 Wow...so many people XD For everyone! You're going to make me cry XD *Snugs* ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
As soon as he sat down, things had gotten massively busy. There wasn't much time to respond to one of his friends or the other, given all the grand entrances everyone was making. He had to smile at them as he sat quietly beside Lexi. They really were a great bunch. A wonderful family. Just sitting there, listening to the bickering, listening to the laughter and good cheer; it was enough to remember the good times. It was the last good memory he needed to make this as painful as all else, but at the same time peaceful.
His eyes went to Kurumi, one arm reaching out to give the sweet Gryffindor a gentle hug in thanks for her congratulations. He would have spared Legend a retort for his loudness, Simon a smile for his undying graciousness, Joshua a playful jab for his strange greeting, and Lexi a reassuring smile, but Patroclus' mini speech had him frozen on the spot, just blinking.
It took him a moment to figure out how exactly to respond, or what exact emotions were stirred up from the Prefect's words, but a slow smile crept onto his expression. "You bestow too much flattery Patroclus."
Glancing about the little grouping that had gathered, he pursed his lips in thought. "What am I going to do in that 'big wide world'? Well, I think for starters, a group hug is in order." And yes, that meant everyone, and he spread his arms out for anyone who wanted to share the sentiment. "For our Lion family."
