Bryony was honestly surprised - but pleased - that Rowan should talk about her specifically. Perhaps it was just because she'd moved out of the family home, or perhaps he'd been complaining... If that were the case, Viktor was, at least, too polite to mention it. The way Viktor talked about his family and his childhood seemed to set Bryony at ease. Even though she was used to talking to famous Quidditch stars (her brother and Marcus), she'd never had much to do with one she hadn't known before they became famous - she'd never imagined one would have anything to talk about her with, since she couldn't reveal how closely she followed the sport. But Viktor seemed perfectly willing to keep talking to her while his children played and Bryony felt almost relaxed - as relaxed as she ever really got, anyway.
"How old are Misha and Tsveta?" she asked, trying to pronounce the names the way he had. She wasn't much good at judging ages and wouldn't want to risk getting it wrong. "Scotland usually has snow," she agreed, thinking of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade both being covered in snow for most of her years there. "Not so much by the coast, but you could always go to Hogsmeade." She assumed that Viktor would remember the village from his trip for the Tournament. "Just check when the school's weekends are first. It gets very crowded."
Far from being bored by the details of his sisters, Bryony felt her smile grow to match his. Anyone who could speak with such pride and affection about his siblings was classed as a good person, as far as Bryony was concerned. It reminded her of Marcus, who'd always helped her to fly even when he shouldn't have. "My sisters used to get bored of watching, too," she admitted. "They preferred their own games." Ones which Bryony had never been invited to join - not that she would have wanted to leave her perch or abandon her view of those early Quidditch games. She made a small gesture to her sketch pad. "I suppose I was always more interested in sitting and watching than most people."
