Finn's ears perked up slightly as she didn't deny she wanted to, but he was let down by her next comments. "Oh," he said simply, not knowing what else to say, "That's cool. Not the breaking up, that's awful but the hanging out thing. We could hang out. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to put you in a difficult place or anything, I was just wond--" but he stopped again, "Sorry."
Finn muttered the last word almost silently, still not looking at Keagan. If he was smart he could have just gotten up and gone back to his dorm. However, Finn wasn't that swift. "So, uhh...hang out?" he asked tentatively.
(I'm out for the night. C-ya)

"Oh, no...Don't be like that," she exclaimed. "I just don't want you to be a rebound, you know?"
He hadn't known, had no way to know, and if the situation was different, she probably would have said "Yes" without a second thought. After the night he'd had up to now, Finn deserved better.
"I'd like that," she replied quietly to his tentative question with a smile.
((Okey doke! See ya later.))

Rebound. A word Finn wasn't too fond of, but he could see where she was coming from. Maybe he had been right, in some ways. Keagan obviously cared enough to not want to use him as a rebound when she could have done it easily and he never would have known, but she didn't. Maybe there was something a little more.
Best not to get high hopes, Finn told himself. However, as he heard Keagan agree to just hang out, he couldn't help but get his hopes up slightly. "Brilliant!" he replied happily, looking at Keagan again and lighting up slightly, "So um...when? I mean, when's good for you?"

Keagan was glad that Finn seemed happier after her explanation. Her last relationship had been a rebound, and she knew just how poorly that worked out. She would never want to go through that again, or put anyone else through it, either. The Gryffindor couldn't help but regret how she had treated Dean in the end of it all.
"Indeed!" Keagan replied with a bright smile. "Well, pretty much anything. I really don't have anything going on most of the time, besides prefect stuff. So...tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow's good for me," Finn nodded with a broad grin. He was starting to get giddy now, and that was never a good thing. he shifted his sitting position again, as he resisted the urge to jump up and down. Finn couldn't believe he was being so uncool about this. The Ravenclaw forced himself to calm down so he wouldn't blow it.
"Where do you wanna meet?" he asked.

"Alright, tomorrow then," Keagan restated with a nod, despite how lame it sounded that she repeated it for a third time. She slid further back upon the stair so she could think.
"I don't know. The...Entrance Hall?" she suggested.

"Entrance Hall works," Finn replied with another nod, "What time?" Finn leaned back again, starting to fidget more. The harder he tried to fight it, the stronger the urge to do it became. He groaned internally, trying to stay as still as he could. Finn began drumming his fingers on his knees to some tune that was only audible to him.
Finn looked up at Keagan again, his eyes finding hers. He sighed deeply, letting himself get lost in them for a moment and he completely forgot where he even was. When he snapped out of it, he carried on with his original train of thought. "11:00 or 11:30 sound OK?" he questioned.

"What time?" Keagan thought about the question a moment, but didn't really have an idea of when a good time would be, other than anytime that was good for Finn. The moment she had lifted her gaze to tell him this was the same moment that Finn's eyes found hers. Stuck in the moment for a few seconds, Keagan felt the color rise in her cheeks and she pulled her gaze away when he spoke again. 'Oh dear,' she thought.
"Perfect," she replied, looking up at him again in order to give a smile, but looking away soon after.
The hour then occured to her once again. "I suppose we should continue on up," Keagan stated, though she didn't yet make a move to get up.

Finn noticed the colour and how she looked away quickly, but said nothing. He couldn't help but grin and he felt that strange giddiness come back. Were guys supposed to get like that? It was just creepy.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Finn said, although he noticed Keag not bothering to stand. He chuckled and pulled himself up using the banister. He was still slightly dizzy from his earlier crash, but shook his head and shook it off. "May I help," Finn inquired, offering his hand to help the girl up.

"You're sure you're okay to go, right?" Keagan asked, still not trusting that she had managed to completely help him with the charm.
Placing her hand in his and allowing Finn to help her up, Keagan flashed him a quick grin. "Thank you kindly," she stated with the accent of a Southern belle.

Finn chuckled slightly as Keagan asked if he was OK, yet again. He was fine, it was all fixed now. Thanks to her. "I'm totally fine," he told her, "Seriously. I'm good to go."
Flashing her a smile as well, Finn attempted his own little Southern accent. "And you're welcome very kindly, ma'am," he replied, knowing how horrible his impression was, "I'm sorry, I tried." He bowed his head pathetically and chuckled.

"You did just fine, Sugar Plum!" Keagan exclaimed, patting the back of Finn's hand with her free one and continuing to use the accent. With that, Keagan giggled giddily at her impersonation and bounced up a stair. She was feeling a bit lightheaded now; maybe she had stood too fast? Regardless, she didn't pay the airy feeling much mind.

Finn let out a laugh as he was called "Sugar Plum" and he did a little curtsy. He started up the stairs behind Keagan, finally letting go of her hand. Finn really didn't want to let go, but he figured it might get kind of weird if he held on any longer, considering what Keagan had just told him about the whole break up.
Coming up beside her, Finn looked around at the floor they were on now. "Where are we?" the Welsh boy asked, looking around, "First floor? Second? I lost track." Finn grinned and chuckled slightly, finding it rather amusing that he'd gotten lost simply by being on the stairs. That, took a lot of skill.

Feeling her hand slip from Finn's, Keagan walked up the last couple stairs to the landing before turning to answer his question.
"Um..." Keagan hummed in thought as she looked around the floor and tried to pinpoint their position. "Looks like first floor to me," she answered with a nod. Then, she laughed. "We sure didn't get too far, did we?"

Finn snickered as he answered her. "Guess we didn't," he replied with a warm smile, "Oh well. I don't really mind. Aside from the house-point deduction, the falling on my head and then falling on my face, it's been a great night." Finn laughed again, as he was actually telling the truth. The fact that Keagan had decided to hang out with him made all the rest of that seem like it didn't matter.
Skipping along gleefully to the next set of stairs, Finn jumped on to the bottom one and turned back to face Keagan. "This is going to take forever, isn't it?" he asked with a mischievous grin.
