"Mysteriousssss Lachlannnnn." Scottish descent? "Could be! He does look like he's dressed for harsh weather." Okay, Matt was making things up. But welp, if you weren't going to read it off books, your hope was to make things up and hope for the best. That was his motto for exams as well. "He was probably a dark wizard... no! He wouldn't be here at Hogwarts if he were. So he was probably a nice guy. Who... defeated dark wizards. Or maybe he was just a person working for the Ministry." Boring like that. "OR he did something cool for the school, like..." He had to pause to think a bit. "Like, if he was the person who brought radios to school." If they were going for random, it had to be full on, alright. "Y'know, we have a radio in the Gryffindor Common Room. Do you have one in your Common Room too?" Or was it just a Gryffindor thing? Matt didn't know. "Maybe he was a Gryffindor." If there were only radios in the Gryffindor Common Room. "But his face looks like a Slytherin face to me." Whatever that meant. "Probably the hat." Matt explained his illogic with a shrug. Matt grinned. "Yeah, those people who say 'curiosity killed the cat' were probably very boring people who didn't want to know anything!"

'Well it isn't for one's comfort to begin with. You're doing it for the person you're with to show respect…and it's for self discipline too.' Jace was speaking English, Matt could tell, but the words made no sense to the Gryffindor, even though he could understand them. ".................What?" Matt gave his friend an uttely confused look.

"That was fast." The third year laughed when Jace said he was already stuck on something. "No cheating!" Matt would know if you were lying, Jace! Because... well, he didn't know what he'd do to find out, but he WOULD know, mmmmhm!

The Ravenclaw's next words made Matt laaaaaugh out loud again. He was calling Matt a padawan! Okay, Matt would let that go just because it was Jace, alright, and because that sounded really funny - again, probably because it was Jace, haaa! The Gryffindor frowned as he listened and tried to make sense of the type martial arts Jace was trying to explain. Reading the opponent before they can make an attack?? "THAT'S IT! That's what Jedi Knights DO!" And that just didn't seem possible to Matt. How, how, HOW would ANYONE know that? "Are you sure that's possible in the real world? It sounds like... fiction." UGH, OKAY, he admited, Star Wars was... fiction... ugh, it HURT in his HEART to admit it, but he had to. Especially if he was looking to develop those types of crazy and seemingly impossible skills.

And about professor Newt's problem, Matt had a better solution than some Potion! "PROFESSOR! That's it!" He started as soon as the idea popped into his mind after what Jace said, his hands shooting straight UP for emphasis. "Why don't you transfer your office AND classroom up to the TOWERS??? That'd be AWESOME and you wouldn't have to go up and down alllll the time." Matt explained enthusiastically, lots of hand gestures going on. "I can help you move your stuff!" HE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE IDEA ALREADY!! LET THEM GET MOVING, COME ON!
Jace stuffed his hands inside his pockets, nodding along as Matt went on and on and on with his theories. The Ravenclaw figured that Matt can be really great in theories IF he’s pushed to the right direction. Matt may never believe him, but he does make sense. And...they’ve got a radio in their dorm? Now...that’s something really cool to have. Jace was about to respond, but Matt was on a roll. As his usual. The Ravenclaw chuckled, shaking his head. “No, we don’t. We have a lot of rare books though.” Which was by the way...the MOST awesome thing to have. Too bad, it doesn’t cover his concern. “And I agree. If you don’t use your brain, it will rot.” Well, it will over time and Jace wouldn’t want that for him or any of his friends.

Jace couldn’t help but laugh at Matt’s expression. He expected the baffled look, but really, Matt should see his face! “I know it’s a hard concept to grasp especially to Westerners...” Jace continued, wiping his eyes with his hand. “Well you see, it’s to show the highest respect to our elders. It is an act of selflessness.” Okay, maybe he should stop at this point because Matt’s head might roll over if he continued. Not everyone can perfectly understand the point of the seiza, but as long as Jace can do it, he will do it out of respect for his peers and for his ancestry.

“You know,” Jace started with a chuckle, “I wish I could cheat my way out of it. I’ve read books about the topic...but I get the feeling that the information is inconsistent.” See, he’s really stuck Matt! He even might spend years trying to figure that one out.

The laughter was much appreciated, because it made the quiet boy laugh too. “It is possible, Matt. I’ve done it before...but not always. It takes a lot of practise to read someone’s next move.” He said nodding his head, trying his best not to dwell on the missed opportunities he had during his last spar with a higher ranked kendoka. “So...does that make me a Jedi Master? Or...a padawan at least?” Because really Jace wouldn’t mind being called a learner since he is one.

The Ravenclaw had to suppress his smile as he moved a bit to the side to give Matt all the room he needs to express himself. Jace had to admit that his suggestion is way better than his, although...is it entirely possible to move the laboratory way up in the castle? “I wonder if the potion ingredients will react to the high altitude.” Genuine curiosity right there. “I can help too sensei! Only up until the Fat Lady’s portrait of course.”
