Too old?
Her expression flickered in response to that, the gasp, the mumbled apology and the blush and quite coolly she spoke.
"Except of course the conductor and the lady at the food trolley." She answered, clearly not impressed.
... but her expression did soften after a while.
"Are you alright?" The expression on the little boy's face, he almost looked in pain. She could almost forgive the rudeness if it were true.
Was that woman glaring at him? Why?! Because he had said they looked old?
Daichi rolled his eyes in his mind and wondered why it were always the woman who got offended whenever someone called them old. And judging by the tone in her voice she was offended.
"I-i didn't mean to o-offend anyone..." he stuttered, something he wished he hadn't done. But he couldn't help it. His gaze was fixed on the floor as his fingers fumbled with his shirt.
He looked up when the woman asked if he was alright.
"I'm fine" he said and unconciously rubbed his forehead while waving the other hand in the air, as though dismissing the question.
" It's just a stupid headache i've been having since last night" he sighed deeply. He couldn't wait to be at school and in bed.
Daichi looked from the woman to the man in the compartment and figured that he would find.out who they were if he introduced himself first.
" I'm Daichi by the way" he bowed , something he had learned in his family.
"Daichi Katharos and i'm a second year Slytherin"He had said the last part with pride in his voice that his eyes started to twinkle and he smiled broadly this time....before he groaned again.
