Ojú.. That's the lake? Closed

Crystal had her attention on the boy and the boy seemed to spend a lot of time looking at her so Alina figured it was rather useless for her to be there. She was just rambling and destroying the peace out there and the interaction between the two.

Alina walked over near the embankment of the Lake to where she had placed her bag down when she was laying down and looking at the clouds. She went over to it, making sure everything was tucked inside and that it was fastened. Time to go ahead and make her exit.

"Well, I should...probably....be..." probably be where? "probably be somewhere else," she said softly. The truth was she really didn't have anywhere else to be but she'd rather be alone than be in the way and a lot of times she felt that way because of her rambling.

"Good evening to you both and I'm sure I'll see you around sometime," maybe. Perhaps. She didn't figure it really even mattered. She'd leave Ancel to his watching and she'd leave Crystal to her drawing. She forced out a small smile and turned and began down the path that would lead her to the castle.

Interacting with @Alina Rosier and @Ancel Wandlow

Crystal smiled warmly at Alina, not quite picking up on her hesitancy due to her focus on her drawing before she spoke. "I'll probably see you later at the dorms then, have a good day Alina!" she told her friend. She turned back to Ancel and quickly showed what she had doodled onto her arm. Her style was more on the realistic side, and she did the best she could with her pen and arm for shading.

It was a very sketchy style though, one could see a few faint construction lines that she rubbed off after she was done using them, and none of the outlines were a single piece. It was a ton of singular lines that overlapped eachother to create a full picture. Her shading was done with smudged up pen, messy but efficient. It would be such a pain to clean it up later but it was definitely worth it. Considering her supplies were an arm and a pen it was pretty decent. "What do you think Ancel?" She asked her fellow Hufflepuff with some nervousness. She doesn't always show others her art, so she was nervous to see what he would think. If she had colored pencils she would have done more, if she had paper with her it would have looked better. But she had what she had, and she worked with it.

Nu poor Alina T-T Crystal just gets distracted to easily! She cares I swear, but she wasn't paying that much attention /revelio]

She'll live. She's used to being alone.

He was quite distracted by his own shrews while feeling several eyes were posing on him until he noticed that one of the girls was leaving, which led Ancel to think if she was being uncomfortable *She shouldn't... The three of us are so comfortable here...* he thought as he lay down on the grass, resting his tired mind for a few minutes as he looked at his watch, where it pointed out that it was less and less to go to one of the classes that he had to attend “Don't worry Alina, not in a long time I will also have to go to one of the classes that I must attend.” he muttered thoughtfully, stretching his arms so they wouldn't stay in the wrong position, since on many occasions Ancel had ended up with numb arms for not having moved them very often.

Not long after, he heard Crystal's voice asking him about the drawing she had been drawing, he came over and looked at him for a few seconds before being able to comment on anything about the drawing “Honestly, it's very good. Have you tried adding the shadow outline?” he asked thoughtfully, he also had a talent for drawing although he hardly ever showed it since he was quite shy - to such an extent that he hardly ever showed various of his talents, like drawing, playing the guitar or singing... However, Ancel had never had trouble accepting criticism because he always pretended to be deaf, which was a very smart move since he had shown himself to be very mature, compared to other boys his age... According to his family, he was quite different.

Interacting with @Ancel Wandlow

Crystal shook her head "No, not yet. Though I don't know how I'm going to do that without messing with the rest of the drawing," she muttered, it was hard enough getting everything to work so far. But the way she did shadows it would definetly smudge the other lines. She didn't really want to have to redraw them for a third time. "If i had paper on me I would do it, but I don't think I will for this one," she mentioned. She started becoming curious about Ancel, what were his hobbies? She didn't know all that much about besides the fact he had a sibling and was in Hufflepuff. She plopped down on the grass next to him, glancing at him curiously. "So what do you like doing? Obviously I like drawing, I also like hiking. What about you?" she asked him. Maybe they might share some things in common.

"Oh, and what class do you have next?" She asked, her brain flickering back to his statement that he made when Alina left. She liked most of her classes, so far transfiguration was her favorite. Considering it was a mix of science and magic it was the best of both worlds for her. She remembered Ancel stating which ones he liked before, she think she remembered him mentioning history of magic. But she wasn't super focused on that whole part of the conversation cause she was too busy laughing at Alina's wording.

Sorry for the super late reply ;-;

Where was she?! He'd checked all around the grounds and still no sign her. He really should've just found a teacher, but that would mean having to explain where he had been. And there wasn't time.

He sprinted past the lake and finally crested a hill where he saw two other students. There was a girl sketching and a boy standing behind her, watching.

"Hey!" he called out to them. He ran the rest of the way up the hill and then came to a stuttering halt nearby and doubled over to catch his breath. He probably looked a wreck. His shoes were almost more mud than leather, he was really only wearing his scarf in the theoretical sense, and there was a smear of blood on his fingers.

