Text Cut: Poncho Paul + Regina Quote:

Like, basically, maybe, besides himself. And Hirsch deserved a spot up there, too. He saluted her.
HEH! "Noooo, no ponchos tonight. Unfortunately, my husband couldn't make it, but I had to prepare to look sharp just in case!" Milton wouldn't be SEEN with Paul wearing a poncho. So. There you go. "What are you two getting up to, kiddos?" he teased and ruffled Roderik's hair just to bother him. "I'll join in, then, thanks for inviting me!" Totally third wheeling here. Was Hirsch single? WAS REGINA SINGLE? She was older than he was, was she not? He hadn't a clue about the love lives of his peers sans Rosalyn and Gaston AND that one time Hirsch had gotten that confetti stuff from some SECRET LOVE most likely. WELL THEN.
WELLLLLL THEN.
He hooked arms with Regina on the other side. "Everyone looks so classy tonight. it warms my heart!" Quote:

But the dress was too stunning to resist, and this event was a good excuse to wear it and be human.
Roderik's question amused her though she didn't show it, clearly already playing the game whether he knew it or not. "Genuinely asking," the woman replied, smiling and resisting to roll her eyes at his comment about her wanting to beat him at something. Of course she was going to beat him no matter what. And she knew he wouldn't be able to resist regardless.
Though talk of poker was, for now, set aside as Paul addressed them. She tried not to let the smile waver when he clapped at her and gave her a salute. "Oh, stop it, Paul. The clapping is totally unnecessary." As for the salute, well, he was dressed like a captain. She'd let that one slide.
A short laugh left her mouth the moment he said that he had to look sharp just in case Milton showed up. Was that the trick to making the Herbology professor leave his ponchos in the closet where they belonged? Invite Milton to every major school function? It was tempting... "Really? It is such a shame that he couldn't make it tonight." She rather enjoyed the man.
And ... kiddos? Kiddos? Then ruffling up Roderik's hair? Really, Paul? Really?
"We actually were just --" There was a pause. Regina gave Hirsch a look. Did the old man seriously just invite himself, making their duo now a trio? "-- going to play poker."
Oh, Merlin. This was seriously happening, wasn't it?
Now having a man at each arm, they continued on. "Yes, everyone looks simply ravishing tonight," she agreed with a nod of her head, keeping that poker face of hers going while trying to figure out how long the third wheel was planning on sticking with them. At this rate, probably all night. Merlin. If she was genuinely asking then poker it is. Though, something told him that this wasn't the right setting for it but it would have to do for the time being. He opened his mouth to ask her if they were going to make this game of theirs more interesting by placing some kind of bet or something for the loser to do but then.....
........ Paul happened.
Kiddos? Surely, they weren't that much younger than the Herboloy Professor? Not student aged. But, then again, it was much better than calling him Hirschys kisses in front of Regina herself. As for the hair ruffle, Hirsch pulled a slightly disgusted face, as if this simple action was causing him some serious pain. On any other day, he probably would've only minded it a bit but seeing as he'd spent quite some time perfecting it for Regina this was putting water to his looks. Reaching up a hand, he tried to straighten it out, but, once again, Paul happened.
Uh.
No.
No.
Green eyes glanced at Regina, exchanging a look that clearly said that he was as surprised about this as she was. Two's a company but three's a crowd. Was Paul not aware of this? "How good of a poker player are you, Paul?" It was then, that the wild imagery of the Hufflepuff Head of House jumping with glee over his cards came to mind.
He shook his head and looked around at the room, instead. There were a few Ilvermorny students not too far away where there seemed to be a yelling match going on. Huh. "Looks like everyone took note of the smart attire part of your notice, Regina."
