[[Very, very unhackable, except maybe a tiny bit to Harry]]

There was one chance in a hundred that it wouldn't come to this. If it hasn't, no matter -- it soon will. He knows it, whether or not she had the maturity to understand what she's getting herself into. Has he even the slightest conception of the future it will rob her of? The lifestyle

Eh? Your skull's being used as a shovel?! Are you okay?

[bobthewizard]

*dryly* Oh, I'm excellently well. It is, however, a powerful magical object and under my guard, so I have to make sure it isn't used for the wrong purpose....

..and digging crabs out of the sand is definitely the wrong purpose.

[shinigamiblonde]

I can imagine.

...How did you get to a beach in the first place? *never really thought before where teachers went during the summer*

[bobthewizard]

*smoothly* A transportation accident. As I'm here, I decided I might as well enjoy it.

[shinigamiblonde]

Really? Lucky! Is it fun? Apart from the shovelling, I mean.

[bobthewizard]

Yes, in fact... *voice reflects some of his wonder at the long, shining beach* ..I don't remember when I was last in such a beautiful environment.

[shinigamiblonde]

That's great- if anyone's earned a good vacation, you have!

Oh, you should come see the Liverpool waterfront sometime! It's beautiful at night~

[bobthewizard]

That's a sweet thing to say.

Is it? I haven't been to Liverpool in... must have been over a century now.

[shinigamiblonde]

It's true!

Yeah! *nods* All the lights in the buildings reflect in the water, and everything glows. *dreamy sigh*

[bobthewizard]

*smiles*

That does sound like a picture out of a dream. I'll have to make my way to the vicinity at some point -- perhaps even this summer.

[shinigamiblonde]

Really? Let me know when you do, okay?

[bobthewizard]

I shall. In the meantime, do enjoy yourself.

[shinigamiblonde]

Yes, you too!
