Interactions with his mother could go in so many directions. A comfortable ease might fall over him, allowing Blaise to relax in a way he didn't around other people, or he could get irritated with her - it was usually the first, though the latter seemed to occur with age. Apparently that was nothing new for a boy growing up but he wasn't frustrated yet.
"Mm, I thought the same, that a break might be nice, but I like having something to do. Not that I want to work more, I just don't enjoy relaxing all of the time." He didn't want to offend his mother; if she enjoyed her lifestyle, that was fine with him. And most of the time he could relax in luxury the way they always had but he wanted to make something of himself at the same time.
"I suppose it can be nice to appreciate your own things. But nothing is out of our reach." Blaise never appreciated what he had in that way so it might sound hypocritical but he wasn't being completely truthful.
Hm, that was a difficult question. The three or so properties they had now were in grand locations of importance with access to the best of places. "Perhaps somewhere in the north. Sweden, Finland. They're beautiful at the right time of year."
