"Yeah-huh," said Killy, without a moment's let-up from his hands and feet. "Iris, then. Like in the eye." Clink-clinkedy-click-clack-clatter-clatter-thunk.
Achilles might have been knowledgeable enough to know that an iris was a part of the eye - though perhaps lacked the wisdom to figure that that was probably not the girl's namesake... if indeed he had been thinking about namesakes at all - but some of those words Iris-like-in-the-eye had used in her explanation had not yet appeared on his radar. But he did know what a plague was, and dreaming, and he could pretty much guess the rest.
"Cool," he said, no doubt unwittingly contributing to the whole 'doing the text a disservice' thing. "I read this one book once. I think it was about a niffler. Or maybe it was a kneazle." Difficult to know for sure, especially as he had not so much read it but been guided hopelessly through the book by a despairing tutor. He could not recall how it ended, or even if they got that far. But before he could launch into some rambling or other - that may or may not have been related to the subject of books, he never really knew until the words were already tumbling out of his mouth - they were onto something new.
"Nah," said Killy, in answer to both questions. "Do they do drums in orchestra? I never checked. It's not my thing." He played what he liked, onwhat he liked, when he liked, and didn't inflict any more sit-down-and-do-as-you're-told experiences on himself beyond what was absolutely necessary. And even those didn't really go all that well (see: this feast, right here, right now). "Feasts are too slow, they're too still, and I have to get the buzzing out, and there's not many options. Do you do orchestra? You seem like a cello kinda girl."
Surely the speech would be soon. Were they waiting for a drumroll, or maybe that would be the hint they needed? Killiam of Zacharias could provide; he flipped his plate over, so that it actually bore a better resemblance to a snare drum in both sight and sound, and applied the makeshift drumsticks to the exposed underside.
