Vane: Family Visit

[gorgonfondness]

Considering how busy being a new mother has made her, she's still managed to find the time to arrange a guest room and a door from Milliways for Scorpius. Some of it had been the maids' doing, but Mia had done a lot to help

As per Mia's recommendation, Scorpius has left the Quidditch jumpers at Hogwarts and is tugging at the annoyingly stiff collar of his traditional robes when he runs into the guard.

Almost literally too, near bumping into the guard, being far more interested in his surroundings than where his feet are actually taking him. He nearly swallows the peppermint toad he's working on.

"Hi. I'm looking for Mia?"

The guard is visibly taken aback, taking a moment to stare at Scorpius. He doesn't really look offended, just surprised.

Once he finds his voice, he says, "You must be the guest Majesty Mia is expecting. We are just outside of her quarters."

He moves to open the door and leads the way in through a comfortable sitting room. He knocks on a door that's been left ajar, obviously leading to a bedroom.

"Majesty Mia? Your guest has arrived."

"Oh, we'll be there in a moment," Mia's voice calls back.

The guard gives Scorpius a nod and returns to his post outside of the door.

Left alone, and waiting for Mia to appear, Scorpius takes to trying out the nearest set of sits, sitting in one and then quickly the next before finding his feet once more. Too anxious to sit still.

He rocks forward on his heels, hands stuffed into the pockets of his robes, and then chances a glance over his shoulder toward the door to see if the guard is watching.

As quick as he can, he spits the peppermint toad into the wrapper he grabs from the depths of his pockets and is stuffing it back in when he turns to greet Mia.

Mia carefully opens the door, Cepheus on her shoulder.

"Hello, Scorpius. How are you? Would you like anything?"
