That's bloody awful.

What was the dispute over?

hexed_gideon August 18 2007, 16:35:16 UTC

It was. Apparently it was my aunt's blood status, her parents having been Muggles, you see.

haveuseentrevor August 18 2007, 16:42:45 UTC

Oh, that makes it even worse!. I really am sorry, Gideon. Just be strong, yes?

hexed_gideon August 18 2007, 16:46:33 UTC

*small smile*
Don't worry, I shan't lose my head and kill someone.

*looks up at him, brown eyes solemn as he takes his thumb out of his mouth*
Wha' happened 'Ncle Gideyon?

Have a two-and-a-half-year-old Charlie?

*picks him up and settles him on his hip, carrying him into the garden*
*softly* Do you remember your great uncle Cerdic? Your Granny Annie's brother?

Oh, yes, please! He's adorable!

*holds onto him, one little hand curled into a fist in his uncle's jacket*
*screws his face up, thinking about it*

Walrus Man?

hexed_gideon August 18 2007, 19:07:27 UTC

Eeep, doing the dishes at present, sorry.

*small smile*
Yes, the one with a huge moustache.
*earnestly again*
He died last Saturday. Do you know what that means?

You know I think this is great, but ♥ for you and Gideon anyway. :D

hexed_gideon August 18 2007, 19:08:12 UTC

Thank you. ♥ ♥ ♥

Because we clearly don't have enough threads going...

*frowns at him*
Why's Granny Annie sad?

hexed_gideon August 18 2007, 19:59:54 UTC

Oh, totally not, of course. What other threads do you mean? ;D

*quietly* Because her brother died.
*doesn't say anything further, letting Bill decide what questions he wants to ask*

twolions August 18 2007, 20:06:27 UTC

Hee hee.

Oh. *frowns at this* That means he's gone away for good. Like the cat.

hexed_gideon August 18 2007, 20:34:41 UTC

*nods*
Yes, for good. Granny Annie was very fond of him, he was her elder brother.

... I'm sorry.

*ruffled* Right, back to whatever we were doing.

hexed_gideon August 18 2007, 20:37:06 UTC

*looks at her silently; then* Thank you.

*raises his eyebrows*
Like me explaining why I practically emptied a well of red ink over your article there?

acidquotes August 18 2007, 20:41:34 UTC

*stiffly, like extending sympathy is oh-so-difficult* Buy you a drink.

I'm sure whatever your explanation is, it'll be completely inadequate and probably slightly motivated, if unconsciously, by your grief, so let's skip the tiresome explanation of why you feel it necessary to pour ink wells on my most incisive articles.

corviform August 18 2007, 20:58:14 UTC

God but I love Rita. :DD
