She couldn't have placed why it happened now, but it did, and she knew immediately she'd been doing something right with her comforting.

It was now too, that Nia sensed the embarrassment. Only a few small hints, but as a close friend it was enough to notice. She wondered why Elan felt that way - he had nothing to worry about with her afterall. She squeezed his hand once more.

It was as he nodded Nia had to try and hide a frown. Something had struck her as slightly strange about the whole thing, but for some reason she'd expected, well...a less definite response, she supposed. As he spoke, Nia felt a guilt inside - how had she not managed to understand quite so fully Elan's background? She knew his father was muggle, and about his life in Italy, but she had no idea it could get...so extreme.

She moistened her dry lips slowly with her tongue. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to comment on what her friend had said. Would it help or hinder the healing process? Their friendship? At the same time, she wanted to know more, to understnad herself. She felt some of Elan's pain, and Nia was the type of person that always wanted to find the root of a problem beofre solving it. Mainly in her classwork, but it could be applied to other areas too.

"It seems, well, so drastic," she said slowly after a moment's thought. "I mean, I guess I can see it from both perspectives...but still..." And she leaving that hanging there, hoping she'd not over stepped the mark.

As he got closer to her, he noticed she seemed to get a little more, well..he didn't know. She seemed a bit tense, but it didn't seem right to explain it that way. She appeared comfortable, but different.

As she squeezed his hand, he smiled a little stronger at her and slid his hand around her and squeezed her to say thank you for her care, and thank you for being his rock. He laid his head on her shoulder and sighed.

As she seemed to be processing his answer, he saw a look come across her face that combined confusion and sadness. She seemed to find it hard to accept that muggles might do this. "I wish I could tell you differently. I overheard conversations my father had with his friends who would be talking about odd occurrences and dad had such venom in his responses when one would suggest a supernatural cause. Dad would almost become violent with the men in the village who suggested anything remotely related to magic, so wantingto keep his magical family a secret."
