Having to share the same floor as Gaston's has its perks too. During his student days, there was no such thing as Bistros...or unusual places to hang out inside Hogwarts. Although most of the rooms and decorations are still the same, introduction of new rooms such as Gaston's bistro was very welcome. Not the type to coop himself up in his office, River took another quick inspection of his ward, placed all the necessary protective charms on the doors, and took a few calm strides to reach this special nook.

Merlin, Gaston outdid himself this time, hmm? He should've brought Roscoe and Bumi along, but he had a feeling that Gaston won't be a fan of flying fur; shedding month and all. River showed himself in and made a beeline for the tea. He made himself a cup, and gathered at least three pieces of madeleines. It looked like it was the healthiest option out of the bunch anyway. After gathering his snack, he made himself comfortable in one of the chairs and took a sip of his tea.

Well...it wasn't anything special. Just...ordinary tea, which is fine. He didn't expect Gaston to have a wide array of teas because that was him. He's the King of Tea. Tea Master. The Uncle Iroh of Basing Se. Yep.

River took a bite of his snack, and nodded in approval. Welp, he should've brought something to read at least. He felt rather awkward sitting there all by himself.
