...

He got her approval!

He didn't realise he'd been holding his breath, but when she smiled (he didn't note that it was forced) and uttered those words, and THEN even asked questions to emphasise she really approved; he grinned like a little kid and breathed heavily for a short while.

"Thanks - I mean," he flushed sheepishly, "your approval means a lot. More than anyone else's." And he wasn't even going to analyse why that was so. Instead, he hurried to answer her questions.

"She's kind, really kind," he said excitedly, "and she's clever. Her sense of humour is great." He paused briefly, and his excitement was slightly overshadowed. 'She's self confident.' he wanted to say, but she wasn't. They were working on that, though. Yeah. Soon, he'd be able to tell that as well. So instwad, he said: "And she's thoughtful. She works as a Quidditch Division Manager at the Ministry." He eyed her then and waited to see if she had more questions.

It was easy to relax when Culloden's whole body language changed and he suddenly looked very smiley and relieved and happy with all that had just happened. Sophie wasn't sure either why her opinion mattered so much to him, but she didn't dwell on it - she just smiled along with him, the grin turning genuine now, and she watched him speak of his significant other with interest.

"Huh. Kind, clever, thoughtful... sense of humor... Quidditch... sounds like she's the complete package, hm?" Her eyebrows were raised again, this time suggestive and only a little bit teasing. "You really like her, don't you? ... Have you guys been owling a lot since the term started? How are you ever surviving this separation?"

Back to full-blown lighthearted banter. She couldn't stay away from it.
