"Oh, good," she said, pleased for Tristan even if she felt a pang. She had been without an elf for so long... but she brushed that aside. At least she had a place to offer him. Just a couple months ago, all she'd had was a crappy one room flat, and they'd not have fit well. She'd never quite told him how not well off she'd been since the war. She glanced at Julian from under her lashes. "You and your corruption, Jules. Filling their heads with porn, again?" She teased.
She remembered perhaps too keenly what it had been like just out of Azkaban. Not that she'd usually eaten brilliantly since then, except sporadically, but she'd fix that whenever he was around. She went up on very tiptoe and kissed his cheek again. "I thought you might like the idea," she said simply.
They walked farther along, eventually hitting a place to enter into the Alleys. "I know I've told you some of the changes, love, but things are a bit different and the same all at thr same time," she said, partly in warning and partly reminder.
