She had not asked for such and in-depth reasoning behind why he was not here, though she smiles softly knowing the first years were not the only ones keeping on the edge of their seats per say. “Good I’m happy to see you are so enthused with school work already. Should I be expecting some extra credit reports from you this year?” She crossed her arms under her breast, glanced to Sam giving him a small grin and wink.  Then looks back to Xavier as he juts out his hand to shake Sam’s.<br/><br/>Again, that grin formed over her lips. “Volunteering? I could use all the extra muscle possible. “ She nods her head softly. “Moving tables and soil sacs in the greenhouse, if Your up for it.”  She knew Sam was more then capable to move the tables and  soil around for her, though she would not want to work the poor boy so terribly hard first thing in the morning.
