So mun, I've been thinking. Remember way back, the first time, when things got a little bit much and I went with Asher to the States? He and I stayed there with Alex for a while and just pretended we were Muggles?

I don't suppose I can have another break?

[Oh, you mean the time you abandoned your family and played mom to your sister's kid while your brother-in-law worked as a stripper to put food on the table? That time?]

...You always have to make things sound worse than they really were, don't you.

Differently according to your own desires? [Sera will forever support staunch independence.] Or, perhaps, the desires of your parents?

Well...mine, I guess. I've always been too stubborn for my own good, just ask my sister.

[She laughs.]

I seem to take after my mother.

There is nothing wrong with stubbornness. Use it to your advantage and follow the path that beckons to you the most.

If you were my child, I would urge you to spread your wings.

How about being stubbornly indecisive? Because I can be good at that too. [Though she's making an effort at being less indecisive, really.]

Oh, I know what I want to do. I'm going to be an Auror.

[Mary tilts her head a little, studying the woman thoughtfully.]

My mother does, but she'd like me to be a little more...cautious.

[As in not going about thinking she's invincible just because she's gotten away with some things in the past.]
