At the mention of trouble, his gaze instinctively moved back to the castle. "I dunno if I'd wanna get in trouble. The Headmaster seems like he means business and I can't spend a lot of time getting to know more about magic and this place if I'm stuck in detention." His gaze sank back to his bridge buddy. "But if that's the sort of thing you're into for adventures, that's cool." He even offered a good natured grin. Kitt had never been a troublemaker. Quite the opposite. In life, he'd found that it was easier to stay out of it. "What sort of adventures are you looking to have? Could I tag along? Just for the ones that aren't against the rules to start." He'd figure out the rest after.
Kitt shrugged a little, not really wanting to get into the moving. It all seemed a little embarrassing. Granted, it was slightly less so now that he found out about this whole magical world but....."Magic, I guess. It kept happening and I couldn't make it stop, so we'd have to leave." How did ANYONE hide magic? It seemed so impossible. So futile. So--
"That's amazing! Does stuff like that happen all the time?? D'you think they'll come back?" He wanted his own adventure here, thanks.
"Grindylows...kelpies...merpeople," Isla said, rattling off just a few of the possibilities. Nothing she wanted to deal with. Although, she wouldn't put it past Trent to send an army of all three after them, seeing as he'd already
attacked them with kelpies. She decided not to tell that to Kitt, who still seemed somewhat oblivious to everything.
Isla shook her head.
"No, I don't mean serious trouble or anything like that," she said. Truth be told, she didn't know what she meant. She just didn't want to always be known as the kid who was always on time, always did every piece of her homework, and always earned the most house points.
"I don't know what I mean, but I just feel like I'm too boring. That I don't have enough fun. Nothing like detention, though." She shrugged.
"Or shoveling animal dung..." KITT.
She perked up when he asked about adventures.
"Of course you can tag along! Adventures are no fun with you're by yourself," she pointed out. She laughed.
"For a kid who likes shoveling animal dung in exchange for a pet, you sure are worried about the rules around here. Look, no rule breaking. Just fun. Deal?"
She picked up on his change of tone and attitude when she asked about him moving.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to pry, but look, it happens to the best of us. We were all untrained witches and wizards at some point," she said, trying to make him feel better. She wanted to ask what he
did, but she kind of picked up on the fact that he didn't really want to talk about it.
Lucky for both of them, he changed the topic back to what she'd said about the portraits.
"Umm, nope. No, thanks to them coming back. They were super annoying and actually tried to kill people," she explained. No reason to overly worry yourself, Kitt. She shrugged again.
"Last year was just my first year, but I've heard that weird stuff happens here all the time. Just be on the lookout. You'll find an adventure whether you're looking for one or not."
