[Garrett has not figured out how to use the datapad yet; the thing has accidentally turn on as he wobbles it around in the air using the Force. Floating in midair as it is, you get a shaky shot of our prince sitting on the edge of his bed, elbows on his knees and hands fisting in his hair]

It's just a bloody door.

It's not. You know it's not.

[ Tonks should not meddle and be nosy. That doesn't mean she won't. ]

So who is she and why did she tell you to stay?

[video]

[misterhotpants]

[He shrugs easily, giving her a little half smile] My friend. She's a slave driver, I tell you. Not a slave, not--

I have to say, I've never seen a lady with hair of such a lovely shade. Might I have your name?

[video]

[imwotchingyou]

Oh, I know a few people like that. I think most of them could just do with a bit of a holiday though.

[ Tonks smiles. She can appreciate that he appreciates the color lavender. It's a good color. ]

I'm Tonks. Who're you?

[video]

[misterhotpants]

Oh - she's not that bad, really. Just takes some getting used to. She's not tying me to trees any more, at least. That was an uncomfortable experience.

A pleasure to meet you, milady. [she's gets a bow, and a smirk that shows he's aware it's a ridiculous thing to do] I'm new. Well - people tend to call me Garrett, actually, when they're trying to be polite. I occasionally go by such titles as 'jackass', 'selfish prick' and on one memorable occasion, 'horselover'. The last of which is not actually true, I assure you.

What's so uncomfortable about getting into trees? Do some of yours hit back too?

[ It is a perfectly valid question. The Whomping Willow gives better than it gets. ]

That's cute.

[ She likes it. He has showmanship. ]

Wotcher Garrett and if we're exchanging titles, I'm known as clumsy, klutzy and sometimes obnoxious. I can promise you, they've all been true at least once.

The part about being tied there, mostly. Shelby wasn't terrible friendly when we first met. She's not terribly friendly now, but that's - okay, it's different, Enu why am I hearing myself think this is ridiculous. Balls, you probably heard all of that, didn't you? [sighing dramatically, and then looking thoughtful] You know, I don't actually think I have ever come across a tree that hits back. My luck appears to be on the upswing, for once! Give it a few days, you'll probably see me running through the streets with a forest at my back.

Oh, come now. Cute? That was worth at least an adorable, or perhaps stunningly handsome. Suave? I have more synonyms where those came from, believe me. [He is not taking himself seriously at all here] What would life be without a little obnoxiousness? It adds character. I must have enough character to create an epic poem, at this point.

[imwotchingyou]

Oh, yeah. I definitely heard it all including the bits about being tied to a tree, your friend Shelby not being very friendly but still isn't and soon you'll be chased through the streets by a bunch of angry trees. I have to say Garrett, you sound pretty interesting.

[ Tonks continues to grin. ]

Yeah, just cute. I'm afraid suave doesn't translate well over the video feed. You'll have to show me in person one time.

[ Don't worry, neither is she. ]

Character's not enough, I'm afraid. Have you ever tickled a sleeping dragon? They write epic poems about that, I think.

[video]

[misterhotpants]

Interesting? Well, I must admit, I've been called worse things. You seem quite interesting yourself, milady Tonks.

[A smile curves across his lips] I'd be honoured to have the change.

[and then he wrinkles his nose] I have, actually. It didn't turn out for me, lost another pair of shoes. Not that it really mattered, he would have gotten to them eventually.

[video]

[imwotchingyou]

Oh, I'm loads interesting. Unique, in fact.

I'm definitely willing to give you that chance. There are a few places around without any trees.

[ Que? ]

You've actually tickled a sleeping dragon? How'd you get close enough? Do you work with them?

[video]

[misterhotpants]

Is that so? Doesn't surprise me in the slightest, really.

You know, I'd noticed that. From what I've seen, this place doesn't appear to have any trees - should I be concerned, do you think?

That damn thing sleeps - slept, I suppose - in our camp. I don't care if he saved us, he still ate my shoes.

[video]

[imwotchingyou]

It is, indeed, so.

No, I wouldn't be concerned but if you're feeling nostalgic I could find something to tie you up to. How do you feel about sculptures?

So he was a friendly dragon? Did he have a name?
