Zeke was only too happy to comply, so when she started walking, he followed in tow, his arm not leaving her shoulders until they were where they needed to be. The Slytherin table. It didn't come as a surprise to him, it was the only place that they'd sat at together where eating was concerned, in fact, with all the times he moved about, he seldom ate at the Gryffindor table. Whoops? He would never regret visiting friends though, it was worth it. "Mmm... it's what matters to my stomach right now," he clarified with a solemn nod. There were other things that could trump his hunger, but right now they were only echoes in his mind.

Did she LOOK like a gazelle? Was this a trick question?

"No," he stated VERY clearly. No she did NOT. That was the right answer, yes?

And right right right right right... he DID know her so well. "Of course, I knew that," he covered.

He smirked a little when she teased about liking being a snake for reasons such as taking down lions. It was quite SOMETHING to imagine.

"What are you in a mood for?" he asked as he stopped, his arm dropping from her shoulder and pulling away as he slid himself onto the bench at the table. FOOD! Of course, she was welcome to serve herself, and in fact, that was probably for the best as he was now busy constructing his STACK. Careful layers of pancakes with lashings of butter AND syrup in between EACH layer.

Indeed, dinner had happened LONG ago... that being said, he'd had numerous snacks since. It was actually a shame that his stash of cauldron cakes were no more. He needed to stock up again. "Mmmm," he murmured, concurring with her statement. Food needed to get in his belly, and NOW. "I think we need another meal between classes, or have midnight snacks delivered to our dorms."

Thankfully his pancake stack was nearing completion.

He managed to tear his eyes away from his masterpiece at the mention of coffee. "You drink coffee?" Since when was that a thing? He hadn't developed much of a liking for it yet, his needed lots of sugar and chocolate or cinnamon sprinkles when he endured one - and usually this was because there was nothing else accessible. He had learned one thing though, that British coffee really wasn't that bad at all, the stuff they had in Prague was far too strong and gritty for his liking.

With food on both their plates, Zeke took a SHORT moment to admire his work before stabbing his fork through the top and slicing off a sliver of the soft fluffy pancakes. He wasn't quite sure what Hady meant by her comment, but she wasn't wrong. It WOULD be VERY thankful. He nodded, chewing the food and moving it about his mouth before swallowing.

YUM.

"Breakfast foods are my favourite type of foods next to cake." Did she know? If not, she did now.

The stairs, that WAS a good reason why food should be room service instead of a HELP YOURSELF.. though he wouldn't object to both by any means. "Do you reckon we could ask the house elves?" They seemed pretty eager to please, and frankly he didn't care if he was the only one in the castle with room service, it would totally be worth it. This was very quickly making its way onto his to-do list for the day.

Taking another bite of his stack, he watched as Hady buttered her toast. It seemed weird, people their age drinking coffee, at least, HE thought it was weird. Then again, Hady quickly redeemed herself with the whole sugar aspect, sounded more normal that way. "Oooohhhh," he mused after swallowing. "That sounds a lot better, I never really got the whole coffee thing, but my mum drinks HEAPS of it." Legit, she was like a bottomless pit where the black watery substance was concerned. Gross. "A lot of people in law enforcement drink it too, I remember delivering some when I got to visit there in the summers." And what a crazy time that was. He'd have thought it would be much the same where he was, but the atmosphere at his mums work was far less social and far more... well... something OTHER.

He cut another corner off his stack.

A small smile lifted the corners of his mouth as he loaded his fork and tried to soak up more syrup from the plate. He knew she knew about cake, Merlin, he wouldn't have been surprised if the whole school knew about his fondness for cake... but then there was breakfast, and of course she was right, chocolate! "Yep," he agreed before shoving the fork in his mouth, only to end up speaking through his food.... whoops. "I--I'll neeevaaahhh pa-pass it up." Nope. Never say no to anything cakey or chocolatey.

That really was the worst case scenario, and he couldn't imagine them saying no. They really did live to serve, it made them SO happy... who was he to deny them that happiness of servitude? Hhhhmmm? Zeke nodded, content to give it a go.

He continued eating - with his mouth closed this time - as Hady explained her fondness for the iced coffee thing. It was perhaps most amusing that she lived off it for most of the summer, practically. "That's actually pretty funny, kinda, but I might have to give it a try if you think it's so good." Again, what was the worst that could happen? Unless there was poison involved he couldn't see an outcome he would be displeased with. And then there was his holiday stuff. "Yeah, it was pretty neat, I got a tour and met some cool people." Not many of them that could speak English, which was a shame, and actually pretty annoying, but at least he'd had Elijah. "They even used me for an abduction exercise thing. A team of guys kidnapped me, and then the other team of guys rescued me... it was actually really intense." He could have died, only not, because then THEY would have died for reals. In fact, it almost looked like one of them DID die during the exercise... probably just broke some bones or something. Needless to say, he enjoyed that part of his holidays.

As with most things, Hady was right. Not many would pass up cake, so it was no surprise that he wouldn't either. "True," he grinned, having successfully polished off his breakfast. Was she going to finish her food?

If Hady liked it, and it had sweet things in it, he didn't see why HE wouldn't like it. It was casually added to his list of things to-do which he kept locked away in his memory -- hopefully this would be one he would actually remember. And now THAT was interesting, there was a SPELL for it? Interesting.

"Is it like a charm? Or is it transfiguration?" He never really could understand the difference, even after Quigley explained it to him so well the previous year, all he knew was that Transfiguration had a weird thing with food, it was a Gampy.. or Gawmpy or SOMETHING rule/law thing. "You could always ask a Professor? Or maybe even Mr. Kitridge would know?" Librarians had to know everything right? Or at least know where they could go to get the answer they were looking for? It seemed like a thing to him.

Zeke nodded, "It was, once I got over the weirdness of being there and all." It was still an adjustment, but one he was growing to like. He was actually really looking forward to the Christmas break already.

Though he was finished, he had expected Hady to want to stay and finish off her eggs... apparently not. "Yep, sure," he nodded, rising from his seat and slinging his bag over his shoulder. "Don't want to be late anyway..." classes would start without them, and he didn't much fancy losing points or getting a detention for something as lame as being late.
