The look on her face read everything. He didn’t tell her about his time at Durmstrang, at least, not enough for her to know of his time playing question. Maybe there were other things he didn’t tell her. The idea made Trenton’s eyebrow quirk in the direction as Parminder said that there wasn’t anything he could do. The banter between the two was fun and it made him smile, his bright white teeth spreading across his face as his blue eyes bounced back and forth from one person to another. 

“Annoyingly humble huh?” Trenton repeated as Eric finished sharing the story about her finding the Umbra, who he happened to know on a somewhat personal basis and she was the one who tracked them down. That was impressive. By a personal level, he had worked with them once or twice; a good portion of them were annoying stuck up snobs who insisted on doing things their way; and that’s most likely why they were caught. Listen to the quieter people, they always know more and have better ideas than the loud people. 

“Your [i]job[/i] is something honorable and you should not only take pride in it but you should also take compliments.” He said in a joking fashion, unable to shake the smile off of his face as his eyes twinkled at her. “Compliments are even harder to come by these days, especially honest ones like you’re receiving from everyone here at the table.” Isn’t it funny to hear someone in his seat to call someone in her job honorable? Well it’s simple. Without order there can be no chaos and there’s rules that must be followed. Trenton knew better than to attack an Auror and members of the Ministry, they were not what his job was. His job was control and, believe it or not, it doesn’t always come with killing people.

“Trenton, how do you know Mister Gigliotti?” Morgania asked as she took up her wine glass and sipped, her eyes searching the young man’s face but the very obvious thought pattern had nothing to do with what she was asking. Her mind was digging deeper into the possibilities of what could have happened between the two of them if she was younger.

The young man’s eyes dropped slightly, sadness following into them as he remembered the first time he had met the old man. “I had just graduated Durmstrang…” He began. “I came home from school to find my parents dead in their bed. My home was destroyed from head to toe, things were stolen, everything was broken and I had no choice but to run in fear because I thought someone would come back to finish the job of my family.” A small shrug lifted his shoulders but his gaze stayed on the table as he shared his true story. He didn’t have an issue talking about it but it still… as you can imagine, was a tender subject. “The first two years of my life I spent living on the streets, partaking in street fighting and magical dueling to make money. I went into a bar that Mister Gigliotti owned and ended up being involved in a bar fight. I beat up one of his best fighters and he asked me if I was looking for a job. Soon after he employed me as a bouncer for the bar and I’ve been doing odds and ends for him ever since. He helped get me off the streets and gave me money so I could live.” His eyes turned upwards to see the sorrow and apology in the faces of the table and he gave a shrug. “I’ve learned to live life and just enjoy it. There’s no point in lingering and no point in dwelling on the past when you can’t change it. You just need to make a better future right?”

“Why aren’t you an Auror?” Mister Bernard asked bluntly; the type of story that Trenton shared it typically the story drives someone to become an Auror.

“I appreciate all Aurors do, but as a loyal citizen I want to work to help make the city a better place from the inside outwards while the Aurors work from the outside in. Somewhere we’ll meet in the middle and chaos will subside. At least, that’s my hope.”

“That’s very noble of you son. No one really considers working from the inside to clean things up because the little things do affect the big picture as well.”

“Plus.” Trenton added with a grin. “We have an example of two amazing Aurors keeping the big picture safe and under control at the table here with us.” With that he turned his blue gaze to the two with a small nod of his head. “Thank you two for all your hard work and keeping all of us safe. We truly appreciate it.” At his comment the other two at the table nodded towards the Aurors, acknowledging them for their work.
