Dan smirked slightly as Keagan began her laughing, apparently she had given up on not laughing. Or trying to, anyway. His smirk grew into a small smile when he had finally stopped tickling several minutes later. " Ok, ok. " He said to her softly. Dan had moved during the 'festivities' so he leaned back a few inches or so, just so he wasn't hanging over Keagan when he spoke next, " Give? " He asked.

Keagan was still trying to regain her breath when Dan had stopped tickling, and her breaths were coming in small gasps, but her face was bright with the afterglow of laughter. As he leaned back, she sat up a bit, smoothing out her skirt and silently cursing that it was a required part of uniform. Smiling, Keag turned to Dan when he asked his question, but then adopted her customary raised eyebrow as part of her slightly puzzled look.
"Give? And lose my chance to find your ticklish spots?" she asked, though if that hadn't been the case of her state of mind, Keagan would have readily said "Give" to avoid further ticklish torture.

Dan kept his smile on his face as he turned to Keagan, facing her completely now. Just as she had finished smoothing out her skirt and had looked back to him, Dan was waiting silently for an answer to his previously stated question. " Still want that hint? " He asked her with a grin that pretty much told her he would tell. Finding his ticklish spot wasn't that hard. If you knew where to look.

"Of course," Keagan replied, the look in her eyes enforcing her stated words, as well as voicing her anticipation. She opened her mouth to continue, but then shut it quickly. She refused to beg, even though that was what reflex told her to do. Instead, she adopted what could best be called the puppy dog look, complete with the eyes and facial expression.

Dan nodded as she did this then he couldn't help but laugh as she mad he puppy face at him. " Interesting, " He said with an amused look to her. " Ok, I'll tell. " Dan said, he then took one last look to Keagan before showing her where he actually was ticklish. A peculiar spot on his stomach, allthough he had resisted most of the temptation to laugh when she had poked close to this spot earlier Dan didn't think he could have lasted much longer.

Keagan's puppy face fell with Dan's amused look as she couldn't help but laugh. She then clapped gleefully as he said he'd tell her. Watching closely, she noticed that the spot he showed her was awfully close to her earlier guess. "I was that close, huh?" she asked, smirking. Then, sure she had stored the exact spot for future reference, Keagan nodded and looked back up Dan's face. "Good to know," she said, grinning from ear to ear.

" That close, " He said, holding up his fingers about an inch apart from one another. " So close, yet so far. " Dan looked back to Keagan's smirk and nodded, listening to what she said next. " Uh, huh. Lucky me, " Dan stated, his laughter following his words. " Cookies for Keagan. " He said with a grin.

"Oh shush," Keagan replied, beaming in return to Dan's grin. She'd already grown to love it, even knowing him only a short time. It lit up his face. "I like cookies," she said, winking again. "You know tickling is good for you, though, right? Anything that inspires laughter is good. Laughing is good." She laughed again for emphasis, just then to prove her point. Even though he would now be an easy target for her to take advantage of her new knowledge, considering the short distance between the two of them, Keagan decided against it at present. There were better times for such a plan.

Dan shook his head as Keagan politely told him to shut up. Jokingly, of course. " As do I, " He said, leaning back a ways against the couch behind him. Dan also laughed when Keagan did, her laughter was contagious to him. He smiled then said, " Laughter is good.... not to mention fun. " He said with as slight shrug of his shoulders.

"Indeed. Great fun," she murmured as she also leaned against the couch, but with her shoulder. Leaning her head in the opposite direction, Keagan smiled lightly as she reached out her hand in a way that could have been mistaken as a move to poke him in the ticklish spot he had revealed, but she only grasped Dan's nearest hand in her own and laced their fingers together. "So...," Keagan said as she squeezed his hand and tried to think of how to continue. "Are you planning to play Quidditch this term?"

He laughed and said, " Yeah, it is. ", comepletely agreeign with her. Dan had then backed away only a few inches as he misunderstood Keagan's movement towards him, but when she grasped his hand he had relaxed and moved over so he was sitting next to her. " Yeah, I've been wanting to. I love flying.... What about you? " He asked, looking over to her.

As Dan slid next to her, Keagan righted herself into an upright sitting position beside him, her leg running alongside his, barely touching. With every move, she was conscious that she wore a skirt as she was used to wearing them, but she all the more despised the article of clothing the longer she did. "Well, since I haven't seen Alhana around, I've been entertaining the thought of playing the position of beater, you know, permanently. But you never know, she might come back," Keagan said with a shrug. "We can always use an alternate."
((If it's before the Reception Feast, then it must be prior to Alhana's re-arrival, right?))

Dan nodded as she spoke, her voice calming alightly. " That's true. Beater's what I play but I've been thinking about what other positions I might want to play... Chaser, maybe. Some people may not be returning for this term, so you and I might be able to have the positions we want." He said with a smile and a slight shrug of his shoulders, suddenly aware of how close he was to Keagan.
(( Yeah. I think so lol ))

"Maybe...," Keagan replied, her voice trailing because she was thinking. "Until I played as Alternate, though, I hadn't really aspired for Quidditch. Flying wasn't really my thing. But then I played, and the thrill stunned me. I'm not sure I'd care what position I played, as long as it wasn't Keeper." The end of her rambling signaled to Keag that she was, indeed, rambling, and she turned her head to look at Dan's reaction. She, too, realized then just how close the two of them had ended up sitting.

Dan smiled as she described the feeling of playing for the first time in a game. It was so.... thrilling to him. It was exactly how he felt. " That first game you played was my first game, too. I loved it. " He said just as she had finished. " It's so... Real. " He said, using his hands, even the one still in Keag's hand to show how big he thought it was. Dan was also voicing his opinion he had been thinking of earlier, turning his head and looking back at her.
