Re: Julius and Astoria
Julius smiled because he knew exactly what wasn't being said, it wasn't that hard to figure out. Not that he did not actually appreciate Eros from time to time. It was a good place for temporary distractions of the kind it was not suitable to speak of in polite company. This, however, was something entirely different. This was for more respectable fun.
"Variation is a lovely thing and besides, our world is desperately in need of some elegance. Especially after such trying times," he said. Not that they'd been particularly trying for him, seeing how he'd left the country long before the actual war broke out, but he did not mention that part. "I heard of your losses, and they saddened me greatly. This country lost a great Minister and the world a great witch." Narcissa had also been a relative, if fairly distant to himself and in Julius' world that mattered.
