Pursue one great decisive aim ...

[benjamin_caliga]

It had been months since he’d purchased Borgin and Burke’s with the intention to return the shoppe to its former glory. At first it had been a rash decision, something he’d done out of impulse shortly after his grandfather’s death, but as time had passed Benjamin realized that even if he hadn’t known it at the time, he’d had a plan.

Plans were

a) there's something innately sexy about a man who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. quick, efficient and skillful.

b) on the other hand, he needs to learn how to loosen up.

This was a great introductory scene! I'm excited to see where you go with him. I think I need to make some excuses for my characters to visit B&B :D

a) Benjamin doesn't know anything else but quick, efficient and skillful. Luckily his skills do not begin and end at acquiring antiquities...

b) This is loosened. He was running late!

Thanks, doll! He's very talkative thinkative in my head presently. There are several of your characters that would probably enjoy B&B... *grin*

Cassie's looking forward to meeting him. She likes shopping in Knockturn.

Ben thinks the jewelry B&B offers might be a little dark for her, but then again, he only met her passingly in school.

a) does he take time to do anything else? He sounds all business, all the time.

b) Uh huh. Sure.

I can think of a few :D

[benjamin_caliga]

a) his hobbies are wide and varied, they're just personal and private. ((he reads, a lot. and he likes to build things with his hands. And he runs. Nothing which he'd tell anyone, of course.)) He's a firm believer that when you're on a job, you're on the job, thus the professional nature.

I want to see Mira wander down into Knockturn and have something happen. That wouldn't give Harry apoplexy at all, noooo...

a) Now we're getting somewhere. Reading, running and hands-on activities ... my head is having all kinds of fun with that last one XD

HAHAHA!! The idea of that is just... *gigglecackles* I don't know if anyone's nerves could take it.

[benjamin_caliga]

*snort* Your head is dirty :)

Mira in Knockturn with Harry getting all angry!protective? Yeah. Yeah.

[elle_blessing]

Yes, yes it is :D (you say this as if it's a surprise XD)

*snickers* and yet does Harry know why he feels that way? Probably not? (or maybe "she's my friend. MY FRIEND. BACK OFF." ... reminiscent of Capslock!Harry in OotP XD)

*GIGGLES* Woo! :D

The boy's oblivious feelings are oblivious

THIS IS SO TRUE. Poor thing. Really.

Also, *CACKLES* Yes, that. XD
