Without really thinking about it, Lex made a face at Vinteren's delayed offer. "Doubt it. S'not very good to begin with." She informed him, casually fiddling with the now empty cup. "This stuff doesn't usually taste good but even then, I've had better." So in the end she'd helped him dodge a bullet and he was totally welcome and should make an official apprentice of her. No pressure though.

That. That right there reminded her of the fact the man had never been too taken with the Headmistress. In some ways she could understand why but you had to admit...never a dull moment with her leading and how would half her house learn if school was entirely boring? "I think I'm already learning that." She mused, finally putting the cup to a rest. "Explosions are messy...and loud, making them incriminating. Only to be used when you're afforded a reprieve from needing to be inconspicuous."

The other means was what needed working on. Lex eyed him curiously for a moment, not having disregarded the slight shift in his tone at the mention of other means. "Don't suppose you've got anything else to teach me." As 'chill' as she managed to make that sound, internally she was now bouncing at the idea of learning something else considering how epic the last thing turned out...and you know...she was totally responsible now...maybe.

"I can see the world twice, I'm still going to be an Auror." Just had to make that clear while they were on this. "But I could. No real reason to stay in one place. All my friends travelled while I suffered through my last and have decided to settle into studies now that I've graduated. I'd probably have to go it alone."

Oh! And "Did I tell you I got to be 'Mistress of All Evil' for a week or two at Hogwarts?" Nothing she was tremendously proud of but in hind sight...some of the stuff they said she did was hilarious.
