SPOILER!!: Emily

It was her turn to chuckle at his comment regarding elaboration. When did she ever? ... "No, that hasn't changed, but for you I suppose I could make an exception, if I'm feeling generous," she considered. After all, there was no time like the present for... change, and things of that nature. Though in truth, there'd been a fair bit of that already.

"I'm pleased to hear it," and honestly she was. Though the owl she received hadn't contained much of an explanation, she didn't need to know these things. All she needed to know was that he was okay. Of course, it was still difficult to imagine Sabel with children, just as difficult as it was to imagine herself with an almost teenager. "I don't doubt that for a second, and I'm sure she's as beautiful and bright as ever."

With her arms draped over the arm rests, Emily continued to smile and focus her gaze on Sabel, it never ceased to amaze her how easily they could pick up where they left off as if time hadn't been as imposing a factor as it had been. Still, the gap between the Sabel in her memories and the one seated before her could not be mistaken to be the same.

She could tell he was fishing, it wasn't so unusual from him and considering it was such a nice day she could make allowances for this opening up and elaborating thing. "Lots of news actually," she informed, her brows raised for emphasis. "Would you believe I've softened over the years? I have healthy relationships with humans now." And yes, she'd used the word relationship. "I've been seeing someone for close to three years, and I've extended my family." Saying the words I adopted a son were still a challenge in normal conversation, something she was slowly getting better at. But for the time being she could take baby steps and lead into it.

Generous. That made him chuckle. The years then, had indeed been kind and long.

The Emily he remembered was a bit more of a cold shoulder, but there had always been warmth in her. It was nice to see it finally coming to blossom, even if that meant he would be the receiver of her smiles and long stares. He really didn't mind, it was simply nice to see her smile.

He reddened a little at the compliment, nodding his head at the same time. It might be boasting, but he would be the first to say that his children, his family, was gorgeous. It was merely strange getting used to talking about his own children with people he had not so long ago been a child with himself. "Maybe I'll bring her around the office." A bring-your-child-to-work day type of deal. Did the wizarding world have that, or was that a fluke of his muggle past?

The curiosity was quickly discarded for another as his ears and his eyebrows picked at up the mention of her holding soft relationships. At first, he thought she might be pulling his leg and leading him down some unexpected pathway. The real truth, while carefully veiled, was heartwarming. "That's wonderful, Emily. I'm so happy for you. Though, I want to meet this bloke, you hear?"

Make sure he wasn't some shifty-eyed bat. Emily had a good sense about people, but it went without saying that she was almost like a sister to him, and he felt responsible for looking out for her.

The second point of her softer heart, he didn't touch right away. Instead, he tried to puzzle it out, rubbing a finger along the side of his jaw as he thought. Extended her family? Did that mean she was engaged too? No, he didn't see a ring anywhere and she would have said fiance, not boyfriend. Emily was secretive, but she was also very correct when she spoke. Maybe a dog or a cat or a pet addition? Some people referred to pets as family, and he wouldn't judge. His dogs were very much a living and breathing part of his.

His finger stopped on mid-rub, and he eyed the woman across from him. Surely she didn't mean she had a kid. As wonderful as the idea was, and as good of a mother as he knew she would make, he just couldn't see Emily Browne with a baby, balancing her work with changing diapers.

He dropped his hand and leaned forward slightly. "Emily, you can't just leave it hanging at that." She could see, couldn't she, all the questions knocking about in his head? All the ones he was refraining from bursting out?
