Truth be told, he was and still is condescending considering his upbringing and the environment that had shaped him to become who he was. But he could easily brush it off with the reason for wanting the best of the best for himself, and his family. "You got the best of both worlds. You know what it's like to live the life of a witch and a muggle." he said thoughtfully while rubbing his wife's arm. "Thank you for choosing me, though..." Was he one of the right Slytherins? Well, it was a given. However, he knew he was far from being the perfect one.

Mordred was lost, to be honest. He didn't know what went through Noah's mind. If he could read Catherine, almost instantly, it was the opposite for Noah. He's their firstborn son, and he expected himself to understand him completely. He really was lacking. The twins are exactly a year away from attending Hogwarts, and Mordred found himself wanting to slow down the time. But how? He has been on-call at work almost every day, given the unusual sightings of Creatures in the muggle world, and spending time with their twins was almost always impossible. In fact, he's been to work that morning, only to ask to call the rest of his afternoon off to be with his family. But for obvious reasons, he cannot afford to do small time-offs all the time. The dragonologist had a frown on his face until he felt the nudge on his rib, breaking his thoughts.

He then kept his mouth shut as soon as Sophie found her words. He knew it was going to be a shock, and he was expecting the reaction. There goes their romantic date. Mordred bit his lower lip as he eyed another family make their way into Diagon Alley, while his thoughts drifted back to the moment wherein he decided to have this talk with his wife.

Was the reason because he felt he was lacking? Perhaps it was more than that. Mordred shook his head and shifted in his seat. "Noah and Catherine have obviously made friends in school. When the time comes for them to attend Hogwarts, I am sure they will be bombarded with questions as to why they don't see them there anymore. I thought, perhaps, moving to a different city with a good population of wizarding folks around would be easier for them and Scarlett and Enzo. At least the twins will have a real excuse for their friends." Mordred tilted his head as he pressed on. "And I am worried for Scarlett, to be honest. Anytime soon, her magic will manifest. She exhibits the least control among our children, and I am genuinely concerned for her, and her peers." Not to mention, the Statute. "At least in a wizarding primary school, they could teach her how to control it early on. The same goes for Enzo." Mordred sighed, and again shook his head. "I am basing it on observations of course...and they are a completely different case from the twins. Noah and Catherine know how to act accordingly...but I don't know about Scar and Enzo." Mordred did not dare admit that they needed help from professionals regarding two of their youngest offsprings but thought it was necessary AND important for EVERYONE'S sanity. "But of course, like in any big decisions concerning the family, I need your opinion on this matter."

Sophie gave him a half smile. "I know, and I love it. But try telling that to blood purists." She shook her head, but then her smile widened to a full one when she thought how lucky she was to have married a pureblood Slytherin who didn't think like the others. Not lucky because of his blood purity, of course, but because she got to marry HIM despite blood status and whatever it was some people might think. She couldn't help but chuckle at his other remark. "You're welcome!" She grinned before giving him a quick kiss. "Thank you for choosing me. You could've chosen... you know... someone else." AND she didn't even mean just Chloe ~~*spits on floor*~~. Mhm, and she meant it BECAUSE she knew at one point he was quite the popular guy at Hogwarts. She KNEW probably because of how much she spoke about him in a way everybody started seeing just how wonderful he was. She should learn from that, really. But now he was hers for good so it was okay and people could want him all they wanted, it didn't matter anymore anyway, hehehehehehe.

That was right, no overthinking ~~much~~ for you, mister!

Sophie couldn't help but chuckle again at his logic. So adorable and such a pureblood way of thinking. She smiled warmly and stroked his hair as he spoke because adorable husband was adorable. Look at him being an adorable, clueless pureblood wizard. She grinned, amused, and continued to listen to his argument. "I think they would be fine with their friends, love. That doesn't mean I'm essentially against moving." So there was no need for him to think of more reasons for now. At his thoughts about Scarlett, Sophie had to bite her lower lip. It was probably because he spent so much time working that he wasn't fully aware of their daughter's abilities yet, poor hubby. Sophie wondered if she should tell him he wasn't exactly right on that point, but maybe that would make him feel even worse as a dad and she most definitely did not want that. She had to say something, though. "Actually... she's the one with the most magical control out of all our kids, love." There, it was out. Oh dear. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze and gave him an apologetic look. DON'T FEEL BAD, PLEASE, HANDSOME HUSBAND! Sophie braced herself anyway.

But okay, he wanted her input and opinion. "Um..." She started, looking back to the fountain to ponder things a bit. That was a lot to take in all of a sudden, he'd have to bear with her. How to tell him she didn't think those reasons were really detrimental - and even if they were, they could always sort things out where they were -, but she wasn't totally against the idea of moving. It was just that she didn't think those were... 'good enough' reasons. "Is this what you want?" She asked, turning again to look into his eyes. That would be a much more plausible reason in her mind and she'd be more than happy to consider things from that perspective.

A lot more than to think it was because their children needed professional help(???????)!?
