Vera was a curious person by nature. And while it was very rare that she happened to get explanations for her unspoken questions, that didn’t mean her face couldn’t still ASK. As for brothers? While Ve did not know Paul, she DID have her own brother and while she gave him grief endlessly there was no one she’d rather have by her side if something was wrong. Vasco didn’t ask questions if she didn’t want to answer them and her barely older brother gave the best hugs.

But she would never openly admit any of that to him.

While her mentioning this moment to Logan was very much a possibility because of how BAFFLED she was by the request, Mona’s very sound plan would have been disrupted only by the fact Ve probably would have mentioned it more from a concerned angle. In fact, maybe she should really discuss with Vesper and see if the younger Thanatos could befriend this first year. Ve was almost TOO old now to be as comforting as she might have once been. Wasn’t that strange?

Oh… so she didn’t want to leave, but wanted to make sure her future was set? This exclamation made the sixth year feel a little bit small, if only for the fact how was it this young student was more put together than herself??? Yikes. “Oh. Well…. That is wise. Do you already know what you want to do then? And are you planning on just… starting it early?” She supposed if the ministry would let her take her OWLs a year early and THEN her NEWTs she could conceivably graduate by Fifth year…. What a wild notion. “Well… I’m not really certain about the specifics. It’s not something I’ve looking into.” She had zero necessity. She’d stay longer at Hogwarts if she could and if she could convince Logan, Sia and Vas to stay with her. “I think… maybe the Minister’s Office is who handles education? So maybe you should talk to someone there? The Minister himself is probably pretty busy but… some of his grandkids are here! You could maybe ask them too?” Mitsuki seemed a wealth of information, though Ve couldn’t vouch for certain she’d have THIS information and Yukie was super approachable.
