[/style] Nervousness hung over her as she watched him close his eyes. "I trust you...but be careful!" she laughed, though was thoroughly serious about her warning. Dorcas gulped and watched as he made his way across the room, climbing onto the chair. "You're insane!" she cheered, then tensed up as she watched him waver on the table. She fisted her hands nervously as she watched him finally make his way down to earth. A sigh of relief escaped her and she shook her head at him.
"I swear, you could have given me a heart attack!"
Doe laughed off her nerves and quickly turned her attention back to their fun as he shoved a few Whizbee's in his mouth. She watched him rise and then laughed. "Nope! Just about the same height!" she chuckled, then shrugged. "Guess the inventors knew some silly bunch would come around and try to get a bit higher," she said, though was a bit disappointed. It would have been funny to have people come in and see the two of them bouncing around on the Hufflepuff ceiling.

"I am never careful!" he sing-songed as he stumbled off the chair, slipping on the seat and slightly catching his hip bone on the way down as he fell. Iain just landed on his butt and winced, rubbing his hip a little before getting up. "See? No harm done!" He'd have a bit of a bruise later, but that would be under his clothing so no one would notice anyway.
"I do worse things in Quidditch practice," he assured her as be walked back, grinning. He winced slightly as he sat back down on the floor again. Hm, that was going to be tender for a while.
Iain threw up his hands. "You're kidding me?! The same height!?" That was totally and completely unfair and stupid. "We should remake these properly!" he suggested as he floated back to the floor. "Aw, that was a bit of a disappointment," he sulked.
"Speaking of disappointments - I miss my morning coffee. Would you like some? I can go get some." He was already on his feet. "I could just go get a pot at the kitchens - or we could go together?" He wasn't wearing shoes, but who cared? The castle was still inside, right?

[/style] Dorcas laughed at his disappointment at not being higher, although she felt the sting too. "We can just go into the candy business together after Hogwarts and I bet we can come up with some great candies!" she cheered. Though it was a bit of a joke, Doe would have thoroughly enjoyed choosing something so fun as a career choice.
At the mention of coffee, she felt a chill run down her spine, as if telling she actually needed the warmth of it. Doe quickly scrambled to her feet and nodded at him. "I think a trip to the kitchens sound great - let's go," she exclaimed, before turning on her heel and heading out of the common room, listening to Iain's bare feet shuffle at the floor. "Merlin's beard... I sort of want some cookies, too. Maybe the house elves will have some baked!" she giggled.

"Not a bad idea," Iain agreed, chuckling. "Becoming candy-makers sounds like a good plan B." He was getting more and more sure that he wanted to become a Healer, though he wasn't quite sure how to go about it.. or what others would think. After all, he was very frequent a patient himself.
He beamed. "Good, come on!" Iain hooked his arm through Doe's and walked out of the common room with her. The castle's stone floors were chilly under his feet but not too cold as he resolutely turned left, toward the kitchens.
Iain couldn't contain a groan of longing at the mention of cookies. "Yes. Cookies, pies, bacon - damn, I'm still hungry!" he laughed as they walked down the corridor.

[/style] She grinned as their arms looped together, tenderly squeezing the inner part of his playfully. They frollocked down the tunnel to the fruit potrait where the Hufflepuff common room let out, climbing through and then turning toward the kitchens. "Ooh! Stop it, you're going to make me raid the place," Doe giggled, but was thoroughly serious. Her tummy had been satisfied with being tumbled down a hill of sweets, but now it really was hungry. Ah, well, she supposed they'd grab a few snacks before heading back to the common room anyway.
Doe pushed the kitchen door open slowly, always feeling as though she were invading privacy when she entered there. She grinned as it seemed fairly empty, probably because it wasn't normal eating hours. Yet, there on the counter lay plates assorted with all different types of snacks. Dorcas' eyes lit up and she turned to Iain, squealing. "I think I've died and gone to heaven!" she exclaimed, giggling.

