"If you don't get too upset if I'm so comfortable that I kind of doze off here on your shoulder," Keagan replied, smiling as she felt his lips on her head. It was true, she was very comfortable. Physically, anyway. She still had her worries, and if she could see Dan's face, she might have guessed that he did, as well. But here was another moment, and she planned to enjoy it for what it was worth. "What shall we talk about?" she inquired.

" I'm sure I won't mind all too much, " Dan said with a laugh and another half grin as he wrapped his arms around Keagan. " Anything. Whatever you want. " Dan was curious about Keagan, birthdays, favorite colors, anything of the sort. He turned his head towards the fire and smiled more to himself than anything else.

As much as Keagan loved having Dan's arms wrapped tightly around her, that was how much she hated having to come up with a way to start a conversation. Therefore, she always said something remarkably silly or stupid just to get the ball rolling. Whether it was intended that way or not was anybodies guess. "We could talk about toes, then. Personally, I have ten, though I don't think I'd mind too much if I had ended up with nine or eleven."

" Oh, well, I for one would be a little wierded out if I had ended up with one more or one less toe than what was expected. " Dan said with a laugh, " Allthough I think I could get used to it, after a while. " Dan then asked her, " So, where do you live? " He just realised he didn't really know much of anything about Keagan besides her age and normal stats that one asks when knowing someone. He didn't know much about her family either.

"I hail from the merry ole U S of A. Rhode Island, to be precise. The folks are still there, but I only head back for summer vacations. Otherwise I tend to stay in Europe with one relative or other." Keagan said it all in a tone much the same as she would use to describe the weather if asked. It wasn't because she didn't care, only because she was willing to answer anything in her sleepy state without truly thinking about it. At least to Dan. "And yourself?"

" My parents live in London, most of my relatives live in Europe except for a few stragglers over in America. I've only been there a few times, though. Visiting, mostly, " Dan said, stopping short as he realised he must have been rambling slightly. He stifled a yawn and then asked, " What else would you like to know? "

"Everything..." Keagan trailed off, her eyes now closed. Reflexively snuggling her head in closer against Dan's shoulder, she continued. "What's your favorite candy?" Anything having to do with food was a good conversation starter. Keagan had yet to meet anyone who didn't take at least a mild interest in food. What wasn't to love about it? The thought of it made Keagan lick her lower lip.

" Everything? That might take a while... " Dan said, a smile flickering across his tired features. " Hmm, candy. Drooble's, Berty Bott's, and.... I don't know. There are so many choices. " He went on with a laugh to himself. Well, Keagan too as she was snuggled in his shoulder. " What about you, any favorites? " Of course she had to have a favorite candy... It might be inhuman if someone didn't like at least one type of candy, if not even more.

"It might take a while, but you said you weren't leaving." With this, Keagan's eyes popped open, but she made no other efforts to move. "And as for candy, I like a bit of anything and everything. But my all-time favorite would have to be..." She trailed off at the end of this statement as she thought about exactly what that favorite candy was. If she was going to make a sure statement about her favorite candy, she wanted to make sure it was just that. "Ah-ha. Yep. Chocolate frogs. Yum."

Dan laughed then replied, " Don't they freak you out a bit? " He remembered once when he was about three he had been given a chocolate frog and it had scared him. He smiled as he remembered throwing the frog away from him. Really, when you're that little how can you fathom eating something that jumps? Especially when it started to melt... It was a mess but still fun nonetheless. " And I'm not leaving, " Dan added in. He couldn't. Even if he had wanted to, which he didn't.

"Well, if having eleven toes isn't going to freak me out, do you think having moving candy would?" Keagan giggled and smirked. "That and I never tried one until I came overseas. I was more involved with muggle items in the States." Keagan remembered having feared forgetting home when she came to Hogwarts. The amount of joy she felt at being able to recall little things could be read on her sleepy yet pleased features.

" Oh, well I tried my first when I was three. " Dan said then breathed," Wasn't a pretty sight, let me tell you that. " He laughed softly then looked down to Keagan, she looked pleased with herself. Dan didn't question but meerly shrugged. " What kind of muggle items? " He asked, having never really been in a muggle culture for a long period of time.

"Muggle food, clothing, entertainment..." Weapons she thought, vaguely remembering the shooting her third year. That was one thing she was glad she wasn't around to witness. "I used to love Snickers. And movie theatres. I still visit those over the summer." Dan's shrug had displaced Keagan's head slightly, so she had repositioned so she was looking at him instead of the fire. "Some people believe the best films are released over the summer."

" Really? " Dan said after Keagan had repositioned herself and he looked back to her. " Hmm... Snickers. " He joked with her and then said, " I've only been to a movie Theater once before. I went with my cousins in California, we also brought along their friends who were really wierded out because they're muggles. What movies do you like? " He asked, changing the subject from him to Keagan with a smile to her. He was curious because, being so wizard life oriented he hadn't seen too many movies.

"Comedies, mostly. I love to laugh. Sue me," Keagan laughed, sticking out her tongue at Dan playfully. "Action films are cool because I find them funny." She always cracked up everytime she saw Arnold Schwarzenegger say I'll be back! She giggled now just thinking about it. "What movie did you see?" Keag asked with a poke to Dan's side. It would be great fun for her to discover if Dan was ticklish.
