Immediately she knew that it was strange rolling off her tongue. In a quick need to draw attention away from the fact that she had said something so obscure, the Slytherin took a step forward, "were you looking at the name plates?!"

Because that would be a far better topic of conversation, right? The other thing would be far too uncomfortable. While some of her new dormmates liked to step into discomfort, Nina was quite the opposite. She loved her comfort zone. It was safe. And welcoming. And never asked too many questions. It's why she enjoyed spending time with Calloway. He never pushed her and typically he let her take control of the conversation. She could always divert conversation, redirecting it from herself to him. He never noticed. Or if he did, he didn't seem to take issue to it.

Ethan was the same way. And so was Józef. Most of the boys she surrounded herself with were, to be quite honest. There were only a few who didn't let her get away with it. Eiji Rasting being one of the frontrunners in that respect. Ironically, he had become one of her close friends despite this irritating tendency of his not to let her control.

.....Uh.

Did she just...use the word totally?

No, nothing was wrong with the word itself per se. It was a truly acceptable word in the English language, with its entirely and completely as its synonyms, but it never struck Drewett as a word he would ever hear from Nina Castillo of all people. His jaw dropped a little, gaping at her at the unusual use of word, but the Ravenclaw brushed it off by offering small smile. "Totally." Just because. He also wasn't about to bother her to tell him about things if she didn't want to.

"I...uh...yeah, I was," the Ravenclaw replied, nodding and ruffling his hair. That was when Drewett finally pushed himself off the floor and stood up, dusting off whatever dirt there was on his backside as he did. He felt too awkward just sitting there. "I-I recognized some names so...." That was it. He didn't think telling Nina about how overwhelming it was out there, but he figured she already knew him well enough to deduce that. Drewett Gunter was not, and probably never will be, a fan of crowds.

He then looked back at her. "Did you want t-to be alone?" Drewett asked politely and nodded his head towards the doorknob that she had just successfully locked. It was strange, how the tables have turned. Nina was usually the one who caught Drewett in deer-in-the-headlights moments. Right now, it was the other way around.
