She cut into more of her waffles, and was made her way through the last stack - she amazed herself, and if her mother could see how much she ate, she'd faint - mulling quietly over Jessa's words. "But why do we stick with that? Why not change it?" She was in a very philosophical mood as of late, constantly questioning what was happening around her and wondering if she was living life on her own terms or if fate was nudging her along a predestined path.

"You are right about that," she said, licking syrup off of her lip, "the girls here are pretty crazed about the latest trend. It's very...odd, yet interesting." Was that hypocritical of her? She wasn't sure. Althea understood the allure of wanting to fit in, but she was perfectly happy with how she was, she couldn't possibly imagine being just like everyone else. It sounded boring. "Mmhm, we serve both the muggle and magical community." Though even that got tricky sometimes. "He named it after my mum, it's called Dairine's." She smiled at that; her dad was terribly romantic and a sap when it came to his wife. Althea did appreciate the sort of relationship they had, though she wasn't sure if she would ever find that for herself. "Uhh, it's not fancy, maybe like dressy-casual?" At least, that's how Althea would go into it. Maybe a nice pair of denims or a cute top, something that was a little bit above ordinary, she thought.

"Hmm...I've got a friend who plays Quidditch, Daisy Carden? She's really good, you should definitely ask her for pointers." It seemed that she was full of recommendations today! But...she couldn't help it, she found Jessa terribly adorable, and once Althea latched on...she never let go. "If you're serious about playing, but even if you just want to do it for fun, Daisy would be the right person to talk to." At last she'd finally finished her stack of waffles. The Hufflepuff was full - stuffed, even - but didn't regret anything. "I've got a friend who's been studying like that," she shook her head at that. "I couldn't do it, my summer was way too packed, and besides I needed the mental break from school." She liked school enough, she just wished they wouldn't focus so much on homework and exams and would focus more on practical applications of magic. It was so frustrating!

"I know so. My brother might be a lot of things but he is full of helpful information." And even though she wasn't entirely speaking to him still, if Jessa asked it of her, she would harass Levi to at least entertain the younger girl for a conversation or two. "You really seem into that stuff, I wish I had that sort of drive."

She even thought they'd get along. Could this trip to the kitchen get any better? Yes, yes apparently it could because by the sounds of it, Althea was a questioner. Didn't sound like the girl was keen to take things at face value simply because they were, which...kinda raised her a couple steps higher in Jessa's esteem. "Because most people are fine not having to think things through for themselves. They've forgotten how to ask why and sometimes they just get annoyed by the why...at least....that's how I see it." But the whys were too strong in her. There wasn't a day that passed without the young girl questioning SOMETHING.

"I'm not too brilliant at catching on to the trends." And it wasn't from a lack of trying either. "By the time I finally get it, they've usually moved on or I just don't do it right." Which left her trying only half the time anymore. Sometimes it felt like everything was passing by her really quickly and she could scarcely keep up. But oh! A mixed clientele! "I might convince my mum to come too then!" The idea thrilled her in truth. If they catered to muggles, the setting was likely mundane. Her mum hated magic but she could tolerate it when it wasn't seen so........it could work? It'd been ages since her parents had been in the same place for more than a few minutes. "I'll start working on an owl the moment I get back to my dorm. It's gonna be my birthday wish now." A lovely evening with BOTH her parents for New Year's Eve.

"I've seen her around!" Jessa declared proudly. It was always a great accomplishment when an older student mentioned someone and she actually knew of them too. It gave the illusion they were running in the same circles, even if they really weren't, and made her feel like she fit in a little more. "Would you ask her for me? D'you think she would??--would she help my friend Cameron too??" Because while she wanted this for fun, he was serious about joining the big leagues one day. Also, Althea had the right idea.
"Summers are for relaxing. I get restless after awhile but not in the sort of way that'd make me study. Studying's hard."

As it so happened, Jessa LOVED people who were full of useful information but not in the traditional help with classes and homework sense, the young girl liked ...wider...more applicable information that she could put to good use after her lessons ended. "D'you think you would talk to him too for me? Pleeeaaaasse?" When there was an in, one did not let it close. That was ill-advised. "I think it's just curiosity. I like knowing how things work and I only get so much from reading," kinesthetic learner and all,
"so I like to get my hands dirty myself when I can. It's more fun that way!"
