His hand automatically reached into his jacket pocket for a coin, but he paused before tossing it in. What would he wish for? He already had a great job, a loving wife and beautiful baby daughter, and his relationship with his parents was better than it had been in many years.

He was still thinking when a howl of laughter startled him. His dark head whipped around in the direction of the noise, and he saw Ewan sitting nearby. "Hello, Mr. Jones," he greeted the boy with a small smile. "What's so funny?" His eyes landed on the book, and his smile widened. "Oh, Peter Pan. That was one of my favorite books when I was a child. What do you think of it so far?"
Looking up now, his face still contorted in an uncontrollable smile, he saw spotted Professor Marchand, his blue eyes looking down upon him.

“oh...hi professor! How are you today?”. Adapting his respectful tone now, he smiled back at his charms professor.

Looking down at the book now, he answered the Professor honestly.
“I uh... I haven’t finished it yet sir. Someone let me borrow it and today was just too nice a day to pass up the opportunity to read out here”, gesturing at the lush green grass that stretched on around him. “One of the characters in here, it reminded me of someone. The person who let me borrow the book actually. Ironic, huh”, His expression twisting back into his wide, monkey like smile.

“So, what bring you out here professor? If you don’t mind me asking? You’re more than welcome to join me”. Patting the ground next to him now. He honestly didn’t expect the charms professor to join him, having always suspected the older man preferred his own company, but, he thought it best to offer. After all, one must always “have courage and be kind”, whispering that last part under his breath.
