Richard smiled softly as Briony curled up against him a little more and relaxed a lot more when he was stroking her hair. It had always been a source of relaxation for the both of them and they both enjoyed it immensely, especially Briony. When the boy, Vincent, moved over to curl up to Ingrid, looking rather miserable, Richard frowned slightly before it occured to him. He nodded a little in understanding and stopped playing with Briony's hair when she moved over to comfort the boy.
He truly hadn't meant to hurt the poor boy's feelings but he had already toned down his expressions of love for Briony because of the presense of children. Seeing the harsh look Briony sent his way, Richard was a little confused. The boy's feelings were hurt, that much was obvious, but it was not through any deliberate action or inaction of Richard's part. Was he supposed to stop acting like he was married to the woman he loved when in the presense of her new apprentice, merely to spare the boy's feelings? He supposed that must be the case. It didn't really matter to him if he did have to tone down his displays of affection with Vincent in the room because he loved Briony and he knew that their love didn't need constant displays to be strong so he raised his hands a little in a placating manner and looked apologetic. It wasn't hard, he was sorry he'd hurt the boy's feelings after all.
Richard turned his attention to Ingrid and held out his hand for her to take with a small smile,
"How are you Ingrid?" he asked her quietly, "You and your grandfather been keeping well since I last saw you?"
Touching her hand lightly with his own, Richard used some wandless magic and began to read through the information the spell gave him. It took a hell of a lot of concentration and thinking power to process the chemical results of every cell in her body and then convert it to usable data. But after a few seconds, where his eyes briefly rolled up into the back of his head, he had a brief overview of her body's condition. He smiled a little more at her,
"Would you like to visit me in my office sometime Ingrid?" he asked her warmly, "I'd like to see how you are settling in after all."
He glanced at the other two students in the room, the new arrival and Vincent, who was still being soothed by Briony,
"Just thought I'd point out that my office is always open." he smiled briefly at the two of them as well, "If you want support or just to talk then you just walk right in okay? Might be able to help you with your assignments for Transfiguration if you want extra tutoring."
