No sooner had he fallen for Vonali that night, did he send an owl out to get her a present. He had always been thought that was the proper thing to do to show a girl just how interested you are in them. It was one thing to ask someone out on a date a whole different thing to give them a gift when you asked.
It arrived just before the weekend he had had his worries since the song wasn't a wizarding one it seemed. He opened it to check that it was working properly and that it was the right song. It was perfect! This day was going to be perfect! Why did he feel so nervous about it though? It wasn't the first time he had asked someone out.
Attor placed the locket in the box before heading to the common room where he was supposed to meet Vonali before taking her to the room the teachers were letting him use for practice. He smoothed out his shirt over his gym like shorts. He wasn't used to wearing a shirt to practice anymore, but he felt self conscious with Von going to be there.

Vonali had spent forever searching for something appropriate for her practice. She wasn't one to normally worry about it but seeing as she didn't want to wear anything that could hinder her once they started moving.
On a side note she laid out a second outfit for her date later that evening with Kenny. She was a bit nervous as this would be their first gathering since they'd talked and seemingly gotten back together. Apparently her day off with Attor had her in such a good mood that she had been able to talk civilly with him.
She'd finally decided on a pair of tight gray jeans and a simple sleeveless black shirt with her bright red shoes. No she didn't match but this wasn't about looking good. As she trotted towards the common room she caught sight of Attor messing with his shirt and she smiled brightly. " Looking pretty snazzy there, Dragon." Sure the name was prolly not that unique but it's what she came up with on the spot.

Actually no one had ever called him that before he turned his head round blinking for a moment. "Dragon....I like that." Attor said with a laugh. He turned to face her and took a deeper breath to steady himself. He was to busy looking at her face to notice what she was wearing really.
"Um...." Attor looked down at the box in his hands before smiling and offering it to Vonali. "I got you a little something....And I've got a question, but gift first." Attor said with an almost nervous sounding laugh.
Almost nervous was not what he was though. He was beside himself on the inside. When he had asked Naomi it had felt nothing like this did.

Vonali smiled glad she'd picked a name he liked. " Oh a gift! You shouldn't have!" It was clear that she was thrilled the idea and actually skipped up to take the box. Today was just getting better and better. Opening it her eyes got really big. It was a music note and beautiful. " Oh wow! Put it on!" She lifted the necklace out and handed to Attor to put on as she turned around and lifted her hair.
As she patiently waited she remembered what she needed to tell him. " Oh and can we end a bit early today? I've got a date with Kenny. Seems he's been in detention all term." She turned to offer him a smile, clearly happy.

Attor had indeed chosen a good gift then. He moved to put it on her with a big smile on his face. Attor would tell her the special part of this enchanted necklace then ask her to date him, yes all was going according to plan.
"I'm so glad you like it. You see......" But before Attor could go on she spoke again. And what she said made his heart ache suddenly. He thought she was through with Kenny! She was gonna move on that's what she had said! Wasn't it?! His face twisted with his disappointment. He couldn't let her see that. Some how he had managed to mess up yet again and let himself get attached to someone who didn't like him back. Damn it! He cursed inwardly, he had to excuse himself someone how. Otherwise she would no doubt be able to tell he was upset and he didn't want that.
"Yeah, well just thought it would be like a um thanks for being my friend gift......." He wasn't about to tell her about the enchanted part it would seem out of place now. He completely forgot about the boxing lesson now and he turned slightly as if starting to leave. He schooled his expression as she turned to him and smiled. "I gotta....go feed Amduat I sorta...forgot." Was that believable he wasn't sure at the moment.

Vonali grabbed his hand as it snapped shut and smiled at him. At his words she let go. " Well hurry up, we've got to get to practice." Her smile faded as she looked at Attor's face. Had she done something wrong? Something seemed off but she figured he'd tell her if it was any of her business. After all they trusted each other. She was so thankful to have him.
As she waited for him to return she held the necklace smiling and studying it. It was truly a work of art. And she of course loved it.

Attor blinked when she grabbed his hand he almost wanted to huff. Half of him felt lead on, but it reminded himself it was Von and they were friend. Just friends and that's how they would stay it seemed.
"Right practice." Attor repeated before nodding his head and making for his room as if to feed Amduat. He kicked his chest at the end of his bed feeling rather stupid. At least he had this moment to clear himself and act as if nothing had happened.
After what seemed like a long enough time Attor came back. He was much more calm mentally then before so all signs of something being wrong was gone from his face. Though in truth he was in no mood for kick boxing with her right now. "Come lets go then." Attor called as he motioned for her to follow him. He ignored that she was admiring the necklace and hoped the locket part wouldn't open by mistake.

