⫶ (chat) great hall

stéphane sat all by his lonesome towards the shadowy end of the hall, casually nibbling upon savory crackly warm gougères filled with cheese he just whipped up in the dorm kitchens before coming to study.

mirabelle happily took a grape, throwing it up in the air and catching it in with a triumphant grin. back to her tights, though, where she pouted once more.
well, I was kneeling to feed the cute bunny some of my strawberries and when I went to get up, they got snagged on a jagged edge in the cobblestone. it’s a pity too, these were my last good pair of black tights.

as nari waited for the older girl to decide, she popped a few more fruits into . the second grape bursted with flavor, to which she hummed at in satisfaction. she held out her cup to mirabelle afterwards, gaze flickering to the girl's legs.
girl. what the hell happened?

mirabelle tipped her head towards the ceiling, thinking on the question. she hadn’t really had a plan to go anytime soon, but she should. she needed to replenish her candy stash.
maybe Friday? want to go together? I wanted some more jelly slugs and I need to stop by gladrags to get a new pair of tights.
she frowned down at the tights she wore, with several runs in the right leg.
I saw the cutest bunny so I knelt to fed it and- well-
she gestured helplessly to the run.

avoiding homework.
she hums thoughtfully. she had been neglecting her own assignments, too, but she didn't want to admit that out loud. she used to be so good at keeping up with her coursework.
felt. anyway. when are you heading to hogsmeade next?

mirabelle shrugged, going to grab a much less healthy snack; a chocolate muffin. she perched herself on a bench and unwrapped the wrapper, smiling up at her younger friend.
nothing much, really. avoiding homework and choosing my research topic to justify having an independent study on my class schedule.

for a moment, she's staring at her loss, the fruit cup that was nearly in her grasp, now gone and snatched by some—oh. it's just mirabelle. she laughs and rolls her eyes, taking the fruit cup from her before popping a single grape in .
hi, belle. what's up?

mirabelle catches sight of nari and her pursuit, quickly sneaking up behind her and swiping a fruit cup with a teasing grin. she only held it away for a moment before holding it out to the taller girl.
hi my favorite!

she enters the great hall alone and makes a beeline towards the snack bar, eager to get her hands on a fruit cup.
