His agreement to join her almost surprised her more than the fact she'd offered to begin with. And Lee... blinked at him for a moment, before the introduction and his words got through to her. Chuckling slightly and breaking herself from whatever distraction she had in her own head space, she accepted the offered hand and gave it a firm shake, a small chuckle accompanying. "A wise thought. Pleasure to meet you, Septimus. I'm Leela Liu." Her full name was far too much of a mouthful, and in most social settings she preferred to accept only her Dad's lineage anyways.

Lee took a few steps towards the stall, finding a place in line as her stomach gave another - thankfully quieter - growl. "What brings you out to the alley today?"

Septimus could tell that his reaction to her offer and response to the positive had taken his companion by surprise. If he admitted it to himself, he was a touch surprised himself. But he kept reminding himself that it was just two people grabbing lunch from a street vender. He was being polite and joining her in a casual endeavor and as they exchanged names and a handshake, no longer random strangers. “Nice to meet you Leela, as well.” See…just a former Ravenclaw getting out of his close-knit shell.

The intern let her take the lead, following her down the alley for a little bit to find the vendor in question. “Mostly just taking a break in amongst things.” He was still getting settled into being back in England permanently and the new job. So some sort of structure was only just returning to his life. Though he supposed he could be handling errands at some point today. “How about you?”
