Vilkas wiped his hand off and reached over to shake. "Vilkas," he said. "Yeah, that's my major, have a little over a year left." Then maybe he could run off to see if there were other universities or opportunities to learn, or maybe he would end up just staying here to continue school and maybe get a job. "I think the professors are about tired of me being out there all the time, though," he added with a half smile.

"So why are you here?" Cat asked. The guy had asked about other universities, but didn't seem to know if they existed. Maybe he was a floater too, didn't know where he was going. Cat's mom had thought it was ridiculous to have any more schooling than he had, but Dad had talked her into it. Muggles were big on college, but wizards tended to get an apprenticeship and call it done.

"I'm not ready to be stuck with a job yet," Vilkas said. "Being in school still isn't complete freedom, but it's better than being stuck behind a desk filling out paperwork every day." Maybe he'd never be ready to have a real job, maybe he'd run off and live somewhere away from people where he wouldn't have to worry about money or responsibilities.

Cat wrinkled his nose. "My step-dad wants me to get into wizard-Muggle relations," he said. "I told him there are plenty of people with Muggle parents who get how things work. Sitting in a Ministry building somewhere would kill me." As much as he could appreciate curling up in front of the fireplace, he had too much energy for a desk job.

"Me, too," Vilkas said, raising his drink in cheers. "My parents are both muggles, they know approximately sh~ about what job options there are in the magical world." They had some vague idea that there were more or less the same options as in the muggle world, but they preferred to stay out of the business of magic when they had the choice.

"My blood relatives are all magical," Cat explained, "but my father died when I was ten and my step-family is mostly Muggles." There was his uncle and his cousin Mari, but the way all that mixed in was a story he didn't want to get into. "Dad—my stepdad," he explained, "wants to know everything about magic. Then he does something like try to look up Transfiguration online, and I've just got to laugh."

Vilkas shook his head. "Mine said they've had enough of the magical world, especially my dad." He could understand, a little, he supposed, but he preferred to pretend there wasn't anything hanging over the family. That way, his parents and sister could do the same and Christmas dinner was only slightly awkward. He leaned back in his chair, folding his hands across his stomach.

"That blows," Cat said. "Are they paying for Valfirdu?" They had to be, unless Vilkas was independently wealthy or something. Cat was lucky for the support he had. He still got money, just not nearly enough.

"They're helping," Vilkas said. "I've got a small scholarship, too, and I work in the summer." He was going to need to find a more permanent job, but it could be difficult. He'd gotten the scholarship under the assumption he would get more education and be able to hold a better job. "Maybe I should apply here, then I could get free sausage without sweet talking the cashier."

Cat grinned. He knew the likelihood that Vilkas had meant it as innuendo was slim to none, but he'd certainly meant it when he'd been teasing Giselle earlier. Cat didn't get a vibe off Vilkas that made him want to pursue, though the guy was definitely attractive. Still, it was too good to let go.
"Giselle's into free sausage too," Cat said, as though he was really just talking about pizza toppings. "Ask her about it sometime."

Vilkas' eyes flashed briefly before flickering toward the counter, then his lips curved. "Right," he said, though his mind was far from the conversation for a few moments. "You know, mate, I've seen you walking on campus. About every third person turns to look at you, I swear I saw a girl almost fall once." He liked people watching and Cat didn't exactly blend in, or he probably wouldn't have noticed.

Cat laughed at that. "Bítches like my swag," he teased. He knew he turned heads, and he meant to. Really, what was wrong with it? Absolutely nothing. He was young, hot, and living life to its fullest. "I have to fight them off me to get in my house." He gave a roll of the eyes to show that he was kidding. He could be a lot worse than he was.

Vilkas laughed, as well. "Well, if you ever get tired of them, send a couple my way," he said. Like any of the girls who went after Cat would be interested in him. His eyes flickered toward the counter again. He wasn't the obvious charmer like Cat was, but that didn't mean he hadn't managed to get a warm bed when he needed to.

"She's sweet," Cat said, following Vilkas's gaze. When she glanced at him, he glanced aside meaningfully, then arched his brows. "Totally a Muggle though, so be careful with the wand." Whether or not he'd ever gotten anywhere with her was beyond the point. She was a good girl, and though he teased her a little, nothing was going to happen now.

Vilkas nodded absently. He knew well enough about hiding a wand. Of course, she would probably require some kind of work. Why so many females needed wooing he'd never understand, especially when it was obvious they wanted something he would willingly give. "I hate living on campus," he said as he pulled his eyes away again. "Maybe next year I can finally get away."
