"Angela." He repeated. Though it felt strange, still, perhaps he can say 'Ms?'. "Twenty-four years. I've been good. Dabbling here or there, but lately I've found a calling with non-profit work. Still working on that world domination thing though." Oops. Was that something between him and Miranda? Amazing how he hadn't really thought about the younger badger and now, seeing the former librarian, all those feelings resurfaced. "You look ... well?" Okay, that came out super unconvincing. Hopefully she wouldn't notice, because she did notice the son of his, reading.
"Yes. Ethan Peter. He's a triplet, actually. He'll be starting Hogwarts with his sisters next September." Quite unfortunate of having them be born in October.
"Do ... d-do you have any children?" Small talk was so not his forte.
World domination thing? Angela's eyes narrowed for the briefest of moments. It had to be a joke, of course, though she didn't know Dominic well enough to tell for sure. Instead of latching on to that part of the conversation, she instead inquired about his other work. "Non-profit work? What exactly is it that you do?"
She let out a low chuckle. "You don't sound very convincing." She pointed out. "I'm actually getting over some health issues, so I imagine that I don't look my best at the moment. However, I just had to get out of my home and do a bit of shopping."
"Triplets? They must be quite the handful." She remarked, casting a smile down at the young boy. "I do miss Hogwarts. I'm sure they're excited to attend. Though I'm sure you've warned them to follow all rules, even in the library." She spoke lightly, followed by a smile and a wink.
"No children." She continued on. "I never was fortunate enough to have them." She paused and then went on thoughtfully. "Though I suppose all of the students at Hogwarts were my children."
