She shrugged and continued eating. She put her fork down for a second to lean over and grab a chair from another table and call the waiters over to get her one of those boosters--and then she set Hudson into it, and smiled, grabbing some toys from her purse and placing them in front of the toddler. He was babbling away, mostly real words, and some sentences, but nothing major. And nothing Elliot hadn't heard from him,before, either.
She noticed Sophie wasn't really...talking. But Elliot didn't really blame her. She had been so rude to Sophie back in the day. Hmm. She hated apologizing. So she wouldn't. But the stupidity of youth...did it really need an apology? "He's about a year and a half now...he's very good with words already, so I have high hopes for him," she was all beamy, now, because they were on her favorite topic------HUDSON. "I mean, I may not be his birth mother, but I'm the one he asks for at night, before bed..it irks Max but-" she shrugged. What could you do?
She was getting over the whole...mistake thing(this didn't happen often!) and sipped her tea when it came. "Thanks, Soph," she said softly and just ate in a content fashion for a few more..quiet minutes. Sophie was STILL not chatting. But that was fine, Elliot thought it was hard to talk and eat at the same time, anyways. Not to mention very rude and gross. Her blue eyes blinked a lot as she thought of a certain time at Hogwarts she had never forgotten..."Hey, Sophie?" she asked quickly. She sipped some more tea--her lips had gone dry-- "Do you remember that time, at school, when you found me in the bathroom crying?" she asked. IT was either her third or fourth year...she doubted it was fifth since she had Max then, but who knew? She smiled at Sophie. "I never forgot that." And she hadn't. It had been a low point, a vulnerable point, and Sophie could have been so MEAN to her, and hadn't been. "I was a knucklehead--still am--but I don't forget things like that easily..." she offered her another genuine smile and just continued plowing into that salad as if it were real food. Sophie blinked and gulped imperceptibly when Elliot stabbed her lettuce.
She then realised she had held her breath and sloooowly started breathing again as the former Ravenclaw explained her what Max was doing now. "Oh. That sounds... nice." She didn't even KNOW if she thought private detective was nice, but it sounded like the right thing to say. Because Sophie's brain apparently had stopped or something and she couldn't think properly. WHYYYYY did this have to happen everytime she spoke to Elliot, ughughughughuuugghhh!! ......."And what do you work with?" Oh!! She had managed a question! Oh phew! She didn't need to hate herself anymore.
Small talk with Elliot. She had this. Sort of. Not really.
The former Hufflepuff gave the little toddler another small smile when Elliot told her his age and almost chuckled at her following comment. Almost. Sophie didn't quite know if the girl was joking or if she was being serious, besides she was still feeling very nervous about the whole situation, so she didn't chuckle. "He's... very cute." She'd say that. Was that helpful? Useful in any way? Yes? No? Oh, Merlin.
When Elliot sipped her tea, Sophie sipped her own drink too then looked around before finally taking a bite of her sandwich. She was chewing when the girl in front of her called her name and she almost chocked. But not really. Sophie shifted her gaze from her sandwich to... Elliot. "Hm?" 'Do you remember that time, at school, when you found me in the bathroom crying?'
Sophie slowly nodded as she kept her eyes on Elliot. She wondered where this was going......... was Elliot going to threaten her for having found her?? OhMerlinhelpheeeerrrrrr!!!! Oh but... she was smiling? Huh? What? Sophie blinked a couple of times and swallowed. That was an actual, genuine smile too! Sophie could tell. Wow... maybe Elliot had changed after all. Just a little bit.
The brunette didn't quite know what to say, but she gave Elliot a much, much warmer smile. It didn't even have any hint of awkwardness either. "And um... I also remember when you kind of helped me move on when Oakey and I broke up." Sophie told her, not feeling bad about it anymore. It had been YEARS, after all, and she was now with her first crush, the looooooooooove of her life. djfnsjknfdjk <333333333 Ahem. Hehe. The thought of being with Mordred actually made Sophie feel a lot more comfortable, even though she was still sitting there with Elliot. Welp, maybe this time it didn't have to be that horribly awkward after all! "Thanks for inviting me for lunch, by the way."
