"Good evening Kaysha. I trust you are doing well, then?" she asked , leaning on the table in front of Kaysha. She would take a seat in just a moment. "I hope to see you this summer, sweetheart." She shot a sly smile at Kaysha's neighbor, Kalen, and even gave him a wink before heading off for her own seat.

As he did so, he caught sight of Kalen drinking his tea. "I keep on forgetting to give this to you, Kalen. I'm not sure if you're familiar with White Tea, but I would like you to give it a try if you haven't," he said leaning towards his plate to get a good view of the Librarian and levitated a white parcel his way.

At any rate, she wanted to see both Cami and Kay during the break. she wanted to see EVERYONE.

It was almost as if Laurel was reading her mind - which was entirely possible - as her friend had decided at that moment to ask if they were still planning to have their annual Girl's Day. "Of course. I wouldn't dream of missing that. Like Kay said, this has become our tradition." One that she was also planning to keep. Besides, who could ever say no to a day of shopping and gossip among other things? Time with girlfriends was always important in her opinion, and maybe even more so because she had grown up around boys and a lot of her family was male. There was only so much of that she could take before it got too much and she needed female company. Fortunately it hadn't been so bad now that she was living on her own and at Hogwarts for the majority of each year...

Both River and Kalen were being as pleasant as ever, and Rosalyn noticed that they were also looking very nice tonight. Then again everyone was. "So do you two have any fun and exciting plans for the summer? she asked curiously. Even though this was the typical kind of conversation that occurred during the end of term, it was something that she still liked doing, and not just out of politeness; it was nice to know what the people that she worked with, her friends, would be up to while away from Hogwarts.

He couldn't help it, now that he knew what he knew. But he would never let her know. Before she could see him he quickly closed his mouth and smile, waved and winked at her as she sat down. "Evening, Rose." He said with a grin.

He would have to deal with that racing heart later...



Chuckling, Tristan grinned back at Kale, "Doing great, Kale! Ready for that Trip to London? We got a lot supplies to pick up!" Kalen was going to help him pick up all the supplies he would need for the next term at the tail end of his trip to Wales. They were going to make a weekend out of it and go goof about Diagon Alley. He was excited to spend time with his friend.

He turned his head to his left to hear what Rose had to say and nodded first in response. "I don't know about Kalen, but I do have a very busy summer ahead. I'm off to Japan with Jace for Roscoe and Bumi's Rescue Training...a quick visit to Germany care of Roderik, Wingsuit Flying with old friends in Brasil, and then back to England...for a surprise," he said, quickly glancing to where Camilla was. She had a rollercoaster ride this term, and he'd been there to witness everything so the woman deserved a good time..

Then he turned to the librarian. "Thank you, Kalen. I'm quite well." This was probably the first time all term that he could honestly say that! "You?".

She really didn't want to get to into the details here at the staff table before the feast got underway. Her brown eyes did however stray towards the Gryffindor table to land upon a certain young lion (Emmeline) sitting there who she smiled warmly at. "What about you?"
