"Then I suppose I could walk you home again, too. Pennyworth, isn't it?" Charles teased a little. He looked briefly down at her hand before shrugging off any thoughts. He barely knew her and whatever this was, it was not proper.

Connections happened, sure - but Charles was not the type to give into them. Not easily. She was nice and that was all he needed to know.

Her question did take him a little by surprise and it took a short while for him to answer. Once he did, his tone was fairly dismissive, "Couldn't be an auror."

Charles didn't really fancy explaining how he was more inclined to beat someone up than arrest them. Temperament, apparently.
