Stay in. It's too cold to go out.

[nolessthanseven]

Well, that depends on where you're going. Some of those places are pretty nice. Cozy.

But I get your point. So your place, then.

[highwarlock]

My place. Because I'm not stepping foot outside my apartment until I have to.

See you in a few?

[she clicks her tongue at him. That's a little depressing. But she can't exactly blame him there, for a variety of reasons.

[She's still not holding her breath that they're going to find anything tomorrow. Tonight is for getting over that feeling.]

See you in a few.

I hear you have brooms all charmed up.

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

Do you? [ Because he certainly hadn't spoken publicly about it. ] Who told you that?

voice; backdated

[alphaophiuchi]

Snape. I'm to collect them from you and test them to make sure they're not going to kill my players.

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

Oh, so you're the talented flying employee he was speaking of. Fantastic.

voice; backdated

[alphaophiuchi]

I am. He said I was talented, did he?

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

Something like that. The arena, then?

voice; backdated

[alphaophiuchi]

[he stifles a scoff.]

What's this about an arena?

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

He told me we'd be meeting at the arena.

voice; backdated

[alphaophiuchi]

All I got was 'call Magnus Bane', so I suppose we're meeting at the arena. You're going to oversee this testing period, I take it?

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

Yes, to assure that everything is working as properly as it should be.

voice; backdated

[alphaophiuchi]

And to fix it if it isn't?

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

If that happens to be the case, yes. Though the chances of something needing fixed is slim to none. And, as it goes, Slim has a train ticket out of town.

[alphaophiuchi]

[good thing Magnus can't see this eyeroll.]

Yes, I'm sure. Well, we shall see. When do you want to meet?

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

[ A very good thing. ]

Whenever you have time. You're the client. I match my schedule to fit yours.

voice; backdated

[alphaophiuchi]

[oh, he does enjoy that.]

All right. Let's say an hour from now, then. May as well get it under way.

voice; backdated

[highwarlock]

[ That makes one of them. ]

An hour, then. See you soon.

[hello, Magnus. It's your best friend Isabelle calling. Doesn't she look pretty?

[Yes, she's always pretty. It's sort of a thing.

[But that's not why she's called you today.

[No, today she has called you because she hasn't seen you in ages, and that's seriously a Big Fucking Problem.

[So you'll excuse the fact that she's not actually speaking. She just smiles at the camera a little - some sort of sadly amused, 'wow you're sort of dumb' expression - and then sighs heavily.]

[highwarlock]

[ What--

No stop. Stop looking at him like that and stop fucking--

Quit sighing. God dammit Isabelle. ]

May I help you with something? Or are you so hard pressed for entertainment around here that you've resorted to sighing at me?

[ Admittedly, she is pretty. But yeah, that's nothing new. ]

video;

[nolessthanseven]

Were you ever going to get in touch with me again? Or have things between us changed that much?

[she sounds so melodramatic. And now?

[Now, she looks like she's about to cry. Right down to that little tremble in her lip.

[Don't make the pretty girl cry, Magnus.]

[highwarlock]

[ Oh, he doesn't believe that act for a second. He's just going to raise a very unamused eyebrow. ]

I've been busy.

[ Busy sulking about your dumbface brother. ]

video;

[nolessthanseven]

[fine, she'll drop the act and roll her eyes.]

Busy. So that's a no.
