Benjy shook his head lightly. "'fraid not, Sir," he responded about the knight, still lent forward in his armchair when his elbows resting on his knees. He should practice at Wizard's chess some more. It had been ages since he'd played, and he had rather a nice chess set at home. And at Mo's explanation, Benjy wrinkled his nose some. "Seriously, a peppermint toad? That's a travesty!" They were Ravenclaws, surely they could transfigure something a little more permanent than just using a sticky old peppermint toad? "Do you play?" he asked Mo. It was quite likely he did, given he knew about the missing piece, though he didn't like to assume. Maybe the guy just liked peppermint toads.

...and look at Garrick sucking up to the Professor over there. Benjy rolled his eyes.

And then the conversation moved to dates. Benjy had no attention of worrying about one soon. Seemed like too much hassle. There were girls he liked the company of, but just meeting up for ice cream and skateboarding was fine with him. He especially didn't see the appeal of ballet. And so he sat back in his chair quietly, contemplating another ice cream sundae. Maybe he'd even bump into Lex in the kitchens. He was sure the girl would live down there given half a chance.

"Oh, I'm normal now?" he said, being drawn back into the real world by Garrick's glares. Well that was different. His face softened a little. "I'm sorry you were stuck in an argument though. What were the requisites of you coming back?" With all the fuss caused, he was sure his uncle would have put measures in place. Especially since Benjy had already gone back.
