Who: Theodore Nott^15-thg & Arion Carrow^1-can
What: meeting alternate world... family, of a sort.
When: Thursday
Where: in the village
Warnings: TBD

Logically, Theodore had not yet figured out how he was supposed to feel about Arion Carrow. So far as he knew, the man did not even exist in his world and was therefore an unknown. He obviously cared for Theodore's alternate mother very much, but Theodore was not biologically his son; did he consider the alternate world Theodore to be his son anyway? Theodore was not sure how he would react to the man behaving as his father. It would be strange, at the very least, since he could already tell that Arion was very different than his father at home. He was not incredibly experienced with different types of parents and parenting styles. It seemed a purely emotional territory, and therefore one that Theodore was likely to have trouble navigating.

But he was willing enough to try, especially since that seemed to be somewhat the purpose of this place, and the experiments going on here. His brand of logic was not helping him very much at the moment, with all of this Christmas stuff, and with his new scientist in general, but he was determined to persist and handle all of it to the best of his ability. The perfectionist in him certainly wasn't going to let the matter go.

He arrived early at the store Arion had suggested, because "about twenty minutes" was not a precise time, and he preferred to wait rather than to be late. With ten minutes to go before the twenty minute deadline passed, he looked around to get his bearings in the town again, at the merrily twinkling lights and the snow and the brightly colored displays.

"Not like the factions, then," Theodore said. From what he had observed, the world with factions put quite a bit more emphasis on traits that defined people. In that world they did affect a person's entire life. The factions made sense to him, because he was used to the districts; the Hogwarts houses were still something he was a little bit unclear on. Not that he didn't understand the concept, but the point of them was a little beyond his ability to grasp without having lived through it.

He moved closer to look at the necklaces, but the shine of them all seemed to be the same to him. The simple necklace seemed less gaudy than some, though, so he shook his head. "No, I think simple is good." He paused, then added, "But my opinion of jewelry is probably not very accurate for your world."

Arion shrugged and pushed the simple necklace off to the side. "Simple is good, but simple is anything but Adele. Your mother is one of the most complicated women I've ever met. I don't think simple is enough."

He then reached for a teardrop shaped necklace, but soon set it aside, along with two more that looked similar. Then he grabbed a necklace that looked like a cross between a sun and a flower. "This one is nice," he said. "Not simple, but not entirely complicated."
