It made Renée relax a bit more as Gemma finally decided to take her up on the offer of tea. Even as the way the other professor retrieved it made her grin a little behind her own teacup. It seemed Gemma was more focused on the conversation than anything else, and didn't want to move to get her tea the Muggle way. She didn't really have a problem with that, as at least it kept her from going back to her internal thoughts.

"I'd imagine everyone gets by putting one foot in front of the other. Not the most exciting way of going about things, but here at Hogwarts, excitement isn't exactly hard to get by," she replied, nodding at the mention of piracy. Something told her the History of Magic lesson definitely didn't have anything to do with the activity going on around them. "The ship, I agree with. I think your lesson probably is just a coincidence. Timing, that sort of thing. To be honest, I'd been trying almost all term to investigate my own way, and I'm pretty sure your lesson plans wouldn't have much effect on Tarot cards," she added, sending her another smile. But then her expression changed subtly as Gemma clung to the discussion of her hair accessory, as she raised an eyebrow at the barely veiled excitement. "Perhaps," she said vaguely, leaning back in her chair again. It wasn't much of a secret, to her, but she was fine with everyone else around thinking that.

She had only been in there on a couple of occasions, and as a professor, she figured she ought to be there more often.

Upon entering she couldn't help but feel relieved. It was generally empty, but this time there were people! "Hello Renee, Gemma," she said greeting both of her colleagues with a cheerful nod.
"How have we been recently?" she asked as she joined them at the table.

Renée's evasion of the attempts at gossip seemed to be destined to be made easier as she heard the door to the staff room open yet again and looked over to see Seren walking in. At least, she hoped that would make things easier on her, or at least distract Gemma from things. Either way, she returned Seren's cheerful nod with a smile as she took another sip of tea. "Hello Seren. Tea?," she replied once the teacup was lowered again. She may as well offer.

As the question reappeared as to their well-being, upon the Herbology professor's arrival at the table, she grinned. "We'd just been discussing that. How things here have been so chaotic, although I have to admit I've managed to stay away from a lot of the pirate madness." Going back to the rumors that had filtered up to her in the tower, though, it seemed Seren herself hadn't been as lucky. "Have you been managing to do alright?"
