"Valentines Day is one of those days where the kids seem to go crazy." Love crazy that is. As Cami listened to River tell her about how he enjoyed taking things apart and put them back together she smiled. "Is that so?" This was something she hadn't known about the man and honestly found it interesting. "A true Ravenclaw is what I'm getting from this."
Muggle microscope. Well that explained his being in here searching about for parts. "Well that's never any good but those muggle items don't tend to last, do they?" Typical wear and tear on items happened but for things that were already very old it was even worse. "Have you spoken with Kay? Maybe she has some parts lying about or one of two microscopes she doesn't need that you can use for parts." Just a suggestion seeing as how Kaysha was the Muggle Studies professor it couldn't hurt to ask her.
Camilla walked over towards where River when standing when he gestured for her. A small smile crossed her face as she looked at the compasses laying before them. "Well I would go with the last one...there's just something about the wooden case that I like...but if you're looking for something to carry around then this one would be a good idea," she answered thoughtfully pointing at the one in the center. Each one was lovely for a different reason however so it all really came down to his taste in the matter.
River kept examining bizarre wizarding equipment and then moved on to the muggle ones in
desperatesearch of the parts he needed. He momentarily looked up from a set of weighing scales to Cami and shook his head.
"What was it that Jordan told me before?" he said as he looked up at the ceiling in wonder,
"Ah yes. Teenage hormones." he continued scratching the back of his neck. He could not remember being crazy over a girl until he was in his sixth year. It was safe to say that he'd been head over heels in love with Xaviera. Fun times, and one of the hardest memories to forget. River beamed sheepishly at Cami and nodded his head in agreement.
"That's us. The Reed family has been in Ravenclaw for centuries...and each of us has a strange quirk. Mine would be to take away parts...and re-build it again without magic." Cool, yeah?
"They don't actually, but it's amazing what muggles can do without magic. It's most interesting." Another round of Ravenclawing again and...ugh. Oops? And yes! Why didn't he think of approaching Kay for this?
"Oh, that's an idea yes." River nodded as he carefully added weights to the weighing scale, giving it an equilibrium.
"I don't think she'd have...muggle microscopes with her though." Unless she's into research and science? Nevertheless, he'd have to ask the Muggle Studies Professor soon.
The Healer moved back to the set of compasses, and he picked up the one in the middle.
"I'd go with this." he said as he turned it in his hands examining it carefully...and shook it a bit to give him the true north.
"Yes...yes, this will do." he said giving Cami a satisfied smile, and turned towards the counter to pay for his new toy.
"Anything that caught your fancy?" She could pay him back as soon as they were back in the castle...
