“Aha, I uh... She wouldn’t appreciate the comparison I’m sure but... One of my...friends? She reminds me of Tinker Bell”.

Talking quicker now, he had to fully explain so the Professor wouldn’t get the wrong end of the stick.

“It’s the part about, either being all good or all bad. No middle ground”.

Taking a deep breath now, he looked around trying to hide his blushing face, hoping that the Professor would be kind enough to forget that he didn’t mention the name of the student.

Surprise briefly took over his face as the Professor sat down next to him. This was swiftly replaced by his massive monkey smile. “My favourite character? Hmm....”. Taking a second, he briefly thought back on the various characters in the book.

“I’d have to say... Nana!”. Not the obvious choice, but he couldn’t help it. “I mean, she just defies logic! She’s a nurse and looks after the family but...she’s a dog”. His mind wandered a little now back home to his dog as he mentioned his next point, “And I think most people who have dogs who love them (Love being the key word as he knew some people did not) have this relationship with their dogs where they’re like family. I mean, my dogs helped my family a lot over the last few years so...”. Stopping now, he looked down. He didn’t want to talk the Professors ear off.

“What about you, sir? Who’s your favourite character? Or book? If you prefer”.
Gaston returned Ewan's gaze, but he couldn't help but notice the boy's cheeks go red. Goodness, he hadn't meant to embarrass him with that question! "You don't have to-" he began, but Ewan was already answering. The answer (or more to the point, the lack of one) made him chuckle a bit. "Oh, I see." He could think of several young ladies with personalities somewhat similar to Tinker Bell, but he didn't press the issue. It seemed that was destined to remain a mystery for now.

The professor's expression turned thoughtful at Ewan's next words. "So do you think there's no middle ground between good and bad?" he asked. He had his own belief on the matter, but he was curious to hear the boy's thoughts.

Gaston listened intently as Ewan explained his favorite character, his eyes widening slightly. He had to admit, that wasn't the answer he expected,
but it made sense! "That sounds a lot like my cat, Phantom," he said. He'd never really thought about it before, but now that he had, he could see the similarities between the dog nurse and a certain black and white Persian. "She helped me through the darkest time in my life..." His voice trailed off as he remembered the day his parents surprised him with that tiny kitten. Hoping to distract himself from his past, he tried to change the subject. "What kind of dogs do you have?"

The question caught him a bit off guard, and he thought for a minute. "We'd be here all day if I tried to pick a favorite book!" he said, laughing. He had so many! Oh well, he supposed that went along with being the son of a librarian. So who was his favorite Peter Pan character? When he was a kid, he would've said Peter Pan himself. He wanted to fly away to Neverland and not have to grow up, just like him. But now... "I have to say I have a soft spot for Captain Hook. He acts mean, but I think deep down, he's sad. I think that's why he hates Peter Pan so much... he reminds him of a time in his life that he can never go back to, when he was too young and innocent to know how cruel the world can be."
