Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ah... so she was a single mother... at least... he thought she was single. She hadn't mentioned a male in her life currently. "Eh, it was bound to happen, right?" he asked, alluding slightly to her storied past. Luckily, he'd managed to keep away from that accident... or at least, he thought he had. If he'd produced any children, he wasn't aware of it. He closed his notebook, leaving his pen in the page. "So, other than baby, how've you been? Still into the Quidditch scene?" He hadn't heard about her playing, so he wondered if she'd given it up or was simply biding her time. Bringing his mug to his lips, he sipped at the sweet tea, savoring the under taste of the Irish creme in it. Who said he couldn't have a n** of alcohol in his tea?

He nodded along as she mentioned bumping into a chap named James. Kee remembered the kid... although now he was a grown man. When asked about his music, he indicated the notebook. At school, he was always seen carrying a notebook around, which he wrote his lyrics in. Then, with a sigh, he pushed one of the flyers towards Cyd. "Still writing lyrics, but the old band broke up. Like... a while ago. You remember that barfly Cora that hung around us. Well, she got between the band and wound up breaking us up. Then this and that happened, and I drive the Knight Bus now. But that's going to change. I feel it." He was determined to recruit a band. That way, he could leave the Knight Bus behind and go back to playing music. And, hopefully, make it a professional career.

The Gryffindor gave a small smirk and a nod when she mentioned one of the other Knight Bus drivers. "But yeah, Keith, the bassist, was apparently having a side relationship with her and Sticks caught her in his bed. Red handed. They brawled and we tried to stop 'em. After the fight, when tensions were high, the crazy bint made a pass at me. That really cheesed Sticks off and he cut it. Took off without a second word. And that was it. Bob's your uncle and they were all gone. And me, having dropped out to dedicate time to the band... Well, I was right pear shaped. Drifted for a bit before my brother took me in. Made me get a job and here I am." He shrugged and sighed. The baby in her arms seemed quite asleep, despite the noise of the lunch rush. Well, good on her. Maybe the baby would slow her life down a little and she'd become a normal adult. Kee could never see that happening to him. Then again, he usually sabotaged his relationships when they started getting serious.

Kee shrugged and made a displeased face when she said that it sucked his band broke up. Things happened, and now, hopefully, he'd be getting a new band. One that he wouldn't let a girl get in between. When asked if he had a girl in his life and if he lived here, he gestured towards the window. "The whole world is my home. I mostly avoid my flat because it's smaller than the Knight Bus. But yeah, I have a flat here in London. I share it with my roommate Mick Jagger. That's my dog," he said, for clarification. Of course he didn't live with the Muggle rock sensation. He chuckled, then killed his tea and Bailey's. Scratching the back of his neck, he said, "I'm... uh... in between women right now. I met this one girl in a bar a couple nights ago, but I don't think I'm going to ring her back. Not much personality, ya know?" In truth, she seemed like the type to prefer something long term, and Kee wasn't sure he was ready for that. With a sigh, he looked back to her. "How about you? Are you... 'with' the father? Or did you run off and get married already?"

Kee watched the girl with a quirked eyebrow, trying to imagine what a screaming baby would be like. The worst he had to deal with was Mick Jagger's farts in the middle of the night. When she talked about being with the father, he shrugged. "Well, do you want something with him? You never were one to settle down, after all." He shrugged again and flipped open his notebook, scrawling something on a new page. This conversation was inspiring a new song idea in his brain.

The rock star Gryffindor frowned slightly, then shrugged and sighed. "Well, good on you then. I... Well, I don't think that someone like that is going to come into my life." He always saw himself as someone who would observe people in love and lust for that, then when presented with the opportunity, pass it over. He was afraid of commitment and that prevented him from getting into a serious relationship. "You're still going to have to come to my shows... If I can ever get a band together." He chuckled, trying to dissolve the perceived tension in the room.

When she mentioned coming to her games, the Gryffindor chuckled. She'd said that she had spoken to the captain and was confident that she'd make the team. So he figured it was already a done deal. "Deal. I think I can work some time out of my busy schedule," he said with a chuckle. Aside from writing songs and driving a bus, he did jack with his time. Looking around, he made eye contact with a waitress and motioned to his beverage, quietly requesting another.

Keegan chuckled along with the woman when she mentioned his oh-so-busy schedule and made a pun in it. When the baby started to wiggle, he watched it like an animal trainer watching a rabid animal. And when she asked if he wanted to hold the baby, he looked less than enthused. "I think I'll pass. I don't really... hold... babies. Ya know, it's just... Not my thing. Nothing against the baby." He shrugged and picked up his pen, going back to the song he was working on. Another idea had popped into his head and he wanted to jot that idea down before it flitted away.
