We've a brief respite in the lull between afternoon and evening guests.

As your mother said, we're both quite struck by the man you are becoming, and quickly at that. It has been our great privilege to encourage you in a number of directions as you determine how you'll contribute as a fully-fledged wizard in your own right. I look forward to growing to know you as one man to another, as well as father to son.

(Don't mind your mother overmuch, either! You'll recall she enjoys teasing you about anything masculine. Trying to gauge just how much you've grown, no doubt!)
