It was her passion, but it had been hard ever since her husband died since he was the one she always traveled with and went on adventures with. Then she got a teaching job, which made traveling even more difficult. But being a department head was less restricting now. She had time to travel, which was good.

Ella adjusted her backpack and listened to the woman describe her interests. And... wow. "Impressive. What... do you research then?" The universe... in general? Because that seemed like a rather vast area of study. Ella took the woman's hand and shook it. So, she worked at the Ministry as well? That must have been why she looked familiar. And a Ravenclaw. Well, she definitely seemed like one. "Ella Wellington. Magical Creatures department head at the Ministry." She smiled kindly again. "And former professor, dragon trainer, Gryffindor. Class of 2061." Merlin, she was getting old...

With one last look around the small town, Ella glanced up the way at the trail where the yaks were pulling all the travelers things up to the base camp. "I'm assuming you're going up to the camp...?" Because Ella was eager to go up and see what the tents were like and see who else was brave enough to come on such an exciting adventure.
Oh. Well there went that idea that this woman worked on some magical creature reservation. "There's no better time to start something than the present," Alex nodded. It was a saying she got from her sisters, but one that she found rather true in everything she ever went toward.

What did she research? Hm. Good question. "Mostly theories, revolving around the solar system and modern-day evolution." Scientific, hard-to-prove theories. But wait; Ella Wellington? Department Head and former Gryffindor? Who was only two years older than her? Well the Gryffindor part made sense given that she worked with training dragons. "Maybe that's why you seem ... familiar to me." Except older. Both of them.

"The camp, first, yes, but I'm most eager for the actual climbing of the mountain and then to see if there is truth to the possible yeti sightings at the top of the mountain." Alex nodded, and gazed off in the direction Ella was looking. "You ready to head off there?"



ooc: base camp next?
