He seemed to act differently towards Lexi... She didn't like that. When it came to relationships, Hecate had only had 3... and the men never strayed to another woman... so she never had to compete. Was she going to have to compete with Lexi? Was the Herbology professor... and most importantly his Greenhouse, even worth it?

"I'm staying at the school for the summer. I have some projects..." and that's when she remembered her hair. She smirked and patted it a bit. "... I'm perfecting."

What little blood that was left there, drained quickly from Sage's face.. leaving him almost as pale as Nearly Headless Nick. It was the complete opposite to his normal blushing. This lady was scary. So scary in fact, Sage was beginning to wonder if he and Lexi would even be able to make it back out of here alive.

What if she did something terrible to them.. and they weren't found until the other Professor's returned to the castle in September? Surely his family would send help if he didn't return home? He hoped so.

As usual, Sage was fearing the worst. And as usual, his lack of coordination got the better of him, and he almost dropped the steaming mug of coffee Professor Lafay sent in his direction.

The last thing he wanted was to make her mad..

"Your.. your hair.. looks very nice today," he gulped nervously, hoping a compliment would lighten her scary mood a little. He did NOT want to know what these projects of hers were.. No way.

Then Sage corrected himself and called Hecate by her given name, so Lexi just assumed it had been a mistake and didn't think anymore of it.

When Sage sat down on the chair next to her, Lexi smiled and turned so that she was facing him. "The plants...I figured that's what you were doing here. I just came to drop off a few necessities that I wanted to make sure not to forget. I was just about to leave when I decided to stop by the staff room to see if anyone else was here," she answered. She glanced toward Hecate, who still had hair as large as a Hippogriff's nest, then turned back to Sage. "After today, though, I likely won't be back up here until it's time to officially report back. I need to take care of a few things at home, too."

In other words, Lexi wasn't the type to hang out at school when it was still summer break. Once the students arrived, chaos would come with them, and she wanted a few more days of peace before all that happened.

His coffee was still a little too hot, and so Sage placed it carefully on the small table in front of him before turning back towards Lexi. She was here to simply drop off a few things.. not to do some creepy experiments and projects too. "Yeah, I don't plan on coming back until the start of term either," he said quietly, hands fidgeting in his lap.

Socializing was not his thing. He just didn't do it. All his life he'd simply tried to just ... avoid people. And here he was in the staff room tying his utmost hardest to converse with not just ONE woman, but two.

He was beginning to wonder if he could perhaps excuse himself for the bathroom and slip away, when he heard a little yappy noise and a tiny dog was suddenly in Lexi's arms. Sage immediately felt a little better and leaned forward to pet the little critter. "I didn't know you had a dog!"

She probably ought to hide it. Hecate would probably like to use Prince Charming in one of her 'projects.'
