Gevrik was the one man who could spot a liar.

"So you are from Canada as well? How fascinating." He nodded, making eye contact with Isabelle for a moment. "Issues...that would keep an aunt from seeing her nieces and nephews? I am sure it is nothing you did, of course."

He had no family around but could have sensed her desire to change the subject even if he was not making eye contact. "My family is not in Britain, no." Gevrik winked to offset how sad that sounded. "I have many, many friends to keep me company here, however. Good friends."

"Especially when the leaves turn at this time of year," Isabelle smiled, turning her head to look at the giant trees that lined the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Several of them were dropping leaves of all sorts of rich colours. Very pretty. "I'm sure there are many other ways, eh? But you're welcome."

As well? That comment set Isabelle thinking on who else on the staff was from her home country. The fact she had yet to meet all of them, didn't help with that task. So she decided to ask. "Who else is from there? I must confess I don't know everyone yet." Hmm, no. It was nothing she did. But she bit her lip before responding to his words. "No. It's a rather sensitive matter to do with my brother-in-law's family. The children being young and magical is not exactly conducive to in-the-dark-about-magic muggles." And their grandparents were confused enough about not seeing the kids, to take them out the country and over to see her would seem even stranger.

"It's always good to have friends around you. Sometimes they can become like family." Isabelle smiled warmly, and noted the wink. He seemed to be trying to make light of his comment, so she wouldn't ask why or where. Mind you, she wished she had good friends around her - she'd been far too busy lately to make any.
