Re: Mik and Ophelia
"Maybe he can choose." A faint shrug. There were girls out there that would work for him. He was not unattractive and he was quite intelligent so maybe they were just allowing him to select. He would pick someone appropriate for the line, after all, so there was no question that he wouldn't bring pride to the line wherever he went. She was glad of that. It allowed him to follow the future he wanted.
"I like it. Developing and all." She probably did more by way of dangerous potions than Professor Banner would like in class, but there was no reason in her mind to stick to boring things like euphoria potions. There were so many more interesting things to work on. Variations of potions that had been around for centuries to strengthen their effects were fun, and that had been her most recent focus.
"Strange eyes. Strange hair. Too thin." Parroting what her parents told her with a shrug. Laertes disagreed but then he was always taking up for her. It wasn't shocking. Her brother loved her. That was something that wouldn't change.
A smile and nod at his appraisal of the melons. "Also very good. Not enough tart though." She liked the balance that berries offered in that.
