Sage certainly did not noticed one of her younger housemates taking their title as a Hogwarts snake a bit too literally (and it was probably for the best that her attention was as preoccupied as it was because there would have been some serious judgments being made) nor did she feel the urge to eavesdrop into the other conversations around her, but she did take notice of her little protégé arrive at the table and offered the girl and her venus flytrap a little finger wiggle in greeting.
Solomon really didn't need to tell her not to be too concerned about his best friends' behavior since she had hardly considered them before they had unceremoniously interrupted the almost milestone of her life. Now she minded, though it was more so in the way one might mind a buzzing mosquito. "Pet names," she repeated drying with a cocked brow. It took her a moment to connect the dots and then she was rolling her eyes. "You tell me. You sure that isn't what you have been filling out your diary with? Is that why you had to hide it so quickly? Didn't want me to see the names you came up with for me?" Two could play at this game, Solomon. Though, in an ironic twist, the nickname of Batman may just stick...and maybe they both could educate themselves on what that actually meant since she barely knew the basics thanks to some Muggle Studies assignment or another.
With the promise of nooks in the air, Sage felt tempted to throw him a tiny bone and just maaaaaaaaaybe give him a little peck on the cheek (the ALMOST had been plaguing her thoughts ever since the interruption and it was driving her crazier than a fwooper's song) and had even started to lean in when he was talking all rough and snappy. "Excuse you?" she snapped right back before she realized that he was looking behind her and then she turned to see what the fuss was about. Oh, another rubbernecker. It was kind of exciting to be eliciting some of these responses. "If you want an autograph or picture, you could just ask," she replied equally as haughtily as her bloke Solomon had.
As for all the talk about the ghost professor (oh yeah, that was new), Sage shrugged her shoulders and decided to bestow some knowledge since there was plenty of speculation going around. "She is a nosy ghost who usually haunts the Astronomy Tower," she explained, the agitation quite clear in her voice. Sage had had to relocate several times over the terms due to the ghost trying to help when it wasn't wanted. "Be careful what you say around her, she can be worse than some of the portraits."
And then the speech finally happened with the headmaster's usual ramblings and ridiculous attempts at humor. If she had any interest in butterscotch she would be tempted to go give the man the answer to his riddle, but it was hardly any riddle of the sphinx and therefore the effort to get from here to him or his office not worth it. Reminders about quidditch tryouts and gobstone sign-ups likewise went in one ear and out the other, she had never been too interested and never attended a match during any of her terms here and instead took advantage of a mostly vacant castle to do some reading or parkouring, but the appearance of food captured her attention and praise. "Finally," she muttered under her breath as she reached for the steamed vegetables first to soon be smothered in gravy. "Try to eat quickly so we can go see about those nooks," she whispered to Solomon as she grabbed a roll and dipped it in some of the gravy before taking a bite.
