It was wild that he, Cooper Emilio Branxton, being an individual who could overthink in his sleep and often made back up plans to his back up plans had not seriously considered what post-Hogwarts would look like. He had not seriously thought about university or whether or not he would look at some career options in the Ministry or really anything that he would do once the Hogwarts Express returned to King's Cross Station. He hadn't even pictured himself moving out of his home on the loch. Perhaps it was denial, perhaps it was something else, but life seemed to exist only as far as NEWTs...and the rest some distant fantasy. It would all come and nip him in the bum later, surely. "She does...but does does have the tendency to hyper focus on one aspect and everything else fades into the background a bit." Which, he would never admit, made him feel insecure at times and question his own level of attachment's reciprocation. But that was a whole other thing and more his own self infliction.
Smiling warmly, he reached out to gingerly tuck a bit of her curly hair behind her ear. "I am not sure you have anything to apologize for...and...well...I was particularly busy this summer. Really doubled and tripled and quadrupled up on things to make up for the summer before." The grounded one, to be specific. Her behavior may have been a little peculiar, since this had been a part of their conversation when they met up during summer once he was back, but seventh year brought out a lot of emotions. He wouldn't judge her or make her feel uncomfortable for feeling her feelings. "It's nice to be appreciated," he continued, his hand dropping to his side. "I appreciate you too, in case that wasn't obvious."
