[the Forge comes on to show Draco who looks a little worse for wear. He's not really been sleeping and he looks more irritated than usual, which is saying something. He's twirling his wand in one hand as he stares at the open space around him. He's clearly in his bedroom which hasn't yet been decorated the way it deserves-- though this isn't the

Boring! Tell me, are you more used to say, nuclear holocaust? Zombie apocalypse? World War II? Because I suppose then in comparison a little madness and Mist would practically put you to sleep.

[in_leatherpants]

[he has no idea what any of those things are, so he's just going to shrug and do his very best to look like he's above all of this]

Obviously since I said that I was bloody bored, then that meant that I was bored. Who in Merlin's name are you, anyways?

[profanities]

Oh, see, I thought you were just pretending to have a pair of balls so you could boost your ego. Obviously I shouldn't be makin' unfounded assumptions. I'm Nathan, man, and don't tell anyone but I'm kind of a big deal.

[in_leatherpants]

You're a big deal? [he certainly doesn't believe that there can be anyone here who is worth more than nothing, even if he does flinch just a little when what is being said is pretty much true]

I'm a wizard, I don't need anything to boost my ego. I know exactly what I'm worth.

You can call me Malfoy.

[infidus]

You have a unique view on the definition of "boring."

As for potion ingredients, I suspect you'll need to scrounge around and find them yourself. This world isn't particularly adept in or inclined toward magic.

[in_leatherpants]

[he makes a rather sour face here and shrugs]

I'm bored. It'll take more than just mist to distract me from how stupid this sodding place is.

[a lie, but it makes him feel better and now his expression twists just a little more]

Aren't there people here who find the ingredients and then give them to people like me?

[infidus]

Presumably one could hire someone to do a thing like that. Assuming they would know what to look for.

Which I doubt.

[He smiles a little.]

Such a sour young man you are.

[in_leatherpants]

Hire someone who could very well be a half breed or a muggle? I think I'll pass on that. I would much prefer a house elf or something.

[a scowl]

Should I be dancing for joy and calling this sodding place brilliant, instead?

[brothercumface]

I don't think it's quite...boring, Mister.

[pausepause.]

Besides, it's gotta be a bit...better, right? You at least have your auntie here.

[in_leatherpants]

I'm bored, I'm pretty sure that means that it's boring [he scowls a little] it's not my problem that the other type of people here find it interesting.

Merlin knows that they don't need as much to stimulate their minds as someone like me.

[a pause and he shrugs a little with a sniff]

Obviously having my aunt here makes this place livable.

[brothercumface]

[bored, yet livable. sounds pretty comfortable as far as she's concerned.]

Maybe - ah. You could find a hobby.

[in_leatherpants]

[more scowling]

I have a hobby. This place is just making it difficult to practice it.

[video always]

[sonvisage]

[She only looks as if she could care less. Examines a gloved hand before shifting her gaze back to Draco, resting her chin on both hands now.]

What kind of potion?

[in_leatherpants]

[he gives her an almost wary look as he shrugs a little]

What's it matter to you?

[video]

[sonvisage]

[brow arch]

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Can't a girl be curious?

[in_leatherpants]

No, it's more of a bother than anything.

Most girls would know better than that.

[lestrangestone]

[She's not home, wherever she is. Looks like you have the house to yourself, Draco. Try not to burn it down - house-hunting is such a chore.]

There is a woefully inferior magic [this word is dropped like an insult] ...shoppe in the city. Or you could always use your wand to persuade the fine citizens of Anatole [lol!] into parting with their secrets.

[in_leatherpants]

[he'll do his best not to destroy anything in the house, but no promises can be made]

They haven't given all of their secrets up to you yet, aunt? [mildly surprised as he toys a little with his wand]

[lestrangestone]

Only because I haven't asked all of them. I'm sure that a well-placed Imperio could have them scrabbling to find whatever it is you need. Possibly at the expense of a day's meal or two.

[And that would be fairly amusing to watch, even if they couldn't find the ingredients.

She debates, and then:]

Or you could ask the Door. It's been generous lately.

[in_leatherpants]

[he lifts a brow, and contemplates it a little]

They're easy enough to Imperio, then? [a pause] Does that door give you anything you want?
