Devon thought about what she said for a moment, actually surprised that he was able to do so without zoning out. He had yet to perfect the art of listening and actually understanding other people's problems..being able to relate was another matter entirely. "Well, if nothing else, it's something for you to work on. Take my point of view on it, you can't please everyone all of the time." He was only partially joking, but he did crack a grin.

"It's definitely a problem I have" Reese laughed. She knew she needed to stop worrying about other people's dreams and follow her own. She looked at Devon, before taking a goblet of pumpkin juice. "You know, I should be completely full from this, but I know once it is time for dinner, I will continue to eat. I love Quidditch but it sure does drain me of energy!"

"Know what you mean, and food equals energy..which I know I constantly have to replace." He chuckled, finishing off the last strip of bacon - realizing he'd already eaten the eggs without even consciously noticing.
"But there's nothing wrong with a girl that's not afraid to eat. As long as you aren't one of those that is picky as all nine levels of hell, we'll get along just fine." Lifting his goblet, he gave an imaginary toast to something that seemed to be working..a possible connection. Those, with him, were few and far between, especially with those of the female variety.

Reese laughed, tipping her head back slightly. "I'm definitely not picky, the only thing I refuse to eat are Cockroach Clusters..." Reese admitted, "But that was only after I ate about 2 dozen of them for a dare!"

Clearing his throat to prevent the bacon he'd just swallowed from coming straight back up, Devon looked over at her with an expression bordering on incredulous. "You actually ate those..excuses for candy. Don't know whether I can say I'm impressed or a little queasy."
Reflecting on that latter comment, he realized he was a little queasy. Eating fast when still hot from a workout was never really a good idea.

"A horrible idea...I wouldn't recommend it!" Reese grinned, she had on that occasion lived in the bathroom for the next day, but she wasn't going to admit her vomit retribution. She noticed that Devon's expression had changed, "You ok?" She asked concerned.

"Warning duly noted." Tapping the side of his head, Devon filed that away to memory - not that he really needed to. Passing the empty plate and goblet to elves that were more than obliging to take both away, he sank back against the counter behind him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Forgot it's actually possible to eat too fast after getting hot." Trying to assay her concern, he gave a smile - even if it was a bit forced. "But don't worry, I don't expect any of it to make a reappearance."

"Hm, yes well, that tends to happen." Reese said, "If you want, we could run up to the Hospital Wing, I'm sure Madam Pomfrey has a tonic for that." Reese said genuinely concerned. She had learned to pace herself eating, but knew what it felt like to eat too much.

"Really, I'll be fine. Just need to give it all time to settle before I move again." Sinking down, he sat down on the floor and put his head back, smiling a bit dryly at the obvious concern. It was something he really didn't know how to react to, much less what to make of it.
"Though I appreciate the thought-" Before he could finish, one of the watching elves had pressed a goblet of clear, slightly bubbly and fizzy liquid into his hand, and one whiff confirmed his thought. "Oh, and ginger ale will help."

"A classic remedy" Reese smiled, she hoisted herself onto a shelf and began swinging her legs absentmindedly.

"Mum just about raised me on this stuff, since I think I used to binge on whatever sweets we had laying around the kitchen." Taking a few swallows of the bubbling drink, Devon watched the myriad of patterns in the liquid for a long moment, apparently transfixed. He was easily fascinated - and distracted, as that proved.
Coming out of the apparent trance a moment later, he gave a crooked grin. "Don't mind me, I tend to, ah..space out very easy."

Reese smiled, "The world can be distracting." She said simply.

"Finally, someone that actually understands that!" Looking as if just offered a million galleons, Devon glanced over and regarded Reese, his smile revealing his dimples - the ones that rarely ever showed, to boot. "Oh yes, I think we're going to get along fine.."

Reese grinned, she felt so comfortable around Devon. "I'm glad" Reese was seeing new side to Devon she normally didn't see. Despite being in the same house and on the Quidditch team, she realized she has never had a proper conversation with Devon, until now of course. And she found herself really enjoying his company.

"'Course, there's gotta be House loyalty. We have to stick together, us Huffs, since everyone else in this school thinks we're duffers." Devon was well aware of their reputation as the lowest of Hogwarts' low, ending up in the House that took everyone that the other three Houses didn't want. In his opinion, though, Slytherin should have gained the reputation the yellow and black had.
