Nevertheless, he took it all in his usual stride (more of a careless saunter, really), and, smiling brightly, manoeuvred several jugs, all filled with different beverages, into his colleague's reach.
"Good evening, Professor Saylen," he said cheerfully, setting down a heavy jug of pumpkin juice next to her plate. Then he tried to figure out how to answer her question. Holed up in the Tower as he often was, Risu tended to be very late with gossip and other, more substantial news, and most of the things he saw up there that he thought of as "fun" had to do with staring into the night sky. Probably nothing a creature wrangler such as Professor Saylen wanted to hear about.
"The, er... Triwizard Tournament?" he ventured hopefully. "I do believe I managed to catch one of the tasks. The, um, second one." He nodded. "Yes, I think it was the second one." Oh, the image of the scatterbrained scientist was one he would never rid himself of. "But I have to admit, I'm not much for this Tournament. Not a lot to see, wasn't there. And so dangerous..." He shook his head, and drank deeply from a goblet of pumpkin juice.
"The Ball was fun, though," he added, nodding cheerfully. "What did you think of it?"
He seemed rather happy. The corner of Maya's lips curled up slightly as she watched him set down the jug. Ah, juice, very mucho needed. She, inclined her head towards him, picked it up and poured some into her goblet, waiting to hear of his escapades or if something had happened around school.
Meh. Triwiz Tourni? Maya almost rolled her eyes, sighed and cursed it. But she didn't. She
disliked that... '
event' and hoped she'd never have to see or hear of it for aslong as she worked in this school.
Second task? What happened in that, again?
"I cannot recall what happened in the second task... I don't think I was even there at the third and final." Dangerous indeed.
"Yes, it was." Kind of pursing her lips at the thought, she pursed her lips, but took a refreshing sip of the juice. And she'd better not speak of it more, lest Professor Zookara be all '
ooooh, Maya, stop ittt. Hehe.
The ball?
"Yes, that was quite enjoying. It was rather a nice change to see everyone out of their uniforms and in something more...casual." Fruit hat was the win.
"The food was quite exellent aswell." Oh the foood.
"Finally had my chance at the tortillas." And were there any here now??
"So, do you venture into deciphering what the stars might tell you, or do you strictly study them from a non-divining angle?" Maybe he could tell her what crazyness would come to them next term, so she could be more prepared.
Oh! Tortillas in sight!
