Anyway. Tea. Okaaaay, British much? She nodded, ignored his 'allowing' her one too and went to fetch them a cup of tea, a cup of coffee and a plate of doughnuts. Dash Scabior was dry enough, some fatty chocolate pastries gotta balance things out for her. It didn't take long, thankfully, and soon Louisa was back with the waiter, who looked sour-faced, touchy staff she didn't mean to 'badger' anyone geez. "Thank you." Now off you go.
"Ahem." She took a sip of her coffee, trying to find the appropriate way to start. "I think it's mandatory that you know I've studied Diplomacy and Wizarding Relations in the WU in Wellington." So she wasn't practically bragging... except her tone was awfully proud. "I graduated a few months ago, and my graduation thesis rose to the expectations of my professors there. I worked really hard for four years, and I'm happy to learn they think it's worth publishing." Her fingers were nervously tapping her coffee cup. "Then, uhh, I want to work on it a little more. Well, not a little, a lot. I am working on changing it from just a thesis to a book. For everyone to read."
...
... catching her drift? Dash drummed his hand against his thigh, more amused than annoyed by the smirk that Carter had plastered on her face. "That's nice." Althea? Encouraging? He would have laughed at the idea but he already knew how she was with certain children so, it wasn't far fetched at all. Plus, he had sat in a few of her classes, and alright...fine. It was true. "I would not let students I thought were worthless take my OWL and NEWT classes." And that was all he was going to say about that.
Annoying, yes. Worthless, no.
She got up and left it didn't take long for to her return with the necessary items to keep them both sane during this meeting. Nodding at the waiter, the ex-Professor took a sip of his tea an proceeded to listen. As she spoke about her education and schooling he didn't say a WORD. Lousia Carter. Diplomacy and Wizarding Relations. It made absolute sense. It was field that called for loud obnoxious people who could talk their way out of paper bags. Annnd then she was trailing off. Dash took a few more sips of his tea before placing it on the table and leaning forward. "Right off the bat, two things; if you think you still need to work on it and they believe it's already worth publishing their judgement can't be sound at all." That was the first thing he had to say. The second? "Show me it. Your thesis." If she was so very proud of it and all.
