Tatiana’s lips parted slightly as Derek spoke, her mind already racing ahead, fitting the pieces together. It made sense—too much sense, really. Her gaze flickered back to the animal carvings before she shook her head. “Right? That’s exactly what I mean. If it were just about pushing the right symbo...

Tati couldn't help but giggle some at his comment about the food, "I do seem to recall a certain boy I knew who would do much the same, I think it's just in boys to do." Recalling their childhood moments almost sort of stopped her but she pushed through, those were good memories; at least ...

Something white, no… someone moving towards her in a white suit caught her attention and as she turned to see who Tati felt her breath catch. Bishop . And he looked marvelously handsome, she'd have never imagined him in an all white suit but it surprisingly fit him very well. Made the warmth of the ...

She nodded absently before he was packed up and ready to depart. At his praise at her progress she bowed her head a bit shyly, "Thank you Dr Blackwood. Hopefully I'll see you in a month with a better report." Turning with TJ it took no more than that for the dog to start walking back towar...

"For old times sake, Beau… Please,come to the ball." Those words were the exact reason she'd frantically rushed to find a gown in time and now stood in front of the barely acceptable mirror making the last few touches on her hair . She didn't feel like she looked anywhere close to as pret...

The little dragons chittering sound made her smile, Tati almost silently hoped he would take her words to heart. They all took their lumps as students, she doubted it would hurt any of them to take a few as well. "Oh I don't mind if you do, will keep me busy at least till I'm off duty if nothin...

Tati head tilted slightly when he finally spoke and looked thoughtful, "Alright so let's focus on that then… the Founders themselves. Forget the relics." It was the most logical line of thought especially given the diadem wasn't present, there was no reason it shouldn't have been if the re...

She nodded absently at his words, he was right of course. Tati knew she had to at least try, just talking to him wasn't enough especially since they only met every so often. Living on the property was a big enough challenge for her that she needed to learn to trust others to know and be there. Of co...

It was amazing petting the creature before its attention shifted towards TJ and she giggled some still listening as Pen spoke. "Oh I can only imagine, poor Cosmo, as if one big dragon wasn't enough… and this one travels well." She felt for the poor dog, truly but she knew where Pen's heart...

Nodding at his comment she head tilted when the runes began to glow and the symbols appeared as well, "Something about the Founders would be my best guess: a lion, a snake, a badger, a raven…" Tapping her chin thoughtfully she stared at the others the items themselves but the only thing th...

Tati sighed at his question, he wasn't wrong but she didn't feel she was either. "With Derek? Perhaps. With Penny? Most certainly not." She sighed holding up a hand to request a moment to piece together her thoughts, "I mean yes, I know she's had things happen that I'm sure we could c...

She stopped herself from telling Penny there was nothing to apologize for, she didn't know the truth but instead Tati let it go. Giving both the dogs some water was an easy enough task before her attention shifted sharply when Penny whistled and watched as the smaller dragon flew towards the other w...

"Thank you," the comment came naturally as he handed her the paper and charcoal she'd asked for. Head tilting absently as he translated the runes, Tati knew she'd have to take his word for it as she'd never taken runes nor happened to pick up reading them in the years since she finished s...

Tati smiled at his comment, "Not intentionally but maybe a little… you opened the door." Nodding absently as he continued to explain the psychological side of TJ's presence and its effect, Tati understood precisely what he meant. When he mentioned a rabbit in his office she giggled a bit, ...

When she suggested Broomsticks, Tati looked thoughtful; it wasn’t a huge ask but there was the problem about something stronger than Butterbeer. She absently worried her bottom lip for a moment before she gave a little smile, “I’ll come keep you company while you drink, I don’t…” No she hadn’t drank...

She blinked following his light on the wall before the symbols began to glow causing her to gasp a little as she followed behind him, “It seems we do… now what does it mean..?” Moving along she didn’t touch the runes but she traced them in the air with her finger, trying to remember what each one me...

She chuckled some as his admission, “So not a pet person, I’m kind of not surprised..” Glancing at him she shrugged, “It takes a lot of one's focus and concentration to do what you do, if my own case is any example I don’t imagine it leaves you with much energy or desire to do little else.” It at le...

She shook her head at her comment, [color=#7642D] “There’s nothing to suss out, Pen. Honest.”[/color] Tati figured she would be terribly disappointed that things were still the way they were before but if she only knew even that was a change as well. That wasn’t hers to tell though, Tati would never...

She smiled and giggled some when he explained his line of thought before he pulled the fixture on the wall and she heard the click as well before the wall slid back. “You certainly are,” Tati was genuinely impressed but then again he’d had a lot of time and research to figure these things out or at ...

Tati outright laughed when he mentioned how he finally got that particular charm down, covering her mouth quickly to muffle the noise so as not to disturb anyone around them. “I cannot imagine a better use of it back then.” Her attention shifted back towards TJ as they walked and she smiled at his q...

Laughing as she explained about having someone dragon-sitting Tati nodded, “Larger moderately more dangerous dogs where their chosen person is concerned. I hope he behaves himself for whomever you have watching him so you can enjoy your visit without too much worry.” Though it was a moot point, she ...

Tati laughed softly despite herself at his enthusiasm before he was guiding her towards the restricted section gate. Taking one of the offered lanterns she smiled, “Thank you and it’s fine. I much prefer doing things the simpler way when it comes to such things, magic should be saved.” Allowing him ...

Wandering along with him she blinked when he mentioned his own house, “A fellow Ravenclaw? Well that certainly explains some things.” Most importantly why she trusted him so easily, it wasn’t solely because he was a healer like herself. There’d always been something more when it came to Dr Blackwood...

She mentally patted herself on the back when Pen confirmed what she’d suspected, so she was the special guest lecturer today. “I knew I was right on that, glad to see they at least chose one of the best and brightest to come speak.” Oh she imagined it probably had a lot to do with the Headmaster as ...

Once he was gone Tati went to work finishing up quickly the last few things she needed to take care of before she left the office, passing off the monitoring of the ward to the other healer. Returning to her quarters with TJ she quickly prepared his dinner allowing him to eat before she took him out...
