And her chosen seat was the one across and sliiiiightly diagonal to him. They were the first ones on the boat, so of course they would get the best view. And he returned the greeting, so Katherine mentally relaxed. She didn't want to spend the entire journey seething because of not being acknowledged. While he examined her face, she examined his. Normally, she would be highly uncomfortable when she got stares, but there was nothing malicious about him. He was just curious like she was, which gave her the freedom of noting the details about him - like the colour of his eyes (albeit it was dark, she made a guess) and the life in them and how gentle he looked. She turned to the castle when he did too, and didn't answer right away. She didn't want to rush only to give a wrong answer, after all. She was smart and she wanted to impress him, because that was how you made friends... or so she thought.

"Thestrals pull the carriages, and I guess they want to give the Hall a chance to settle down before we are introduced. But they also wouldn't want to keep us too long on the water in case someone tries to be funny," at that moment, she glanced at the other boats and the NOISY children disapprovingly, "so... half an hour? Or maybe even twenty minutes." Speed could be set by magic, so she thought it depended on those factors.

Normally, this was the moment she introduced herself, but she was curious about his guess, so she stayed silent to hear it.

Oh, a new face. He did not recognize her from Diagon Alley, nor from the train, nor from any of the other usual places he made his friends with Char - but she was pretty, her eyes were sincere and sparkly, and she was friendly, smiling away at him. He returned the smile and replied simply, "Hi." There was a pause in which he was looking at her carefully, taking in her aesthetically pleasing features with a gentle expression of his own, but in the next moment he was looking back at the castle, taking it all in once more. "How long do you think it will take us to get across?" Callum asked her curiously. He did not expect her to know, but he trusted her judgment from what he had already deduced about the girl's intelligence. With her one word and the way she carried herself, he had decided that she was bright, so he wanted to hear what she had to say. "Reckon it depends on how fast the boat goes, but hopefully they won't be prolonging us from joining everyone else again for too long." They had places to go and people to meet. He had no patience for this to be a leisurely float across the lake. And her chosen seat was the one across and sliiiiightly diagonal to him.
