Cadence carefully put his hands behind his back as he listened to the story. He supposed it was like a man and his dog but with a bird. Those types though, he wondered why the bird had chosen to affiliate itself with the young man, food aside. Maybe their was some special herb in the food too.
"I believe you,"
At least it seemed like he knew what he was doing even if he was stoned to some sort of high heavens.
"What's your story, as in what did you do before you got here, camping aside of course."

He frowned "I'm not a fan of talking about that," He says "Basically fought with my parents due to my abilities, and some other stuff" He looked down to his bowl seeing it was empty "Bugger"
Great now his high was gone. Helios didn't seem to happy his head bowed. James looked to the girl and then to the guy. "What about you two?" He asks curiously. Despite being at Hogwarts he never cared much for people he usually spent all his free time learning spells and going out into the forbidden forest.

Cadence listened and he was deciding if he should be an open book or not. He sighed a little bit. He wanted his story to be different, he wanted to stand out but the sad truth was that he was normal, at least it appeared that way anyway.
He removed his hands from his back and kneeled down so that he was now facing Milly. Yes the undersized house elf that he did not know. He wanted it to leave with him though. He thought he could teach it a thing or two. Besides it was easier to bond with someone who just perhaps stared at you blankly without voicing their opinions.
Shrugging with his back towards the two people he spoke. His tone was a little more serious than it had been previous but in no way was it scary. He was just eye to eye with the house elf. Perhaps he was looking to see if any signs of life were truly behind her eyeballs.
"I.."
He gently began to swipe his thumb across the house elf's upper eyebrow area. He did not have a fetish or anything like that but every thing and every one he met he considered unique in some way.
"I ran away from danger, but I mean everyone does at one point and time right? Point being, when I go back to it, I'm going to be more determined and courageous face to face. So basically when I got sorted into gryffindor, I was not surprised. I'm tired of running anyway, need to face how I got where I am so I can maybe be better in the end."
He put his hand up and slowly began to make the house elf mimick his hand motions but using her own hand.
"Plus I think I'm going to teach Milly here a few things."
He turned to the guy.
"I'm pretty boring, maybe our female company will be more interesting, but do you let your bird.."
He paused trying to think of how to word it.
"Nevermind."
If he asked if he let the bird smoke too and he said yes, Cadence would laugh.

Daniyah had remained silent, focusing her attention to the cake and listening with patient, tolerant ears. As each of the lumps disappeared from the batter she reaped satisfaction from the velvety dark batter, stopping only when it was perfectly smooth. Lifting the spoon up she trailed her index finger along the side of the spoon just to taste. It was perfect. Setting the spoon aside (to lick clean later) she laid out four cake pans and began filling each one with the silken mixture. "Hmm, I'm making vegan chocolate cake," she responded first, large dark eyes trained on the task at hand, not even taking a second to break her focus. "But it is also the best cake in the world, in my honest opinion," she added haughtily, but not without the sweetest of smiles.
As each of the boys told their stories she listened. It was no secret to those that knew her that Dani loved to learn about other peoples lives- their culture, their values, and even their struggles. Tolerance had been a core value she had been raised with and Dani had long since come to believe that one could gain invaluable knowledge from the experiences of others. When it was her turn she put the large mixing bowl down, all of the batter now dispersed evenly through each of the cake pans. She blew a strand of hair from her face that had migrated down from the sloppy bun that sat atop her head.
"Well, I am not nearly so cryptic like you two," she started, side-eying Cadence deliberately as he toyed with the house elf. "But I was born in a country a bit ways from here, in a very tiny village that had been war torn and ravaged. It was a place rather different from here, culturally, where witches were actively persecuted and burned... So my mother gave me up, and I spent quite some time living in an orphanage before I was adopted by my Mothers. I live a very normal life besides that, and my family is so very important to me. In my spare time I like to do yoga, meditate, travel... read. I really honestly like to learn a little bit of everything," she mused openly. Daniyah was an open book (for the most part) and saw no point in denying or hiding her past.

