Re: Alex and Rose
"Oh, good." He was glad the frog had cheered her, even if it was just a little bit. He knew that the simplest things could help sometimes...
"I... Oh. Thanks." He was startled by the kiss, a little; he'd been so used to being alone and he wasn't entirely sure when the last time someone had touched him. "I'm okay, I guess. Jamie or Aunt Hermione... someone found me a little spot to myself, so I've kind of got my own first place. Not what I really thought it would be like, though," he added playfully, smiling over at her as he forked in another bite of cake.
He shrugged at her question. "Aconite, mostly. It's growing really well with the new fertiliser, and then I try to keep busy making the basic potions stuff to keep the pros free for making the Wolfsbane, and I'm talking about fertiliser at your wedding, Merlin's arse."
