*her eyes look fever-bright*

Oh, well done!

nex_colubra February 14 2007, 16:43:10 UTC

*wide grin*

Thank you!

It was a pleasure.

viridigitus February 14 2007, 17:11:54 UTC

I imagine it was. A trifle over-the-top for my tastes but you'll certainly get their attention. It shall be interesting to see what you can achieve when provided with means of indirect and widerspread action.

nex_colubra February 14 2007, 17:27:56 UTC

*growls*

I hope it does get their attention. That was the point after all.

Well...the main point anyway.

*eyes burn malevolently*

I can't wait!

viridigitus February 14 2007, 17:37:47 UTC

*becomes curious*
Oh? And the other, minor point?

And, alas, you shall have to. I'm not cutting anything short over here for the sake of some fun. A Lestrange having to exercise patience... intriguing.
*chuckles*

*gives her a direct look*

*flatly*

I enjoyed it.

*tilts his head*

Pity. Still, we all do what we must.

*shrugs*

Some things are worth waiting for. *grins* But I did say 'can't'.

viridigitus February 14 2007, 17:55:57 UTC

*returns his direct look with a cool one*
Did I say you couldn't? We all find distractions where we can. That you find enjoyment in providing a service to the species is hardly a bad thing.

Must?
*thinks about this for a moment*
You could put it that way if you like. It's simply a natural conclusion to my studies.

I have the suspicion you won't be pausing in your work long with a reply like that.

nex_colubra February 14 2007, 18:56:48 UTC

I didn't ask.

*fiercely*

It wasn't a distraction! I'm making a point!

And mine is a natural extension of my abilities.

Not at all. Now that I can apparate; life is so much simpler.

He desperately wants to tell everyone why he did this, but he knows he can't! :/

viridigitus February 14 2007, 19:28:37 UTC

Hmph. As you've said, repeatedly. There is nothing wrong with multi-tasking though. It sounds as if you do need a distraction, one should not get so riled up over little things such as wording.

That book I promised is on its way now, when you get it owl me what you want. Or better yet, since you can Apparate, come visit me in London - I've a break in a fortnight - and I'll give them to you in person.

nex_colubra February 14 2007, 21:11:18 UTC

*mutters sullenly*

Sorry.

What would you suggest as a distraction then? *makes a face* One that doesn't involve studying please!

*brightens a bit*

Thank you. I'm sure it will be very informative.

*ponders*

London in two weeks? I might not be able to get away from school. Unless it's at night.

viridigitus February 14 2007, 21:31:25 UTC

*nods slightly*
Thank you.

The whole point of finding a distraction is it's something that you enjoy. I happen to like studying. Try Quidditch, Gobstones, or seeing how many Hufflepuffs you can hex before anyone notices; you know, the usual.

I've a very important meeting on the first Wednesday, and various people to see. One night will be fine, I'm not one for usual student social activites, so I'll be free for most of them. Say Friday the 1st? I'll have had my meeting by then and I may have good news.

nex_colubra February 15 2007, 16:49:44 UTC

*stiff nod*

*gives a bemused snort*

I'm afraid the Hufflepuffs are all on guard against me. Maybe I'll terrorise Professor Kettlebrun's salamanders.

Friday the first sounds good. I'm sorry I can't give you an exact time. It'll be quite late though. I hope that's all right?

*brightens*

Good news? Then I'll look forward to the first even more.

viridigitus February 15 2007, 17:42:22 UTC

*she gives a huff of amusement*
What did you do to make them do that then? Hmm... first muggles, then salamanders; you really do have a thing against animals, don't you?

I'll be around; I've got nothing planned for the next day anyway. I'll be around the Apothecary most likely, one of the Masters here asked me to drop something off for them and the owner could talk the ear off of a pegasus.

Good news if *she touches her head* ,touch wood, everything at the meeting goes to plan. I may have some... employment when I move back to England.

nex_colubra February 15 2007, 21:58:03 UTC

*sly grin*

Oh nothing much. Just a little joke with an itching potion in their laundry.

*indifferent shrug*

I suppose I do. It's just that there are so many of them, they're easy prey.

The first it is then and I do indeed look forward to our meeting.

Best of luck with your meeting. *bows*

viridigitus February 15 2007, 22:06:27 UTC

Thank you, and I shall see you then.

*dips her head in return*
