Two weeks at home.

Two weeks managing to avoid getting a black eye.

It was nice while it lasted.

Bloody wankers.

That sounds like a marvellous dress code!

Consider it a promise.

[greenmoonrising]

Awesome, I'm saving this correspondence for future reference. Leave the pages in dad's safe and all that.

[rule_britannia]

That's probably for the best. I might forget.

[greenmoonrising]

And I have a bad habit of making my desk explode. Um, potion experiments.

... And just dropping things in general- Hey, do you think you'll still let me into the place after breaking a cup or two by accident?

[rule_britannia]

I won't even make you pay for them.

VIP pass, you know.

[greenmoonrising]

You're making me swoon, man. Promise me the cake won't be ridiculously sweet or rich, and you'll have me eating out of your hand.

[Cue series of scribbles and mini ink splatters as his hand jerks over the page.]

............ I'm not flirting, I swear.

[rule_britannia]

Oh dear lord.

I'd hate to see what you're like when you are flirting.

[greenmoonrising]

I don't flirt, I swear, I don't know how to flirt - that's Tony's thing. Ask the girls in your year, they've probably all been hit on by him.

... Right, so I've gone and made an ass of myself huh?

[rule_britannia]

Just a little bit.

That looked like flirting to me.

[greenmoonrising]

[More ink splatters as he flails in his chair.]

I swear I wasn't I just- I usually just respond like that as a joke- okay, a pretty bad joke but I swear

[Frantic scribbles all over the page.]

Sorry.

[rule_britannia]

Hahahaha.

It'll be our secret.

[greenmoonrising]

Thanks and uh yeah. Sorry. Word vomit, stupid things come out, maybe someone replaced my quill with a prank one again...

[rule_britannia]

You know what they say about bad workmen blaming their tools.

[greenmoonrising]

Hey, I know how to handle my tools

.................... I walked right into that one didn't I.

[rule_britannia]

You are making this too easy.

[greenmoonrising]

I don't get out much, does it show?

[rule_britannia]

I couldn't tell.

[greenmoonrising]

You're too kind.

[rule_britannia]

I'm not sure if that should be an insult or a compliment.

[greenmoonrising]

Whichever makes you feel more comfortable?

[rule_britannia]

They're both equally uncomfortable for different reasons.

[greenmoonrising]

Take it as a teasing joke then - neither a compliment or an insult.

[rule_britannia]

I suppose I can do that.

So, about this teashop...

[greenmoonrising]

Nothing but the finest brews. You'd better be importing your Chai directly from India and have those Chinese ones made of the little flowers that bloom in your cup when put in water.

[rule_britannia]

You know, maybe I won't be giving you that VIP pass after all.

Sounds like you'd make a better business partner.
