Santi couldn't quite figure it out and was therefore even more captivated by the professor.
Santi kept the interest in his voice, making the decision to ask about him instead of expand on himself... after all, knowledge was power. "Did you like training as an actor, sir?" He'd been undecided on the question he'd asked for the professor's expressionless mention of it may have indicated regret or embarrassment at the decision. He took the chance.
"I did indeed. I was good at it too." The monotone didn't give that away right now though. "I was less comfortable with the result of it though, the actual career itself was relatively pleasant until my name got known. Muggle broadway..." He added in explanation and then shrugged. Musical theatre was still something he appreciated.
"So I left."
He didn't much mind that this boy, Santi, was being curious. It didn't hurt for him to know any of this and Ethan judged it probably made him more approachable or something.
