There was an air of expectation in the air that they were not a fan of and rather than meet it head on, they were busying themselves with the snack table.
leaning over said table, their tie slipping over drink and snack in turn, Saturn took a cup of hot green tea and took a deep breath. the familiar earthy scent brought them back to their feet, which was more than welcome.

any second now, Ariadne would be joining them and Saturn didn’t want the blonde to see just how out of it their dorm mate was.
Why even was Ariadne Lysandra Ackerly here? She hadn't had a clue, either.

Kidding. There were three reasons. First, she was feeling rather directionless these days. In more ways than one, if she really thought of it. Ari didn't know half the time where life took her, and she figured at least showing up at the job fair meant taking control of some aspect of her mess. Ma Layla had encouraged her to check a few booths out, anyway. They'd talked about life trajectories and post-graduation plans over the summer, when she opened up about her OWLs worries. Though Ari genuinely didn't know what she wanted, and neither were her mums forcing her to make decisions right away, this was the least she could do. She needed to think about it and she owed it to her mums. Second, she had Rora to worry about. Only Merlin knew what her little sister had in mind today. Ari figured the younger blond would talk the ear off anyone willing to listen to her in every single career booth, and they would have to because it's their job and Ari wanted to make sure her sister didn't occupy too much of the hosts' time. The sixth year would remain as Rora's tether and rein her in when necessary.

The third reason was right over there by the refreshment tables, sipping off their cup of whatever-that-is since she couldn't see it from this distance. Ari made her way towards Saturn as she fixed up her blouse to look its most presentable. "Hey," the Ravenclaw said, with a wink, once she was close enough to her friend. "This doesn't look like a career booth to me. You must be lost." She had jokes, your honour! But also, anything to maybe stall making decisions about her future. Because Ari was very good at that.

Also, yes, they were absolutely told to dress professionally—which Ari did—but she wasn't a fan of these skirt lengths. She already couldn't wait to finish up and charm it a bit shorter.
