Cecilia's lips twitched and her eyebrow arched in amusement at Sirius' joke; his humour was improving, or maybe he was just beginning to relax. At least the misunderstanding had been corrected, despite his supposedly limited exposure to children, and that made Cecilia begin to relax again.
At his suggestion, she paused for a moment. She wanted to stay, wanted to get to know him better, figure out where her attraction to him came from, but it was just minutes ago that a failed attempt at teasing from her side had touched on some insecurity in Sirius, and she didn't want that to happen again. On the other hand, he had just invited her to ask him about anything he wanted to know, and she took that as a sign that he was prepared – at least to some degree – to deal with her potentially crossing the line again. Looking from the kitchen and back to him, she nodded, accepting his offer with a gentle smile. "You can ask, too," she let him know as she kept a hold on his hand and followed him back to the kitchen.
"What was it like?" she asked him as she picked up the roots she had left on the counter when she had left, moving them to the chopping board and began to cut them into small dices. "Coming back, I mean. What was it like coming back?"
