Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adelai leaned over, looking at Persephone as she laughed and sat up a bit. Thankfully, she also seemed to be feeling okay. If she'd gotten hurt, he'd have felt horrible. He offered a small chortle, his mismatched eyes sparkling in the reflection of sun on the snow. As she spoke up and said she had kept her head from plonking on the ground, Adi let out a soft sigh that curled up toward the sky. His sigh turned into a laugh when she then said his supposed "plan" of getting her eliminated from the quidditch game must have been the reason. "Whaaaaaat? Nooooo!" He laughed back, hoping that her sense of humor meant she was feeling fine.

"If I wanted to take out the competition, I'd do it closer to game day! If I do it now, you'd be all back to better before the game." He teased back, knowing he'd never attempt something like that. He valued the gameplay too much to try something sneaky and underhanded. "Besides, I'm not exactly the fastest getaway, so it'd be very silly to plot against someone who's main job it is to fire cannonballs at people at high speeds." He laughed again, thinking that if anyone was going to try and take out the competition, it'd probably be someone way faster on foot than he was. Assuming, of course, that anyone would do that in general. Maybe on the pro levels?

He watched her sit up, glad that she was feeling well enough to do that much. He was happy that she was still willing to help, even despite her having fallen on the last attempt. "I sure would appreciate it. Turning into an ice-pop probably won't be great for my grades. And if grades fall, I can't play. It's all part of the package." When she cast a charm, he bit his lip, nervously watching to see if he was going to sink further in. Thankfully, his wheels were didn't have a lot of spokes, otherwise he'd be cleaning mud out of them for days! As the snow melted, Adi pushed on the wheels, hoping it was just enough to get them out of the mud. "What if we put something under the wheels? Make a little ramp or something so I can get traction." Maybe he could use his jacket or something... or some wood planks? But where would they get wood planks.....

This... had turned out very weird. Five minutes ago he'd been worried about freezing solid, but now he was a little glad his wheel had gotten stuck. Persephone was super fun to talk to, even if she did think he might be trying to take out the competition. She claimed he didn't have the mind of a criminal and he chuckled. "Or maybe I do and this is the long con." He teased back, eyes sparkling with merriment at the silly conversation. "It's the wheels. They make me seem like a poor lil innocent guy. Secretly, I'm plotting against other players in the snow... apparently." Adi sent over a wink as well, still laughing over their absurd conversation.

While she was testing the iciness of the ground, Adi tried to work the wheel up. Yep. Without some traction, he might just be stuck. Maybe she could go get Seb, who could get his walking frame.... or just lift him. It wasn't like he weighed a lot.... hm. "I'm definitely gonna tell dad that I need snow wheels next year. And a traction board with an attachment... Maybe I can design a little... clip thing..." Adi pondered for a moment, knowing he'd probably get the brunt of the design, as he usually did with his own chairs. That was the perk of being the kid of the guy who made stuff like that.

His thoughts were interrupted when she mumbled something, and before he knew it, she had pulled her coat off and worked to jam it under the wheels. ["What are you doing! Oh man, not your coat!" He tried to protest, but of course, it was already too late. He worked on the wheels, trying to get them up enough. "I promise I'll pay you back for any damage. But um. Can you push while I try to spin the wheels? If we work together, we can get it out." He felt no end of guilt and would pay for a new coat anyway, but it was too late to stop her now, so they might as well do their best. Maybe it could be fine with just a cleaning charm or two?

"If this works, remind me not to aim for you.... first." He teased, trying to keep things lighthearted and silly so she wouldn't get grumpy. He'd dealt with more than one person who'd been annoyed at his wheels or walker, though thankfully not since he got to Hogwarts. He didn't exactly want to revisit primaries, though.
