Toilet? Potions Lab? At the end of the day, how different were they, really? If either of them when BOOM, then the result would still be the same. BOOM, followed by displeasure in the BOOMing. Emily found herself chuckling at the thought though, and while she didn't want Zeke to be the trouble making type, she wanted him to have at least a small affinity with destruction. Like mother, like son? "Oh that's wonderful, glad he's settling in." She didn't even attempt to understand the lion in the dorm room thing, last she checked that was against school policy - student safety and all, but the schools standards were slipping ... which still left her wondering if Durmstrang might be a better fit for Zeke.
Emily nod her head to communicate she was listening, even if she wasn't really much for talking right now. She was a woman of few words regardless, so she knew Vic would understand and not take her silence to heart. But, if Vic didn't consider herself an expert, than what hope did she have? At any rate, seeing a Healer didn't sound like the kind of thing Zeke was really in need of. He had his issues... but they weren't that dire. It was likely just a matter of setting boundaries and identifying explicitly her expectations of him where sharing her time was concerned. "I'll keep that in mind," was her final thought on the matter, her eyes on Zeke as she said it.
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh, yes, that was a point he could agree with. "Self improvement," he nodded, "but that's different to losing." So his earlier point was still valid. At least she was an easy and willing adult to teach. Some of the others, like Gavin, simply didn't understand that his logic won out in the end. "Sooooo......... best two out of three?" he asked hopefully, because he really didn't want to go back to daycare, and so long as Victoria was with him, Emily couldn't tell him off for wasting time. Cue grin. She should say yes.
Zeke busied himself with unpacking his gobstones set again, handing her half of them before going to place the jack stone. He found it curious that she didn't work for Emily, but he supposed that was why they were friends. Emily didn't hang out with those other people much, like Bennett, and he really wanted to talk to Bennett. It'd be cooool. What she said next though, now that was even cooooooler!!!! QUIDDITCH! "Ooooohhh ooohhh! Emily said she'd take me to a League match one day, to see the Montrose Magpies or something, do you get free stuff? Like free cards?" Could he have some? He'd never collected anything before, and he was doing alright with chocolate frog cards at the moment, it was a modest collection that was slowly but surely, growing. Quidditch cards sounded more interesting though, especially because while history and stuff was cool, Quidditch was just better. The Gobstones bit, that was cool too... but his attention was on the Quidditch side of her job.
"Ladies first," he prompted, smiling, allowing himself a single bounce on the balls of his feet.
While she was waiting, Emily took the opportunity to check in with the Security mob, using their communications notebook to see what progress had been made, or if there was an excuse for her to drag Zeke back to the daycare by his collar so that she could go back to work. No such luck.
