Daphne was shocked when Blaise told her he planned on retiring from Quidditch, especially since this was what he dreamed of doing for as long as she had known him. He was a brilliant quidditch player, she really couldn't picture him doing something else. However, Daphne knew that Blaise was a smart man, a genius when he put his mind to something, so it wouldn't be too hard for his passion to be placed into something else. Besides, Blaise had enough in his possession to be jobless for the rest of his great-great-grandchildrens life, why should he worry about working? Watching the grounds, her ears perked at the sound of Blaise approaching. Crimson painted lips curled into a broad smirk, as she glanced over her shoulder towards Blaise. Studying him quietly for a moment, Daphne finally turned around and made her way over to him.
"I wasn't waiting long," Allowing him to take her hand and press a kiss to the top, she shook her head. "You know, love, you really ought to look into getting servants. It might be time for that house elf to be released. It fell off the window when I arrived, that's a liability. Might bring the wrath of Granger and her SPEW campaign upon your house." Brushing his hand away from hers, she threw her arms around his shoulders and pulled herself against him for a hug. Pressing a kiss to his cheek, she rested her head on his shoulder for a brief moment.
"So, what are we shopping for today?" Lifting her head from his shoulder, she pulled back from him. She wasn't going to say that she should probably be back for dinner. She didn't want to ruin how positive this day was starting off to be. Besides, this time around, their meeting was rather innocent. Daphne wasn't about to change that. The last time they were together was enough drama to last her for the next five years. She didn't want to provoke any more ill feelings, so when it came to talking about her married life, she was just going to bite her tongue. "Which reminds me, I got you a retirement gift."
Pulling out her wand, she made a very careful line with her wand, and reciting the extension charm. A small black box came into view, and Daphne quickly flicked her wand to enlarge it to it's normal size. Holding it out for Blaise to take, she made sure to watch for his reaction. Honestly, the gift wasn't anything fancy. It was just a simple black wooden box, but opening it up revealed the box to be a cufflink box, and inside were twopairs of rather expensive looking cufflinks. It felt strange to get Blaise a retirement gift, how old was he? It wasn't typical to have someone so young retire from anything. However, Daphne wasn't going to judge, this was Blaise's decision, and she would honor that.
