He was shocked that Nia had grown so much in what had seemed such a short time (but how short had it been really?).
It would definitely be nice to hear how yer mum is getting on. I had a bit of a crush on her. Oh. And I work in a different department now. I'd left for a while, but upon my return, the ministry thought my talents would be more useful elsewhere. How are you doing? Seems quite well, I would say. Giving out autographs with handsome young men and all.
Nia probably should have been concerned about someone other than her Dad carrying around a picture of her mother in her wallet, but she was still preoccupied with the thought that she looked like Alina. Did that make her look old...or Alina particularly young? The latter right? Her mum did look good...so, yep, she'd go with that one.
"Oh, they're at the same place-" she started, with the plan of suggesting he should pop round sometime...but then the next bit? That was unnecessary information! A crush? On her mother? Ew! "Right," she finally responded to his point about the ministry. "I'm doing good, thanks," she said, still slightly unnerved by his confession. "Though the autographs are all part of the job..." handsome young men or not. She already had herself a handsome man, thanks.
