But being here? At Hogwarts? All that climbing up and down to and from Ravenclaw Tower had made the boy HUNGRY. He'd heard that you could get snacks here in the kitchen, but he hadn't heard specifically how.
Looking around the space, Thornton spied an older girl rummaging around. Approaching cautiously, Thornton cleared his throat. "Um. Excuse me, miss? I'm wondering if you could help me find a cookie or something?"
Lex must had hit her fifth cupboard when she heard a noise just behind her. Strange how she hadn't heard anyone come in. Must have been too wrapped up in her search for things that wouldn't require a whole lot out of her. Turning she spotted one of those little people she was always looking for...and he decided 'Miss' would be the right approach. Yeah.......no.
"You can just call me Lex, it's a whole letter shorter too." She corrected with a solemn nod. 'Miss', 'Lady', 'Ma'am', she would pass on them all thanks.
"As for the cookies....I..." She spun a few times, trying to remember where she'd seen the jar of them.
"Oh! Right, there." She indicated to the high cupboard across the room with a nod of her head.
"They were sugar cookies last I checked."
Alexa paused, giving this one a once over.
"How good would you say you are at sandwich making?"
