WHO DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO TURN HULK GREEN? More importantly, what did you use to make him green because it's not washing off or coming off with any spells!

[Takes a moment to tie Hulk up so he won't attack anything else.]

Not completely, but he's huge. He's double the size of most of the kids and I'm wondering if he's really the same age as them.

[rule_britannia]

You haven't let Stark near him have you? Or that weird guy, what's his name.. Sherlock. I wouldn't put it past him to have conducted some bizarre experiment.

[The writing stops there, and within a few minutes Arthur's close enough to call out to the other boy]

Oi, Bruce!

[greenmoonrising]

[Glances up and waves at Arthur, looking thoroughly rumpled with a smear of dirt on his cheek from having wrestled with the goat.]

Hey!

And no, apparently he was just born this way.

[Gestures at Hulk.]

[rule_britannia]

I feel sorry for the mother.

[He raises one eyebrow in the goat's direction. Oh no, he's not even going near that]

[greenmoonrising]

I think the mother was even bigger. That or he gets it from his father in which case I feel even more sorry for her.

[rule_britannia]

You're not bloody kidding. If I were you I'd take to wearing some kind of protection. If he gets much bigger he'll be headbutting you in the crotch.

[greenmoonrising]

He seems to have settled for now. [Smiles wanly.] He probably won't try attacking me until he's hit another growth spurt and yeah... at that point I'll get the quidditch gear or something.

[rule_britannia]

I'm sure I can lend you mine, if you have trouble getting hold of it.

[The wan smile is noted, and he pats his friend's shoulder]

[greenmoonrising]

I'll hold you to that promise.

[Smiles a bit more easily at the pat to his shoulder and moves to sit on the sturdy wooden posts of the goat enclosure.]

How's that going for you by the way? Quidditch I mean.

[rule_britannia]

[Arthur leans beside him, and tilts his head back to look up at the sky. He smiles crookedly]

Fairly well, I'd say. Still nervous as anything but I'm going to give it my best.

[greenmoonrising]

You'll do fine, just keep your head during training and it'll become natural.

[rule_britannia]

Your faith in me is very comforting.

[And he's being completely sincere, would you look at that]

[greenmoonrising]

That or it's my faith in biology. [Grins.]
