'Oh yeah, thanks for that!' Jason scoffed, mock annoyance lacing his voice as he tried to wiped the horse spit that the young girl had deposited on his sleeve, off vigorously. 'Serves you right for not having any treats on you' He said to the blonde with a small smile, fishing out some small cashew nuts from the inside of his bag. This had been for him for the journey, but he knew that he had a banquet to come in the great hall and he didn't think he'd eat them anyway. 'Here you go fella' Jason said soothingly to the horse, opening his hand and letting the horse feed from it.
When the horse had finished, Jason removed his hand from underneath the horses mouth and wiping it down his trousers. This outfit was already ruined, so there was no harm done. As he did this, Jason caught a reflection of himself in the gleaming windows of the carriage and his hand automatically went up to his hair. It had become a little frazzled in the long journey and it looked a little as if he'd been dragged through a hedge backwards. Jason contemplated grabbing his comb out of his bag and sorting it out here, but knew that Lacy would probably tease him for it. Best not, he'd sort it out later.
'Worried?' He said, turning away from his reflection to look at Lacy, she didn't look like the journey had affected her at all. She was the same pretty girl he'd always remembered. 'I'm a little nervous, but it'll pass' He confided in her quietly, giving her a soft smile. He was a big boy, he'd be able to look after himself, he was sure of it. He was smart and a very tactile person, he just wasn't sure whether he had the stamina.
Jason's attention came back to Lacy, his best friend. His heart had sank a little bit when he had found out she would be coming. Not because he didn't want her here, but because he didn't want her to get hurt. He found himself becoming extremely protective of the young female and he wasn't entirely sure why. He really didn't know how he'd feel if the goblet of fire threw out her name, He couldn't stop her, he knew that. Jason knew he'd support her, but he would be extremely worried. 'Are you?' He asked Lacy. Directing her own question back at her.
