There had been some sarcastic remark from Kyroh...which, to be fair, hadn't been unwarranted as the person was shouting...but the response felt like bullying. Gabe did NOT appreciate bullies.
Also, he was NOT a fan of having to be authoritative...or having to speak, in general. So, mild annoyance was present.
"Keep it down and be respectful of others." Yes, he was standing and staring this new person down. Actually, that went for everyone. Gabe refused to have a repeat of last term's opening feast.
...
Um. Who's this guy? Benz did not get a funny tickling feeling at the back of his head, so he assumed it was someone that had joined Hogwarts after him. But he seemed older. And- oh. Things made a tad more sense when he noticed the little prefect pin catching the candlelight on the guy's robes.
But Benzi was in a good mood, and he didn't particularly care about this odd Prefect fellow who had felt the need to actually stand up and, um, attempt a death stare? All because of a little loud talking. He sincerely hoped not all Hogwartians were like this. He had done, and probably would do, so much worse than just loud talking.
"Wasn't disrespecting, but aye aye cap'n!" he grinned, and saluted the Standing Prefect for good measure.

"I wasn't..... giving my opinion........" His voice wondered off as he responded. He was saying the TRUTH. And the guy sort of offended him and then, invited him over? "I sort of don't need to be invited over to hang out with my friends." I.E TOBY and SOPHIE and Evie sorta? Well she seemed nice enough she could be considered a friend. The point WAS he wasn't really sure how to take this guy but-
His thoughts were cut off as prefect GABE spoke. Was he in trouble? Or the other guy? Both of them? Not Toby though right? "Yes sir?"
"Sure you were," he said, rather pleasantly because no stuck up Prefect would bring him down. "These guys are your friends?" he asked with a raise of his eyebrows, a little bit surprised. Sixth and seventh years hung out with the little kids? To be fair he wasn't really sure how old this kid was but it was pretty clear he was younger.
Turning to Evie with a half smile, he wondered how come she hadn't heard what he'd said to Toby but regardless tried to think up a non morbid answer. "Relatives died," is what he decided on - morbid really couldn't be avoided in this situation - and shrugged.
"So what's that guy's de-" he began asking Evie in a quiet voice, but then the headmistress spoke and he was rather distracted by that red hair until she sat back down again. ... What had she said? Ah well. FOOD TIME. LOOK AT ALL THIS GOOD. YES. FOOOOOOOOD. He attempted to ignore everyone as he began piling up literally everything in sight, but very quickly realised that the conversation was centered around Standing Prefect's comment to him. Might be worth listening in.
Hey, was that Evie standing up for him? GRIN. Even though he really didn't need it, but he nodded to her in gratitude anyways. Silently observing - aka mouth too full to form words - Benzi watched with an avid fascination as Standing Prefect tried to wriggle out of the situation.
Finally swallowing, he smirked and took a sip of his pumpkin juice when Crazy Eyes spoke up, and it took him a second to realise that she was D: CRYING. ACK. NO DON'T CRY. Girls crying was the WORST. ... Okay, in hindsight, his comment might have been a little insensitive, but he'd assumed from Cutty's words that SHE'D been the one who'd broken things off. Whatever the situation was, it was clearly still fresh. He got that.
"Right. Sorry," he mumbled, and he meant it. Please don't cry Crazy Eyes.
... Oh, good, no crying! She was joining the "make Standing Prefect squirm" talk. Or, Gabriel. As that is what she'd called him. Benzi eyed the prefect for a bit before nodding to himself. He looked like a Gabriel. And now he was also curious to know how long Gabriel's been prefect, and why no one seemed to like him. He put this thought away to ask Cutty later. He'd know.
People seem to like Sophie Brown though, so it obviously wasn't a Ravenclaw thing OR a Ravenclaw prefect thing. Speaking of Ravenclaw, here came their No. 1 Most Blonde Hater: Noel Wallace himself. And he brought the Digs with him, who was incidentally also a Ravenclaw. Poor guy, surrounded by the eagles. "Everything's fantastic actually," he grinned as he pointed his fork at Gabriel. "Is Hogwarts always this entertaining?"
... Hang on a minute.
"Mate, you thought I was bullying him?" he said, and side eyed Crazy Eyes as she really got into this debate. If they ignore the shouting for a second because honestly, it was the best form of communication in this loud hall anyways and not to be a Suri but that other kid had been the one to start it, he wasn't a bully. He'd grown out of that the summer after he left Hogwarts. He was very many, perhaps not so pleasant, things but not a bully.
Not okay, Gabriel Banner. Not okay. And Merlin, he was pretentious. Good on Sophie Brown for being the bigger man.
