"I guess, yeah." She shrugged again.

"So... Why are you called the Puffle gone rogue?" Roger asked.
Robin sighed. "Well I guess the story of my life has gotten around. And I have no idea how." She said. "It kind of stuck." She said, looking down again.
"We all have secrets," Roger said. "Some keep theirs better than others. Keep your secrets close."
Robin nodded. "That's for sure." She looked back up at him. "Hey do you want to join me for some butterbeer or something?"
'WHAT??' She yelled at herself in her head. 'Did you SERIOUSLY just ask him??'
'WHAT??' She yelled at herself in her head. 'Did you SERIOUSLY just ask him??'
"Uh…" Roger weighed the pros and cons in his head. "I-I suppose that would be... fun?"
Robin looked around and pointed down the road. "This way, right?"
Robin smiled slightly. "Ok then." She said and then began walking next to Roger. She looked around, examining the roads and trying to learn them.
Robin nodded. "Yeah, very. What about you?" She asked, looking up at him.
"Yeah... Kinda," Roger said. "You don't seem new."
Robin looked confused. "Why?"
"I don't know. You just seem very well adjusted," Roger said.
Robin nearly laughed. "Well adjusted? No, definitely not. I just got a very good tour of the grounds." She said.
Roger chuckled. "Maybe," he said. "Here we are." He gestured to a homey place: The Three Broomsticks.
((Three Broomsticks!))
Robin smiled and walked in.
Robin smiled and walked in.
Robin walked along the paths, looking around. She realized Hogsmeade was her new favorite place to visit. She smiled at all the activities.
Roger silently read a book, sitting on a marble bench. He was so immersed, he had no idea of his surroundings.
Robin continued walking until she saw someone familiar reading on a bench. She walked up and realized it was Roger. "Hey Roger." She smiled and said quietly.
Roger glanced up and looked at his watch. He scowled and put his book away. "Hello," he said, looking at Robin.
Robin smiled slightly. "Mind if I sit with you?" She asked.
"I suppose," Roger said with a sigh. He scooted over.
Robin sat and smiled. "Thanks. How've you been?"
Robin raised her eyebrows. "I've been good thanks. Why miserable?"
"I'm always miserable," Roger said. "I'm surprised that it's a surprise to you."
"You weren't completely miserable when we talked the other day were you?" She asked.
"I suppose not completely," Roger said. I was forty-five percent happy."
"That makes me feel so much better." Robin said, crossing her arms jokingly.
"Well, what do you want from me?" Roger asked.
"I was joking." Robin reassured him. She kept her arms crossed as she looked around.
"Well... There's you, Wisteria, and Khon. That's about it so far." She said.
"You made more progress than I," Roger said, scowling.
"Have you made any new friends?" She asked and met his gaze.
"Well you've got me." She shrugged. "Though I'm not much help."
"I know," Roger grumbled. "How're classes?" he asked, changing the subject.
"They're.... Interesting." Robin said. "They are a bit confusing but also quite fun."
"Fun," Roger said. "Yeah, okay." He looked at the people walking, secretly envious.
"I'm sorry. I'm boring you. I'll leave." Robin said quietly and stood to go.
Robin stopped and looked towards him. "Yeah?"
"You're not boring me," Roger said quietly.
Robin's eyes lit up. "Um, thanks I guess. It's nice not to be boring." She laughed slightly and sat back down.
"Well, I never said you were boring," Roger said.
"Others have. People can be pretty straightforward can't they?" She asked, though not really expecting an answer.
"Yes. They can," Roger said quietly. He shook his head. "Been to the Three Broomsticks lately?"
