"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.
"Well you, what?" Yes, yes she was in her element. Thank you very much. Nina Castillo didn't find enjoyment at making boys wriggle around in place. (Read: She very much found enjoyment in making boys wriggle around in place.) When Drewett wriggled it was not only incredibly amusing, but it was highly endearing. She looked at him rather fondly as he stood in thought. She was also curious to see what words he would come up with to finish his sentence. She wouldn't let him off that easily. Besides, he had frightened her. Improvisation and a little pre-dinner entertainment was the least he owed her.

But to be fair, this wasn't how she expected the term to start either. In fact, she had decided that she'd sit at the Slytherin table for once, ignore Eloise and move on with her life. Unfortunately, this was all much easier said than done. Because the moment she caught sight of one of the dorm mates from hell, she realized that the vulnerable part of herself that they had poked and prodded, was very much still present. Definitely not how she imagined it.

Her eyes lit up at his offer. Despite the fact that she was well aware of her open invitation, it was always nice to hear it out loud. Just to make sure she was wanted. It was important, okay? "And Hudson too?" She already knew the answer, but again, checking. Her boys. She wanted to sit with both of them. As far away from the Slytherin table as possible, please?

Let it be known that Nina chose only to remember tiny details about those she cared about. If it wasn't already obvious, Drewett was one of those people. One that she cared about deeply.... even though she and Pietro were no where near being friends. She did try for Drewett, but. Some sacrifices were more difficult to make than others. "Really?" Again, why did she care enough to be surprised in the first place? "That's... admirable."

...

Was it? Was it, really?
