Nick hadn't really expected to have his greeting returned at all, let alone so heartily. He'd already begun shuffling his way towards a table when he was asked a question. Am I good at Divination? he thought it over in his head for a short moment before turning to face the older student once more.
"I'm afraid, If I'm honest, that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing." he admitted frankly. As embarrassing as he found failure, it would be easier to swallow if he made no pretense of competence beforehand.

It seemed, however, that he and Adi were in the same boat. Nicholas didn't have the faintest idea how to 'open his mind' or 'look PAST the crystal', and it seemed that the older student wasn't very good with the practical aspect of Divination either. Why would he have asked if he knew what he was doing? This presented Nick with an opportunity to make a friend, something he rarely did these days.
Stepping over to Adi's table and sitting down, he extended an arm in a polite greeting, as he'd always been taught. A bad first impression could mean the difference between a life-long friend and a bitter enemy.
