The chances of me getting a turkey the size of Rogers over Thanksgiving is high.

Everyone not American might not get it. But history aside, a turkey the size of non-muscular Gryffindors is really the only reason to celebrate the day.

Please tell me I'm not the only one looking forward to edible monster birds?

Tradition, in America. We give thanks for the native people for allowing the British to come over and exploit them and their land.

But for the most part it's families sitting around eating a roasted bird with yams, mash, and indigestion. Also, the Macey's parade. I've missed it ever year since coming here.

[brothor]

Americans are strange. Why is indigestion a tradition?

[arrogantalloy]

Because we eat, and eat, and eat. To leave a thanksgiving dinner without groaning from being full is bad manners.

[brothor]

That is a strange thing to consider bad manners. In any case, I should like to celebrate such a day, even if I am not American.

[arrogantalloy]

Means you don't think the person who cooked it is actually a good enough cook.

Well hey, if you want, I can talk to Mercer. Put in a word for you. You know if I happen to be feeling generous. I mean, Steve, Bruce and I will already be there.

[brothor]

But if you ate enough to suffer for it, it must have been a most pleasing meal!

Are you certain you would like me there, Stark?

[arrogantalloy]

Oh yeah. They're really amazing meals.

I invited you, why would I invite you if I wasn't certain.

[brothor]

Then I suppose it is worth the sacrifice.

Because you are fickle? I do not know.

[arrogantalloy]

Very worth it.

Yeah, not as fickle as you think. There's a difference between easily distracted and fickle.

[brothor]

Alright. If you are fine with me coming then I will join you. Should I bring anything?

[arrogantalloy]

Just you and your appetite. So, shouldn't be hard for you.

[brothor]

Not at all! Though it will be difficult if I attempt to skip a meal so as to enjoy this one more.

[arrogantalloy]

Steal a scone to tide you over.

[brothor]

That is a most excellent idea! Perhaps you truly are a genius!!

[arrogantalloy]

Good to see you're finally noticing. Only took four years. But hey, you noticed.

[brothor]

You finally gave me a reason to!

[arrogantalloy]

You think you're really cute, don't you? Right now I mean.

[brothor]

Cute is not a word I would use to describe myself in any situation, no.

[arrogantalloy]

In this instance it means 'funny' more than it does as actually cute.

[brothor]

Then why did you not say funny? Cute is a creepy word to use. You are being creepy. Perhaps you are not a genius.

[arrogantalloy]

Because you're the cute kind of funny. Like a basset hound puppy falling over it's ears while running. You laugh, but then go 'd'aaaw'.

[brothor]

You are making me feel uncomfortable.

[arrogantalloy]

Now you know how I feel around you sometimes.

[brothor]

I have never implied that you are attractive to me in any manner. Or as endearing as puppies tend to be.
