Not necessarily a disappointing consequence, I hope.

[ Maybe if what they'd shared had been something with a definition... But they'd barely had a first date. Hermione knows she has a great depth of feeling for Ignis, but there's no outlet for it; it's just there, waiting for them to talk about it. ]

I wouldn't say that. Maybe they took pity on us with it being the holidays.

I'm not sure that anyone would truly be disappointed by genuine flattery.

[Unless they're just strange or self-conscious.

One of the things they need to discuss: their actual relationship and how it will proceed forward.]

You'll have to forgive me, but I honestly don't think the Atroma are capable of pity. That means they have the same feelings as you and I, and even in the time I was here before saw no indication of that.

[brainiest]

No, I suppose not.

[ Hermione guides him forward, angling towards some of the other stores, and when she speaks her voice is softer and a little quieter. ]

My two year anniversary passed while you were gone.

[blindrecipe]

[He doesn't miss the change in her voice. Of course, that's how he distinguishes a great deal of the world around him.]

Two years is a great deal of time. How long has it been since you've been in your world, Hermione?

[He knows that she was in the Drabwurld before arriving on the Fleet, but he's not absolutely certain how long it's been since she left where she's from originally.]

[brainiest]

[ It's sad and a little nostalgic and all Hermione can do is sigh softly. ]

Five years now. I was in the Drabwurld for three before I woke up here on the fleet.

[ It seems like aeons and she feels, suddenly, quite old. ]

[blindrecipe]

Have I missed your birthday?

[Because she's already older than him and they both know it. That doesn't mean he wants to miss a milestone with her.]

I'm afraid mine has passed already.

[brainiest]

It hasn't been that long, no. Honestly, Ignis, it's only been a few months since you disappeared.

[ Not long enough for September to come around again, even if her age itches at her just a little. ]

... I missed yours? You know this means we'll have to celebrate it again.

[blindrecipe]

[Enjoy your younger man, Hermione. Just enjoy it, okay.]

Yes, if my math is correct, it's only been a month, so it's not that long past. You needn't put yourself out to celebrate it.

[brainiest]

[ Is this what it feels like to be a cougar?? ]

What if I want to celebrate it? It's your birthday, Ignis, it's special.

[blindrecipe]

[He wouldn't know. He's the younger man, isn't he?]

Then I suppose I can't stop you from doing what you want. I wouldn't dare attempt to do so in the first place.

[brainiest]

You've learned faster than Ron and Harry ever did. [ It makes her smile, though, before she tugs him forward in front of a shop. ] Here we are!

[blindrecipe]

I should hope so, since I am an adult and you've known them since they were children.

[He comes along with her, keeping his footing with only mild difficulty. Hermione, don't pull on blind people.]

Finally. I thought we'd never reach the store, what with how crowded the streets sound.
