Who: Trystan Chambers and Hannah Abbott. When: August 1st, 1998. Afternoon. Where: Hogsmeade. Sidewalk. What: Prompt: "I just tripped over you. Whoops." Trystan is chalk drawing and Hannah doesn't notice. Tripping happens. And meeting! Rating: Low.
The rain had held off. Hogsmeade was actually quite nice, in a relative manner, compared to how the weather could often be there. It was a great day for Trystan to get out and work on his chalk drawing piece, and he had set up shop on the sidewalk during the morning with a whole package of very nice quality chalks.
The piece he was working on was a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream, of Bottom with the ass's head, the faeries around him, and the four Athenians in the background, wandering lost through the woods. He got to work on it and the scene began to take shape - rich lush colours, surrounded by greens of the woods. The smudgey quality of the chalk game it a dreamy, etheral sort of work.
By mid-afternoon he was right into it. With chalk smudges on his face and all over his arms and the white tank top that he wore (white no longer!), Trystan was laying flat on his stomach, stretched out on the side-walk and working on one of the faeries. He was lost in what he was doing, not really paying attention to the people who paused now and then to watch - and certainly not realising that someone might walk along not noticing him and trip right over him. Which was precisely what was about to happen, and he didn't even know it....
