This was...weird. And she still hadn't noticed. Her blue eyes kept scanning his eyes as he talked. THIS is as much attention as you can get from her. Also, she took notice in the odd accent. He wasn't from England, was he?

Then Lottie nodded, "So I've heard," she said, with a smile. She wasn't the one who read the papers, but words tended to get to her ears, you know? Especially since most of the family worked in the Ministry. News were around 24/7. Annoying, but surely helpful in the future. Oh. Changes. "Some changes are wonderful," like this one. This was a very welcoming change, her going to Hogwarts. "Maybe I agree." She beamed next.

ARR YOU SERIOUS? "Of course!" the excitement was back, she didn't bother suppressing it at all this time, "I'll try to wave...," the poor Squid probably got too lonely down there. "...your accent's different." She randomly pointed out. Did you think she was going to keep on talking about the Giant Squid?

Lottie was an attentive, happy child from what Vickers could gather, and well informed to boot. He was starting to have a particular affinity to this little one, and her excitement was starting to infect him, pushing out that dull dread of his last train to Hogwarts.

Wait now she noticed his accent? His brows goes up as a slow smile tugs at his lips "That's right....I'm American-- from New York-- thats way across on the other side of the Atlantic." he explained to the precocious Firstie. Not many spoke to him about that, perhaps because he spoke rarely to others outside of classes, and almost always to those who knew his background already or those smart enough to figure out that he wasnt "home grown". To those who didnt know him, it was easy to assume that Vickers was just some regular British bloke, which likely happens more often than he would ever know. As for the little girl? "And you're a proper young English girl..... grew up in or around London perhaps?" she had that intonation that was bespoke of those from the capital.

Just as his words left his lips the train gave off the warning whistle that it was set to depart "Well, thats our cue to get on board." he said as he nudged his trolley forward then extended his arm, gesturing to Lottie to start wheeling her trolley towards the luggage cars.