He nodded and looked at the male smirking "No" He says smiling "I hotbox him" He says laughing a bit, "He can't quite do it without burning the paper to a crisp or tempering glass pipes or melting metal ones" He says.
He looks to the girl and raises an eyebrow "Vegan chocolate?" He said questioningly, "I thought chocolate was vegan friendly? Or at least dark chocolate"
Food always picked his interest. If his metabolism wasn't so fast he would be one of the fat stoners from the American movies he and his dad watch. Helios let out a chirp jumping over to the counter next to the girl. "Sorry he gets curious" He says looking at the Pans with cake mix his head tilted to the side, "get away from there Helios"

Cadence turned around so that he could keep an eye on the bird. He looked down at Milly. He'd address the house elf in a minute.
"James, it seems Daniyah,"
Now all the names were out there.
"Is throwing a party. Now that it seems like it's the type of party that we need an invite too which is what I was working on when you came but it's no big deal."
Cadence turned to Daniyah.
"We're coming to your party. I mean James and I."
Cadence was just going to start pretending they were friends. They were in the same house after all and he would look over the bird.
"That's also what the cake is for."
He looked at Milly. He finally had the perfect idea. First though he needed a few things.
"Hey either of you two know where I can find some paint, pencils, and stencils?"
Art was all about expression right?

"Chocolate is vegan, cake not so much. Butter, eggs, and milk," Daniyah responded, her voice taking on an edge as the bird closed in on her pans. She quickly swept them up one by one, sliding them into the oven behind her before the bird could do any damage to her drudgery. Setting the timer she turned back to Cadence, a brow arched high as he invited himself and James to her party. "Is that so?" she questioned, picking up the spoon and licking it thoughtfully as she leaned forward on the counter. "Well before your friend came in, I was going to say that I do need a date, but I suppose the two of you actually make a very cute couple," she playfully teased before moving away from the counter, removing her wand, and slackly began levitating her dirtied dishes to the sink that seemed to suds up autonomously. "That's fine, you uh- three- can come," she eyed the bird apprehensively. "Art supplies?" she echoed inquisitively. "Perhaps where ever they teach the muggle art class?"

James looked at the two before throwing a seed to his bird as it ate it and looked around. "I'm not wearing a tux" He said plainly to the both of them. "I look awful in them and they're just so..." He shivered "Propper" He said the word with disgust. "I might wear a nice polo shirt but no tux" He said t eyeballing Cadence who had just dragged him to a party.
He looked to Daniyah with a goofy smile, "Oh but don't let me get in your way doll, My date has red feathers and blows up every two years." He looked to Helios who flew over to him flapping his wings before landing on his head, "Besides I don't date...Especially younger people, No offense Cadence" He says,"But if Daniyah won't ask you Helios loves dancing"
He let out a chuckle and walked around the kitchen getting a good look at the place.

Totally awkward. The whole situation..he just wanted to go to the party, possibly do something to consume stuff he should not behind someone's back and then never have it mentioned again.
"I'm good."
Awkward. He felt awkward, like really awkward. He was not sure if it was the mention of James taking his bird as a date or just the mentions of dates period.
"I'm going to get supplies."
He could have went into detail about what he needed it for, but that would come at a later time.
"I'm taking Milly with me, I'll return her soon enough. I'll see the two of you soon enough."
He was not being rude, he just needed supplies and sleep too. He waved goodbye as he stepped to the side, letting Milly walk ahead of him.
ooc: i didn't tag it with end in case you guys wanted to do one more thing but if not it can be considered ended.

James smiled "Night" He says looking over to Daniyah, "I'll see you around" =s he walks to the door. He was tired now and by the looks of it Helios was too. "We're heading off to bed" He says as he draws his wand "Lumos" He mumbles as his wand tip began to glow.
He smiled "I'll try making it to your party" He says with a smirk as he left. "All I need to do is find a polo shirt" He grumbled. Heios flew out after him leaving a pile of red feathers in the doorway as he jumped onto James. "Now to fid our way back buddy

"Tux? It's not-..." she started, but let it trail away as Cadence became precipitously stiff. Perhaps she had been a bit too forward, but Daniyah was- well... She was open and honest, and if that meant she made others uncomfortable then so be it. She would not apologize for that.
Daniyah watched as the two boys left rather abruptly and couldn't help but to flippantly roll her eyes, a break from her usual polite disposition. Lord, you would have thought she had asked them to marry her with that sort of reaction! And he took her House Elf helper!
Finishing up the dishes she then set to work on finishing her cake with the same enthusiasm she had shown earlier.
(( OOC: thread closed! ))
