Landon let out a hollow laugh as Aster challenged how daring he was, “How daring I am?” Landon echoed Aster’s question with a smirk, his tone carrying a hint of amusement. “Well, it all depends on what’s at stake, doesn’t it? I’m not one to throw caution to the wind for the fun of it. But if there’s something worth my while, something that sparks my interest…” He trailed off, letting the implication hang in the air.
With a casual shrug, Landon continued, “Let’s just say I’m not afraid to push boundaries when there’s something to gain. I guess we’ll just have to see if you can keep up with me.” He met Aster’s gaze steadily, his own eyes twinkling with amusement and a touch of competitiveness. Landon flashed a cocky grin, subtly turning the tables on Aster by implying that he’s the one who needs to prove himself.
As Aster delved into his observations about the lack of ambition among their peers, Landon nodded in agreement, understanding the sentiment. “Couldn’t agree more,” he replied, his tone conveying a shared frustration with mediocrity. “Isn’t that the whole point of life, to excel? To achieve greatness?” he asked rhetorically, “I don’t understand how so little people strive for that.”
When Aster poses the question about why he came to Hogwarts, Landon’s smirk would widen slightly, a glint of mischief dancing in his eyes. “Well, Aster,” he replied, his tone casual yet tinged with a hint of challenge, “I came to Hogwarts to shake things up, push myself to the limit, and maybe stir up a little trouble along the way.” He met Aster’s gaze steadily, silently daring him to see if he’s up for the challenge.
