In regards to most everyone really. Aaric rarely was flustered himself, and when he was, it was less often that anyone got to see it. He was very patient after all, and had a good memory. His disconnected disposition had a habit of rubbing the world around him wrong. If perhaps he was more open with his expressions or responded in a more<em>natural</em>manner he expected he might be more popular than he was. Still as Xual responded with another quick quip. To Xual's credit he wasn't often flustered, and had a very thick skin himself. Talking about his sister was in fact the most serious Aaric had seen him in quite some time.<br/><br/>"A couple o'lasses might make sittin' by the dock jus' a touch better." Aaric replied with a chuckle. Aaric did enjoy moments like that, any situations in which he had a setting he could observe from a far. Life was a grand play, and scenery and the settings in which they interacted with one another was a work of art for him to enjoy.<br/><br/>"If ya wanna start chargin' than I might just 'ave ta return the favor for transfig lessons." Aaric replied with a smirk. Xual was a much better duelist then he was, and had a knack for defense against the dark arts. Aaric however was very talented at transfiguration, and had a long family history with magical creatures. The two often acted as good foils to one another and it served them well.<br/><br/>"Bein' apart of a crop, and bein' the same aren' the same thing." He said responding to the idea that saying a crop of students was potentially less talented meant it was true of all of them. "Some grow ripe and perfect in spite of the rest bein' flawed. But you don' judge a crop a success from one ripe potato, and you don' judge a class o'students talented for one smart lass." He said. Of course Aaric's entire basement for the statement was the lack of slytherin students sorted that year, so it wasn't as if it was based in any grand standing logic in the first place.<br/><br/>His eyes turned to Xerxes and Moray talking a little further down the table, as Xual gazed off towards the Ravenclaw table and his sister. The new first year (xerxes) looked a little shy and unsure of himself, but he was right in Moray's web. It'd likely be memorable for the first year, and Aaric made note to see if the two started to gravitate towards one another now that they were making acquaintances. More than that, Aaric was curious how long it'd take until the new first year was less so. Slythern was all about connections, and in Aaric's opinion great at helping the younger students find some confidence.<br/><br/>His attention pulled back to Xual as he spoke of his sister. It was a large question to ask as Aaric had only gazed at her a short time and hadn't really begun any process to understand her. "Well, if she is always actin' like that, she probably needs someone with patience, a good sense of humor, and stubbornness ta not give her what she wants." He replied with a light shrug. Aaric did spend a lot of time analyizing individuals and their behaviors, it was a favorite pass time after all. "Mind that is a pretty broad assumption based on about twenty seconds and a glare." He added. "I won' really have an idea of what she might need, or how ta get closer to her til I talk with her, and judgin' from that glare she'll remember me bein' with you, and the process'll be harder." He mused. It must be hard to have a git for a father, no doubt it'd make everything harder for Xual.<br/><br/>"We really need to find a competition we 'ave a bit more equal ground." Aaric summarized on the topic of chess. They were each other's foil which typically met if one of them was great at something, the other was weaker at it. "I suspect I'll have m'hands full tryin' ta get on her good side m'self, but if I get anywhere I'll give throw in a good word for ya." He added with a light nod, while reaching to grab and steal one of Xual's rolls in retaliation for his lost fry.<br/><br/>"Tell me, do ya think Slytherin will take the quidditch cup this year?" He asked, shifting the conversation away towards another topic and making some small talk. Xual always expected they'd win, though it didn't always go that way.
