It was ridiculous because he was ridiculous and it therefore made her feel ridiculous for finding it so endearing. Endearing and a tiny bit of an ego boost because it was her, this, that was causing him to act more ridiculous than usual and strut like he was so wrock star. Just, well, if he started wearing sunglasses indoors then there would be some issue and he would have crossed the threshold from endearing ridiculousness to embarrassing ridiculousness. Her stride was no different aside from an arm around his back because she felt ridiculous walking with her arms by her side and her eyes ahead at the staff table taking a mental rollcall to make sure her favorites and essentials were still present and accounted for. They were, mostly, but she couldn't help but groan at having yet another new Herbology professor. She missed Professor Tapio if for no other reason than she had built up a repertoire with him that had last a while before being thrust into starting over in her later years at this school. At least this would be the last of that and then it was...well...she hadn't entirely sorted that out yet really between two branches on her personal tree of ambitions but she had time to sort that all out. Months was a lot of time, right?
Annoyance at faculty changes was more of a minor inconvenience when compared to the irritation she had felt at the interruption on the train, though she supposed those two girls had better timing doing so before rather than during but...ugh, whatever. The almost of things left her thoughts lingering and, dare she admit to it, yearning a little. Hopefully the headmaster's speech would be short and then they ate somewhat quickly. Following his gaze over to the Ravenclaw table where both girls from the train were not seated (though she could have sworn they were not from the same house...not that she had ever really paid either of them too much attention until the interruption) and slowed her stride a bit while her bloke Solomon waved. "Your close friends, right?" she noted with a nod towards them as she attempted to speak in the least judgemental manner possible. "Are they always so...peculiar?"
Her own gaze lingered on the two girls for another moment or two before settling in beside Solomon. Her mood quite pleasant, she even offered a sort of smile at the menagerie of younger housemates. It reminded her she needed to promote herself to a couple of the professors as a tutor for their subjects - tutoring not only helped her review for her own examinations but it looked good on applications. More things to add to her pragmatic to-do list.
Rolling her eyes at his butchering of the classics but laughing nonetheless, Sage reached up for that hand tapping his chin like some pseudo philosopher and laced her fingers with it instead. "You could, but I would not recommend doing so," she hummed while resting her other elbow on the table and holding her head up with that hand and turned to watch him with an entirely too amused expression. "Unless you like dark and dreary dungeons in which case...we need to get you out of the castle more to touch some grass."
