breathlessly without even relizing. Quinn found an owl and tied the letter to his leg.
"Your pretty good at magic." Quinn said letting the owl fly off to the window. He reminds me in a way, of Declan. Quinn thought. Wait, nope we are not thinking about him right now, your crush is standing in front of you, don't think about him. Quinn looked at Cassian and relized that he seemed suprised about blurting out the misletoe thing. Quinn looked up at the ceiling.
"Thanks for catching me... I really didn't want to land on the floor." Quinn said to Cassian. Withought thinking her mouth blurted out words she had been hoping not to say.
"Why would you want misltoe?" Quinn asked, her voice sounded weirdly dreamy. She smiled at Cassian then looked around the owlery just for something to do. He probably noticed that I changed the subject, I really hope he didn't think much of it. Quinn wondered if Cassian thought she was weird...

Interacting with @Quinn Brook
Quinn's color: #029226
Cassian's color: #286a80
"You're pretty good at magic ," Quinn said after letting go of Cassian's hand and busying herself her with letter. Cassian smiled sheepishly; he wasn't exactly used to people complimenting him on his magical abilities. He wasn't sure what to say but he mumbled, "Thanks." It was strange. Usually Cassian was confident and collected. Sure he had his insecurities, especially with academics, but embarrassment wasn't a typical feeling he felt. Well, maybe he had felt a bit like this all day since the morning's breakfast events.
When Quinn thanked him for catching her, he again didn't know what to say. It was if because he had suddenly blurted out about the mistletoe he had lost all speech ability. He didn't trust himself to say anything, so rather he just shrugged it off, it wasn't a big deal. He had just thought off the top of his head. He was beginning to think he was lucky enough that Quinn was just forgotten about his mistletoe comment when she brought it up again.
"Why would you want mistletoe?" she asked dreamily. Cassian's mind went into hyperactive mode, trying to think about something, anything, to say.
"Oh, well . . . ya know," Cassian trailed off. His usual quick wit and problem solving had abandoned him and he couldn't come up with a plausible excuse. Instead he figured he should just tell the truth.
"Well," he began. "I was just thinking about how earlier we were under the mistletoe we kinda wasted the opportunity. Not that we'd want to kiss in front of a lot of other students, but like right now, I mean, it could be nice. Anyway, I just think it would be nice to kiss you, that's all."
He waited nervously for Quinn's response. Cassian wasn't sure if he had gone too far, or if he had read to much into her actions and words. He really hoped he hadn't made her too uncomfortable.

Cassian seemed to freeze as Quinn asked her question. Quinn wondered what he would say. He-what now? Whatever Quinn had thought she would say it wasn't that. Quinn had thought her brain was on overload before but now she was sure it was major overload. She walked toward Cassian.
"You like me." It wasn't so much of a question as much as it was a statement. Quinn looked Cassian in the eye, stealing herself. Your dream has come true-just close your eyes and tell him. Quinn thought. Quinn closed her eyes and took a breath.
"Cassian, I like you too." Quinn opened her eyes to a nervous looking Cassian. She moved closer again. They were very close once more but something stopped her from moving forward again. Something that also made her not kiss him. He may be cute-and we may like each other but we barely know each other as well. Maybe he doesn't really like me anyway. Quinn's thoughts were suddenly full of doubt. Something must have changed in her eyes but she hoped Cassian hadn't noticed.
"I-I have to go." Quinn said, her voice suddenly much less dreamy. Quinn stepped backward then turned and started speed walking. As her feet left the owlery she hoped that she hadn't hurt Cassian's feelings. No-you can't go back on your decision. Quinn thought. She, of course, still thought he was amazing but something had come over her in the owlery.
As Quinn walked back to the ravenclaw common room she noticed a few students who had seen her earlier whispering about the lack of Cassian and the way she was walking. Quinn shook her head and tried to ignore them but the thought of Cassian kept popping up. He is so sweet-maybe we should have... But Quinn's thought's trailed off. As she stepped into the common room she realized that Declan would be responding to her letter soon and when she went home she would have to deal with him. Her mind wandered to when she had kissed him at the airport. It had been a silly impulse-she wanted something to cling onto when she left for school, something to remember. Declan was her childhood friend and she loved him-but who did she love more, him or Cassian.
Quinn has now left the thread.

Mentioning: @Quinn Brook
Cassian watched her go from the Owlery, biting his bottom lip nervously. It felt sudden and wasn't exactly the kind of behavior he would expect after Quinn had just told him that she liked him too. Wasn't it supposed to feel different? Cassian wasn't experienced in relationships, but right now it just felt awkward and forced and he was pretty sure it shouldn't be like that.
He thought more about Quinn. She was awesome, really cool and interesting, and really cute as well. And they had just expressed their feelings for each other. But Cassian had also sensed a distance between her since they had first started, well, whatever they were. Maybe they just needed more time to get to know each other and to become more comfortable, but Cassian was sure there was something she wasn't telling him. To be fair, there was a hell of a lot of stuff that Cassian hadn't told Quinn about either. He anxiously twirled his wand between his fingers and then hurried to finish and send his letter to his parents. Cassian wasn't sure what to do about Quinn, but he was pretty sure he liked her and he knew he enjoyed spending time with her. Only time would tell what would happen to them.
Cassian has left the thread. This thread is finished.
