 Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN
Muggles and Magic. Heh. Naturally Tenacius can survive without magic because his folks made sure he can. It wasnt an excuse in his household that he cant wash his own dishes or make his own bed regardless of wands or house elves. It wasnt just about raising him not to be dependent on magic, it was about not raising him to be lazy.
But right what can he do to build and keep a good Muggle relationship? Trust? Well sure.... he nodded when Jonas and Hattie said them. But there was the matter of that pesky Statute of Secrecy, which quite frankly was more a bane than a boon as the centuries pass. But working with the Statute is in his blood-- the Astors have built an empire on both sides of the Secrecy divide. So if he could maybe borrow a page from the ol Astor playbook.... "Stories Professor. Muggles love good stories!" Nod nod mmhm he knows "I mean sure we may know of Muggles that would be very trustworthy in keeping secrets, but that Statute of Secrecy kinda doesnt care about that." which is why their clan generally despises it, among a list of other things "But yeah Muggles like stories, we can start to build relationships with stories that to us may be fact but to Muggles, its so fantastical they think its fiction. And Muggles always like the fantastical, it entertains them, distracts them, makes them feel good before going back to their Muggle routine. So we can still keep and grow these Muggle relationships but still keeping safe within the boundaries of the Statute."
