Was that how it was for Lucie too, or would she be able to walk away from London someday?

She was happy to talk about her shop, though, and Braith's enthusiasm was awfully gratifying. "Not necessarily one of a kind pieces, although sometimes that's the case. Mostly just local designers, and I support their fashion lines, offer a place for them to showcase their off the rack work. But my brother just lives there. He doesn't help in the shop. He has a job at the Ministry." And he was a lovely brother, her favorite person in the world.

When Braith began talking about his job, Lucie wondered if her eyes started to cross. It wasn't dull, far from it, but it was a subject she couldn't contribute to at all. Ancient Egyptian magic and theories? Extracurriculars for children... in archaeology? Merlin, he was smart. "Hands on? What age do you work with?"

A rolling stone, hm? Braith tilted his head as he contemplated the moniker a moment, a faint, reminiscing smile eventually forming. "I suppose that's an accurate assessment. Though I'd say I need to put roots down at some point, maybe that's what I'm doing here.." He had been awfully fond of the UK and he didn't have any plans on leaving any time in the very near future. Though maybe Lucie had a point. He did have a habit of going wherever his work took him even if he had been here a little while.

Hmm.. He grew lost in thought a moment on this topic, snapping himself out of it as the woman expanded more on her line of work. "Sounds like you really enjoy it," he said, his smile growing a little more. He could appreciate both the fervor she conveyed and the entire idea behind her shop. He'd presume that local artists might have a harder time getting their wares in the public eye and this was a nice service to the community. "How long have you had your shop?" He was actually curious to what led her to do something like that. And the brother living with her was an interesting situation, especially as it sounded that they both had at least somewhat successful careers. But he supposed it wouldn't be much unlike any other roommate situation.

Braith took Lucie's questions as genuine interest so he happily kept talking. "The program is for 6 to 10 year olds right now, but if it takes off there is talk of possibly expanding it to other ages as well. Typically I work with young adults." He'd say that was more his specialty anyway "But after doing a year at Hogwarts, I was asked if I'd be interested in spearheading this program.." And it seemed just like the challenge he needed.
