And yes. More than friends. Obviously. That was what the term girlfriend meant after all so there were no qualms with that statement. Unless he meant girl friend, with a space, and not girlfriend with no space. But that thought was quickly dismissed as Airey just trying not to focus on the real 'issue' at hand.

Oh, doing the opposite of what your parents want you to do? Well, Airey was quite the expert in that. Although not when it came to girls. Never with girls. Which was now an entirely different thought that had him distracted. Medea meeting his family - which hadn't happened yet for obvious reasons.

"Ooooooooh sweet solstice," he whispered, more to himself than in response to what Mr. Toussaint had just shared. Blue eyes refocusing on the young man he took a deep breath and finally spoke. "I'm no love expert," he began. In case THAT fact wasn't obvious. Thank Merlin they were alone right now in the Tower Patch because....just yeah. "So forgive me for looking at this through a scientist's lens, but is this irrational behavior based on anything factual or just pure emotion? I often found that when my parents disapproved of something I did growing up, it was more them clinging to their slightly dated attitudes and opinions because it helps them feel safe in an evolving world." He paused to observe Mr. Toussaint's appearance for a moment. "From an entirely outsider's perspective, you appear to be happy, healthy, and perhaps even a bit more enthusiastic than previous terms." All good things, obviously.

There was another theory rolling around inside his brain, but he would propose that one after receiving some more information.

For a moment there Michael thought that the Professor was not going to respond to what he had just told the man. He was starting to feel even more uncomfortable with this conversation. He was just thinking about telling Airey not to worry about it when he finally spoke.

And to be honest, Michael had absolutely no idea what the Professor was asking. He didn't want to appear stupid either by asking him to repeat the question. He rocked back on his heels and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "My dad wants me to do good at school and you know have a good career and all that, so he sees Zahra as a distraction." He paused for a moment and dropped his hand by his side. "Mum....well she...had me when she was only seventeen and while I don't think she regrets it." That's what she kept telling him anyway. "I think she's worried that...you know..." He didn't have to elaborate, did he?

The compliment made Michael chuckle a little. "Well we did promise our parents that we would be good so that we could see each other over the summer."
