"They just—" A french bulldog comes up and starts licking Wyatt's ankle. "Like me, I guess? Hey, do you..." Wyatt looks at Jupiter now with big hazel eyes, then slowly starts to walk towards her, his entourage of animals trailing behind.
Then he trips on his shoe laces and falls flat on his face.

The birds momentarily flutter away, then land right back on Wyatt once he's face-planted. The french bulldog immediately runs up to start nuzzling the side of Wyatt's face, and Jupiter sets aside the overwhelming urge to go pet the dog first to kneel down and check on Wyatt.
The concern on her face is real enough, though mixed plainly with confusion. She lights a hand on his shoulder, shaking him less gently than she probably should. More of a jostling, really. "Hey buddy that was quite a spill. You still got all your teeth?"

"Yeah," he groans. It's not the worst spill he's ever taken, there wasn't even a broom involved, but it'll leave bruises. That's all forgotten when he looks up to see absolute queen Jupiter Quigley. He gets to his knees, taking her hand to pull himself up. He's overcome with butterflies in his stomach.
Or maybe that's less the butterflies and more the strange mixing of several different potion-laced cupcakes. Suddenly, Wyatt doubles over and throws up all over his queen's shoes, a smooth rainbow of half digested cake and icing.

"Ohmigod," Jupiter says, because what else do you say to throw up that looks a little bit like a melted unicorn all over your sneaks. A passing moment of some weirdly misplaced anger-disgust-frustrated flickers across her face, but the instinct to damage control is stronger than the urge to shout about ruined shoes.
Anyway, the frenchie is making a bee line for Wyatt's slightly used cupcake mush, and she has to throw a hand out to catch the dog by the face to keep him from getting it. "Uh," she says, reaching the other hand out tentatively to pat a gentle circle on Wyatt's back. "The fuck, dude? You feeling better now?"

"Woof, alright," Jupiter cringes, nose wrinkling. For a second, she holds that pose, unsure of what to do. Well, not unsure of what to do, unsure if it's really what she wants to do. It is, she supposes. Wyatt looks like he's about to horf again any second, and clearly he's eaten something that's swirled his brain right up. Just leaving him like this makes her own stomach feel weird (or is that just the smell?). "That didn't look like forty cuppy cakes worth of vom, so I'm gonna get you a trash can."
She scoops the random french bulldog up under her arm like a quaffle — who does this even belong to?? — and stands while it scrambles and whines, getting nowhere in her grip, and kicks a waste basket in Wyatt's direction with her filthy shoes. There's really no way to look cool while mom-ing and underclassman. Oh well. "Want water, too?"
