Thread: Bombs Fall, Witches Burn (TheSilentProtagonist and Vi)

Truth be told, its probably a good thing that Draco called out that girls name. The inferi had been getting closer, and now that the ladies noticed the duo on the outside, it makes getting into some shelter much easier. Running in past the girl at the door, Alex has his gun at the ready, hoping he wont actually have to take any shots. Fortunately, the walking corpses keep their distance, letting them safely close the door. Still, Alex keeps his eye on the window. The last thing he wants is for the practically mindless enemies to somehow get a drop on them. We were out first. If anything, the dark was just being inconsiderate by not giving us more time to get away from it. Alex replies when questioned on what they were doing. He cant really help it. Joking is his way of dealing with tense situations. Staying on his post, the black haired man tries to remember what he did to get a spell working last time. It had caused some fire to burst out, but he hadnt since been able to recreate the circumstances of its cast. Maybe there wasnt one and it had been what Draco had suggested, a burst of magic to show that he had some ability, but was still untapped. Basically, what happened to kids before they started practicing their magic. Alex then remembers seeing the girl using magic as well, and turns his attention to her. Was she the Luna Draco mentioned earlier? Shes cute at least, he can tell that much. There was something odd about the girl though. Alex cant quite place a finger on what it is though. Well, hopefully there would be plenty of time for him to find out. Before he can speak up again, the girl confirms her identity and gives a rather pointed remark to Draco. Hes a bit confused. When did his traveling partner kill anyone? The blonde wizard was pretty quiet about his past life, though Alex is sure he came from high standing. That was just something he picked up on during their travels. Draco didnt seem used to roughing it, didnt really like getting dirty, and had a constant air of superiority around him, though one he at least tried to hide. Alex tries for another joke to diffuse the situation, figuring a fight right now would only cause a lot more trouble. Not anyone who was still living. He offers before realizing the humor was maybe a bit too dark. Uh never mind Alex adds with a cough. Hopefully things could warm up. When the other girl introduces herself, he smirks at her, accepting the hand and shaking it. Im charmed though not literally, which is starting to be a real problem apparently. My name is Alexander King. You can feel free to call me Alex or King. Whichever is more comfortable for you. He mentions with a wink before nodding towards the other boy. As you know, thats Draco. I have to say, were really lucky to have run into you two. Looking back at the blonde witch, Alex cant help frowning. At least, I hope we were. Draco, whats she talking about, if you dont mind me asking. Had he been traveling all this time with a murderer? Draco is quick to defend himself. I never killed anyone! He snaps, waving his wand around uselessly before pausing. His hand shakes and he clutches the piece of wood even tighter. I I never killed anyone, but some people He looks to the floor, a sad memory playing in his mind before he shakes his head and glares at them with false confidence. Dont listen to Loony over there. Next shell be telling you about invisible hair sprites or something! How did you even end up here?
