Um. "I wasn't going to skip," though it had, admittedly, been a thought that crossed her mind. "I'm just not sure where to sit." Seeing as the choices were now rather limited. And... There were several people she would rather avoid talking to for as long as possible. Until she had to, that is. Eventually she'd bump into Eloise and Karlin, and that's something she wouldn't be able to wiggle her way out of. But for now, she could strategize. Or at least try to.

She watched him almost studiously, an amused grin gracing her features. "Pietro," she remembered his owl, for the record. But... She didn't exactly want to visit it again, if that was alright? Once was enough and even that was way more than enough. Nina Castillo did not like animals. Even for boys. Whilst she was typically a good pretender, apparently some fears were harder to hide than others. Whoops. "How is he... doing?... Is Pietro still... with Hudson's...?" Um.

And why did she suddenly care to ask about an owl's dating life?
Well? Well???? Yes, in fact, he was very much aware that he was turning pink. Drewett could practically feel his ears and cheeks heating up, and while it wasn't a foreign feeling because he was Drewett Slinkhard, pointing out the obvious just made him even more sheepish. "Yeah? Well... I...." The Ravenclaw tried to think of something in response to being caught. This was like a deer in the headlights moment he wasn't asking for. Happens all the time to the likes of him. Instead, he just chuckled awkwardly and nervously.

This wasn't how he expected to start this term with. Not gonna lie. Anyway, he was going to casually ignore everything about the pinkness of his face right now.

Not sure where to sit? That could easily be solved, right? Sort of? "You could come sit with me," Drewett offered, but pretty sure Nina knew she was always welcome to be at the Ravenclaw table whenever she needed it. He was also actually on his way to look for Hudson and sit too. Hud wouldn't mind Nina joining them, Drewett knew. The three of them were friends. The Ravenclaw himself scanned the Slytherin table briefly too and saw Eloise in attendance, as well as Nina's other dorm mates. So, that must be why. He still felt bad for Nina. It was a new term and she still wasn't in luck with getting into her dorm mates' good side.

It always made Drewett rather happy when people remember tiny details about himself. So when Nina mentioned Pietro's name, he couldn't resist a smile as he nodded. "Mhm." She also didn't have to tell him that she never wanted to meet his owl again. Drewett deduced from Nina and Pietro's first meeting, anyway. While it had been amusing, he could tell Nina didn't enjoy quite that much. No worries. There will no longer be Nina-and-owl interactions this term, if Drewett could help it. "Still sassy...and yeah, b-barn owls mate for life." That's what Hud said, and Hud was basically an owl whisperer.

He'd leave it to Nina to think about how barn owl 'marriages' worked.
