"Sorry about that." Except not really. The poking then him comfirming they were old was much needed information. In future, she'd stand while waiting.
"Cambridge Sir." Lex offered helpfully. "But Alexa works too." Even more helpful, no?
She followed him in but before she could actually respond to his question she was distracted by the inside. You could tell a lot about a Professor by the way they decorated their offices, she'd come to learn that and didn't know whether this was promising or grounds enough for her to turn around and leave. For now, she'd take her chances. "I did want to speak with you, yup." And she wasn't going to bother with that whole 'but if you're busy I'll come back' thing. No, just no. The Gryffindor looked to the seats offered, feeling the urge to poke them too. What if he was one of those people you just couldn't tell with? For now, she'd remain standing, unless he offered her the seat directly, 'cause then she'd be less sure it'll collapse. No, them looking perfectly fine wasn't assurance enough.
"I should welcome you while I'm here Professor. Don't think I got to when I visit the staff table." She had all the time in the world. Could he tell?
Cambridge, Alexa. Another name would try to commit to memory, though how many students were at this school? Braith wasn't sure he'd be able to remember them all any time soon. Perhaps this child would prove to be memorable enough.
"Good to meet you, Alexa Cambridge," he said offering her a small but welcoming smile as he walked further inside his office.
"I'm Professor McCormack." Maybe she had already figured that out, but he wasn't one for assumptions. At least not today.
He took the seat at his desk and sat facing Alexa, watching her carefully. In awe of his office, wasn't she? Well, who wouldn't admire a signed picture of legendary Wayne Gretzky? He certainly couldn't blame her for wanting a look around. Oh but she wasn't just here for that, she had legitimate business, it seemed.
"What can I do for you Alexa?" He was still rather curious about what it could be that she wanted before class even started. Maybe she was a Magical History enthusiast?
Ah, a welcome. He gave the teenage girl a slightly crooked smile.
"Thank you, I appreciate that." Even the students were welcoming, how pleasant.
"And welcome to my office, you get the privilege of being my first visitor." He meant it in an amusing way, but did it need to be said? Well, it had now since he sort of felt like he should offer something in return. Oh, she was one of the students who had visited the staff table during the feast. He knew there had been a handful but had been too busy enjoying the food to really notice faces. Was her welcome the nature of her visit or did she have another reason?
And she was just sort of standing near a chair. Maybe she was just waiting for an offer, she seemed the polite type. Unless she was going to wand-poke those too.
"D'ya wanna take a seat?" He extended his arm towards the comfortable arm chair directly across from him. Or standing was cool too.
