Nate watched her unhook the chain and hold it in her hand for a moment before reaching up and putting it around his own neck. He was about to protest, say he couldn’t accept such a gift, but realised the symbolism behind it. She would be offended if he refused it. “Thank you” He smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips. “I have nothing physical to give you.” He shook his head slightly, “But please know, if you ever need me, I’ll be there no matter what.”
He chuckled at her words, “Well we’ll have to chance that then won’t we?” he grinned, remembering having a similar conversation with one of the women from the minister’s office who hadn’t spent much time in the muggle world either. “A guided tour at the weekend perhaps?” he asked raising his eyebrows. Egypt didn’t really seem to know where she lived. “You need a hand getting there?” he asked. “Or…” he said, looking down at his feet. “You could always come back to mine.” He looked up at her and smiled sheepishly, “For coffee of course” he added for safe measure. “Or I have firewhiskey.” A boyish smirk now curling up the corners of his mouth.