Iain thrived on people around him and would chat to almost everyone, but with his actual friends? He would get extremely affectionate at times, which was one of the reasons why some people had drawn some wrong conclusions about Iain and his twin in the past (as they had fallen asleep all curled up on a common room sofa once or twice). Iain loved to touch and to be touched - nothing sexual, simply closeness - and so he smiled contently when Doe squeezed him a little closer.
"Oy, I still haven't had breakfast," Iain complained. "I'm starving!" He was definitely getting bacon sandwiches and chocolate cake to accompany his coffee. "And you could grab lunch while you're at it, anyway, right?" There was no need to finish all that candy in one day - even if they probably could, should they want to.
His mouth watered the moment they stepped inside the kitchen. Iain couldn't remember the last time he'd been so hungry - he hadn't had anything to eat since dinner last night. Unlike Dorcas, he had no problems entering the kitchen - he didn't feel like he was invading any kind of privacy. The House Elves were always happy to get him whatever he wanted and although he had been a little uncomfortable about that when he was younger, he was used to it now.
He laughed at Doe's reaction. "Same here, I'm getting bacon sandwiches first, though, hm." Iain could swear he could feel his stomach starting to digest itself. Reaching into a refrigerator (bigger on the inside, brilliant!), he had to search for a moment or two before pulling out a plate of bacon sandwiches. "Want one?" he asked with his mouth full, as he had (obviously..) not waited before talking, and held out the plate to her.

[/style] Dorcas grinned as she watched Iain trail over to the fridge. She grabbed herself a glass of water - a glass of much-needed water, thanks to the candy. She gulped some down before turning to her friend, who was now holding out a plate of bacon sandwiches and asking, or muttering through his food, if she'd like some. She laughed and nodded. "But, of course!" she said cheerfully, extending her hand to take one off the plate. She crunched down into the sandwich and smiled. Polite unlike Iain, she waited until she was through swallowing before saying, "It's so delicious!" [/b] with another giggle. She leaned into the fridge beside him and searched around. "Ooh, pumpkin pasties!" Doe admired, pulling one out and taking a bite. "I swear, I'm going to explode," she said as she set a hand on her stomach, feeling a bit full and yet still wanting more. The horrid life of the candy monsters. It was at that moment she and Iain had decided to just get lunch instead of eating candy. While it had been fun and quite entertaining, Dorcas really was in the mood for a meal and now her poor tummy couldn't handle it.

He wolfed down the sandwich in about three bites - within a minute or two, it was like there had never been a sandwich at all. Iain groaned, at least partially satisfied. "Oh, that is good," he muttered under his breath. He really had been hungry and it had sort of overwhelmed him. Strange how he hadn't noticed before. He leaned against the counter and watched Dorcas eat her sandwich in a much more civilised way. "Hah, my mum would be proud," he chuckled when she swallowed before speaking. "I think everything is delicious when you're hungry."
Iain reached past Dorcas into the fridge to return the plate of sandwiches - he wanted something sweet now. "Ooh, those are good," he agreed with his friend mentioned the pumpkin pasties. "But.." He reached a little further, picking up a plate with what appeared to be the last piece of a chocolate cake. "I'm having this - unless you want to share?" Iain had no qualms about sharing food. In fact, if you let him, he'll make you share yours by pinching bits off your plate.
"Oh, you won't explode, we human beings are extraordinarily elastic," he chattered, licking chocolate icing off his thumb. "And if you do, I'll put you back together," Iain promised with a wink. He turned a little more serious when he saw her put her hand on her stomach. "You okay, though?"

[/style] "Oh, no, you can have it," Dorcas said with a small smile, her hand still resting on her stomach. She watched as he turned to her with concern, to which she quickly gave him a slightly larger smile and a shake of her head. "Don't worry, I think I just ate too much," Doe chuckled, then sat down in an empty chair. "I probably shouldn't eat any more til dinner."
She nodded at his food and grinned. "You can keep eating, though. I'm fine to wait for you," she assured him. Doe actually felt a little better by sitting, and so presumed that once they made it back to the common room, she would simply lay down in front of the fire and they could enjoy conversation until her stomach settled. Maybe then they could go galavanting around the castle more. Of course, that was only if they didn't fall asleep due to over-eating and the sleepiness that act brought on.

Iain dug in, but not as enthusiastically as he would have and halfway through the piece, he set it aside, reaching into the cupboards. "Give me two minutes," he assured her, cutting up ginger and peppermint leaves as he waited for the water to boil. Ginger root helped against nausea and peppermint was a great herb for indigestion - he was going to make her tea. Iain didn't particularly like tea himself, but he did see the merits of it.
A little over two minutes later, the kettle whistled and he poured the hot water over the chopped up ingredients and into a mug. "Here, have that while I finish," he said, smiling as he hopped onto the draining board and picked up the plate of cake again.
"Thanks for fixing my ruined Saturday morning," he said in between bites, smiling gratefully. "Really, honestly."
He wouldn't at all mind just lounging on the carpet in front of the fire himself. Perhaps later he could seek out Cailean and see if he was done with his coursework when Dorcas got sick of him. Iain didn't hold onto the illusion that she would not have better things to do than hang around with him.
He smiled at Dorcas around his spoon.

