Africa. Lions! Giraffes, oh he loved the zoo! Astrophel leaned forward, his smile parting as a wide grin overtook his face. There was something very different about him in person, something more child-like than he had been when Adrian was first inducted into the Death Eaters.
"Did you see many wild beasts there? A boomslang, maybe? Ooh, or an Erumpent? I heard there are still some in the regions of the dark Congo, I've always wanted to see one up close, always wanted to go on a safari."
The waitress returned with a glass of water for Astrophel and he glanced up to her, obviously surprised.
"You all remembered?"
"You made quite the fuss the last time when that one kept trying to get you to purchase something else," she jerked a thumb at the other girl the one who was sneaking glances at Astrophel even as she worked other tables.
"I did? Oh. Well... cheers," he lifted the glass to his lips and sipped on the cool water. His eyebrows arched and he set the glass down.
