He was amazed by how quickly he'd forgotten this small town. He was late, and it stressed him out. It never did good to stress out around Aspen.

Finally, after touring the town for the millionth time, he just followed the stink and he found her with Egbert on a deserted street, about twenty metres ahead of him. Although he was angry at her for her location choice, he couldn't help but smile wryly as he slowed down not to scare her or look too enthusiastic.

"Awfully nice smell here," he commented as he approached, his smirk getting bigger. Somehow, he looked more Brazilian than ever, and his accent'd got heavier in the few months they didn't seen each other. His hands were also inside his heavy coat's pockets, probably grabbing his wand. He trusted her by now, but he had learnt some heavy lessons. He stopped one metre ahead of her and studied her face, ignoring the urge to check Egbert.

Aspen hadn't even noticed he was late. She'd been more concerned on him coming at all and less about his punctuality.

She couldn't help but smile. She couldn't exactly say he was disheveled upon arrival, but... he seemed a little worn already. Stressed maybe? Over this visit?

Amusing.

And smart,perhaps. Aspen also, of course, noted his hands. He was ready for her. Smart. Though, she didn't plan on hexing him today. But when did she ever plan to hex Joao? It just happened naturally, like breathing.

"It can hardly be both awful and nice," was all she said for a long time. Instead, she studied him right back. She hadn't changed much. Her hair was a little longer, but she had it tied back so he wouldn't see that. She probably was paler, since she hardly took to being outside during the day.

"Let me see your hands."
