Aramis waited while his dad took in what he said. And his dark green eyes watched as the older man inspected his umbrella like it was the most amazing thing in earth.. Aramis had often wondered about that umbrella, if it was more than just a usual one. Didn't umbrellas wear out after awhile? And unless his father had a stock of ones that all looked the same... He wagered to guess it might be special.

"Yes, I like this girl very much and I've never felt this way before about.. anyone. " He said as he leaned on the side of the store. "Well, the problem is.. I don't know how she feels about me! I mean I've sort of asked her out a few times, but uhh.. I think she thinks it was just as friends.. " The Slytherin boy was clearly out of his depth on this one. Things had always seemed to come easy to him. His violin playing came naturally, as did his studies, and his careful tea preparation.. but girls?

Help!

"I feel like I'm treading deep water whenever I am with her and can't seem to make two sentences string together, let alone get my feelings out. " The boy finally confessed.
Yes, he wasn't ready for this conversation. Albert opened his mouth, and instantly closed it again as he turned to his right, and started to pace slowly in front of Aramis. When was the last time he courted a woman, anyway? With Antheia, he didn't have to given the fact that their marriage was an arranged one. He tried to escape the arrangement, but it would seem that fate really had its way with the two of them. He didn't have any regrets, however. Albert loved her more than anything, and he was settled for life when his two children were born.

Albert stopped in front of Aramis, still considering the words in his head. "Are you afraid of the what ifs?" the man tilted his head to the side, and took the opportunity to remember every detail of this conversation. Of course, he would have to tell his mother about this. She would hex him in his sleep if he didn't. "What answers are you looking for?" Albert, of course, had an inkling but he thought it best that Aramis think things through. Clearly, this girl knocked his son out of his orbit, and is now desperate to get back on track. "I am quite certain that things will come out easily when you know exactly what you want." Aramis after all, is a Slytherin like him.

The man caught sight of the lady shopkeeper, and gave her a shallow nod of acknowledgement. Of all places to have a conversation with his old man, Aramis had to choose an odd one. "And I would assume that your lady friend is among this crowd?" Albert added as he turned a full 360, and grimaced at the noise. It was as bad as the bloody British rain. "I'm afraid to say Aramis, that this is a wasted opportunity for you. Could've asked her out for tea already, at the very least." he said turning around again to look at his son. "But I am chuffed that you came to me first for advice." Because it made him feel all the more important.
