If there was one thing Vera Brinley Thanatos was good at doing, was praising the people she cared about. SHE thought they were all the coolest, and even if she could tease some in a more disparaging sounding way (mainly Vasco and Logan, though the latter not of late), it was only because she didn't believe an iota of the words she spoke. And should any of them need a morale boost, she was happy to sing their praises. Even literally if that's what would make them feel better. "I mean, I feel like you have to prove that now though or the words are just meaningless." She replied, a teasing grin on her face. Would she happily buy her own ticket to support her friend? 110%, but if Leo wanted to just give her tickets who was she to say no??? "Done. I'll put it on my calendar and be there! Do you have merch already or do I get to make original, embarrassing one of the kind Leo stan stuff?" Who was she kidding, she was doing that anyways.

She was clearly not the type to consider the wiseness of waiting on dating or anything like that. She'd thought about the idea of dating a fair bit in third year, thought it'd be cool if someone was actually interested in her like that. And then last term she'd been more focused on dating someone specific. And this term… well, to be determined. The flush caught her attention and she grinned, reaching out with a foot and nudging his calf. "And does that smile mean someone caught your attention??? Because if it's this house, I can wingwoman for you." she could for other houses too, but Gryffindor is far easier.

Challenge accepted. "My vocal chords are almost offended by your lack of faith in us." she smirked at him, a small giggle escaping. Even if he couldn't hear her, a shrieking lioness was sure to catch some attention somewhere. "Honeycomb lollies?? Are those made out of honey or… shaped like a honeycombs?" She liked sweets, but as a chocolatier's daughter the bittersweet treat had her in a chokehold. With a smirk, she nodded enthusiastically. "Oh that is genius. A trick and a treat. What potion we infusing into them for Halloween?"

At the commentary of her job, and his as well and where he wanted to be as well, she opened her mouth to reply before she was distracted by the arrival of her favorite female blonde. "Siaaaaa! We were talking about our jobs. Trash forager was not overly excited but I had fun. And I have a nice new cloak for it." She grinned mischievously, before moving to rest against the couch in front of her best friend. "What are you up to?"
