Why is the coffee always gone?

[alfred-leatherby]

You have to look deeper. Go to the supermarket and buy some. Who would have known?

[lara-lowell]

I can’t believe it’s already Monday…I don’t know where Saturday and Sunday went to be perfectly honest. 

[alfred-leatherby]

Time flies by when you're having fun. 

[schreinerm-deactivated20131215]

Define sleep.

I really don’t think I know what it even means anymore. Or what it even is, for that matter.

[alfred-leatherby]

Welcome to the world of grown ups, my friend.

[9teen70nine-blog]

It’s really quite fascinating how you can efficiently fit that and all the science stuff inside the same head. Okay, dragon. How about tomorrow then? I’m free tomorrow.

[alfred-leatherby]

Why does it amaze you? This happens to me everyday, my mind is a palace. Tomorrow it is, then. I'll pick you up at whatever time suits you?

[9teen70nine-blog]

One day you’ll sneeze and burn off my face, and the whole fun’s going to be over then. Being half dragon is very tricky, d’you know what I mean? And of course I still do. Don’t you? I’m free uh… I can make time whenever, really.

[alfred-leatherby]

I don't care, I still like setting fires and burning things, and being a dragon. I just need a Bilbo Baggins and I can live happily ever after. Well, I wasn't sure if you still wanted to, I didn't wanna look stupid by saying I was still holding on for dinner. Alright, but when are you free? Are you free later on?

[kylejewel-deactivated20131208]

Yeah, especially sisters that became moms. It just makes it worse. I’m okay with nothing happening, that sounds nice to me. Peaceful.  Well, technically yeah, but I’m not a student. I’ll be doing all the computer programming. And earning extra cash by hacking into the system and changing grades for the students. 

That last part was a joke. 

[alfred-leatherby]

Yeah, I've seen sisters try to take care of their younger siblings and sometimes it doesn't end well, but it's nice to see them trying. You're OK with nothing happening around here? It gets excruciatingly dull at times. Alright, alright, so you're the new computer guy, oh welcome to the University too. Yes, I don't really care to be honest, change them if they want to.

Really? Really? Really? Half dragon named Alfie? That is the most ridiculous thing I ever did hear. But yeah, no, dream big. And also, you owe me a dinner, dragon man.

[alfred-leatherby]

What's wrong with being half dragon? I can breathe fire and fly over great distances, there's nothing wrong with being half dragon. Oh, yes, you still want dinner? Um... When are you free?

[electragregory-deactivated20131]

They won’t let me into school. Too old for that. 

[alfred-leatherby]

No, you're old enough to go back. I'm sure you can find one that will let you in. Or are you just a literal nightmare?

[kylejewel-deactivated20131208]

She’s still in America. Always worrying about me.  Thanks, it seems like a nice little town. Did I introduce myself? I’m Glitch. No worries, I doubt people will see much of me either.

[alfred-leatherby]

Always a pest, huh? Well, sisters are like that, I suppose. Yeah, nice, very quiet, nothing ever happens here, really. Nice to meet you Glitch and welcome to Cromer once again. Are you here for university?

[kylejewel-deactivated20131208]

My sister was really more of a mother to me, so it wasn’t too bad.  Yes I am, actually. 

[alfred-leatherby]

Oh, is your sister here or in America? Welcome to Cromer, I'm Alfie and you won't be seeing me around much, so I'm not of much help, I'll try to be but I'll end up not.

[electragregory-deactivated20131]

Over the age of consent, which you’re not getting. 

Darlin’.

[alfred-leatherby]

OK, then maybe you should go back to school and learn some manners.

[9teen70nine-blog]

Aren’t you half dwarf though? I mean, you sort of look like it. And you know quite a bit about them, so I’m assuming you’ve been let in on the secret. It would be very rude of you not to share it with me, you know. Very unbecoming. 

[alfred-leatherby]

Half dwarf? You think I'm half dwarf? Really? Really? Really? I'm half dragon, thank you very much.

[electragregory-deactivated20131]

How old am I? What does that matter?

[alfred-leatherby]

Just answer the question, dear.

[9teen70nine-blog]

How exactly does one find gold by watching the stars? Or is it strictly a dwarf thing unfit for humans? Please do enlighten me, Alfred.

[alfred-leatherby]

It's strictly a dwarf thing unfit for humans. You wouldn't understand, darling. It's alright. I mean, do you think dwarves find gold just by pure luck? No.

[electragregory-deactivated20131]

That totally hadn’t occurred to me, no. 

Whatever would I do without you?

[alfred-leatherby]

I was just trying to help, you don't need to be so sarcastic about it. How old are you?

[9teen70nine-blog]

I don’t know, dwarfs maybe. They don’t strike me as keen stargazers. 

[alfred-leatherby]

Dwarves are stargazers, how do you think they find their way around? How do they find gold? They gaze at the stars.
