Summary: Corrie didn't know Lorcan was in Britain until he nearly hit her with a kite. Lorcan still doesn't know who was in the lion costume.
There wasn't much of a breeze when Lorcan arrived at the weekly meeting of the kite club, but it was sunny and not too warm -- it was a good day for running around trailing a kite. A bunch of kite regulars were bunched together on one side of the Quidditch pitch; when Lorcan joined them, he was greeted cheerfully but the conversation stayed centered on which kites each member wanted to fly today. Most of the kites being prepared were lighter varieties appropriate to the light breeze.
Lorcan wasn't sure who had arranged for the kite club to meet on one of the professional Quidditch pitches this week, but it was clearly a challenging location. The pitch was large and flat, but the stands blocked the wind and directed it unpredictably near ground level, and there were some Quidditch related activities -- mascots practicing? -- at the other end of the pitch. Hazards of the course.
Lorcan's kite was the first kite he'd brought to one of these meetings; he thought regretfully that it might be a bit too heavy for the wind today, but when he brought it out a couple of other members drifted over to take a look and offer advice. By the time he was ready to fly it, he was fairly confident he could at least get it into the air.
He had to go pretty far down the pitch to find a clear enough space -- he definitely didn't want to risk tangling one of the other member's strings if his didn't fly as expected, but the mascots looked like they were taking a break anyway. Lorcan checked one last time to make sure his kite was ready to fly.
