"France is enough to keep your mother at bay, but until Sera's baby comes along, even the other side of the world won't stop my mother from nagging. Of course, if I can make it as a sane man until December, then I'll be just fine. She'll have a new generation to faun over." He lifted his second glass when Blaise's had been brought and gave a sarcastic toast to the niece on the way.
"Well anyway, thank you for listening to me whine like a third year Hufflepuff. What have you been up to besides hanging around here watching Gobstones like you actually find them interesting?" He ordered another round for them, getting himself a stout to go with his double shot this time, too.
