With a lopsided grin, Ivory tilted her head back eyes tracing the pattern on the domed ceiling painted with stars as she thought of the answer to his question. Why had she stayed?

Unconsciously, she sucked on her lower lip for a second biting it in thought before she realized that she was thinking on the fundamental, philosophical reasons when she could easily answer with the basics.

"My best friend's here, of course." she replied with a bright smile. Not here, here. But over on in the Hufflepuff common room. "And I love the grounds, and the library, and the way rather than being intimidating most of the time it just feels like a huge house...one you just happen to share with hundreds of other people." Hugging the pillow tighter to herself, she sighed. "And yes, the food. If you ever find yourself in the kitchen you've just got talk them into letting you try the baked potato soup. It's heavenly, really." Mmmm, soup.

"Oh, and the Professors." She added nodding matteroffactly. "A few of them have their quirks, but I must say they all try to teach their subject in the most unique of ways rather than straight from the book."

"With your trunk..." Well, that she could help with on the spot. Feeling a bit useful, she piped up. "Well, that you'll find right through those doors and up the steep stairs. All our belonging get automatically delivered to our dormitories." With a small nod, she continued as helpfully as she could. "She might be waiting for you there," Cats were intelligent like that. "Why don't you give the male dormitory a look around, and if she's not there then well then we'll get to looking."

"Of course you're included with the cool people," Dallin said with a laugh as Ivory pointed to herself. Of course he had just met her today, but from what he could tell she was a pretty awesome person.

He nodded in agreement to her reasons for staying. Although he couldn't agree with the best friend part, because he didn't really know if he had a best friend here. Good friends, yes. But best? He wasn't sure. "I love the grounds, too. There's a lot of different things to do, ya know?" Plus there was the lake, which although wasn't near as good as the ocean, it was better than nothing and Dal was glad it was there.

"Baked potato soup," he repeated with a nod. He'd have to remember that.

Finally he decided to pipe into the conversation with the younger boy. "I'm sure the cat's waiting for you on your bed," he said brightly. "Pets have an odd sense of... I dunno the word." He paused before adding, "And if she's not on the bed she's probably somewhere in the dormitory, like Ivory said." Yep. Wasn't Dallin such a great help?
