Xavier has to stop a few strides away, since he was caught mid run.  He turned back and walked towards Albus and and Aldbert.  He listened to the instruction as he fetched his bag, redonning his school robes since he wouldn't be running he would want to be able to shake off the cold.  Hearing the instructions the two of them were given he fished a leather glove out of his bag as he began pulling it on, strapping it on tight to insure it wouldn't slip as he waited for Albus to finish.<br/><br/>He nodded to the instructions then, once albus had finished, let out a long loud whistle to call aero down.  He wanted to take his hawk with him into the woods, it'd make it easier to know what was going on ahead of them.  Aero would land on his ourstreched arm, gripping the leather glove with her talons as he shiftef the backpack on and set his wand ready for a quick draw, just in case.  "Well, then we better get going."  Xavier said as he started to walk towards the main path, forbidden or not the forest felt more like home then the castle, it reminded him of his grandfather's place back in the states.
