We. The word subconsciously soothed him.

"Right," he nodded, as if it were obvious all along. "Well, then I guess we go meet her..."

Kyle had arranged neutral territory for them to meet: A nice restaurant in Hogsmeade.

Mori let him lead her to wherever they were going to meet his mother. She was a little bit nervous and she didn't know why.

He nodded, not fully believing her.

Wiping his hand off nonchalantly on his pant leg, he reached for her hand, which he grasped tightly before pushing open the door and walking boldly inside.

His mother was sitting at a small four-person table to their left, and he guided Mori to there, unsure of how to greet the woman.

"Kyle," she rose, obviously happy to see him. "And this must be Mori. It's a pleasure to see you both. Sit down, sit down."

Kyle was instantly comforted by the fact that she hadn't requested hugs or kisses, but he was still feeling awkward as he pulled out Mori's chair.
