This...this orientation thing was just an unnecessary day off that she was forced to take. As if her official days off weren't hard enough to stomach. Ugh.

Lex walked the length of the table slowly, piling her plate with anything that happened to catch her eye. The plan was to grab enough then slip out and head to Level 2 without anyone really noticing. The case Bellaire had brought to her attention, though not something she particularly cared about, was dead interesting, and the sooner they could get on it, the better. Besides, extra office time beat the hell out of staying here and rubbing elbows with people she didn't particularly care for. Some were alright, yeah, but Lex was far too addicted to her work and not nearly attached enough to the persons currently present to spare a few hours.

Some of these...some of those...

Orientation. Nicky wasn't exactly sure what to make of it. But she wasn't exactly one to turn down free food, and she supposed she did need to pick up her things, size up the other YATIs, that sort of thing. She was particularly eager to see if anyone seemed especially... susceptible to breaking under pressure.

There was also the question of whether Legend had any idea he'd be seeing her more often than when she crashed the occasional Chosen family gathering.

A bit of swagger in her step, Nicky approached the buffet, snagging a single carrot stick as she walked the length of it, considering the options. It was then that she saw one Alexa Cambridge piling her plate full of food. Her consideration of the spread ceased in that moment as a smirk played over her lips. Their last interaction has incensed the blonde, but it had also pushed her to prove that she was more competent than any of them had given her credit for. Especially Hirsch.

"I tried that levicorpus move I saw you pull at Hogwarts," she said, snapping the carrot stick between her teeth. "Was a pretty good vantage point." That she'd suspended herself from the ceiling of a closed library filled with fog was beside the point.

"So. When do I get my license for a second wand?"
