"You've reached the fabulous High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane. If it's important, leave your name and number and I'll get back to you. If it's not, then stop wasting my time."
Eventually? You know how long I went without your company here?
[there's actually a little thread of annoyance there - she's missed him. And more than that, she doesn't actually have any friends. Not really. Just a few of them, but none like him..]
[ There's a pause here where he opens his mouth then lets it fall back shut. He's used to people coming and going in his life. Sometimes he forgets that not everyone is. ]
I'm sorry. [ He glances downwards briefly. ] I haven't been playing the role of a friend very well, have I?

[ Now it's his turn to sigh. Or huff. It's closer to a huff, really. ] I said I was sorry, didn't I? Take it or leave it, I don't apologize often.
[ It's not that easy, he wants to say, but he knows it isn't really that hard, either. He's making it more difficult than it needs to be. ] I don't feel like it is. He's your brother, and you're close. That means something.
Fine. You're forgiven. [she rolls her eyes again, pursing her mouth.
[This isn't going nearly the way she wants it to, and she's more inclined to just hang up and let him go back to his sulking on his own.] I'm close with you, too. Or I thought I was.
Whatever. [she just sighs again, glancing aside as she flutters one hand.] You know where I am if you want me for anything. I haven't moved.
[ Don't hang up is where that's going, because he's honestly afraid that's what she's about to do. He's tired of drinking alone (and even sort of tired of this constant buzz he's managed to keep up), and his cat actually doesn't make for very good company.
After a second of frowning at nothing in particular, he lets out the slightest of sighs and looks at the Forge. ] Would you like to come over? I can snap us up some ice cream. Any flavor you want.
[she was debating it. Mostly because he seems to be in such a fabulous mood, she's not sure she wants to drag her own down to his level. Not that it hasn't already basically happened. Her mouth is still pursed unhappily when she flicks her gaze back up to the camera.]
Something ridiculously chocolatey. This place is totally missing out, you know. I can't believe how the lack of technology affected things.
[that's a yes, by the way. Her expression softens a little, but she still doesn't look totally happy. Resigned, more like.]
[ A small smile is thrown her way now. It's a grateful one, really. He's been acting like an ass, and he knows it. Nothing he's been doing has been fair, so he appreiciates the cooperation he doesn't actually deserve. ]
A lack of chocolate? We should shoot them.
[ He's already getting to his feet, walking towards the kitchen where he can magic up the proper supplies. ]
The water thing has never been a problem for me. The perks of being a warlock, I suppose. [ He sideeyes her. ] You're welcome to use my shower anytime.
[ That smile has him relaxing a bit, because it means she's not quite as angry with him as she'd been before. ]

[ Just he and your brother. In which things have changed so inexplicably, he isn't sure what to do besides drink. ]

No. Not really. It's sort of funny how some people need those every now and then. Friends.
Our friendship is totally separate from everything you have with Alec, you know.

I'll see you soon then?

[her thumb hovers over the end button, and she manages a little half-smile.]
Yeah. I'll be there. Just give me a few to wrap this up and come by.

[ That smile has him relaxing a bit, because it means she's not quite as angry with him as she'd been before. ]
Okay. Can't wait.

[seriously. She will. It'll be awesome.]
See you soon, Magnus.

[ This is said with a dazzling grin.
At that, he gives a small nod, then ends the feed. ]
