As long as she came out unscathed - mostly, unscathed at least - and remained out of trouble. She didn't think anything of the girl's question, in fact she more than welcomed any question as long as it wasn't so invasive that she had to reveal parts of herself that needed to remain hidden.

Taking a small gulp of her water - because juice would've only made everything too sweet - she thought briefly about how best to answer her questions. "Well, I sort of do?" No, no, that wasn't quite right. "It's more like, my mum has us on a really healthy," more like strict, "diet at home, and we work out a lot." Understatement. They worked out every day, mostly, and Althea was so used to it, her metabolism just worked overtime. "I'm just always hungry, but I eat relatively healthy every day. I just eat frequently, and this," motions to all the plates, "is a bit of stress eating. O.W.L.s are really kicking my bum," she sighed after saying that last bit, and cut into the waffles in front of her.

Test subjects? In the dungeons. How did she not get caught?? The girl proved to be more interesting by the minute - something Althea never thought she'd say about anyone who wasn't in her immediate circle of friends - and the Hufflepuff found herself listening intently to her explain. "And you do this with permission? Or...," she suspected this wasn't Hogwarts approved, but...who knew? Maybe this was a new initiative that the staff were taking part of. She highly doubted it, though.


"My friend Clarissa insists you can enjoy life without ever being reckless." Always the practical one her friend was. "D'you know her? She's in your house but my year." Perhaps the two had bumped into each other at some point, they shared a common room afterall.
"I like to think I'm reckless but in all likelihood I'm probably not. Just awful curious and little else." But oh so willing to satisfy her curiosity whenever the need arose. "What's the craziest thing you've ever done or eaten?"

It was time for the whipped cream. A look at her bowl had determined that she'd reached the maximum she would be able to consume in one sitting and the girl would hate to think she'd have to put the rest away for later. There was just something infinitely more satisfying about a clean bowl. "That's neat, what sort of restaurant is it? A healthy foods one? Vegan stuff?" Because if it was, Bastien would probably like it and she could recommend it to him. It made sense. Althea had said they had a healthy diet and stuff so maybe they made a family business out of it? Whipped cream now set atop her ice-cream, she moved to the chocolate syrup. "Are you working out for a specific reason." Like Quidditch or some other pass time that required one to be toned.

Aaaaaaaand sprinkles. "I could help you with OWL studying sometimes. I don't mind. I like learning things in advance." Rather than waiting til she was actually a Fifth Year herself.

"Weeelll..........." The young girl sprinkled the last of her toppings onto her treat then moved to replace them in their originally holding places."It's not that black and white. See....no one ever said I couldn't.........but then Professor Wayland got mad and threatened detention and took points.......so I guess I can't really say I've got that anymore." It was never that she'd been told she could but rather that she'd never been told she couldn't. "Sets me back by a bit, I reckon, but I haven't completely given up and I haven't released every one of 'em either." One did not release months of hard work, not even in the face of detention. Knowledge at all cost. She was serious when she'd said it.
