Well. Not ignore it. Just... he wasn't going to ask after it. The last thing he wanted was to upset her or make her cry or something. If she wasn't going to press the thing from Sachiko, he wasn't going to press the thing about her mom. Mutual avoidance of difficult topics for the win.
"I like dittany for how useful it is," he murmured, reaching to touch the leaves of a shrub sitting back from the path. Not dittany, but he liked how the leaves felt against his fingertips. They were sooooooft. He looked from the shrub to Azura. "There's this other plant I like the most though. It's really rare to find, but dad got some, and I get to keep a little of it in my plant patch. It's called niffler's fancy... it's really pretty."
She had mentioned potions ingredients, which was something else he knew lots and lots about. "My plant patch has lots of potions ingredients! I got to do experiments with them this summer."
It had been soooooooooo fun. And he'd even managed to bring some of the experiment stuff with him. It was stashed away in his dorm, just waiting for the right time. Azura looked over at Jaemin for a moment, and it almost seemed as if something passed between them.. something unspoken to not mention uncomfortable things.. She wouldn't mention the letter..He wouldn't ask about her mother.. She had noticed he had looked at her for a moment after she spoke about her mother..
But he didn't say anything. Something Azura was grateful for. She would much rather suffer in silence really. People didn't need to know.
Her purple eyes flicked from the shrub he was touching to his face as he mentioned dittany, "That is a very useful ingredient." She agreed softly, as she looked down back down at the plant.. only to gasp softly as he mentioned Nifflers Fancy.."I love that plant, My mom had some in her office at work! I got to see it a few times, it was so pretty."She bounced a little excitedly at the memory of it. "She was trying to experiment on it." And find more of it.. Hence one of her reasons for going to the Black Forest. "Oh really? What sort of ingredients? Have you made anything? I love potions."
