To anyone who might have heard about my brother Phineas' unfortunate accident and subsequent stay in hospital, mother has informed me that he's perfectly fine now. I'm sure all of those whose lives he has touched with his generosity and gentleness of spirit will be very relieved.

[The sarcasm, it's dripping off the page]

This year is turning out to be rather interesting already, I must say. Magical Languages looks as if it's going to be... enlightening.




Also, I found a copy of Spellman's Syllabary stuck between two chairs in the common room. There's no name in it. I believe I may keep it if no one claims it, so if it's yours, do speak up.

Yeah that sounds pretty fucking inconsiderate of him. I dunno, I would've probably staged an accident.

[rule_britannia]

As much as I dislike him, it would cause my parents far too much distress should he suddenly expire.

Alas, the things we tolerate for the sake of keeping the peace.

[cantfightthisfire]

Some things are worth fucking peace up the ass for.

[rule_britannia]

I really do admire your view on the world at times, Marina.

[cantfightthisfire]

And other times you probably just wanna tell me to shut the fuck up like everybody else.

It's a fine line.

[rule_britannia]

Very fine indeed, but I believe I've just about perfected the precarious balancing act of remaining within the borders of your tolerance.

[cantfightthisfire]

Oh good, less work for me then.

[rule_britannia]

I'd hardly want to endanger my position now I've managed to achieve it. You have one of the meanest right hooks I've ever seen.

[cantfightthisfire]

Oh, have I punched you before? I'm losing track, to be honest.

[rule_britannia]

Not me personally, but you punched William once. He probably had it coming if I'm perfectly honest. Took three weeks for the black eye to fade.

[cantfightthisfire]

Fuck, I wasn't up to my usual standards. It should've been at least four.

[rule_britannia]

It was rather impressive, regardless.

[cantfightthisfire]

Alright spill it. The flattery is nice and everything, but what the hell do you actually want out of it?

[rule_britannia]

What?

I'm making conversation.
