"Nice to meet you too, Mr.--" He hadn't said HIS name yet, right? Or had the headmistress mentioned it at the feast...she couldn't remember right now. "Sorry. I don't know what you're called." But he'd tell her, yes? Sharing is caring after all.
"I'm sure you will, Sir. If you're worried you could always hire a body guard." PAUSE. "Or get a large dog." Big and scary and mean. A disgruntled kneazle could work too, actually. "I have a Zeus that you could have for a price. He's not a dog but he's mean." Did he feel more at ease NOW? She was being so helpful here.
Homework? He was trying to get rid of her, yes? Sadly she wasn't ready to go, not yet. "No, Sir. Not yet anyway. I do have to stop by the library later to read up on flesh-eating plants but I figured we could have a chat first." She paused, giving him big innocent eyes. "That is if you're not too busy for me." Mister..........
Archie raised his eyebrows and waited for her to remember but... nope. Well, nice to know people were listening to his introduction at the feast, huh?! "Millard. Mr Millard." He hated his surname. He wished he could just go by Archie to the kids, but that would be inappropriate or something. Whatevs.
"Weeell..." Archie began, in a bit of a squeaky voice, "I do have a dog, actually." Not so much a big one... or a tough one... but a dog, nonetheless. "Not sure he's a hero kind of pup, though, if you know what I mean." A bit of a pansy, just like Archie. He tilted his head to the side and squinted his eyes. Was he supposed to know what a Zeus was? Was this a pet of hers? "Uhhh, Zeus?" Whatever it was, he did not want it, thank you very much.
Was she still going to stick around? Was she trying to be nosy and get inside his hut, too? Archie was a bit more hesitant about letting this one in. He had a feeling she would ask him 20 questions about each and every possession of his. "Flesh-eating plants? Golly." He was amused by this, mostly because he had never really had any experiences with those plants. Only briefly when he was at school but that was a long time ago. They sounded absolutely ridiculous and terrifying. "Oh, no, no... not too busy... not really." He paused, thinking he had said the wrong thing. "I mean, not yet... I will be in a bit. Probably." There. Quote:

He’s got a huge ground to play on. Right, buddy?” Merlin, why can’t he bring Momo to school like the rest of the staff? Was it some sort of…special privilege?
Ethan waited for the man to sit down before he did. He’s polite like that. “Thank you, sir.” For the chair and the tea. What a lovely man he was. Yup! “Yes, Professor Botros. He’s the Ancient Runes professor. His designated chair is situated at the far left of the staff table, facing the dais.” Now, can Mr. Millard recall him now? The feast was just…two days ago. “He’s a charming man, and I’m the two of you will get along.” Ethan nodded as he reached out for his tea and took a sip.
Pets? He’s only got one. “I have a dog too at home. His name is Momo, a black French bulldog.” Is Archie familiar with dog breeds? Ethan would know depending on his answer. The blond boy however did not miss the amount of plants and vegetables surrounding Archie’s hut, just before he crashed on his door. “By any chance…are you into Herbology? Or…are you just fond of…planting, sir?” There must be a difference, yes? "Yeah." Archie agreed, unconvincingly. "Wouldn't want him running anywhere near that forest, though." Always back to the forest. Did he have the authority to call someone in to tear the forest from its roots? If it was forbidden, then what was the point in it?
This Professor Botros must be interesting if this kid could remember his exact seat during the feast. Archie raised an eyebrow and thought back to the night. The only man he didn't speak to properly was the old guy. He snapped his fingers. "Of course, the deputy headmaster." Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. "Well, I'll have to meet this Professor, then."
"Ahhhhhhh!" This got Archie all excited. A French bulldog, awww. "Lovely! Bet you miss him when you're at school, huh?" Still, the kid looked like he didn't have long left anyway. Into Herbology? Well, you could say that. "Yes, I guess so. I studied it for a bit at university." Before he dropped out, but he wouldn't mention THAT to a student, of course! "But very fond of planting. I..." Why was he telling this child his life story? "... just finished up as a private gardener, to come here." Archie nodded. Time to shut up before he revealed his secrets.
He sipped his cup of tea with his eyebrows raised. A little hot but that was no biggie. He was used to it.
