Theo was very grateful that Aidan had offered to put him up, especially considering he was still unemployed and had little to no money left to his name. He could have sold off more House Elves or some of the old furniture still in storage somewhere from the Nott House, but he wasn't about to uproot the poor Elves from their new homes and he didn't want anyone else to be haunted by the furniture from that place that still stank of blood and rot and screams.

The new place wouldn't have that problem. If there were any screams embedded in those walls he wouldn't be able to hear them and none of his own were in there. Not to say that they wouldn't grow there; the sounds tended to follow him around, regardless of how well he warded his bed.

Theo had packed his few belongings into the trunk that he still had from Hogwarts: some changes of clothes, books of various ages and languages, a whole chemist's worth of potions, various this that and the others. It was all stored safely and then shrunk so that he could fit the whole thing in the palm of his hand, and from there into his pocket and he was all packed. Sad really, maybe it should have taken him longer to gather all his worldly possessions. Then again, it didn't matter what he had as long as the things he had weren't saturated in misery.

He was a bit concerned on Aidan's behalf about the trust he was placing in Theo, letting him into his house without meeting him elsewhere first, but he supposed that maybe that was being a little too paranoid; it was a pretty progressive thought for Theodore.

He flooed into Aidan's house with the neat grace of someone who had grown up used to this method of travel, looking about politely for his gracious host.

Aidan shrugged a little, "A little difficult. It was the result of a really nasty injury. I was glad for the reprieve after that," he hadn't been afraid of Quidditch, just very wary. "But I've more than recovered now. I'm ready to get back to it."

Aidan looked at the cat demanding attention and then one in his lap, a vibrating purring mess. "That's Bertie." he said of the one Theo was petting (calico). "This is Drooble (gray). Yes, just like the sweets. My niece and nephew named them. I couldn't argue that they were bad names, just different. The cats adapted well to them."

"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.

	Aidan nodded at his initial question, "For the most part I'm healed. I still get horrible migraines on occasion though, that may never go away. But I work around them." Aidan was staring off out the window. "They are 5 and 7. They also have twin sisters who were born earlier this year. Usually when I go off overnight, it's because they request my presence."

Theo could relate to injuries that lingered, even though his were mostly psychic. And ignored. He looked sympathetic at hearing that though. "I'm really sorry. It must be difficult to keep a normal schedule with frequent migraines." He was impressed that Aidan could cope with them and still hold down a career; it certainly made him feel ashamed of himself.

"Oh? Not for anything bad I hope?" Theo asked warily, already thinking of worst-case scenarios in his head of small children crying out for their uncle to come help them against some tyrannical figure that Theo's imagination baulke at fleshing out.
