</div>"De juro, rather than de facto." Almeda responded, not meeting Blesk's eyes at first. "There are no rules separating and defining who you may sit with, but social norms tend to be unspoken rules. I don't mind, but you may find your own housemates to be far more amiable." In a little more than a minute, Almeda had solved the cube again. She allowed herself a small smirk, before scrambling it again. There definitely was a routine or sequence for a solution. And since it was a restricted problem space, the initial state couldn't be that complicated or intricate. Blesk's next question had Almeda finally look up at her. She was holding one of those new pieces of muggle tech. Displayed two screens, from which you could play games or something of the sort, driven by buttons. Almeda always had a curiosity about it - it wasn't magic, but seemed close enough that anyone who didn't know better might just call it so. Seemed most muggle ideas were heading that way. Fascinating.<br/><br/>"Hogwarts? It's a large castle with some surrounding grounds. It's mostly closed in with a forest full of various creatures, many of whom are dangerous. Muggles can't see it, and any that get close are usually repelled by a befuddlement charm." Almeda did like Hogwarts, if only so it gave her an escape from her family. But the staff there was interested in teaching and spreading knowledge first and foremost, despite their quirks. "Unless you mean the school itself? The staff can be strange, but they are competent. The Ravenclaw head teaches flying, so if you enjoy that, you'll likely enjoy your house too. It's no surprise they have the best Quidditch team at the moment. I'm part of the Dueling Club, and there are other activities as well."<br/><br/>Sean was brooding, mostly in silence. Almeda looked at him and took pity. She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek, finally returning some affection and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Would you mind getting a few snacks for me? And perhaps for<i>our</i>guest as well?" Not too affectionate, frankly. Almeda was known to be frigid at best, and she knew Sean no doubt was considering if he was going to be the next entry on the long list of exes. But this much was, at least, something. He managed to force out a smile.<br/><br/>"Of course." He got up - throwing a rather icy look at Blesk - and walked out to find the food cart. Almeda turned her eyes to take in the outside landscape. She wasn't exactly sure how to engage this Blesk, but so be it. If they wanted to talk, they could. Almeda was more than content to sit in silence until Hogwarts came into view.
