Aha. So she was right. A small but confident smiled tickled the corners of her lips. "You will be just fine," she nodded, eyeing Rufus as the little monkey clung to Treyen's arm. Most likely afraid of Walnut, she reckoned. Nothing to be worried about. Walnut was only dangerous around shoes. "And....any problems and we all handle them together, right?" That sort of seemed to be the theme towards the end of the term last, at least...it had seemed that way to Kurumi with everything Professor Vindictus had been talking about with his lessons and activities.

She leaned in a bit and smiled a Rufus. "Hello again Rufus," she chirped, reaching her index finger out to scratch the top of his head. Merlin did she miss his former owner, but it was sort of nice remembering her.

Deciding to take a seat next to Walnut, Kurumi folded her legs under herself and sat Indian style on the seat, eyeing the one across from her. Unless, you know, Treyen wanted to stand for the entire trip. That was up to him. "Summer was good," she nodded. "I did a lot of traveling again, visiting Jonathan and then to Lexi and Salander's." But he knew that last bit. "Got some studying in for OWLs as well. Mother wasn't as overpowering this summer and sort of let me do more of what I wanted to." Which was odd, much appreciated, but odd.
