"Thanks," she said, hoping her face now didn't feel too warm against his hair. "It's not like I've done anything to it though - it's just kinda grown quite a bit." She gave a small laugh at what she'd said, though at the same time thought it might be entirely inappropriate.

She left Elan in his thoughts about presumely his father's actions and the line of how much muggles might suspect. She was relieved then to see him pick up a roll, and though he didn't appear to be eating it hungrily, it perhaps showed he was feeling better. She smiled, and reached out for her fork. Maybe part of her was now feeling hungry again too, as Elan seemed to be feeling better. She stabbed a dumpling, and nibbled at is slowly.
As she spoke and gave what might have been a little nervous laugh, he took the time to look at her. Then, after he'd made a determination he spoke. "It doesn't matter whether you do anything with it or not. It's pretty. You're pretty." With that, he laid his head back on her shoulder.

He chewed on the roll a bit and then looked around for something warm to drink. Finding a pot of chicory coffee, he poured himself a cup and took a drink. It was warm and soothing, much like spending time with Nia.

He placed his hand on hers and looking at her said. "Thank you, Nia. You've helped me center myself better..and so hopefully, I can focus on different things for a little while."
