Speaking of France, her thoughts turned to her own trip. “My trip was fun, Lots of shopping and quality time with my grandparents, though it does get a bit crowded with all of us in the same house. How’s your Maman?”

Desiree took a dainty sip of her white chocolate mocha before answering the other question. “The volunteer work is going well so far, a little tiring sometimes but rewarding. Though I’ll be glad when I can use magic outside school!” And that wouldn’t be long; her seventeenth birthday was only a few months away! “What kind of job are you applying for? Something in the fashion industry, I hope!” To think she might’ve gone into that field… had it not been for the teddy-rat incident her third year!

She eyed the lemon posset with an intrigued expression. “I believe it,” she replied. “Yes, please. Trade for a bite of my torte?”

Mouse would always be happy to meet up with Desiree whenever the other girl had time, and she should have thought to ask and coordinate prior to this last jaunt, but it also might have been good she hadn't. Her maman had been not particularly pleased when Mouse informed she would not be moving to France full time to live with her. She'd been rather clingy after that, until the girl assured she would visit at least once every season. "I plan to go back pretty often each year to visit her. We should definitely coordinate and hang out in France next summer when you go!" She could easily plan her time around what Desiree had available.

"I bet they loved having you there with them! Did you guys go and do any excursions or anything? Or just some nice family time?" At the question of her mother, Mouse considered for a moment the best way to answer. Maman had really been struggling since the divorce, and Mouse staying in England had been another blow. But... she seemed okay by the end of the trip. "She's doing a lot better, I think! I wouldn't say she's entirely happy lately but... She's okay."

Mouse smiled, pleased to hear volunteering was going well. She hoped it continued to be so and was quite excited for her friend and the more opportunities she would have next term when she could do magic as well. "i'm glad! After seeing more of the field first hand, do you feel even stronger that this is what you want to do?" It occurred to Mouse in that moment she was apparently drawn to hanging out with Healers, considering at this time she would easily list Raj and Desiree as her closest friends - and both were interested in the same field. "Well, considering how competitive fashion is, for the time being I'm going to apply for pretty much anything so I have some coin to get an apartment and survive. But the plan is to apply to internships and whatever entry level I can find for fashion and... hope something sticks!"

She gave a nod, pushing her plate closer to Desiree so she didn't have to reach. "Absolutely!"
