"Found anything interesting?" Tom asked as he took his place across from the strange Ravenclaw. He had just checked a few of his own books and had thought this the most promising seat, for multiple reasons.
The first thing Quirrell saw when he looked up was green. Great..... A Slytherin. The thought splashed itself across his face. "I, uh, uh, just st-started reading. Just g-general facts about the country right now." he replied. Geez, Q, get a grip! Hardly the commanding presence you want when faced with a Snake, he thought. "Though, it turns out that Baba Yaga originates here."
"Baba Yaga?" Tom leaned forward, fully aware of the Ravenclaw's obvious discomfort. He liked making other people uncomfortable. It usually resulted in them betraying important facts about themselves to him. Not to mention the control it gave him... "Do enlighten me. Is that for a class?" He hardly understood why he wasted his time on this less-than-inspiring student....except that it was fun. And who knew? Perhaps one day he could be useful. Tom liked to think he had a more open-mind toward personalities and their worth.
In this more relished topic of conversation, Quirrell's tongue relaxed enough to stop stuttering for now. "Baba Yaga is a famous legend in the Slavic region. I suspect it has some base in reality, though. Though this witch was rather... eccentric." A picture of Luna formed in his brain before he brushed it aside to continue. "She flew around on a pestle, lived in a hut on chicken legs, kidnapped children, yet helped people. Word is still out on whether she ate the children though. That may have been embellishment." Q flipped to the page with a picture of her and slid it over to the Snake.
"This is hardly for a class. I research different places I'd like to go." Quirrell stopped. Why was he answering this guy? That wouldn't get him to go away any faster.
((OOC: Quirrell would have me inform you that he is hardly a less-than-inspiring student. He works hard to keep the top of his class. Less-than-inspiring person, however... XD))
