Re: Mik and Ophelia
That would be interesting. Her older brother coming back as a teacher's assistant. It was clear that she held her brother in high regard, so hopefully it would go a long way in bringing her some happiness. It seemed she could use it at the moment. "You do not need to be ashamed of your feelings, Ophelia. You feel them for a legitimate reason, there is no shame in that." However, if he were being completely honest, he was being a hypocrite. He wouldn't dare speak his doubts toward his own engagement.
"I would like that very much. It would give me an opportunity to see where you are at and perhaps play a little bit of catch in regards to what you have done." As well as giving him a chance to see if what she was working on could be useful later on. It was a win win situation for everyone.
"Another reason I will gladly leave these halls for good after next term and not look back." He normally wasn't that blunt with his distaste for school, but he found he could relax a little more around Ophelia.
