Who: OPEN! Hop on in! Where: School grounds When: Monday afternoon/early evening. Just before Dinner, I'd imagine. What: Keagan doing Keagan-y things in the courtyard.
After Earth Class, Keagan waved bye to Astrid as she went off to witchcraft class. He wandered out to the courtyard to practice what they had learned in class that day. Sure, it was rather elementary and far below the level of what Keagan could do, but sometimes it was good to get back to basics. He found a bit of courtyard where the snow had started to melt away and muttered a few words under his breath, flicked his wrists in a specific way, then lifted his hands, palms up, until the dirt under the snow cracked through it's icy shield and lifted up about 3 inches above the rest of the snow covered ground. The spot of dirt was about 10 foot by 10 foot, and Keagan planned on replacing it when he was done. He sat himself down in the middle of the dirt plot, uncaring if he got dirty, and started forming little mud and soil animals.
By the time the sun was setting, he had a little zoo's worth of miniature animals, including a few dinosaurs, a dragon, and a sphinx. The creatures sat motionless around him, some in dynamic poses, like a hawk diving for a field mouse and an elephant rearing, but they were just simple statues formed with magic.
