"No, no. I understand, I do." And she did. Quentin was a good friend to Alix to want that for him. He would have been a crappy friend to be ok with Alix not moving on. She fully expected his friends to want him to move on and be happy like she had wanted for him. Well sort of. She hadn't truly wanted that, but it was easy to lie to herself and say she had. She did want him happy, she just didn't particularly want him happy without her.
"Now probably, yes." She could imagine what it had been like for him when he hadn't known. She'd had her own fears about it. She had absolutely no way of knowing what happened to him during the war. "I had thought about taking him with me. It was a happy dream." One that she often had and made her wonder just how different both of their lives would have been if she had done it.
"Alix certainly didn't seem to mind," she pointed out, giving him a look. She might have to smack him if he tried to say that Alix wasn't a manly man. Cuddling was a perfect way to end the day once everything else was done. She quite insisted on it even. It led to a relaxing and enjoyable time for the both of them.
"This means I can send you socks to darn!" She hated sewing. With a passion. She turned to the waitress with a smile and ordered the same. After all she still had to finish her shopping and apparate back to Alix's place. It wouldn't do to do either of those things drunk. "Plus you can totally crochet us a blanket! Winter is just around the corner, you know." And if he could tease her then she could tease right back.
"Yeah, I didn't actually go down it yet." She wasn't quite ready for that. Who all had died? She was certain there were people she'd known that were gone now. She'd go eventually. Once she'd steeled herself more. Or maybe one day when she could get Alix to go with her.
"Less complex then the magical ones in most ways." Which gave her pause. "Well, don't get me wrong, they have some magnificent things going on in them, but still...." Magic overcame the problems that the muggles had with theirs. "They put on some amazing shows sometimes. It's fun."
