Zhank you for zhe warm welcome, m'enfin, I thought zhis waz Scotland. Not that it matters, hmm, I waz hoping you had a moment unless you are occupied, we could, huh, talk about something very important for Hogwarts," he began, looking serious as he spoke. "Your organizational skills could be very important, a massive hmm,<acronym title="asset">atout</acronym>, in fact."<br/><br/>Valentin was trying his best to speak loudly to cover the music. At that point, someone came by Dior and leaned to her ear, telling her something. Valentin looked at the newcomer with curious eyes. He turned his way after leaning back and introduced himself as Derek Darley, Dior's twin brother.<br/><br/><em>"I'm the brain, he's the brawn."</em><br/><br/>Valentin made a silent 'oh' with his mouth, not actually getting what Derek was supposed to be, the word brawn not being in his English vocabulary yet.<br/><br/><em>"Dior did a great job coming up with this party to really make you lot feel welcome. Make sure to tell her that."</em><br/><br/>Valentin nodded at Derek's intention.<br/><br/>"Naturally, Derek; enchanté, I'm Valentin," he said, about to offer his hand to shake, but he saw Derek looking down at his phone quickly, making Valentin hesitate.<br/><br/>A woman then came over and stole Derek's drink and started drinking it, after saying something Valentin hardly understood. He smiled awkwardly, not really knowing what was going on or if this was normal behavior. They quickly left after the woman said something to Dior.<br/><br/>"I also have a sibling," he confessed like it was something he didn't tell people often as he saw her empty her drink.<br/><br/><em>"It was lovely to meet you. Please make yourself at home and if there's anything you need, feel free to ask staff. Bonsoir."</em><br/><br/>On that note she left him there, to his confusion.<br/><br/>"M'enfin..." he let out, frowning his eyebrows.<em>Did I say something wrong?</em>he wondered, glancing around. He watched her walk over to the bar, where he saw his sister and immediately felt apprehension.<em>Oh no... What is she gonna do?</em>He looked more carefully, trying to see if her acolyte Babs was with her but he didn't see her yet.<br/><br/>He noticed Eliza dancing and smoking, an odd combination, and smiled and waved at her. He didn't really know what to do at this point since he wasn't a dancer or a smoker. While he enjoyed a good drink, the bar felt a bit crowded at the moment, and he wanted to avoid being the target of his sister's pranks or getting peer pressured into something humiliating.
