"Oh? Where to?" Drewett asked. He'd understood the need for personal space and, if it weren't for the library's extensive book collection and references, he wouldn't be much of a visitor of the library. "B-But if it's private, I understand." He wasn't going to push for Rory to share if he didn't want to. A private space was a private space. This Ravenclaw genuinely respected that. It was one of things he liked about Rory, too. That he kept to himself. Sometimes Kodee overwhelmed Drewett with his obscenely direct questions, and on the other hand, Jolie was literally one of the few people who could read right through him. He'd had far too many deer-in-the-headlights moments because of her, not that it was a bad thing.
Aaaand this was why Drew was one of his best friends. Best friends. Did he even have those? It was so hard for Rory to define relationships with people, he was such a closed book he barely shared anything significant with people other than his siblings. This probably was not healthy, but it wasn't something of his control. He was raised in a crowded home, he did not find the urgency to open up to people outside his family. He could see this was not the case with Kodee and Jolie, but hey, they were not introverts.

"One of the corners in the Ravenclaw towers. I'll show you tomorrow." He did not mind sharing his studying corner with Drew. "But please don't show anyone else, I'll have to change it then." And kids who are already half-prisoned in the castle had an overload of energy that they'd unleash on his sweet, tidy corner. No, thank you.

"So, where have you been?"

But he was sure that they were safe inside the castle. As long as they stayed within the protective walls, Gunnar was sure they'd be fine.

He was so into his head that he hadn't noticed that he walked right past his own table until he was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the exclamation when he walked by. Oh... was he at the Ravenclaw table? He looked over at the boy, seeing that it was Rory Chosen. Of course, his best friend was the boy's sister, Jolie, and he was thick as thieves with their other triplet, Kodee, but he didn't know Rory as well as the other two. Still, he was familiar with him and wondered what the short, sudden outburst was about.

"Hey... everything okay?" Gunnar looked at him with a hint of concern, though everything seemed to be okay. At least he didn't see anything immediately concerning.
...oops. Rory cleared his throat and offered a very very small smile. "Yeah, yeah. I just dropped Uhm... never mind. It's nothing." He ruined his perfectly neat and clean book was what he was going to say!! But ah well.

Rory also knew Gunnar pretty well. Maybe they never sat down for a chat except in a few of their classes. They were NOT in the same house so he did not have a personal conversation with him before. His name definitely came up in conversations with Jolie from time to time. He knew that he was close with both his siblings (the ones at Hogwarts anyway). But that was the extent of his knowledge.

Rory did not know whether to ask him to join him for breakfast or not, he was curious about Gunnar for sure but asking people to join him to chat was not Rory's natural reflex during conversations.
