And then he asked that question. She should have expected it but it still made her slightly uncomfortable and she stopped mid bounce and cleared her throat.
"Er...I have one child, his name is Michael and he's two years old." She beamed at Cedric when she spoke of her son. He was the best thing that ever happened to her. "That's him over there at the potions booth with his father" she said nodding her head towards Nicholai and waving back to her son. "But...uh...yeah...not married. Recently single actually" she added quietly.
Okay time to change the subject.
"So ever thought about being a cursebreaker then? It's a really cool job, you know and you get to travel all over the world." Yep distract him from the awkwardness of her personal life.
He had truly missed Kayla. Seeing her was just really one of the day he'd been looking forward. Well, it was just mainly because Kayla was the person he knew from his very first year so it was like he felt she was his big sister or something.
Ced noticed a hint of awkwardness from Kayla when he asked about her family. Clearing her throat--that is. He didn't know what was wrong and all but he genuinely wished that Kayla would definitely surpass all the hard challenges in life and it should not deter her from living happily.
He smiled as she talked about her son and said,
"Ooh! Your son is a one lucky little kid. Father? Cela's brother is here? I haven't meet your husband/boyfriend yet. I'll wager that I should pay a visit the Potions' booth."
Not married? Was that a joke?
Ced looked at Kayla curiously but did not bother to ask about the thing that made him wonder a little. Single. That just meant Kayla and her husband broke up... recently broke up. Aww.
He perked up as Kayla asked him concerning with the curse-breaking job; he knew what she was doing and distractions were always made of win.
"I like hearing that job and all. Well, it has to deal with Arithmancy, right?" He paused for a while then continued,
"Arithmancy is really one of my favourite and strongest subjects but I think I have a much stronger bond with Herbology.. So yeah, I planned to pursue a career in the field of Herbology and/or Horticuture."
But he was still interested what the curse-breaking job was all about so he started forming questions.
"How's it like being a curse-breaker? Aaaand don't ya think it's kinda.. sort of freakish to be always working with the goblins?" He merely whispered the last part of his question seeing that there were a goblin in the booth and wouldn't want to be told that he was prejudiced against their kind; honestly, he had no problem with their kind. It was just that... you know.. their looks.
