Maybe Cedric could meet James and give him lessons on how to treat someone you supposedly cared about. Cedric was practically a stranger to her and he was already treating her better than James had. How sad is that.
"Well that would explain why I didn't see you around much. I'm glad to see you're back though." She said giving him a friendly smile. Was he... blushing? Why would he do that? All she did was ask what he had been up to. Did he not like to talk about himself?
Cedric returned the smile, submissively. He was glad that he could be of comfort to Marie or to anyone.
"You're welcome," was all Cedric could say at the moment. Figure things on my own... That sounded really smart, independent, and all. Cedric for one had always figured things on his own. And figuring things on your own wasn't really the easiest thing.
He raked a hand through his tousled dark brown hair. He knew that at times like this, a good decent sense of humor was always a good thing. Uplifting in that sense.
"Why, thank you, I'm glad to see me back." Then there came along his lopsided grin.
