Looking down at his chocolate frogs that Kurumi had refused, the ex-Slytherin then laughed again. “Right! I had forgotten your dislike for these” why though he had never asked “Is it because it resembles a frog?” As she pulled out an onigiri, Daichi looked curiously. He had heard about it of course but never tried it. His attention was turned to Kurumi’s work again and he nodded. “Just today? I have a week off work” he grinned. “Kind of boring though, I’m glad I ran in to you..well not literally ran but…you get it..” he was good when talking to the media but outside of work he was …wow.
He looked at her again, but this time with a different expression. Like he wanted to ask something but wasn’t sure if he could or not. Eventually, his curiosity won over. “….Did you ever get…burned…while working?” he asked almost inaudible but still loud enough to be heard. The idea frightened him yet he still wanted to know. But then Kurumi seemed to have stopped eating and he raised his eyebrow as she pulled out a piece of koi fish which looked like one of those little magnets he had seen in stores, out of her mouth. Eyes widened , Daichi pointed at the thing. “Tell James you’re making your own onigiri’s from now on” uhuh.
Laughing, Kurumi relaxed a little more into her seat and shrugged her shoulders lightly. "
Just because it's in your blood, or wand core, doesn't mean that was what you were meant to do," she smiled. She could speak from experience there with the family's kendo dojo. She had always thought that, during her first years at Hogwarts, she would take it over when she graduated. Merlin how times had changed now. Onii-chan had taken it over for a time, but now it was mostly out of the family's hands. Despite still being located at the family home were father lived. "
As long as you're happy doing what you do."
Resisting the urge to scoot a little further away from Daichi on the bench, she shook her head rapidly back and forth at his question. "
I'm perfectly fine with frogs," she winced. Were you at Hogwarts with Professor Descoteaux? He had an activity where he released a horde of chocolate frogs we had to banish. I think I was...a third year then...." She couldn't recall precisely at the moment. It had been so long ago! "
Selina and I swore off chocolate frogs after that."
She shook her head. "
Officially the reserve is closed right now, but I go in to check in on the eggs and hatchlings. They don't take vacation days," she winked. And as someone in line for the Head Dragon Fertility Specialist she needed to keep on top of things and show the extra effort. Upon setting her onigiri down, Kurumi showed Daichi her left hand. The markings were vague now and hardly noticeable if you were not looking for it, but traces of bite marks and scorch ones as well. "
You still..." she asked softly, not finishing her sentence but allowing her violet eyes to say the rest.
...afraid of fire?
Wiping off the magnet, Kurumi smiled and placed it in her pocket. "
He tries. Just wants to help...so it's hard to scold him for that. We'll just need to have a bit of a chat on what things people can and cannot eat. He probably got confused with the idea of fish."
