It seemed he wasn't the only one deliberating over location, given he nearly well ran over the kid halted in the middle of the hall. That, or the kid was trying to figure out which table had the most food, or the least, judging by the widened size of his eyes.
Clapping the kid on the shoulder, Sabel cast his gaze around the hall. "Gryffindor's got good views. Slytherin's got a bit of a breeze. Ravenclaw usually has the better juice. And the Badgers, are a friendly, chatty lot...if you like that sort of thing early in the morning."
And the staff table, had the coffee. Did he want to go up there? It was tempting, oh so tempting.
"Best hurry though. May look like a lot of food, but almost everyone here has two hollow legs." Proven fact.
Tom startled at the unexpected contact and spun around to come face-to-chest with someone much taller than himself. Oh. A professor, then.

Something collided hard with his side and then Tom landed even harder on the unforgiving stone floor of the Great Hall. His elbow hit first and then crumpled under the rest of his body.
"Oooow..." he groaned.
He heard the person who had run into them--a girl around his age, it seemed--apologize repeatedly and then felt when she was removed from their tangle of limbs.
Tom sat up slowly, bringing his uninjured arm up to cradle the other against his chest. He blinked back tears, but his voice was still shaky when he spoke.
"I--I--I think it's broken."
