Had she known his thoughts on being thankful it had been him and not his siblings who had lived through it, she would have remarked on how noble of a thought that was. But as nothing else was said, she wisely opted to let this topic go to bed as well, instead focusing on his life at the reserve.

A far more cheery subject she hoped. She stifled a giggle with her hand when he referred to the dragons as siblings, eyes sparkling because that truly sounded like it must have been so fun. "I would think so! Does your family's reserve have primarily one type of species of dragon in its inhabitants or has it always just been.. whoever is in need?" Who would want to trade that type of childhood? It sounded like Raj had had a very exciting and loving upbringing, at least from what she could tell by the way he spoke of it. "Are you close with your dad and your papa?"

Rajesh had to think about it for a moment. “Yeah…I would say so,” he finally answered. “For the most part anyway.” Granted he had had his darker moments in previous years when he had been dealing with things that had happened in his first term. And he had worried about his OWLs his fifth year and had some concerns about his NEWTs and future now, but he wasn’t really pessimistic. More just a happy medium that leaned towards positive.

“Kind of a melting pot of breeds. Mostly what’s in need.” Granted they were more limited and careful with the ones that tended to be overly aggressive, but there were a fair collection of different types. “Ethelinda…the one who gets the honor of being the first (and teasingly referred to as his older sister!)…is a Norwegian Ridgeback. But we’ve had Chinese Fireballs, and Welsh Greens, and Swedish Short Snouts.” Close to his dad and papa? “Yes I am.” He loved them very much and had been their shadows growing up. Even when the siblings came along, they made sure all of them knew they were just as loved and never replaced.
