Giggling softly, Kurumi nodded and turned her attention back to Walnut who was still flopped on his side, stunned by the piece of ham on his face. "Your secret technique is safe with me, professor." Assuming it was his technique. It seemed the sort of thing that Professor Williamson would come up with at least. The man did seem to have rather unconventional ways of looking and dealing with creatures, and that wasn't a bad thing.

Last time she trusted her father with creature advice. The man know how to work with people, seeing as he worked in International Magical Cooperation, but creatures were clearly not his forte.

Professor Williamson's next words caused Kurumi's cheeks to flush, which also caused her to slightly miss that he was being kind and trying to calm her nervousness about the matter. "I always assumed it was because people see me as being rather timid and small." You know, the opposite of what one assumed a dragonologist was. Still, Kurumi was used to people trying to push her down, it had been everyone around her outside of her immediate family growing up, so his words resonated strongly with her.

"I was thinking...that university would be a better route for me," she nodded. Kurumi just wasn't the sort to just throw herself at the wild and see where things took her. Structure. Kurumi liked that. "I know an option is Romania, to further studies concerning dragons. But I have also read about options in Norway and Brazil..." she said, trailing off for a moment. Obviously, she had an inkling as to where he would recommend she focus on when it came to applications, but it was always good to check. "I guess, I'm just wondering where I should be focusing my energy on now, where I should aim to be when it comes time to apply to universities..." And WHERE she should be applying to.
