"No. My mum is a shrew and my dad likes to think he's superior to everyone around him with very few exceptions." He hoped he didn't come across as either his parents.

"I'm really excited to join your family," Astoria said slowly, offering him a small smile to show she was only teasing, even if timidly, "But you don't come across as either of those things."

It wasn't exactly a family that Graham would be chomping at the bit to join, but what could you do? "That's good. I worry about that sometimes." He admitted.

"How? I know you're not to everyone, but you've been nothing but sweet to me." Astoria pointed out.

"You know how I have to keep up appearances otherwise my parents throw a fit..." Graham paused a second to sigh. "It's easy to act like a jerk. It makes me wonder if it isn't just a natural thing."

Astoria frowned, reaching across the table for his hand again, "I don't think it is," She said, completely genuine, "You're caring - understanding, smart... you're more than the jerk they want you to be, even if that is a part of you."

"Cry me a river, right?" Graham gave Astoria's hand a little squeeze. He was acting like a little bitch worrying about if he was going to be like his parents.

Astoria shook her head, "Don't undermine your concerns. They're as valid as mine are and you always tell me I'm not being silly."

Graham opened his mouth to protest, to say that it was different, but it wasn't. "You're right." He conceded instead.

"I have to be, once in a while" Astoria pointed out, retracting her hand to take a small sip of her tea, which was now far too cold. "Can't get it right with this one."

"We could ask for some ice and make it worth your while." Graham offered. Astoria was having a hard time with that cup of tea.

"Ha ha ha" Astoria murmured, pouting at her cup as though it was at fault. "Maybe I should have just stuck to one."

"Maybe, but then you would have missed out on some very important stuff." Graham couldn't help but still be slightly flippant about his over sharing.

"I could have stayed without another cup of tea," Astoria pointed out, "But you're right, I would never pass up a chance to learn more about you."

In the back of his mind Graham had that nagging feeling that if Astoria learned everything about him she might not be so fond, but what could you do? He wasn't going to lie to her about things. "Anything else you want to know?"
