Barney was sitting at a booth, smug with himself. He'd infected the bar with 'Let's Go To The Mall', and so far, he's not gotten in any trouble for it.

Right now, he was watching the bar at large like a hawk for any eligible ladies. He still had a 'to-do list' to finish, after all.

Ginny walks over with a smile.

"Hello."

[notapurpledino]

"...you don't?" Barney says. "Then how do you make 'How many whatevers does it take to screw in a lightbulb' jokes?"

[missginnytonic]

"I don't know we don't. I guess. One of those things my world is missing."

[notapurpledino]

"That's... actually, that's not a shame. Those things are pretty corny. Just... cheap jokes and even cheaper come-on lines. Me, I don't like to call it screwing. I prefer... making love to a beautiful woman," Barney says, laying it on a liiiiittle thick.

[missginnytonic]

"Yeah, That's true but does it matter what name you give it? It's all a matter of the same thing the question is more about feeling someone for the person your with. Or is it just a means of satisfaction?"

[notapurpledino]

"Just a means?" Barney says. "That sounds practically jaded."

[missginnytonic]

"Maybe I am." She leans her head to the side a bit. It's almost true.

[notapurpledino]

"Now that's a shame," Barney says. "A pretty woman like you shouldn't have to experience the bad things that cause those feelings."

[missginnytonic]

"Thank you. I would think not but sometime you know it's not what your age is but what you've survived. I've gotten better I used to be worse."

[notapurpledino]

"And I take it you've survived a lot," Barney says.

[missginnytonic]

"A war. With the worst wizard of all time. But that is the past right just look ahead. besides I'll be out of school soon."

[notapurpledino]

Barney stops. "Wait. How old are you?"

[missginnytonic]

"seventeen why?"

[notapurpledino]

Barney mentally beats himself up. Always remember to check first.

"Oh, you know what? I just remembered I left my waffle iron on. I have to go."

[missginnytonic]

Ginny looks at him and shakes her head. Like what the fuck man. She doesn't get it she's legal and of age.

"Okay later then"

[notapurpledino]

Hey, even Barnito Supreme has limits. And someone half his age is definitely a little too skeezy for him.

"Right," he says. "You have luck with that... magic school."

And zoom, he is away. He doesn't want a reputation as a cradle robber.
