"Your mother, sounds like an interesting woman. A very knowledgeable one. I am sure she is very proud of you."
It was a relief that she didn't end there and forced his mind to consider other things. Such as something that was difficult in the muggle world. A frown was the first expression back on his face and his hand finally moved again over the cover of the book. "I would appreciate that...though, I'm not too sure what would be considered difficult in the non-wizard world." Maybe quoting Lord of the Rings, given that Kellen gave him such strange looks all the time whenever he did quote it, but then, Kellen wasn't from the land of muggles. So there was really only one question left to ask. "What are you interested in learning about...the non-wizarding world?"
Geography? Maybe? His green eyes flicked to her when she asked where he was from. Would she know if he said? Probably. Or maybe not. "I'm from Canada. Kelowna more precisely, its in the Rocky Mountains, in British Columbia."
Danika noticed. His voice even changed. She didn't know what had cause the change, but she wasn't going to ask it either. It didn't concern her, otherwise he'd mentioned something, no?
The girl continued as if nothing had happened. Perhaps it would be appreciated? After all, if something causes you an unwanted feeling, then it was better to try not to mention it. At least she was sure it applied at the moment. Eventually one will have to face it.
The girl didn't smile, Danika was only a favourite in her father's eyes,
"That is vhat people say, yes" and in all honesty she was, Danika only happened to differ with her mother in a few subjects,
"As any other parent vould ve proud of their children, I suppose" it wasn't something that she'd heard her mother say, therefore it was very difficult to actually know.
Danika wondered for a moment if perhaps his parents were proud of him? After all, he was leading a completely different life than their own,
"Are yours?" she decided on asking, though she knew the answer would be a positive one for she thought well of the boy.
Then she nodded,
"I vould do my vest" at least she'd try, but practice made the difference.
"I do not knoe for sure, hoe much do you knoe avout technology?" she asked, looking around in case Zitnik made a surprise appearance. Yes, she was still slightly concerned about that.
"Or perhaps.." if she wanted to do one thing after leaving Durmstrang, then she'd better know as much as possible about this one,
"...transportation?" surely he could recommend a book.
The girl looked away from the Courtyard, eyes on the book as Sabel spoke,
"Canada?" she wasn't really asking,
"Three years ago I vent to Baffin Island, I velieve that also velongs to Canada, right?" she smiled, mostly at the memory of taking that trip with her brother. Great climbing times for sure.
