[ She's on her way to work herself! Tonks almost runs into Andromeda when they both have their head down for a moment. She's looking at her comm when she lifts her head at just the right moment. ]

Mum!

[ Tonks stops dead in her tracks, like a deer in headlights. Collision narrowly averted or not? ]

[Very narrowly, fortunately.]

Oh, Nymphadora! I almost spilled my coffee all over you.

[In fact, she did manage to splash some over the edge of the to-go cup and on to the floor, but not onto her daughter.]

I was thinking of running over to your place tonight, dear. Did you get the other girls' opinions on the housing options?

Thank Merlin I looked up. That would've been painful.

[ Is this where she gets it from? ]

Yeah, I did. Luna adores the fixer-upper. Hermione doesn't seem to have much of a preference.

[Andromeda's clumsiness is more due to her desire to always be doing something with her hands than anything, but it's possible.]

Well, you know my opinion -- if she's willing to put the work into fixing it, I think it would be nice to have a -- customized flat.

Yeah, I know. I can see good points about both of them. With Luna, though, I think we might have to take the paintbrush away from her.

[She chuckles.]

Perhaps we can give her a few designated areas to paint while keeping her out of the ... common rooms.

Yeah. She can do her bedroom and maybe the upstairs hallway. Although, I'm not sure that'd really stop her.

Well, to be honest -- I'm sure it would be fine if she did the rest of the house, save for the bedrooms.

[She'd like somewhere to call her own.]

You could let me decorate your bedroom.

[Andromeda raises her eyebrow.]

I could....

It'd be a challenge to find the most garish shade of puce but if anyone's up for that sort of challenge, it's me.

[The liniest of linefaces.]

My favorite colour. How did you ever figure that one out?

Reply

fliesacomet260 October 5 2011, 01:12:37 UTC
Oh, just a lucky guess.

[ Tonks just grins. ]

What do you think about lime green for an accent color? They're sort of complimentary.

Reply

andromynous October 5 2011, 01:18:14 UTC
Only if the accents are extremely garish drawings of ... oh, I don't know -- dinosaurs.

Reply

fliesacomet260 October 5 2011, 04:32:06 UTC
No, don't be silly Mum. Dinosaurs are a bit childish.

[ A pause. ]

How d'you feel about lizards?

Reply

andromynous October 5 2011, 06:11:44 UTC
I think I'm contractually obligated as a former Slytherin to prefer snakes over lizards.

[She smirks.] We could do the walls in lime green and then put puce hippos all over.