"H-have you seen a girl named Alina? She's like...," he tried to indicate her height with his hand but gave up getting the exact measurement and replaced it with: "She's short. Has light-colored hair. Knows lots of big words. I need to find her. Now."

Then, realizing any more of a wait could be dangerous, added, "Actually, I might need your help too. There's an injured Slytherin girl. Near the Forbidden Forest. Her name's Bella and we need to get her to the hospital wing.

Interacting with @Ancel Wandlow and @Clifton Troublefield

Crystal really wasn't expecting the new arrival, and when she turned to look at the boy who appeared she immediately could tell that something wasn't right. Was that blood on his fingers? He was pretty freaked out it seemed, and was asking for Alina. While she was about to mention that Alina just left, he spoke up again "Actually, I might need your help too. There's an injured Slytherin girl. Near the Forbidden Forest. Her name's Bella and we need to get her to the hospital wing."

That threw her off. She was torn between just booking it towards the forrest and running to get a teacher. "Wait, what was she doing near the fores-" she cut off that train of thought very quickly "That doesn't matter, where is she?" she ran over to the boy. "Alina just left back to head to the castle," she pointed in the direction her friend left in. "How bad is the girl injured? I have some basic knowledge of injuries. Alina knows a lot more about medicine that I do, but I can at least bandage up things," Crystal informed the boy. But she was worried about leaving an injured person alone for too long, so many things could happen if the girl wasn't supervised. Even if she didn't know how bad her injuries were, there were too many thins that could go wrong without another person there. "We have to get to this Bella right now, Ancel?" she turned to look at Ancel. "Can you come with? Three people would be able to help a lot better than two," she mentioned, hopeful.

Ancel frowned at the same time he was thinking, he was not used to being drawn but he could not deny that he was good at drawing, he smiled while looking at Crystal “Don't worry, I have always read that it is better to have smudges for seeing if you end up failing in the first drawing because you can end up doing more... But I have a mental doubt, wasn't there a spell that cleaned or something similar?” Ancel asked pointing at the drawing that Crystal was making... He felt that he was being watched by the girl, so he did not rush to try to escape, he tried to remember that his mother always asked him to be sociable and open to be able to speak, something that Ancel was working on it *Maybe I should do this* he thought, cocking his head and considering Crystal's question.

He sighed smiling “At times, I like to play sports, go for a walk, ride a horse, read books, draw pictures... Let's see what else, well, with my grandmother I loved going out to pick plants and work in the greenhouse that she had in her house as she explained to me about my strange ability.” he explained as he changed his hair color to blonde, then went back to his natural color “Like this.” he explained with a small smile, until the moment was interrupted by a boy in which Ancel did not know, who was talking about Alina, the girl who had left before “Alina? She was here before but I could be of help.” he murmured thoughtfully, getting up and rubbing his hands in his outfit, trying to keep him from getting dirty more than necessary, plus Ancel was considered an extremely neat person.

When the topic of an injured girl came up in the conversation, he could not avoid the blood of being protective that his parents had instilled in him, to be able to help “I have medical knowledge, at least to heal superficial wounds... As a child, I fell a lot and I learned how to do it myself.” he explained with a soft smile, he heard that Crystal was asking Ancel for help “As I said, I can help. Don't worry.” he said smiling as he rolled up his sleeves, and looked at the boy who had come “Can you take us to the place, please?” he asked in a melodious voice, waiting for the boy to react and he could help in any way possible “If the girl has a major injury, we better take him to the infirmary...” he murmured in a worried voice, wondering how it could that happen.

"She's back that way. I got her a little ways away from the forest, but not much." Clifton panted, pointing back the way he'd come and scanning the area for Alina, hoping she hadn't gotten too far. He didn't see her yet, but he focused back on the other two students. He was relieved to hear that they both had some medical or healing experience.

"I saw some idiot trying to talk her into going into the forest. They," he had to pause properly catch his breath. "They didn't actually go in, but they got close enough for something to attack her. I don't know what it was, but it's not pretty. I tried to move her by myself, but she said it was making it worse."

Probably because he really wasn't a whole lot bigger than the girl herself, making his heroic attempts jerky and slow. But of course the older student she'd been with had long since made like a coward and ran.

He finally recognized his friend in the distance and gave them a grateful nod. "I'll meet you there. She wanted to make sure I found her sister."

Clifton sprinted past them, shouting a quick "Thanks!" over his shoulder. Then hurried after Alina.

"Alina!" He hollered, earning the attention of several other students. She turned and stopped, probably surprised to see him in such a state. He reached her and again skidded to a stop and blurted out the story.

"Bella. She's hurt. She wouldn't let me help because she...she only wanted you to help."

As a side note, you guys are welcome to make up what injuries etc. your characters see when they get there. I'm sort of making this up as I go... Just know that Bella is Alina's character, so she should probably be the one to do the dialogue.
