Gabe felt better? after breaking away from the crowd.....and walking had even gotten most of the wobbliness out of his legs. He was off to do his own thing....science surrounding him....and history, too. Even if it was just of the muggle sort.

......and...someone was calling his name. Loudly. Uh...

Halting his footsteps, Gabe turned, blinking owlishly at the source. It was the Hufflepuff prefect boy, who'd sat with him in muggle studies....along with a Gryffindor he'd seen in lessons and around school. Gabe remembered him as....Benny. Yes, that was it.

".............H-hello." His face colored accordingly. Were they...um, joining him.....now? Logically....that did sort out the buddy system drama...He wouldn't have to worry about some girl trying to walk with him...After further thought on the matter, Gabriel decided to go along with these two. Besides, the one boy was a badged person...and that was a good thing, apparently.

Fumbling in his bag....he retrieved his camera....and offered his companions a small....MINISCULE smile. Miniscule because Gabe didn't really smile....No, he himself didn't know why he didn't.

"........" There was also an urge to fill the silence with conversation...but Gabe didn't know what to offer.....QUICK! A SCIENCE FACT! "......Harrison Schmitt was the only scientist on the Apollo 17...when that...rock was collected." Just off the top of his head...

...because scientists were important in all aspects of life...and him simply being a geologist mattered not. Surely, he served a great purpose.
