We can. Seeing you here has been lovely. Those memories, even though they are recent, are sweet to me.

Being with you has been sweet. You're more beautiful than I remember and I thought you couldn't exceed my memories of you.

You really are too kind, Gellert. But seeing you has been wonderful. More than I could have hoped for before.

Your school and your students... They do keep you happy, don't they?

They do. I know if may not be what you'd have imagined for me, but they truly do.

...I wish I could see it.

Perhaps you will one day.

Would I live there with you for the school year?

Only if you could behave yourself.

That is asking a lot of me.

But the incentives are nice.

The teachers' quarters are very comfortable. It wouldn't be the worst place to stay.

While you teach, I will live like a pampered cat, waiting for you to return.

That doesn't sound like a terrible way to spend one's time.

I must have other projects or, like a cat, I will destroy what you hold dear.

I think that would be wise. Though, you have a very severe opinion of cats.

Tell me I'm wrong. They use those teeth and claws on everything.

I suppose not, but I'll have to remember this in case I ever try to introduce you to one.
