Well... he'd tried. And Trent didn't seem terribly pleased about the attempt, which led Kaiser to believe he'd be similarly unimpressed when he asked to be excused from the lesson entirely, once the next activity started up. But he didn't really have the spare mental energy to fret about that. Every cloud.
Kaiser did not attempt to find a partner, though he knew this would not be viewed very favourably either. There just seemed to be little point in wasting anyone's time by partnering up with them and then immediately unpartnering. He decided it was better to just stay out of the way, as a sort of non-verbal heads up to the Headmaster, a pre-warning that he'd be letting him down (again) imminently. He thought about the question, sure, and had plenty of potential answers for Trent - the most simple of which was that you would absolutely be taken unawares if you let your concentration lapse, which meant someone could get the better of you in any variety of ways - but kept his mouth firmly shut.
But... maybe it would have been a better idea to mingle in the group of students, at least for the moment, because now he had a... Slytherin on his hands. The Slytherin. Kaiser looked at him, glanced towards Trent again, and then back at Slytherin. He still didn't really know what the deal was with these founders. Were they capable of magic? Did he want to find out? (No, he did not. And, frankly, it seemed best to err on the side of caution.)
And that question... was complicated. Kaiser didn't actually know the answer, not even a little bit of it. Still, when a guy who looked an awful lot like Salazar Slytherin came up to you and asked about your (presumably magical) lineage, and you didn't know if he was capable of taking you out on the spot... well, you made do.
"Pureblood... sir," Kaiser replied, just as quietly, and he glanced towards Trent once more. Checking to make sure he wasn't looking, or hoping to get his attention, it was difficult to fathom. "Old European families." He knew 'Kaiser' was the name of a German pureblood family, at least. Whether he actually came from it was as yet a mystery, but didn't they always say the best lies were shrouded in truth? And this possible lie (maybe it really was true, he had no idea) would hopefully only need to serve until he could make his exit.
