When he confirmed that Professor Fah was still there and available she smiled, "I owe her a visit. Professor Fah helped me a lot when I was a student." Even if she knew the likelihood that her old Professor would immediately see straight through her and know Selah was dealing with problems...

Listening as he responded Selah nodded as he laid out what his plans were school wise, at least it sounded like he had things in perspective to stay on track. So things had rattled him that badly yet, that was a good sign all things considered. When he seemed more confused than not about her mention...

Shaking her head she smiled, “It’s alright, just reminding you… regardless of what we’re going through, it’s always good to be aware of what is going on with those around you too.” His question about if she wanted to go to America combined with the one about her husband made her instantly sober, “It...

Sitting back as he began to look over the tea leaves in her cup, Selah kept her comments and thoughts to herself throughout until he commented on overthinking again. “The only thing you're missing is who you are reading… that ain’t you, kiddo. Remember whose tea leaves those are.” It was always the ...

Selah squeezed his hands at his comment about doing for her, “I appreciate that but you don’t have to do for me kiddo, not your job. It’s mine to do for you and I do it because I want to. None of you should be punished or treated any differently just cause you don’t happen to be a pureblood.” That w...

Selah shifted back in her chair some when he snapped the comment, a racist? Well that hadn’t been mentioned before. When he apologized she shook her head and sipped her tea motioning for him to continue, obviously there was more he hadn’t said and he needed to get it all out now. She sat quietly lis...

Selah wasn’t judging him, heck she understood more than most how he felt. She’d essentially cut her own mother off a long time ago but not entirely despite all the hurt she’d caused her because that hope was still there. At his question she bowed her head, “As soon as she bothers to try I’ll let you...

When he returned settling with his butterbeer and mentioned always causing her trouble she reached across playfully smacking his arm, “Oh please! You do not. You are the least troublesome thing in my life right now.” Sipping her tea she gave him whatever time he needed but Kyle didn’t seem to need m...

July 15,2005 When the letter had arrived Selah had been sort of caught off guard but not entirely. After the last time she’d checked in with Kyle Winters she’d made herself a note to expect to hear from him soon. But the subject of his owl wasn’t exactly what she’d expected to hear from him about, ...

Shaking her head absently she chuckled, “It will always be something else, Mal. The sooner you figure that out the sooner you figure out my biggest gripe with my husband.” Much as she loved Dorian and Merlin knew she did, there was always something else when he was avoiding the obvious like a conver...

She snorted softly and took another long sip of the drink he’d fixed her, “You’re regular had it right to be sure, starting to feel like I am screaming into the void at this point.” It didn’t matter what she’d done before he’d even brought up the whole separation thing, Dorian wouldn’t talk to her. ...

His comment made her shrug her shoulders absently, “He doesn’t think so.” Sipping the drink some more, a brow lifted when he continued bringing up the whole ‘take one for the team’ and she snorted despite herself. Setting the drink down she didn’t hesitate to lock her gaze with him, “I’m already tak...

She sat back in her seat more than once at the display before he placed the drink down in front of her making her chuckle softly, “Even if it isn't, the show alone was worth it.” Granted she doubted it wouldn’t be at least something she could drink, he hadn’t gone wrong with the first one. Picking i...

She nodded, “Likewise Mr. Lee… or Mal if I am permitted of course?” When he mentioned Dorian hadn’t been there in a while she sighed, “He’ll be back, this is the one place aside from the school he’s least likely to completely abandon.” Selah didn’t mean it to sound irritated or offended, hardly it w...

When he mentioned how he behaved after imbibing too much Selah couldn’t help but giggle some, “You sound like a few I know. At least it’s those two emotions rather than just the red eyed monster.” She could almost deal with turning into a giggling loon or crying her eyes out, anything was better tha...

It was nice just the softness of it all in the mornings, even if their usual routine was completely off. Selah actually sort of missed watching him just lay in bed while she busied about until he ultimately either got up or tried and usually succeeded in convincing her to come back to bed. She almos...

A Ravenclaw, well that wasn’t entirely a surprise but she’d almost pinned him for another house. When he confirmed precisely why he tended to offer the first drink free she smiled, it was a good gesture to make and mindset to have. If others did as much they might find themselves in better standing ...

Wanted.... Just A Father Making The Most of His Time... Being separated from her husband and losing her grandfather is gonna hit Selah right in her unhealed childhood trauma, sending her down a rabbit hole of trying to find her biological father. It doesn't matter to her what he is or what she's be...

The sound of his voice before she even saw him brought a smile to her face. When he did finally appear in the mirror behind her Selah couldn’t help her smile widening to match his own as he approached while she finished up her mascara. Just in time too when he leaned in, pressing those kisses to her...

She nodded when he confirmed he had in fact graduated the same year she had, “I knew it, I graduated in 1995 as well. That explains why you look so familiar.” Watching him closely for a moment she looked as if she was trying to picture him younger for a moment before she shook her head, it was so ha...

She watched as he began to work, well him and his magic, it was always entertaining to see how different wizards used magic in different ways. Watching as he selected the different ingredients Selah head tilted a bit curious to see just what he’d come up with. He was making some interesting choices ...

To say it had been a day would have been putting it mildly and the idea of going back home to that endlessly empty house made her anxiety spike like never before so Selah had decided to find a drink elsewhere. The Leaky Cauldron had looked, well, far too busy for her taste this evening and she conti...

It was the smell of fresh coffee that drew her from sleep, she never needed an alarm so long as the coffee maker was set to go off at the right time. Waking up the first thing Selah did was to unconsciously roll to her right, an attempt to get at least a few minutes of quiet cuddles from Dorian befo...
