Man, was he being complimentary and positive or what?! Lucas felt his cheeks burning, and he wondered if what the man said was true. Did hardwork always pay off? Surely sometimes it didn't...he had begun to think that lately at least. It was kind of pessimistic, more negative than Lucas typically was, but this term at Hogwarts, he realized, had been forcing him to think this way. It was easier to expect failure and bad things to happen than to hope for the opposite only for DREAMS TO BE CRUSHED. "I hope so. I'm a little nervous because - " But then the man OFFERED HIS ROOM? Lucas practically glowed at the offer. "Well, sir, that's a wonderful offer! I have a few people on my 'crew,' as I'd call it, and I wonder if we'd all fit in there. I don't think I've ever been in that room before...is it big? How big is it?" he had his hands behind his back, together, as he rocked back and forth from the balls of his feet to his heel. He had a habit of doing this while conversing with people. It was a nervous habit without the nervousness.
Foster grinned at the bow. "You're welcome. I do exercise, but I don't typically dance. I enjoy yoga." His heart warmed at the pleased look on the young man's face. "You keep practicing and working hard, and I guarantee good will come of it." Foster knew he couldn't ensure all his dreams would become reality, but he did know that working hard would give him a big boost in achieving those goals.

He thought about the room before replying. "There are a few sitting areas in the room that could easily be moved, to accommodate your crew. I would think there would be plenty of room for up to ten dancers, more depending on the style of dance. I simply request that you put the room back as you found it before leaving."
