[Xavier Smith]

Xavier nodded appreciatively at the man's words. Though he was unable to relate to the recent events of his old schoolmate's life, he was able to imagine just exactly what had occupied the man's time as of late. If he remembered correctly Vaisey was betrothed early on in their Hogwarts days and most likely married not long after graduation. To be sure, the fact that his own father had not arranged something similar was quite the oddity.

"Yes, I know! It has indeed been too long," he started, unsure if he should go into detail about adventures. "I've just returned to town after many years of travel," he finished, deciding it was best for now to keep his words vague. That part of his life was over, at least for the foreseeable future, and it was time to get his head out of the clouds and to concentrate on more practical matters.

"Things have gone well since my return, though, I do have to admit, my father has been quite insistent that I find myself a wife and finally settle down," he chuckled, giving a slight roll of his eyes. "I swear with every owl he sends with my acceptance to this or that event, two more arrive! I'll be lucky if I make it out of this season with my feet attached after all the dancing I've done."
