Sarah, Prompto and the Chocobos |EasilyAmused & Polarize|

If there was something that Sarah didn’t understand it was, well, personal space. This is why she jumped on Prompto without giving him any notice and embraced him in a tight hug. But how could she not be excited! She succeeded in something she was really nervous about doing. You wouldn’t think Sarah had such a sad past as she does with her positive personality but… that was the case.

Slingingt the gun over her shoulder, she tightened the strap so it wouldn’t move and nodded. “Yeah we better head back, demons have been decently active lately and the sooner we had back the less likely we’ll have to deal with them.” With that the two collected the cans and ventured back to the ranch.

Luckily nothing bad happened during their adventure back and she let out a gentle sigh. “Great, now I feel like I can be of use during our time heading to where Deadeye is.” She said with a serious nod as she stopped in front of the entrance to the shop. Taking the cans from him she gave him a gentle smile. “It looks like your friends have rented the trailer.” She said with a nod towards the light up trailer and the lounging prince outside. “Sleep well and I will see you in the morning.” With that she bid him a thank you again and a good night.

However Sarah’s night was not over. In fact after she went into the building she changed into her pjs, a pair of sweat pants and an over-sized t-shirt before warming up her can of beans, tossing her hair up into a messy bun and climbing up the latter to the top of the barn to gaze up at the clear skies and munch away on her heated up beans. Just a typical night, though her thoughts her on the blonde in the camper. What an interesting guy!

The chuckle caused her to blush and it told her that she had failed the set up but he seemed to find it assuming. The nervousness and embarrassment built up inside of her as he guided her to her proper holding positions, all the while speaking positively and encouragingly to her. The more he stood close to her to help her line up her gun, the more mix of nervousness and at ease she felt. Ease came from having his help but nervousness that she had from holding the gun turned into the nervousness for him being so close to her.

Did she smell like the barn? Did she smell like the chocobos? Did she have something in her teeth? Was she holding the gun wrong? What if she farted? All the panics blazed through her mind as he finally stepped back and stated the final note for her. Remember to breathe. A small nod rose and fell her head as she followed his instructions and took aim at the large can.

She focused on the can and fired only to find out that she missed. Instead of looking disappointed, she cocked back the rifle and took aim again. This time she closed a single eye to focus and her shoulders dropped as she released and breathe. TING the can flew off the stump and the blonde’s eyes expanded in surprise. “I did it?” She questioned quietly as she lowered the gun from her view and looked at where the can had stood. “I did it! I did it!” She said excitedly as she beamed at Prompto.

“Did you see that?! I did it and it’s all thanks to you?” Without warning she put the gun down on the nearby stump and jumped at him wrapping her arms around his neck in a joy-filled hug. “Thank you thank you thank you!” She repeated over and over again before she finally let him go and jumped back to the gun.

She was so enthralled with what she was doing she didn’t even process what she had done to him. Taking up the gun she positioned it as she was taught and took in a couple of breathes. The nervousness was gone and all she could feel was herself focusing on the things Prompto had taught her. Soon she picked off the cans one by one. Sometimes missing a few by a hair but regaining for the following shot. Soon all were done and she lowered the rifle from her sight and grinned. “I can’t believe I did it. Thank you so much!” She said excitedly turning her gaze to him. “If it wasn’t for you, god knows who I would have hurt. Thank you Prompto, I owe you.”

A Professor's Tale. |Tranquility & EasilyAmused|

The idea of coming to Hogwarts gave him a wonderful escape from Scandinavia. That and he had some other things that were just… holding him back, so moving to London and starting to teach at a school outside of his home area. He listened closely to her explanation as they walked towards the Great Hall, the snow haired man nodded along with her. “That would make sense. You’re certainly have nerve with the way you talk to people.” He said with a chuckle to his voice as he gave her a gentle nudge with his elbow. He honestly found like he had made a friend on his first day at Hogwarts.

“And I must have ambition to antagonize you more.” He said with a cheeky grin before he followed her into the Great Hall. The hall was buzzing with the chatter of the fellow professors and it wasn’t a surprise that the last seats open were next to each other. After pulling out Fianna’s chair as if it was a natural action, he offered sat down next her with the herbology professor next to him. They instantly started chatting before Minerva made another announcement, a reminder that the house heads needs to be ready with their speeches for their first years when they all arrive at the common rooms.

This was news to Gabrial as his expression changed to one of surprise. “Whelp, guess I’m making a trip to the library after this…” He muttered to himself before the table expanded with food. Delighted like a young child he began to pile things onto his plate. “Wow! Hogwarts is great!” He said with a grin as he spoke to Fianna. “At Durmstrang we hunted for half the week for our meals and the other have was catered by the surrounding town so half was good food the other half was… well it was good but it wasn’t this!” Oh the joy in his face was more than one could describe in words. “Your house elves are amazing! Even my school lacked them. Muggles called what I went through ‘Bootcamp’.”

This was… embarrassing, asking someone to help her with something she… well she should know. Let’s face it, the gun is in her possession and meant to be something she was going to use and yet… here she was; she didn’t have any experience with it. With red cheeks of embarrassment, she was having trouble looking up the blonde young man as he seemed to stumble over his words… possibly stumbling over the idea.

That was until he said that there was nothing to be nervous about and her gaze quickly moved back to him with a look of surprise across her face. He was… agreeing to teach her? Really!? Her blue eyes expanded in surprise and a bright smile moved across her lips flashing her bright white smile. “Really?!” She nearly shrieked with excitement before she corrected herself. “Sorry. I’m just really excited. I want to be useful and help.” A nod rose and fell quickly before she listened to his story about using empty cans.

To this she laughed. “Don’t worry I’ll make sure their empty. Plus, something about shooting a can of beans and having them splatter everywhere. Yuck!” Her body shook with the thought of ending up covering herself in beans. “Alright, I’ll be right back.” With that she set the rifle down and dashed back inside the building. Climbing upstairs to her loft and grabbed a few empty cans and came back to him. Five in her arms.

Within a few minutes the two had set up their makeshift firing range. “Okay.” She said as they lined up back where Prompto had indicated she stood. “So you hold it like this. Right?” With that she held up the gun in a very wrong fashion and tried to make it look right… boy… she really needed lessons.
