At the mention of the cream Malou's lips twitched into a small smile that she tried to hide, pleased that she had guessed right. She poured a small amount of cream into his mug before handing it to him. Then she delicately added a cube of sugar to Mrs. Bagshot's with a healthy helping of cream. Mr. Bagshot preferred his with no cream or sugar she had learned years ago so she left his alone. To her own she indulged in two sugar cubes and cream. At home she rarely put sugar in her tea, it was a luxury she could live with out, but at her godmother's ... well she allowed herself her sweet tooth there.
Mrs. Bagshot headed back to her husband without further comment, which both surprised Malou and made her suspicious of what her godmother was up to. Not that she hadn't been already.
She was distracted from her thoughts by his question. "Oh," Malou was quite use to this question. After all she could hardly claim to share a name with them, nor a native tongue, nor even looks. "Mrs. Bagshot is my godmother. " She took a sip of her tea. It was the practiced answer and normally she said no more, but well, perhaps it was how the conversation had gone before Mrs. Bagshot stepped in, but Malou found herself needing to explain. "She was my mother's best friend, as close to an aunt as I've ever known." Malou glanced over her shoulder at Mrs. Bagshot fondness in her gaze. She was the closest thing Malou had to family aside from Fallon.
