| | |  King's Cross Station
 Clean and sleek, King's Cross Station is one of the main train stations that serves both Muggles and wizardkind. The interior of the London station is exactly what you would expect. Within the Western Concourse are a variety of shops and restaurants (various clothing chains and coffee shops, a ready-made sandwich place, and a small market), so there is no need to leave the station without grabbing any last-minute necessities or a bite to eat. Just make you are using Muggle money when purchasing items, and definitely do not whip your wand out.
Magically concealed between Platforms 9 and 10, Platform 9¾ is famously known for housing the Hogwarts Express and taking students to and from school in September and June. As you walk buy, the occasional Muggle will turn their head but will think nothing of it. If you're departing for school, walk through the barrier, say goodbye to your family, and board the train -- it leaves at 11 AM sharp! If you're arriving from school, wait your turn to leave the platform so that the Muggles don't get too suspicious of there being an influx of people departing the station.
Platform 9¾ isn't the only wizarding platform available, however. In between Platforms 7 and 8 lies Platform 7½, which is used to transport wizards and witches to magical locations scattered throughout continental Europe. There are, of course, other platforms, though they are typically opened on an as-required-basis for one-off events that lure large masses of people into London.
OOC: In addition to the Muggle areas of King's Cross, character interactions on the wizarding train platforms can be posted here.

They were essentially locked in an apologetic loop and it was not one that Jericho had the ability to break seeing as the one who had had the wrong done to them was not himself but Noah. The cycle could be on temporary pause only, however, and the break in eye contact was a signal of this pause. The only true way for the cycle to break would be for Noah to find the power within himself to forgive himself. But all that was a much more intimate conversation for another time should Jericho be so lucky.
"He has an excellent heart and is trying to become an excellent person," he smiled fondly. "He has been through much and lost his way, hence how he and I became acquainted. His footing is returning and has done much self reflection and growth thus far." Which really was as detailed as he would go into regarding this particular topic. James, his James, also needed to forgive and accept himself and Jericho was confident that he would get there eventually. Looking down at Poppy asleep in his arms, and wishing he had brought the pram today, he chuckled at Noah's response and did so in such a way that his pearly white peeked out. Before he could ask whether or not Phoebe's Corner was accepting floral donations, Jericho had a bit of a green thumb himself, he found himself chuckling a bit more. "Do you sing when a tip is added to the jar? I have always been fond of such performances and jingles."
The joke had zipped right over his head though it matter not that he was unaware of a joke when the laugh was enchanting. Laughter was, truly, a gift.

Having not yet found the ability to forgive himself, Noah settled for pausing the cycle of apologies indefinitely, which was close enough. Pausing forever was basically stopping, although maybe stopping was more final.
He listened to the other James' story, remembering that Jericho was a life coach. He didn't hold it against people who had once 'lost their way'- whatever that meant- because he knew that it was often easier to stay on the right path (though that was hard too) than veer or wander away from it and come back. "I am glad to hear that your James is regaining his footing." He assumed that Jericho was helping with that as a life coach. What did a life coach do? He was quite curious, as he'd never had the money or inclination to pay for one. His school offered therapy, but not life coaching. He made a note to find out what that meant, just because he was inquisitive. When he had a question or an interest, he wouldn't stop until he was satisfied. Even if it was arguably a dumb or unimportant question.
Noah genuinely laughed for a while. "Not yet," He responded, looking amused. "Do you think I'd get more tips if I did? I do have perfect pitch, though I usually only sing for my sister or my girlfriend or my dog." Personally, he doubted that anyone would want that. Not because he was a bad singer, but because they were busy people. "I have a variety of things I COULD do. But I haven't thought to try any of them." |

Many paths branched from a simple pause, among those the indefinite stop. Such was the beauty of life. All philosophical theoretical for another time.
Many would say that Jericho's life path was truly a selfless one, but he would humbly accept the compliment while pointing out the rather obvious truth that this particular career allowed him to capitalize on his passion, love, and enthusiasm. While true that one could say this for any person and profession, there were more than a few things unique to being a life coach. Again, another little spark of joy to life in that this was akin to any professor as long as one was willing to look for it. Always bittersweet when his clients took flight on their own and left his nest. "I will pass along your sentiments next I see him," the former Hufflepuff promised as his chest rose and a deeper seated sense of peace fill himself. So pleasant to see that particular translucent sheen about him again.
Jericho paused to consider before speaking, not wishing to say anything to undermine the skill that was having perfect pitch - something he himself did not possess but found to be a handsome gift in others. Also, a girlfriend. How splendid for Noah. "I believe having the voice of a nightingale is not all that is important in such endeavors, but one's stage presence as well." Jericho was not one to be presumptuous, but Noah did have the earth tones to indicate a softer self and not one who actively sought the spotlight or that was intune enough with himself to reflect upon the ten steps. "Could be something to speak to your manager about and see if such behavior would be beneficial to the entirety of the coffee house," he added encouragingly. "Other things?"
