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...
Each piece of equipment that was laid around was looked at not only by River but also herself. She might not have known what everyone of the items was but most she did. Some caught her eye and she picked them up to get a closer look before setting it back down again.
"Exactly," she agreed laughing softly. All the hormones and teenage angst that's going to be happening. Sure she had had her crushes and such back in the day but she hadn't been truly in love until after Hogwarts and that was a time she choose not to discuss. Camilla laughed softly.
"That sounds like fun actually, however I'm sure I'd be terrible at it unless there was things I could transfigure."
His Ravenclawing about things he liked didn't at all bother Cami. In fact it was just the opposite. He was sounding a lot like Kay right now with this talk of muggles though.
"I'd have to once again agree with that. A lot of their items are rather interesting." Mostly the technology like televisions and such.
"That I really wouldn't know but being a muggle professor I'm sure she has a lot of things lying about somewhere."
Camilla smiled warmly as River selected the compass of his choice, the one in the middle.
"It's lovely. Do you plan to use it on your travels or unexpected adventures?" They had spoken about their travels before so she knew it was something he did a great deal of over the years just as she had. Hmm? Cami glanced around once before shaking her head.
"Oh, no, not today. Thank you though." She appreciated his interest in what she might have liked as well as his own interest in things.
