Vickers was watching the sorting between discussions, clapping politely at every other student that was sorted in other houses unfortunately then cheering more enthusiastically at those whose robes have turned to the familiar shade of navy. He watched Vivi rise from the stool and head towards their table, being quite pleased that she was sorted into their house. Why he was pleased he didnt know, he should be worried or annoyed, but he wasnt.

"Welcome to Ravenclaw Vivi!" he greeted the newly sorted blonde, the excitement having him forget for a moment that she has branded him as something that got him all sorts of annoyed. His gaze shifted when Alexa joined them "Hey Alexa-- you're a Gryffindor!" he uttered as he looked at the crimson on her robes. He wasnt far off when he felt she might be sorted with the Lions after all what with her violent tendencies being a clue. But now Alexa looked like she needed Healer attention.... and she sought it from Vivi? He eyed the blonde curiously. He didnt know she had this valuable skill set...





He gave another small shrug. He too lived in a manor (they are Vanderbilts after all) and had elves at their beck and call. But indeed they arent quite the kind of narrow-minded traditionalists many Purebloods were "Very traditional... I understand." he replied politely. "Our family have learned to take what works well and adapt it into how we do things, I dont recall blood purity to be a driving factor--" at least thats not what was impressed upon him "-- but moreso our family just had the luck of being Pureblood out of circumstances..... business opportunities, common backgrounds and values.....that sort of thing." Birds of the same feather and all that....

Oh look Lottie was here! But.... her robes have turned yellow. "Hello Lottie" he greeted the young girl. She looked particularly miserable, so he decided to save the congratulating for never. He listened to the girls talk... so Lottie wanted to be sorted in Slytherin? Vickers' lips twitched a bit. In his silent opinion Lottie was rather fortunate to have been sorted with the Hufflepuffs. He eyed the Slytherin table. Seem to be an unsavory lot as a whole, even if he had acquaintances there.
