Soon enough she was beginning to speak to him as though they were business associates or something - he had sat in on some of his dad's meetings when he was younger, though it mostly had all gone over his head. Department head talks in Accidents and Catastrophes was beyond complicated. "No offense, Emmalyn but...I reckon you can't really speak for Ewan," he chuckled, offering the Ravenclaw a bit of an apologetic smile. because, well, she was cutting a deal that included him without consulting him and stuff. "Though...not entirely sure why we need to have a deal anyway. Friendship isn't about give and take, yeah?"

Running a hand through his hair, the fifth year leaned back on his hands and observed the two of them for a bit. "But...if you both are keen to help me out, then sure. I'm gonna start with trying to get a standard muggle chess board, see if I can get it to behave like wizard's chess before I start on the big board. Though I'm gonna try to get knight piece to move first. No weapons with a horse, you know?" he explained with a chuckle.

Though the offer of being a taste tester, well, that made him anxious. He didn't NOT like chocolate...but there was a lot of anxiety surrounding magically enhanced food at this school and the long long history of it. "What are you guys aiming to do with the chocolate? Magical in what sense?"

Derf was starting to grow on him a bit now. Despite his initial indifference to the older hufflepuff, he'd appreciated the him stepping in on his behalf, even if he didn't mind Emmalyn talking on his behalf. With a tentative smile at Derf, he run his hands through his hair "Uh, thanks Derf, don't worry, i'm not sure how much help i'll be but I'll give it a go! You think it might be worth looking back through any books about the original board? Maybe it'll lead back to some spell to use on it now. " He wasn't exactly sure how he could help but putting forward a suggestion made him feel slightly better, even if it wasn't a great one.

Catching the apprehensive look on his face when chocolate tasting was mentioned, he grinned "Oh yeah, we're going to make chocolate that's been cursed to engorge your head; and others that'll swell your throat until all you can do is talk like a whistle...". With a mischievous smile, he started laughing. "Nah, in all seriousness, you sort of interrupted our first meeting. I mean, if you have any ideas, we're all ears. Although, I just wanted to make amazing tasting chocolate with a little wizard finesse to it". Shaking slightly with excitement now, he smiled at them both. All this talk of chocolate had put everything else out of his mind.