[/style] "Uh...okay?" Doe replied questionably. She wasn't exactly sure what he was doing with the herbs he chopped up. She wasn't familiar in the practices of tea-making, though, either. So when the pot finally whistled and the scent of the tea filled her lungs, she realized what exactly he'd done. "Oh, thank you so much! You're so thoughtful," she said, then cupped the glass in her hands and began to sip at it. It soothed down her throat, and although she didn't necessarily feel the effects in her stomach immediately, she knew that Iain knew what he was doing.
Doe blushed. "Please! You definitely made my day far less lonely," she assured him, then turned back to her tea. After a few more sips, she looked back up at him and smiled. "So which do you prefer more, chocolate or gummy and lollipop kind of stuff?"

He smiled at her over his shoulder while he was chopping up the last bits, not worried about cutting his fingers at all. "Trust me, Doe, this'll fix you right up." It had always worked with him and Cailean, anyway. As much as he didn't drink a lot of tea, he did like the smell and scents.
As he handed over the mug, he smiled a little wider. "Very welcome, any time. Well.. any time at your own risk, you never know how I might react if you pull me out of bed in the dead of night for tea," he teased, just glad he'd managed to do something.
"Good - lonely days are the worst." This was a good thing about Hogwarts, sort of. There were always enough people around to socialise with and make him feel less lonely. There were days when Iain thought it was impossible to be lonely at Hogwarts. Then again, there were also days when nothing helped to fill the hole beneath his ribs that would open up sometimes. Not that he tended to talk about it with others, really.
He looked pensive for a moment. "Hmmm.. I don't know, it depends on my mood?" Iain pulled a face suddenly. "Did that just make me sound like a girl? Oh, Merlin, I didn't mean to!"

[/style] Dorcas nodded. "They really are," she said and then began laughing uncontrollably at his answer toward his candy preference. "Oh - my - gosh," Doe puffed out through her laughter. She nearly spilled her tea all over herself, but realized the incident beforehand and slid it onto the countertop. She buried her head in her hands as she continued to laugh, then finally caught her breath and looked up to catch the horrified-looking Iain.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she chuckled, then shook her head. "You don't sound like a girl...no not at all," Doe said sarcastically, before giggling again.

Iain almost wished they had continued talking about lonely days, because focusing on his apparent femininity was not a good thing! Well, it wasn't exactly bad, he would live it down.. eventually. At least it would go no further than the kitchens.. right?
He put down his cake to burst into giggles. "Oh, shit - I'm a woman," he shrieked, over the top on purpose, before laughing and shaking his head. "No, no, I'm not." Iain waved his finger at Dorcas. "No, Doe-!" He pouted and then chuckled, "Shut up, I'm not a girl, I don't sound like a girl!"
The cake was finished so he hopped off the counter. "Quick, let's leave and forget all about this!" he laughed and then realised- "Oh, coffee, I'll make it fresh." Iain had almost forgotten the reason why they'd come down here!
As the coffee was spluttering in the background (and oh goodness he hoped it would be ready soon, he was dying for caffeine), Iain raised an eyebrow at Dorcas. "Seriously, though - if I ever start PMSing? You need to warn me.." He groaned. "This is why I never get a date, isn't it?" Iain joked.

[/style] She grinned at his persistance. "Fine, fine, you're not a girl," Doe assured, throwing her wrist forward as if brushing it off. She couldn't help but laugh at his forgetfulness, watching as he hurried to put on their coffee. At that point she'd finished her tea and set it aside, sure a house-elf would grab it at a later time. Dorcas then sat in silence until Iain approached her again, the smell of coffee clinging to the air around them.
Laughing, she got up from her chair and hugged him. "Aw, poor Iain," she teased, letting go of him and putting on a small pouty face. "It might be the reason," Doe joked, then laughed again as she nudged him. She gave him another quick hug before she turned to face the pot of coffee. "Finished now?" she asked, the temptation of laying by the fire hot enough to burn her.
