"Change is inevitable. I could stay with you and change completely. But some things are set for life. What I value, who I value, and who I am at my core... those won't change." Mo banished some dust and broken quill bits at the bottom of his bag before moving on to the pockets. "We'll owl. I have to go. I want to... be part of the world. Get my pictures published, find out if I'm good enough for professional Quidditch, learn how to cook souffle or something." He would owl.

Sophie nestled her head against Mo's shoulder once more as he spoke, sighing softly in resignation to his words while watching him sort through his things. Mo didn't seem like the type to get caught up in worldly things and lose all of his good qualities, but... Soph couldn't help but expect the worse. That way, at least, if he did make any changes for the worse, it wouldn't seem as horrible in comparison to the many things that could change about him in a very, very bad way.

It was a silly sort of defense mechanism, but it made perfect sense to her.

"And you'll do all those things. Probably with great success, 'cause you're Marcus Orion Branxton, but even if y'don't succeed at everything... you'll still always be the star of my heart." It sounded thoroughly heartfelt and cheesy, but she ruined a little of the sincerity by grinning big and nudging into him a little. "That reminds me, though. I have a present for you. And Cat, too. S'the same thing for both of you, but don't be put off by that - it's kind of fabulous." She patted her own rucksack and wiggled her eyebrows excitedly. Was HE excited? HE SHOULD BE. "S'my sending-you-off-into-the-real-world present. A graduation gift of sorts. D'you want to see it now, or should we wait till Cat's here, too?" Why was she not with her boyfriend right now anyway, hm?
