 That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
He shouldn't have said that. 'You could try' gave Cornelius a full green light and his mind was already thinking up ideas. Maybe a huge eagle owl like his dad's to scare off the cats. OR one of those overly fluffy kneazles. Oooh. This was going to be epic. "The Narnia family must be complete," the boy grinned. Come to think of it, the librarian reminded him of someone...
There. Proper introductions. His father would be proud.....like he cared. The name Kennedy struck. The Slytherin perked up. "I have a Kennedy. His name is Kennedy, surname Escalante, though." Just FYI. His cousin was the head in charge in Law Enforcement at MACUSA, and Corn was considerably fond of him. "May I call you uncle Kalen when not in school?" Get it. "Kidding," he added quickly with an easy grin. He wasn't sure how Azura would feel about that one. Probably laugh. She laughs at all his jokes. So precious.
This time to boy's gaze caught the man's gesture. The touch of the third finger on his left hand. Coming from a family with frequent engagements, weddings and babies, Cornelius knew the signs. Did he have a hidden ring there? Under the Disillusionment Charm like his sister Yvonne when she'd gone off and secretly married? My, my, Mister Librarian.
BROWS AT YOU.
A question for him now. Well, for his friend. Cornelius thoughtfully chewed on the inside of his cheek, his fingers tracing the handle on the cup in front of him. "I think," he started slowly, "I think...he'd do anything for her. He'd defy his mother if he had to..." The boy's drifted off. He'd never openly consider that, but that day Azura and his mum had met he'd taken Azura's hand and gone off with her. That same morning his mother had offered him tickets to his favorite band that evening. His mother NEVER ever offered band tickets because she thought of them of vandals, and he knew what she was up to, but that night....He'd chosen Azura...
...Woah...
