I sorta do, but things end up happenin' like father actually comin' home for the summer and takin' care of me on top of that. I mean, I knew it was happenin' since he took the job but it was still an odd concept seein' him.

[With a snort, he shakes his head.]

Least in a way we were lucky for some of the professors not giwin' us somethin' hard or waitin' until the last minute to giwe us work.

[His eyebrow quirks, then he laughs.]

A course it would be. I think the best thing to do is to take her robes back to your guys' cabin an' we can chase her down before we get off the train. Since uh... [he looks down for a moment.] I still hawe to do the same thing.

I know how you feel!! Mum being home this summer was so weird. I mean i though she only was home for a short break from the Space station. But nope, she tells me she being a teacher at school. But it's not bad, i am kinda glad she is going to be around more, i missed her a lot when she was out at work. So, yeah was it the same for you, was it good to have your father home?

[She moves herself so that is now lying across the seat, rather than sitting, trying her best not to get her feet all over Meenah's robes.]

I was so glad as well!! Most of it i just did in the last week anyway.

[But she is comfortable Eridaaaaaan and doesn't want to get up.]

I guess we should head back when we get closer to Hogwarts, i hope we can track her down, sometimes i have a hard time trying to find her when she does this. [She looks over at him.] Did your father buy you that shirt?

[wwhatevver]

It was... an experience. It's not that he was just there durin' the summer, but also Adrian goin' on wacation durin' it all made it ewen weirder than it was. I'm just glad it was a relatiwely nice summer, despite those minor occurrences that happened a few weeks prior.

[He watches her recline, removing his glasses for a moment to clean a smudge he spotted.]

I got most of it done at the start a summer, not expectin' to hawe to do it at the end of it, or more towards the end anyways.

[Well duhhh, he's not saying to do it nowwwww.]

With double the eyesight, we'll find her in no time. [He pauses, then looks at the shirt again, with a slight smile.] Yeah... he went and bought me a couple'a shirts since that's usually somethin' I do with Adrian. [There's a pause, and he reaches into the scarf on his lap.] Father also let me get somethin' else, somethin' better than just some shirts.

[bubblingover]

Yeah, they was a lot of change over the summer that you had to adjust too. In a way, i guess were still adjusting to it. [She doesn't really know how to talk about it yet, it still feel weird and she is still trying to get used to the fact that her family now includes now a brother and a father, so she tries and changes the subject.] Was that Adrian first holiday? The guy probably didn't know how to handle it. [She tries to chuckle and crosses her legs.]

That's quite organised of you to get it done so early, i am just lazy and wait until the last week cause then i can get myself back into study mode that way.

Thanks Eridan! I knew i could count on you. [Eridan you are such a cutie, you can't help but smile over how happy he is.] So the scarf is from your father then? It seems like it was important to you, do you have anything from your mother?

[wwhatevver]

Not only that, but with stuff happenin' ower the journals an' all. [He knows that feeling all too well, having two sisters and a mother, dang.] As far as I can tell, yeah, at least for the duration of the entire summer. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't know how to. He must hawe embraced that cruise as much as he could.

Mmm, but yeah. I like to just get it out of the way so that I can relax an' spend my summer the way I tried to plan on doin' it. [Oof, he knew that too well. He tried that the year before, and it didn't really work out too well. ] Ahh, I understand. [Right as she began talking about the scarf, he shook his head, trying to explain what the true nature of it was.]

Oh no! No no, not the scarf, there's somethin' inside the scarf! [Unwrapping the scarf, he pulls out his little napper, who's waking up from the sudden change of dark to light. Around Caligula's neck is a little purple collar with a bell on it, which makes a bit of a jingle when he shakes and shivers from waking up.] See? Father got me a new pet, his name's Caligula.

[He shifts Caligula into his arms, holding him sort of like an infant since he's half asleep and is trying to fight staying awake.] But uh, if you are still curious about any momentos I'we got from my mom, I'we got a ring that I'm always wearin', it's an Ampora family heirloom of sorts. Other than that, I actually do keep some of my important momentos in my bag an' back at home. I'll bring them out sometime an' show you, but now's probably a bad time.

[bubblingover]

Oh, yes they was that as well, that was seriously crazy what happened there. I suppose though we should put this summer behind us, though i doubt this year at Hogwarts is going to be any less drama, i guess we have to wait and see. [She shrugs her shoulders.] Probably just as bad as the rest of us at change!

[She stares at the scarf as Eridan releases the ferret under it.] Oh His so cuuuuuute!! [Next thing you know is that Feferi is riiight next to Eridan, leaning over, wanting to pet him but obviously she is not going to touch him until the owner allows her too.] He seriously is so aborableeeee!! Can i pat him??

[Even though she is distracted by Caligula, she is still listening to him.] That's pretty cool!! Always wondered what was the ring from since i never see you as the type to be wearing jewellery, you should me those mementos some time!!
