Inside his mind, he was cursing himself. What a stupid thing to ask! Of course she would miss her home! Who wouldn't?! Why did he have to ask such stupid questions?
He smiled awkwardly. "I don't miss home" he said airily. "There wasn't anything there for me anyway..." Except his friends, and his family... his school, his teacher. But he wasn't going to admit that one out loud, was he? Not yet anyway. "But I will miss hanging out with my friends" he added. "It was pretty normal" he shrugged. "I went to school, got in trouble a lot..." he said, hoping she wouldn't run away at that point.
