sorry ._______. *guesses she was too slow then* astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Well...he hadn't heard MUCH but what he had heard had sounded really lovely, so Reese's request for an encore was certainly warranted. And for a moment Derf wanted to ask her if she was interested in signing up for orchestra with the Charms professor - where he was with his guitar - but her reluctance to continue playing somewhat made him think otherwise.
And then came the haughty response to what he had THOUGHT was her actual name. "Oh, sorry," he nodded with a firm ruffle of the hair. "Quinn then. Hi." And he wasn't entirely sure what to make of the younger Hufflepuff's proud look - only he sorta could understand if he was assuming right - because Abey was the same with him. Everyone else had to conform to the more mature sounding Abra...but he, well, he got to keep his Abey. His Gryffindor.
So sure, puff that chest out. Be proud of your connections with others. They were special, you know?
"I'm Derfael, but friends call me Derf," he offered as a bit of an after thought. Though Reese had already sorta introduced him by reference. And, for the record, he had said unique and not odd. Any negative connotations from his curiosity were on the Ravenclaw.
Who...was now leaving. And taking Reese with him?
Er...he hadn't meant to kick her out of the office...especially since he hadn't been planning on using it to begin with.
Uuuuuuuuuh...
"Bye...then," he offered as an awkward wave to the departing duo.
Well...since the room was no longer going to be used....Derf shut the door and, welp, he would just continue on with his patrol and find himself in the music room eventually!
