"You wouldn't like what I would have to do to that other person." He went to Durmstrang, after all.
He was almost tempted to take another peek down at the food stand. But he decided against it. Just seeing the food down there would make him even hungrier. "I'm sure I could break whatever protection is on it." It was the hunger talking. He gave her a smile at her question, and distracted himself by looking straight ahead at the shrinking scenery. "Yes, Mia. I can hold out." Although, he would have liked to see her reaction if he would have said no.
Oh..
Nikolai's face fell completely at the mention of how her grandparents were. He knew all too well about those types of pureblood families, and if they weren't part of her family, he would have tried to talk her out of visiting them. And it was her decision if she wanted to or not. "You.. don't have to go, you know?" Which sounded odd coming from his mouth after telling her she had to go to school. But it wasn't hard to tell it wasn't only nervousness she was feeling.
And it seemed she was really going to go. Wrapping his other arm around her, he gave her a squeeze and cuddled into her more. "Everything will be fine, Mia." He hoped.
Oh? This reminded her of when she had told him about Salander and he had gotten all macho and possessive. She wasn't into violence and she was pretty sure that Nik really wouldn't do anything but she had to admit that she did like to hear him talk like that.
"You gonna fight for your woman, Nik?" Mia couldn't imagine him doing anything like that, maybe because he was so gentle with her but then again he probably wasn't always like that.
Mia couldn't help but laugh.
"Goodness you must really be hungry." She was rather used to that. She had never known anyone to eat so much. Although she didn't really think that he would be able to get through the protection. He would probably get exhausted from the hunger.
She noticed the look on his face and she mentally kicked herself for being so tactless about it. Since he had told her about his being disowned, they never really talked about his family.
"I know I don't but...I need to. I never got to know my mum." She took in a shaky breath. It still made her sad to think of her mother.
"I'd like to see where she grew up and I want to hear stories about her." Her father had told her what kind of woman Josephine had been. Mia wanted to hear what kind of child she had been and if she took after her at all.
She gave him an appreciative smile.
"What could possibly go wrong?"
