SPOILER!!: Cosgrach <3

"A local then." Sabel didn't bother to try and diminish his grin. "Don't suppose you'd be up for giving a tour at some point? I never got to see much of Scotland when I was here."

Too busy. Too consumed in life, as it was. His grin, however, told well enough that he was only half serious, and no offense would be taken to a decline of the request.

And a Slytherin too? A wonder he wasn't yet having more issues with the man. But then, a few of his good friends were Slytherin's. The grin grew a little. "Gryffindor."

Was that what the eye was for? The man was watching him with a rather strange expression. One he couldn't quite place just yet. Perhaps his Gryffindoring hadn't been as diluted as he once thought.

"Sounds like a lovely family." And...he knew one? He taught one of Culloden's kids? It took some effort to keep the good natured smile in place, and he nodded. "I have. Nice kid."

All too much a reminder though, of exactly what type of position he was in. The kids of his colleges, the kids of his friends. Like Zeke. Possibly even his own one day. Depending on what forces tried to eat him up and spit him out, that was.

His gaze drifted back to the forest, and then to the Professor, a wariness in his eyes as he hesitated. He wasn't used to talking about his kids, saying much of anything about them. It was just safer that way. But, this man was genuine, and this was supposed to be a new place. Not a place for less caution, but perhaps a bit more trust.

He took a steadying breath, dismissing his sudden tension. "Emma's almost five. And Lucas is a year." His smile was half of what it had been before as he turned the rock in his hand slowly. And they're still both getting to know me....

Shaking his head, Sabel dismissed the reflective thoughts and returned his grin to Culloden, tossing him one of the rocks. "No time to learn, like the present. It's one of the 101's of Fatherhood."

Pushing himself to his feet, the grin and good nature was back.

Of course Cosgrach had no idea where or what Kamloops was, exactly, but he wouldn't let Sabel know that. The man might be a human, but he was an auror first and foremost. Cosgrach bet he was profiling everyone here. Old habits die hard and all. No, instead he just nodded and announced "I'm from here, Scotland," with a little bit of excessive pride. Ask about Cullodens - well, no don't ask about them, Cosgrach didn't want people to know their embarrassing past, but STILL. So, Sabel could kip a stone. Alright. And again, the man was proud to say "Slytherin." Could there honestly be any other house for him? The most noble of all... the best. "How about you?" he asked. He bet Sabel had been a Gryffindor, because only that over-brave lot 'sacrificed' themselves to become an auror. While Cosgrach admitted they were somewhat useful, the clever people stayed clear off it, and this meant something. At least Sabel ate his candy and didn't think they were poisonous. That'd have been very offensive, y'know. "I do," he said as he smiled again, 3 girls and a boy. Well, I think you'd know him - Bart Maroon? Sixth year?" Bart was taking DADA last time he - Wait, what? Sabel... had a family with proper children? One would think... Sabel was almost... normal. "How lovely!" the man exclaimed, "what're their names?" Who could have guessed that aurors could talk someone into marrying them? "How old are they? I've been told many times that they do grow up fast." Well, no, this was a lie. Cosgrach had successfully avoided any and all friends that had had children over all these years, so he wouldn't know just how fat they grew up. He'd observed it with the girls, but Helena would be his real proof. Well, then, Cosgrach squatted too, because it was only polite at this point. "No, I don't." It didn't look like a skill worthy to learn, to be honest. "A local then." Sabel didn't bother to try and diminish his grin. "Don't suppose you'd be up for giving a tour at some point?
