"No, no, the pleasure is all mine."

"Oh, yeah? M'mom went to that and brought back a puffskein. But she wouldn't let me bring it to Hogwarts. Said something about me not being attentive enough." He shook his head as thought the statement were ludicrous, though he would've been able to remember his mother's words more clearly had he not been selectively tuning her out. "It'll work out, though, it will though. Rats are more portable and adaptable. Not to mention easier to feed." Cutty was only good with animals when he thought he had something to gain by it. "Did I hear you speaking French a moment ago, Adrienne?"

Adrienne gave Cutty a slight smile, although she had to admit being cheerful was already getting on her nerves and she'd hardly been on the train for a minute. It was hard work, too, and she was considering going back on her resolution for a better year and flopping into a lying-down position, ignoring the other inhabitants of the compartment. She managed to restrain herself, however, if only because she didn't want to make a scene.

She nodded disinterestedly at his next comment, trying (and failing) to look even slightly intrigued, but she was finding out more day by day that she really couldn't care less about the little ins and outs of other peoples' lives, or the little tidbits of information they always wanted to share. Adrienne simply let his words pass in one ear and out the other, not refocusing until Cutty mentioned French.

"Mais oui, monsieur," she replied. "Just got back from France, in fact, been there all summer. Why, do you speak it?" It would be great to find someone she could speak French with- she'd tried with some of the Beauxbatons people from last year, but nobody had seemed to want to talk to her at all.

ooc translation: Along the lines of "That's right!"
