No, Kyroh wasn't in trouble...but it wasn't smart to instigate with sarcastic comments, either. And Gabe thought Kyroh was very smart. So...
"If he continues, ignore him." Seriously, this would NOT end like last term's opening feast. With a physical altercation and spells being thrown haphazardly around......Also, as an aside, Gabriel didn't know this new kid. So, it was being treated accordingly. Unfamiliar personality and kid gloves. Sorta.
SPOILER!!: Speech!

She had certainly not been one for making small talk since she had occupied this throne chair here in the middle of the table. Alas, she was getting hungry, and now was as good a time as any for a speech. The redhead stood and walked to the center of the dais, casting sonorous on herself to make certain she was heard.
"Good evening." She'd give those few kids standing and chatting a moment to take a seat.... "I am glad we have all returned to Hogwarts this year. For those of you who are new: WELCOME! You'll find you are not alone in your novelty, as we have a few new faces on staff now. Some of you may recognize our new Groundskeeper, Mr. Maclaren, from the field trip this past summer. Additionally, I hope all of you will learn a great deal from Auror and new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Dakest." She took a moment to smile fondly at them behind her. "Other changes include Professor Tanner assisting Mr. Kitridge with Gobstones, Professor Quigley helping out Professor Flamsteed with Gryffindor House, and I, your Headmistress, will be teaching Herbology this term."
Any other news? She glanced around at them and nodded, as if to herself. "We will be continuing our mapping efforts from last term, and will also have a guest seminar at some point this year, so keep your eyes on your notice boards, as always. Enjoy your dinners, and please try to keep the noise to a dull roar this evening. Happy feasting!"
Why, that was an almost cheerful message for her! With a final firm smile, the Headmistress had a seat back in her throne chair and reached for one of the delicious, buttery rolls which had appeared.

Quite suddenly, the food had appeared and all thoughts of the drama vanished. Gabe
was rather hungry...as he hadn't thought to bring snacks on the train and breakfast had been skipped. To Kyroh, however...
"Enjoy your dinner."...which was said in a way that translated to...
'Eat because no one is worth going to bed hungry for.'
