"Remember that conversation we had at the ice cream shop?" He leaned back against the window, the same coolness that had woken him up now soothing his head, "My father was home for a few days and talked to me about the four houses. From the sound of it, I think I'd like Gryffindor. Or maybe Ravenclaw. Slytherin sounds like it's for two-dimensional social climbers."

Oh gods, I've poked him right in his sensitive pride. A part of his brain wanted to touch on the irony of Chaucer's comment on 'sensitivity', but decided that it would have been a futile effort and went back to sleep. "Now I know you're upset, but it's no reason to get radical. Obviously you're feeling a little disoriented, what from that tremendous bump. And in any event, do you truly feel that your 'bravery' or 'tact' outweigh your other serpentine qualities?" Chaucer made a mock-scale with his hands. "Don't tell me Uncle Stern wants you to be in another house?"
If Kellen ever acted contrarily, one could be certain his father had a hand in it. If it was just that the boy was mad with Chaucer, then that was one thing. But if Kellen had some paternal recommendation to go somewhere else, then the affair was far more troubling.
Chaucer wasn't exactly sure how the sorting worked, but if the student had any choice in the matter Kellen might voluntarily choose a different house and this was something truly difficult for Chaucer fathom. He knew full well that he was not everyone's cup of tea and had always thrived on this fact - his eccentricities were like little trophies - but he also always had Kellen to return to should he receive spurn from everyone else. What if in Slytherin the others, consumed with jealousy and primitive concepts of masculinity decided to work against him? He couldn't very well run off...

All these considerations were making him feel very gloomy.
