[The sounds of the clinic could be heard in the background. When Lily talks, there's a rasp in her voice from having been sick, though it's an improvement from the first couple of days there. It's still the voice of a London girl keeping positive with the only encouragement and support she could provide right now.]

Gooood day Adstring and Veles~❤

Don't bother. Your preference is none of my concern.

[Text] Lily should've known it's never that easy

[lystoxiquebise]

Now don't be like that. Civility and kind gestures can be good for anyone, on both sides of the act. That aside, couldn't you use a drink? Come on, reject my preference, but come for that at least.

[Text] Pretty much XD

[snarkypotions]

Did I strike you as someone who had any use for civility and kind gestures?

[Text] She'll be insistent, though! Kill 'em with kindness >:D

[lystoxiquebise]

Then come for the drink. Ignore the rest of it for that. These cocktails come with some of the most valued effects. Different for everyone, based on biological factors~

[Text] Snape refuses to be killed with kindness >|

[snarkypotions]

I have no desire to have drinks with you either.

[Text] Not like the kindness will bite~ (Bad joke. >.< )

[lystoxiquebise]

Then pretend I'm not there. It'll be quick, and after I'll stay out of your hair. You'll have your peace sooner than the cities separating.

You mad because of what I said? You were right about me projecting, but not about myself. It was just a product of frustration and a weak constitution. I lumped you in with an annoying roommate, and it wasn't fair.

Allow me to make something clear, Ms. Lily. I'm not refusing to meet with you because I am upset. I am refusing to meet with you simply because I don't make it a habit of wasting my time with silly little girls.

[Text]Her kindness despite the snark is probably jarring for him, too

[lystoxiquebise]

Silly little girl? I haven't been a little girl in a long time. Well, being serious all the time would lead to stress-related problems. If I didn't end up silly occasionally, life would be boring and I'd probably be deadly.

I can guarantee it'll be worth your time~ You were taking samples from the zombies, ya? I can provide one from someone who was attempting to be healed of the infection. It's very interesting. I was saving it for myself, but I could probably share...

[Text] He doesn't know how to deal with it

[snarkypotions]

[Stuck with the girl for a few hours in return for a sample or stay in the comfort of his own solitude? The idea of a sample was interesting, but then again, he had heard talk of someone being healed here. Perhaps if he was able to get a sample from him or her...]

Not interested.

[Text] Succumb~

[lystoxiquebise]

You aren't? There won't be any other samples like this with everything under control, though. Everyone's either healed or had died. This is from the attempts at healing conflicting with the virus. Somehow it's kept trying despite being taken from the body. Fascinating, really.

It's not like this'll take long. You're deciding not to be social, and I have other things to do today, too. An hour at most, and you can get more information on the virus from someone in Veles.

[Text] Never!

[snarkypotions]

Cut it down to five minutes and I'll consider it.

[Text] It's too late to resist!

[lystoxiquebise]

The drink might be a bit much for you in five minutes... Five minutes and we'll see where things go. If it takes longer to go over any information you want on the virus, then that's just how it ends up. You might get lucky and we'll finish faster than that.

[Imagine if Snape knew her former profession, and if she had said something about guys wanting to prolong the experience...]

[Text] It's never too late!

[snarkypotions]

I'm not drinking and I'm not asking you for any information. Give me the sample and say whatever it is that you wish to say in the alloted five minutes or manage without.

[Text] In some cases... true!

[lystoxiquebise]

Everything has a price. Respecting my culture enough to drink a small glass is a small one for the amount of knowledge this vial will give you. It's not like this is a sample you can get anywhere.

[Text] Unfortunately, Snape is incredibly stubborn.

[snarkypotions]

In that case, you may have your drink. Alone.

[Text] A problem they have in common!

[lystoxiquebise]

Are you really so full of pride that you can't do something so tiny for a sample that could provide you with what may very well be the key to unlocking the secrets? All you have to do is swig it down, so why against it?