She smiled at him but realizing his mood had changed she altered her demeanor back to her own usual smirk. She quickly caught up with him and kept pace with him. " So where are we going?" She kept her voice light but not as carefree as it'd been the other day.
Seemed she was bound and determined to have a decent day even after the night she'd had last night. With a sigh she decided she'd wait ti tell him about Kenny and Marc's fight til she understood it a bit better.

"Down towards the main hall. There is a empty room there its small but the teacher let me set up exercise equipment in there as long as I let other people use it. So far no one seems interested." Attor said with a smile of relief.
Attor was determined Von not know how he felt right now. He doubted he would ever tell her what had just happened. He didn't want her to think he was like Marc or something.
Attor seemed to be a little quite as they walked down the hall. He opened the door to the room and motioned for her to go in. There were several punching bags and plenty of room to spare. "What do you want start with?"

Von nodded but also was silent during the walk to the classroom. Her head was filled with thoughts of how Marc and Kenny both reacted to everything but in the end Attor had been right to just move on. She never should have forced Marc to talk to her.
As the door opened her eyes widen and she stepped in. "This is amazing! What a great room!" She walked over and looked over the whole room. Before flashing Attor a large smile. " I have no idea! You're in charge here, you advise me. You know where I stand." She refused to let last night ruin her good day. And she absentmindedly moved the pendant back and forth on it's chain already completely comfortable with it there.

Attor looked at Vonali now that his initial shock was worn off, he could tell something was going on in her mind too. Normally he would have asked, but right now he feared she could tell something was up with him.
"It's ok." Attor commented, it was nothing like his old gym at home. Or the one he planned to build in his new home. Honestly he could buy one, but there was no one willing to sell to someone his age. It was quite bothersome really.
"Let's just warm up on a bag I guess." Attor said before walking over and holding the bag for her. "Just do five reps with your right leg then 5 with your left, then repeat till you wanna switch to punching."

Vonali nodded and stepped up to the bag. As she waited for Attor to get into place she let her face slid into one of concentration and as soon as he was ready she did as she was asked.
Her kicks and strikes were kept as close to her body as possible. She liked reserving her energy for the actual attack and was very silent as she did it. She needed silence in her chosen path so it was no surprise that she didn't even attempt to talk.

Attor held the bag with ease giving her tips as she moved through the kicks. He was quite for awhile just watching her and thinking.
He soon realized though that she seemed to be trying hard to keep something out of her mind. Attor realized it couldn't be about him at all. "Von....is something bothering you? That look on your face I can't help, but think something is wrong."

Vonali silently changed her stance and limbs as he directed but still hadn't said much. As he asked what was wrong she punched the bag with a little more force than before. She looked up at him and shook her head. " It's nothing more then my inability to understand your gender." She looked at him for a moment before rushing to clarify it wasn't him. " You haven't done anything. It's Marc and Kenny. " She punched the bag again.
" I know I shouldn't' have but after clearing up the problem with Kenny I was hoping clearing things up with Marc would be just as easy." She sighed and lowered her fists and looked at him a bit sadly. " I should have moved on."
She started pacing as she wove the tale. " First Kenny had to break into the Hufflepuff room and drag Marc to the meeting. Then he said he could never watch me be with someone else." Her face took on one of deep hurt at this. " So I told him I'd drop it but I didn't want us to hate each other. That was important, ya know." She looked up at him hoping he understood. But as her eyes watered she turned back around to continue pacing.
" Marc hugged me, and then he said he had to and he didn't care if I never forgave him. Before I could react he kissed me. The next instant Kenny was beating him to a bloody pulp. Marc never defended himself." By now the tears were falling but she refused to recognize them. " I left Marc up in the tower alone, under Kenny's arm." She took a big breath and looked at Attor. " Did I do the right thing?"

Attor blinked at her first statement worried that he had done something wrong. He was some what relieved to hear it was about Marc and Kenny. He held onto the bag keeping a sigh inside his mind.
Attor let go of the bag when she started to pace to watch her. He furrowed his brow this already didn't sounded bad.
He folded his arms at the mention of Kenny breaking into the Hufflepuff room to drag Marc out. That was a horrible idea in an of itself, you should never force someone Attor would have thought Vonali to know better then that.
Attor walked over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Your intentions were well founded, but I'm afraid the method was what made it all go wrong. You shouldn't have had Kenny there at all. Why didn't you ask me to help you with this? I don't really know Marc, but I'm sure being dragged out to talk already put him in a stubborn mood from the get go."
He sighed as he saw she was crying and offered her a towel for her tears. "Come on now don't cry. Look just move on from Marc I know its hard, but its his loss to act this way not yours."
