He'd always been more of the type to be out getting into trouble with Gabriel, exploring and the like, even when they'd been little. Which had made recent events even harder. At least she seemed amused by the conversation, he could distract himself by that.
At her comment about the werewolves, he grinned a little. "Sounds like a lot of the guys around here," he commented dryly. "But that seems like a noble cause. Similar to how I ended up here, really. Wanting to keep people from experiencing the darker side to life." And that was about as close as he was coming to opening up. he wasn't sure he could say much more about the subject anyway, without being transported back in his head. There seemed to be a bit of a hidden meaning to Fionn's words as well, which made him wonder how similar they might be. In some way. But her joking comment about the events on level four made another smile come to his face. "Interesting. We've had our department head transfigured into a magenta guinea pig, and then a departmental duel for amusement, that ended with us all receiving candy. That's the extent of our excitement." Made him wonder about the other departments, though. What might be occurring there. Fionn smiled and rolled her eyes at his comment. No, not fun at all. "Oh hardly. I went through that teenage angst and rebellious phase and ended up destroying a party once." But she didn't go on to tell him about how her werewolf boyfriend started turning during the party. Somethings were just meant to stay hidden. As much of a blessed childhood she had, she always wished it wasn't so.. they way it was.
She conjured a sugar packet with a snap of her fingers and began pouring it into her cup when he told her his reason for joining the ministry. She looked up and saw a glimmer of a shadow in his eye and she cleared her throat before taking another sip of her coffee. "Well, dating isn't really my thing anymore. Troublesome, tiring, and I don't want to break off another engagement." She bit her painted lip and thought of how it all ended. It was for the better, but it still hurt sometimes. "Dealing with creatures most of the time helps though. Dragons, Centaurs, Werewolves. It does put a damper on when I try to work with humans, but I'm fine with it." She was trying to be funny, but fell flat, she thought.
After he talked about the going ons in his department she let out a small melodic laugh. "Wow, sounds like a party." She joked, a small smile on her lips. She couldn't really tell why, but she enjoyed his company. |
