Luca gave the Herbology Professor a nod in response, honestly relieved when more people approached. See, one wouldn’t exactly call Luca chatty and if it had just been him and the older man, well, he imagined the day would’ve been filled with some awkward silences he’d rather avoid. Speaking of awkward.. ”It’s Benetti, Professor.” This was directed at Professor Khanna, who’d given remembering his last name a valiant effort, though they’d missed the mark. Luca couldn’t blame them. How any of the staff remembered all the students’ names was kind of incredible to him.
The arrival of Yukie had Luca smiling, something he’d been doing more of as of late. ”Fancy seeing you here. I see we had the same idea.” The fourth year wiggled his own gloved hands at her before noting the arrival of Mitsuki. He was about to wave her over when she disappeared from view again and he blinked, confused. He could’ve sworn it was her.

Luca looked around at the younger students in attendance and tried to decide which one he thought would be the first to throw caution to the wind and test out exactly why the warning had been given in the first place. He would keep his distance, not wanting to be close when it happened. Curiosity always seemed to win out in these situations.
