Bria beamed at Gabby's enthusiasm, feeling warmth spread through her chest. She loved meeting people who got just as excited about things as she did - especially when it came to creatures and especially when it wasn't home on the reserve or out in the field with her parents because it was much less an expected result and more a sign from the universe that she was walking down the right path. "Right?! There's just so much to see and do here! I've been trying to explore as much as I can, but I feel like I've barely made a dent. Not to mention that Hogwarts just changes on a whim sometimes, like the castle itself refuses to become stagnant. Dad always raves about the grounds and mum liked the Astronomy Tower a fair bit...also their common rooms buuuuut... I'm in a different house then they were so, just a tad unfortunate."

At Gabby's attempt to mimic a duck, Bria let out a bright, bubbling laugh, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "You certainly encapsulated the spirit of a duck" she clapped. "I think they'd respect the effort." Bria sat up a little straighter, pleased but also a little bashful as she took a couple strands of hair and began twirling them around her fingers. "Oh, it's just something I picked up from my parents," she admitted, scratching at her cheek. "They run a sanctuary for magical creatures, focusing on rehabilitation and release, and I kinda grew up surrounded by birds of all sorts ... chickens, owls, a very opinionated augurey... You get the idea. I suppose I got really good at mimicking calls just from listening to them all day! Mum says I inherited the talent of mimicry from dad - he became fluent in bowtruckle just by listening to them while he was here at Hogwarts." Bria's smile brightened. "I find that the call of our feathered friends comes easiest to me...and since I love birds, I've read a lot about them," she admitted sheepishly. "Plus, we had some Pekins at home for a while! They're actually from China originally, so it's kinda funny to see them all the way here in Scotland. But I guess we're all a long way from home in some way, right? don't remember how we got them, I was too little, but mum told me I used to chase them all the time once I learned to walk," she chuckled, giving the duck in her lap an affectionate little boop on the beak.
