il che cambia del marea

[blaising_fury]

I was just reading a book -- for I am one who does indeed enjoy the act of reading in my free time. I dozed off for but a second, as I occasionally do at this time of the evening, and the book fell from my hands to the floor. As I bent over to pick it up, I noticed that the book was more or less the exact same shape and size as the stone in the

There's worse things he could say... I guess.

[blaising_fury]

To whom are you referring? My Father, or Mister Filch?

[shutterbugaboo]

Filch. I don't know your father.

[blaising_fury]

But you know Filch well?

I should think you would dislike my Father, given his reluctant views on the matter of change. Clearly you are one who believes in change, in altering the so-called order of things.

[shutterbugaboo]

Just that he's lonely. Don't you think it's bad to be lonely?

I don't care about the order of things. If you need to change something... then sometimes you need to.

[blaising_fury]

I have five older brothers. The concept of loneliness is alien to me, and yet not entirely off-putting.

Regardless of the consequences it may have for others?

[shutterbugaboo]

No. Not ever regardless. I'm not some dog... jerk... guy. I usually don't want bad things to happen to anybody.

Are bad things happening? Or going to happen?

[blaising_fury]

You don't want bad things for others, but you want good things for yourself more.

Bad things happen in general, do they not? I am not a practitioner of Divination.

[shutterbugaboo]

I didn't say that.

I'm not asking about the next dumb quidditch match. I'm asking if you are going to try to beat my face and/or body.

[blaising_fury]

Beat your face and/or body? I think I would have done that by now, if I were going to. The thought crossed my mind briefly, but I am not really in a position to issue judgement.

I am, however, surprised you are asking this now, in what can only be described as a rather belated fashion.

[shutterbugaboo]

Hang on for just a tick, most beautiful girl on Earth, I need to go ask your boyfriend something...

[blaising_fury]

I do see your point.

I do not know whether to be impressed or irritated by your accomplishments. But then I think I may be allowed to be both.

[shutterbugaboo]

I don't understand. They aren't accomplishments like ones in a trophy case. Isn't this sort of thing supposed to just... happen when you love someone?

[blaising_fury]

Look at where you were a year ago. Did you ever conceive of such a thing happening? You already loved her then, didn't you?

[shutterbugaboo]

Yes... I didn't think anything would happen, I just said what I... or did-

Isn't it a bit off to be talking about this?

[blaising_fury]

You are uncomfortable? We can talk about something else, if there is anything to talk about.
