"Oh, I'm sorry." Theo said, feeling like a dick for bringing it up. "You're all healed okay now though?" He semi-asked, assuming this was the case if Aidan was going back. "You must be exicted." he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be separated from something that Aidan clearly loved so much for any length of time.
Theo pet the cat's - Bertie's - soft ears and scritched around her head, letting her rub her face against his hand when she wanted. "I like them." he said honestly, that smile still there. "I'll try not to disturb them or anything. They seem like they don't mind me being around though." he commented as the cat twined back and forth against his hand and then paused to assess him like it was thinking about jumping up. "How old are your niece and nephew?" he asked, his tone a little unsure though - he was never certain if he should be around children. He had the strange dark sad fear that he would do to them what his dad had done to him, although the reality was the opposite. He had nothing good to base his interaction with children on and he was as out of his depth around them as he would have been in the Muggle world.
