Hogwarts RPG Name: Amur Neverwinter Fourth Year | ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~ SPOILER!!: Boss Man Quote:
Originally Posted by Magical Soul Botros gestured at the corner by the door where there were more comfortable chairs set up, and his very own large armchair. Sitting here at his desk felt too formal, he liked to have a laid-back atmosphere with his former colleagues, which reminded him how little he personally knew or interacted with the Auror slash professor in his company right now. Taking the basket of biscuits from his desk, Botros descended the few steps from his office area towards the corner. "My daughters insist I eat home cooked meals every week even though the house-elves' meals are great," he chuckled and set the basket down on the small coffee table there.
The tea set sat permanently on this table and all Ab had to do was heat up the pot wandlessly. "Blessful summer, I call it. In Egypt with my sons and daughters and their children, it was heartwarming," he smiled widely, his small eyes shining behind his glasses. "Thank you for asking." He felt the need to thank the man because Dakest didn't seem like someone who'd come over for a casual chat with someone else. He had this intense aura about him. Maybe it was his former job. "Hope yours is just as good," he smiled and started pouring them tea. "Sugar or milk?" It was traditional British tea this time. Taking one last, long look at the books (and resisting the urge to ask about them), Sabel turned and followed the Headmaster to the seating area. "They sound like they take good care of you."
He couldn't help but wonder at what his own kids would be like, when he was Botros's age. Very quickly, he found it a topic of thought too frightening to consider. At the moment, he just wanted his kids to stay the same age they were. To never have to grow up and face certain realities. And aging, wasn't really something he cared to consider either. Unlike Botros, he didn't think he was capable of doing it with grace.
Reaching the seating area, Sabel cast the man a small smile when he recounted his summer. "Sounds quite lovely. Time with family is always...a blessing." And with that, he took a seat, focusing his attention on the intricate patterns of the tea cups. A slight nod was all the response he cared to give to the question that wasn't quite a question.
The cups themselves looked highly delicate, as if too firm a grip would crack them right in half. He was almost afraid when it came time to pick one up. His hands weren't exactly made for handling fragile things.
So instead, he clasped them together after giving a small wave with his hand. "Just black, please." Like coffee? Right? He really wasn't too sure. Tea wasn't his thing, nor was the knowledge of what went best in it. So, sticking relatively to what he knew seemed safest.
Despite his purpose for the meeting, Sabel found his eyes once again drawn to the books on the Headmaster's desk. "I...had a matter which I wished to discuss with you, but, may I also inquire as to what it is you're studying? Ancient runes was always a past favorite subject of mine."
