Slowing his blinking rate as she patted his shoulder, he was able to get his thoughts back in order and to some sort of logical sense. "He's...older than us, yes, but he's not incredibly old. And that's being honest. Not polite." Or maybe it was a combination.
Shaking his head he peered at Greer. "You do know that is Professor Vindictus' seat, right? As Deputy to the Headmaster that is his seat and his alone. Like Headmaster Tate's seat is in the center. Whoever that guy is, he doesn't belong in that seat." Unless of course, there had been a change in Deputies, but somehow he didn't think Vindictus would be putting up such a fight if it wasn't his place anymore. "It's not marking territory." Strange way to put things. "It's...politics. A way to display status and respect." His eyes lightened a little bit with a slight fraction of humor. "And females do it too. It's not an exclusive practice limited to one side or the other." Greer was completely unaware that perhaps she was being not only inappropriate, but downright disrespectful. She was also completely unaware that the reason Sabel so often appeared baffled was because of said potential and disrespectful remarks. At his words, McKensie shrugged in a manner that indicated she did not really agree with him, but was dropping the subject. "My mum always says that honesty and politeness should go hand in hand because otherwise people's feelings are fragile."
Training her eyes back to the staff table, she tapped her bottom lip with her index finger. "Status and politics?" Her pale eyebrows shot up, attempting to get lost under her curly fringe, "I'm too young to know of that!" Duh. She was only twelve, not even a teenager--and thank Merlin for that.
Pushing aside all thoughts of politics and status because quite frankly, it made her sleepy, Greer looked very seriously at Sabel. "No, we don't. My friends and I are not like that. Do you know of Lulu and Janie? We never fight for spots of anything! We even take turns to use the jungle gym!"
And the jungle gym was serious business. Everyone knew that.
