I prefer not to use my given name." There. Hopefully that wouldn't require him to provide further explanation.
Hmm...it seemed there was an abundance of parental units in favor of home schooling. "What was it that made him decide to allow you a formal education then", he asked curiously. He found this home schooling thing more interesting every time he heard of it. Of course, this was only the second time so that wasn't saying much.
Hollian? "I'm afraid I haven't heard of it. I'm originally from America and I happen to be geographically ignorant, I'm afraid." He gave the boy a polite nod when he said he'd go jogging with him. Another jogging partner! He started stretching out his legs, starting with a general calf stretch.
Simon looked at Parke. "Well Mr. Ives." Simon smiled. "I have no idea why my father changed his mind, all I know is that my Uncle and my father talked about something then he changed his mind and said that I was coming here, there was no explanation just me coming into England three years ago, I haven't even been back to Hollian, I spend my holidays in London." Simon sighed. "I am hoping to go back next year though." Simon wondered if the place will have changed much.
Simon wondered where they were going to jog too but he decided not to ask, he just started to do his warm up and wait to see where they were heading. "Well Hollian is a small island, I'll show you were it is on a map someday." Simon promised.
