Moving an extra comfy chair into the little seating area he gestured for his two eagles to claim the two remaining comfy chairs. He had placed their cups of chocolate on the nearby table for them. Cupping his hands around his cup Leo let his eyes move from Reagan to Daxton. "Can you two explain to me why you didn't like the cooking event that me and Tiara had planned as a welcome back to school event for the eagles?"

...and because she'd gotten the sense that Daxton was uncomfortable with speaking, Rea didn't mind initiating the dialogue.

With a warm smile at their Head of House, she crossed her legs and leaned forward a bit. "Sir, I was personally uncomfortable with the presence of ground beef among the ingredients. So, I simply thought I might excuse myself from the activity...so not to make anyone else feel awkward."

Well, he'd asked...and she was certainly not a liar. Best to just get all the cards on the table, right?


As was the case whenever he entered a new place, Daxton was cautious on the way into the office, paying no mind to the door he left wide open behind him, not realising it was supposed to be shut. It was warm in here, a little too warm actually, and the first year tugged at his shirt collar automatically, to get the air circulating and hopefully prevent overheating on top of everything else. He was not entirely sure what he was supposed to do without a verbal instruction, and so waited until but Rea and Mr. Kitridge were seated before he followed suit and did the same.

The hot chocolate was largely ignored, but for a glance, more due to a lack of understanding that one of the mugs was for him than to intentionally be rude or anything of the sort... though he may well have turned it down in any case.

At his Head of House's question, Daxton at first just gave a simple not of his head. Because yes, he could explain why he did not like the event. It was not until Rea had launched into the specifics of her own reasoning that Daxton considered that that was the actual question they were being asked. So, after Rea had stopped and there came a long pause, he though that perhaps he was supposed to actually explain why. At that point, he retrieved his notebook and biro from his bag, and neatly wrote his answer out on a fresh page before holding it up so the man could read it.

'I hate people and I hate dealing with food and I hate noise.'

Practical and to the point and completely and utterly truthful, that was what that answer was. There were perhaps other factors to be considered, but those were Daxton's initial reasons for not wanting to be at the event. Perhaps now he would not be expected to be social in the future.
