There had been a few to her parents, but mostly Luna had been here as a comfort rather than a helper. "She's taken some letters to my parents for me, but I haven't written much." Maybe I should be writing home more... Oh but, she does bring me lots of notes from them though, which are nice to read when we have breakfast." She realized she may have just said something to make Cora feel sad, but she wasn't sure. Does her mom have a way of talking to her while she's at school? she wondered. She'd inadvertently brought it up, so she thought she might as well ask.

"Do you get to talk to your mom much while you're here?" She petted Luna while she thought about her next question: Why were you so sad in Charms? She held her tongue a bit longer though, to give her a chance to talk about her mom first if she wanted. She must be a little homesick if she hasn't heard from her...
Cora smiled as Eliza talked about Luna and her parents. Obviously she wished her family was like that, but Cora was over it. She was used to the way things were, and to be honest, she did love her mom.

"Oh, my mom NEVER sends mail through owl post. SO I don't talk to her very often. Which is fine, since I still see her on breaks and things." Cora didn't add that she was always a bit concerned that her mom would change her mind while Cora was at home. Which reminded her of last time. "My mom does find ways to contact me. Last time when I had to leave Hogwarts she talked to me through the fire. THE FIRE." Cora's raised voice was not because of the idea of fire talking, which seemed actually commonplace to Cora despite the fact that it probably didn't happen TOO often. Her raised voice was in her shock that her mom had actually done that.

"Usually she'll just send a patronus or something." Cora shrugged. Suddenly, Cora got the impression that Eliza wanted to ask her something. What could it be? Cora furrowed her brows slightly. Whatever it was Eliza could say it. Cora wouldn't get too uncomfortable. Well, that depended. But still. Cora debated asking what was wrong, and paused for a bit, before asking expectantly, "What?" Cora still had a slight smile, after all she was in a good mood.
