Eugene nodded along as Tilda gave him a bit more information. To say the MacFusty family was imposing would not be a lie, and frankly he was a little terrified to meet the rest of the clan, but at least he was already somewhat amiable with Quillian. Having seen him around the ministry a time or two, they at least had a working professional relationship. From what he could imagine, her father must have been quite the impressive man, given his occupation and rather large sons. It was Lachlan that Eugene couldn't get a read on, but of course he had zero intentions of pushing his luck there; the man had enough going on after the Quidditch World Cup, of that Eugene was sure.

"Quite the opposite in my family. I am surrounded by sisters, the elder two of whom are quite happily married and off living their own lives." Vera and Louisa were the family successes after all, though he knew sometimes his mother was not overly fond of where Vera had landed herself, she was happy and that was all that mattered. From him on down it was disappointment after disappointment. His marriage situation, Lena's insistence on working, apparently Helga's utter failure at the season, according to his mother were all less than stellar. Eugene didn't exactly share these sentiments, though he knew he himself had managed to screw up royally, he had spent years trying to take responsibility. Lena enjoyed her work and though he knew Helga wanted to marry, he also knew she would in time.

"Lena works in the Department of Mysteries and rather enjoys it." What they did down there he wasn't sure he wanted to know and she wasn't sharing. "And there's Helga," He shrugged. They must have been fairly close in age, right? Honestly he wasn't sure. "Well, she'll be alright too." Life sorted itself out, generally, so would it for their siblings. "My parents spend far too much of their time together, which is both endearing and annoying, as they can be busybodies." His mother more so than his father, but Alexander Scamander was not without his opinions.
