"Well, we probably know some people in common," he offered. He wondered if they'd play the 'do you know...' game. It wasn't like he'd kept in touch with nearly any of them - which was entirely his fault.
Watching the goings-on, he nodded at her observation. "He looks exceptionally uncomfortable... and I don't think she realizes at all." Tiberius tilted his head as he considered them. Was it the kind of thing where the man needed an excuse to get up? Tiberius tossed a pebble in the man's direction to see if he could get the guy's attention. If the man waved him off, fine, but Merlin, did he look uncomfortable.
While he waited to see if the man made eye contact, he started thinking about the move again. Maybe she'd have a thought... "Sorry if this seems really personal, but I was thinking about this before we started talking and I want to see what you think.." he hesitated. "But, like.. can you picture what you want your life to look like? With detail?" Because Tiberius really couldn't. What his job would be? Where he would live? None of it. But he did know who he wanted there.
He supposed that's what really mattered.
"We probably did," she nodded. Most of her friends back then were either Slytherins or Ravenclaws. She only kept in touch with only a few, though. And only a couple were strong friendships. "We definitely had common Professors," And Headmaster Tate, obviously. Other than that she could only remember her head of house's name. Which was a shame.
He picked up on that, too, yeah? Means it's obvious. "Yes, which is weird because he couldn't be more obvious," she actually felt a little bad for both of them for different reasons. Her because she probably thought she was helping or that the man was enjoying whatever it was she was doing. And the man because he looked like he'd rather be anywhere but here. She wondered if the pebble will grab his attention.
Her attention shifted from the couple and was now on Tiberius. She listened carefully considering the question, which she didn't find too personal. "Not in precise details. But generally yes I suppose," she wondered if that made sense. "Like I know I want to have a job I enjoy and wake up excited about. I know I don't want to live somewhere with humidity ," Hair reasons. "I think that was the reason behind me quitting. Like I realized this isn't the life I wanted. Having to force myself to go through the day," She wondered if that answered his question. "Do you like to have detailed plans of the future?" Some did, she never seemed to be able to work one out.
