But what she asked him when she finally spoke again, took the former Ravenclaw completely by surprise.

Him…join her?

Could it really hurt? It was simply strolling the Alley down a little and getting a late lunch, which he reminded himself that he hadn’t eaten himself. His stomach was just a bit more used to not being so vocal. “Why not…” Septimus mused rhetorically. “Though perhaps it would be best if we weren’t complete strangers,” he remarked, before offering a hand. “Septimus Hadley-Nairne.”

It was an odd request, and once she'd spoken it aloud Lee expected a polite decline before the guy strode off. But at least she could tell her brother later that she did attempt to expand her non-existent social circle. Although, perhaps she'd leave the details and how far out of left field her attempt had come from. Not that he'd believe her anyways.

His agreement to join her almost surprised her more than the fact she'd offered to begin with. And Lee... blinked at him for a moment, before the introduction and his words got through to her. Chuckling slightly and breaking herself from whatever distraction she had in her own head space, she accepted the offered hand and gave it a firm shake, a small chuckle accompanying. "A wise thought. Pleasure to meet you, Septimus. I'm Leela Liu." Her full name was far too much of a mouthful, and in most social settings she preferred to accept only her Dad's lineage anyways.

Lee took a few steps towards the stall, finding a place in line as her stomach gave another - thankfully quieter - growl. "What brings you out to the alley today?"
