I'm going to introduce you to most of my friends and you'll start off with a bunch of people already," It was a payback to what he did back there at the coaster.

Putting a hand under her chin and beaming again at him, she started a new subject, "So I know you have muggle family but who's in the family? Any brothers and sisters?" Probably not since he was all alone and this quiet.
"Thank you. I appreciate that," Adam said, glad that there was someone who would be able to ease him into things. Adam noticed that something in Louisa had changed, causing her to relax a little bit. Perhaps it would be better for his sanity to not now start thinking too much into what people were doing. Just go with the flow, right? Adam placed his own elbows on the table and leaned forward, making him have the somewhat slouched posture that his mother always scolded him for whenever he was around her.

Did he have any siblings? "No, I'm an only child," Adam said with a little shrug of the shoulders. "My parents will never openly say this but I think I was seen as a mistake. At least that's what I've told myself as some kind of justification for why they have no interest in my life at all." Adam wasn't bitter towards his parents, after all not everyone in the world was suited for parenting and really there's no way of knowing that before hand, but Adam did flip an emotional switch in his mind that kept him from taking anything they did to heart. It was easier and perhaps a main reason why Adam didn't just crumble into a ball and fall apart completely.

"My parents are the founders of this muggle business that deals with Real Estate or something along those lines. They don't really talk to me about what they do, but then again they're not really ever around to talk to me so..." Adam trailed off, his voice sounding detached where most people in his situation would sound angry or bitter.

"What about you? Do you have any siblings?" Adam asked, thinking maybe Louisa's home life was more pleasant and favorable than his.
