Lex slinked into the seat, noting the texture of the fabric and how comfy it was. This was nice too. She could sit here all day--
EH??? "Restricted? Completely off limits?" By some great miracle she managed to keep a perfectly composed face but Merlin. Stay calm Lex, find out everything first. She sat a bit straighter in her seat, locking her gaze on him. "I'm sure there's brilliant reasoning behind that," Really, idiots got eaten more often than one could imagine, "but I'm curious about what that would mean for me." She let that sink in for a moment. Let him have all the thoughts he wanted. Did she think she was an exception. Obviously. Would she see the flesh eaters? Yes, with or without permission. "See, Professor Benttley had a similar policy but after she named me Herbology Champion during the fancy quiz bowl we had a few years back against Beauxbaton and Durmstrang, I've been allowed full access. She's had nothing but confidence in my capabilities and in fact she offered me something from Greenhouse 8 before she left, which I now care." So she needed to be in that Greenhouse, see? She was SPECIAL. And there he thought she was going to decline the offer. How wrong he was. He paused with the books in both hands and watched as she got comfortable and looked like she could use a pillow snuggle up with. He didn't have pillows, in case she was going to ask. Apparently he should be expecting anything now.
His answer clearly was not to her delight this time. He didn't need to keep a mental note or anything, this one's name and face and everything took up a place in his mind to keep an eye out. Who comes asking for flesh eaters and sounds so disappointed when being told they were off limits. And another question, who would give a badge to this one. Things have really changed since he'd left. Did she just say 'for me'. He set down the two books and turned around facing her. "Excuse me," He raised an eyebrow.
Oh, but the explanation came right away. Good. He listened to her story while staring at one book on one of the shelves that had fallen due to the fact that there were no books to the left to support it. Because he was not finished yet and wasn't going to be anytime soon. "That is quite impressive I have to say," And he meant the words but that barely appeared on his face. "However, I am not your former Professor. And I do not know you nor your skill and credibility." Though she did win but he still would feel better when he saw for himself. "Prove that to me and you'll be allowed access," He shrugged. Simple, was it not?!!
