As for him... "I did, yeah." He even had to. It was his emergency. His face fell a little, but he tried to hide it. He was getting all sentimental on her, which made her throat tight with emotion at the thought of him really being proud of her and learning from her, so Sophie casually diffused the feeling of wanting to cry at his words by putting a hand under her chin and adding, "Yeah, it helps that I'm so charming and sweet and am so good at getting people to love me," with a big, cheesy grin on her face.
Joking around was always the best defense mechanism, wasn't it?
Sophie did notice his face falling, though, and while she didn't like to push him or make him open up about things that obviously plagued him... she was curious about this one. "Yeah?" she replied gently, carefully examining his saddened features before looking back out over the grounds, hesitant in pressing on, "Mind if I ask what happened?" Testing how lucky she really was and all.
