[Mituna appears not long after, running over and sliding to a halt a few feet away from his friend]

Hi--!

[He stops, and for a moment it seems that the cogs in his brain are slowly ticking over, then he lifts his hands to sign instead]

Hi Kurloz.

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz nearly jumps with delight at the signing and beams bright enough to light the whole pitch with his grin. He excitedly signs out:]

Hey Mit! Got your helmet and club there?

[helmetdoesnothing]

[He nods eagerly, slinging a bag off his shoulder and setting it down on the ground by their feet]

Yeah! Did you have trouble getting the pumpkin?

[innocent_insanity]

Nope, but the house elves were in a proper tizzy about not being allowed to even wash it.

[Grins and holds up the pumpkin with a flourish.]

Let's call it Bob.

[helmetdoesnothing]

[The boy doubles over in silent laughter, a wide grin on his face when he finally straightens. His signing is a garbled mess for a moment before he sorts his train of thought out]

Bob. Okay then, it's Bob.

[innocent_insanity]

[Gets a texter out of his bag and draws a bit smiley face on the pumpkin.]

Good. Now, hand over your club and helmet and we can get this party started.

[helmetdoesnothing]

[There's a bit more sniggering at that, and he pulls the required items from the bag, handing them over]

[innocent_insanity]

[GRINS and puts Bob into the helmet, glad to see it fits perfectly. He sets the pumpkin on the grass and hefts the bat.]

Okay bro, stand back or you might get splattered.

[helmetdoesnothing]

Okay!

[And he does move back, hopping on one heel, almost falling but keeping his balance with an awkward flailing of one arm. Once he's out of splattering range, he laughs again]

Do it, do it!

[innocent_insanity]

[Up goes the bat... then-]

WHACK!

[Surprisingly, despite the obvious amount of force used, the pumpkin remains undamaged. Just to make sure, he begins to REALLY beat the shit out of it.]

[helmetdoesnothing]

[He jumps at the noise, then watches while Kurloz lays into the thing. It's a couple of minutes before he carefully approaches and touches the boy's shoulder]

[innocent_insanity]

[He immediately drops the bat and straightens, glancing back at Mituna with an innocent look, despite how his cheeks are just the tiniest bit pink with exertion, eyes just a tad wild.]

Seems pretty tough, should work good when you're flying?

[He pretends not to notice his hand trembling a bit.]

[helmetdoesnothing]

[Kurloz might pretend not to notice, but Mituna does, and without speaking he takes both of the other boy's shaking hands between his and looks up at him with an expression of confused concern]

[innocent_insanity]

[He blinks when his hands are taken, and gives Mituna a confused look. He tries to take his hands back so he can ask what's wrong.]

[helmetdoesnothing]

[He lets him, after squeezing his hands lightly around Kurloz's fingers. Mituna cocks his head and smiles again]

It's okay.

[innocent_insanity]

[Gives him an uncertain look before smiling a bit.]

I know.

[helmetdoesnothing]

[He clasps his hand around the other boy's arm, briefly and hesitantly, then turns his attention to the helmet, picking it up and tipping the pumpkin out of it. He taps his knuckles against it]

[innocent_insanity]

[Lightly puts his hand over Mituna's to give a gentle squeeze. He grins when the relatively undamaged pumpkin rolls out of the helmet.]

Like I said - good helmet.

[helmetdoesnothing]

I still need to find my broomstick.

[He sure had almost forgotten about it]

[innocent_insanity]

[Scratches head.]

Oh yeah. Want to check the broom shed? Maybe it got put in with the school ones by accident.

[helmetdoesnothing]

I don't know how it would have got out of the dorm unless someone took it.

[Although, the longer this has gone on the more he's thinking it was never actually there]

Unless it walked out hahaha.

[innocent_insanity]

[Smiles.]

Maybe it did and it got so cold it decided go and join the school ones to keep warm?

[helmetdoesnothing]

[More sniggering, and he pokes Kurloz's arm lightly.]

Maybe. I didn't know brooms could get cold but I didn't know they could grow legs either.

[innocent_insanity]

You never know.

[It's obvious he's only teasing and he ruffles Mituna's hair fondly, making it puff like a dandelion head.]

If you want you can borrow my broom until you find yours'?

[helmetdoesnothing]

[He ducks out slightly from under the ruffling at his hair and makes a vague attempt at fixing the mess that's abandoned before it can really come to anything.]

Yeah, yeah! I can show you how to pull some wicked moves on it.
