The woman appeared to have an inkling of what she meant, just from that; Carmelina noted her grin in visible relief, since it suggested that she couldn't be the only one to have felt like that in his presence.
"How did you guess?" She replied, pursing her lips to try and hold back yet more laughter. "But yes, I've applied for the Ancient Runes position," she confessed, her smile a little shy about that now she was no longer sure how much of a chance she really had. She was still glad to have been able to meet another member of staff in the process, but it would be rather a shame if she was not a future and only a potential colleague. "Though I didn't expect to have been left quite so disoriented by it!" Carmelina added, praying that the woman she was with would account her directional insanity down to that and not an innate uselessness (though it was, perhaps, a little closer to the latter than she would have liked).
She leaned in a fraction closer, lowering her tone in conspiracy, "Is he really like that with everyone?" She supposed it would bode better for her if he was indeed, like that all the time, for at least she would not have proven herself an exceptional nitwit.
