And the glance out of the corner of his eye told him exactly why it was unease that gripped his stomach and turned it in several knots.

The man from the feast. Lord Borr's honoured guest. The one that seemed somehow in connection with the threat to Tate and Hogwarts. It was impossible not to bristle, not to tense, though he tried to conceal his sudden alertness.

It was an effort to turn his eyes back to the statue, to force his voice out as calm and levelly as possible. "Does it seem strange to you, that they all seem captivated by the two humans? That because of their power, they stand in awe and attention at their feet, as if they are ready to serve without question or consequence?"
Rafa noticed the change. He didn't care, or at least wasn't initially concerned with the reason for the boy's alertness. Briefly ceasing the shifts through his memory, he glanced up at the statue in question. His fingers grazed the brim of his hat as he considered it for a moment. "House elves are like that. Eager to please. It's the centaur and goblin that would be cause for surprise." History had proven that neither thought highly of man-kind.

But the statue was of no concern to Rafa, the boy was. Turning his attention back to him, he offered a hand. "I don't believe we've had the pleasure." Not properly at least. "Rafael Belmonte. Environmental Head."
