BOTH of them! Ha! "Yeah! Maybe... maybe one could be the flower girl and the other can be the ring bearer!" That would be the BEST, wouldn't it? Hahahaha. Hiiiiilarious.
...Was she really talking about marrying Tobes with his DAD? Merlin. It didn't seem to bother him at all, but as soon as she took a moment to analyze the situation, it got weird really fast.
...He wasn't going to tell Tobes about this conversation, was he? DOUBLE MERLIN.
Glad to be on the topic of something else - even if the topic was something that made her upset - Sophie sunk down into the couch and got more comfortable as Thompson dished out his praise to her. Yeah, yeah, it was great and all, but didn't people just expect that of her? To have everything together? And at his question, she nodded a little. "Good," she told him, taking a small bite of the cookie and chewing, then grumping, "S'just Kitridge. He doesn't believe in me, that's why I didn't get a badge. Either that, or it's like the Harry Potter-Ron Weasley situation, where someone else got the badge because they needed it more or whatever and Harry already had 'nuff on his plate, but it feels better to be bitter right now than think he had a good reason behind it, y'know what I mean?" She shrugged. "I've worked my butt off 'n I'm a natural leader. I just wanna feel like people know that and like... feel appreciated 'n stuff. I don't wanna be a nobody." The title of Mrs. Hogwarts helped and all, but she'd wanted that badge since she was a first year.
She sunk lower on the couch, finally abandoning the coddling of Lala to cross her arms. If she could have dissolved into the couch cushions, she would have.
Javier eventually adjusted himself into a comfortable sitting position on the couch. Lala, decided to retreat to her beloved owner's arms for more pets and cuddles as the student wasn't giving her as much attention anymore. Professor Thompson listened of course, it was foolish not to with students when occasionally he was forced to blink from the glint of something.
The occasional glint became even brighter the lower Sophie sunk into the couch.. "
I do." Understand what she meant that is. A another flash from the glint finally forced his eyes to glance elsewhere to see.. a badge.
Well.. well. "
Though clearly you have managed to obtain a... different title." Head.. nerd. Somehow he doubted this came straight from her Head of House. "
May I ask how you earned this?" One of his eyebrows rose at this. The curious Creatures Professor was always curious.
