Alistaire Talkalot

"There is a shipwreck between your ribs. you are a box with fragile written on it, and so many people have not handled you with care.”

“Incorrect. Your choice to give unsolicited advice is inherently rude as has already been explained.” He reiterated, unsure why he was taking the time to at all. “And that we agree on.”

“I fail to see your logic but to each their own.” He shrugs. The last thing he wants is to pick another fight. Part of him wants to call him out for being rude but he bites his tongue, not worth it.

“Pretty important, I think,” Lucinda laughed, giving her brother a look. “You’re no good here if you’re not properly trained, right?”

“I...well, yeah. But just because I said it was boring doesn’t mean I wasn’t paying attention!”

[alistairetalkalot]

itsrabastan​:

“Glad to hear someone filled the void,” he joked with a laugh. “Why?” he asked, the seemingly random collection of countries holding no significance to him. “I’m shocked he didn’t hit you back,” he added, secretly aware that Christopher was more than capable of hurting him.

Alistair grins and chuckles. “Work. On the job training mostly. Outside of that I can’t tell you much more than that. Mostly because it’s more boring than watching paint dry.” He chuckles. “You and me both. I think I got lucky, catching him off guard.”

itsrabastan​:

“Do we? Did you become a Casanova while I was gone?” Rabastan teased jokingly. “Away where?” he asked curiously. He grinned slightly, clearly more amused than anything by the story. “Why would I tell him? I’m sure he deserved it.”

“Someone had to fill the void while  you were off gallivanting.” He grins, joking. He’d been away just as much, if not more. No time for being the new Casanova. “Mostly France and Spain. A little bit of Italy and Germany. Nothing all that exciting if I’m being honest with you.” He smiles wide at his admission, admittedly more glad for it than he should be. “He did.”

antxnindolohox​:

“Yes, I wouldn’t classify myself as kind. But some might say unsolicited advice is also rude being that it implies that the other couldn’t figure it out without your genius mind.”

“It’s hardly rude if you choose to ignore it.” He shrugs but backs off. He knows how to pick his fights. “I’m hardly a genius, Antonin.”

[alistairetalkalot]

antxnindolohox​:

“Well then you must be highly respected. Thing is, I don’t respect you thus, your unsolicited advice is, in fact, unwelcome.” He spoke candidly.

“I don’t know about highly...Well that was rude.”

[alistairetalkalot]

lucindaleonoratalkalot​:

“Was it that boring when you were away?” She asked, surprised.

“Boring? No. I just...felt like I was spinning my wheels.” He shrugs. “Training is great and all but what use is training when you want to do something, you know? I was pretty much there to watch and do nothing. Maddening I tell you.”

[alistairetalkalot]

lucindaleonoratalkalot​:

“I suppose so,” she agreed with a small smile. “So, how has it been at the Ministry? Is it a big change?”

He shrugs. “It has been a bit of a change, yeah. But a good one. Sitting around doing nothing? Probably would’ve driven me crazy. And I can do so much more here. I plan to use that to my advantage, you know?”

[alistairetalkalot]

itsrabastan​:

“I do have that effect on women,” Rabastam grinned, shrugging lightly. “What have you been up to anyway? I haven’t seen you in ages, though I did hear about you punching Flint. I bet that was fun.”

“Don’t we all?” Alistaire jokes, smiling in spite of himself. “Mostly work. I was sent away for a while recently too.” He shrugs. “Not my classiest moment...but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t at least a little bit fun. Don’t tell him I said that.”

[alistairetalkalot]

antxnindolohox​:

“And–do people normally respond well to you when you offer unsolicited advice?” He wondered with a sigh.

“Usually, yeah. Although sometimes I run into the odd person that I’m pretty sure didn’t hear it in the first place.”

[alistairetalkalot]

antxnindolohox​:

“And I should be giving any amount of weight to your perception of the way I live my life–why?” He genuinely questioned him. “No need.”

“You don’t have to.” He shrugs, starting to feel a little on edge. “I was just offering some friendly advice. What you do with it from here is entirely up to you.”

[alistairetalkalot]

itsrabastan​:

“I would have broke her heart anyway, I can’t even remember her name.”

“Ouch.” He smiles. “I don’t remember names either half the time. And if I do it’s not a good sign.” He shakes his head. “I’m pretty sure she’d have answered to any name you gave her, right or wrong.”

[alistairetalkalot]

lucindaleonoratalkalot​:

“I didn’t know that,” she hummed, walking alongside him, occasionally glancing down at the babies to check if they were asleep or not. 

“It’s not something good Aurors go around bragging about. But it makes sense that the people enforcing the laws find the ears of people who make them, right?”

[alistairetalkalot]

lucindaleonoratalkalot​:

“Do aurors get to make those sorts of rules, though?” She asked, teasing. “I think you’ve chosen the wrong career choice,” she noted, honestly only joking with him. 

“They do if they get high enough in the food chain.” He winks at her, laughing. He does have plans, but they’ll take years to set in motion. “Me? A politician? You’d have a better chance seeing me move to America and buy a house.”

[alistairetalkalot]

itsrabastan​:

“I would help but I have this.. thing,” Rabastan lied, badly, gesturing towards his phone in lieu of an actual explanation.

“That was probably the absolute worst getaway line I think I’ve ever heard. And it looks like you broke her heart saying it.”

[alistairetalkalot]

lucindaleonoratalkalot​:

“What do you mean by that?” She asked, looking over at him curiously. “Thank you. You know I appreciate it.”

“That I’m going to make it big and I’m going to get some rules made. We’re not fish in a bowl, Luce. I’ve always hated being a fish in a bowl. It’s not right.” He shrugs and smiles at her. “It’s on of the reasons I became an auror.”

[alistairetalkalot]

lucindaleonoratalkalot​:

“No, but it’s just the way of things,” Lucinda shrugged, just used to it at this point. It had always just been something that was a part of her life, especially once she’d become entangled with Regulus and his family. “I know,” she chuckled, “and I’ll keep it in mind.”

“Still doesn’t really make it right. But I’m working on fixing that too, promise.” He grins, wrapping his hand around the tram and pushing it a gentle speed. He doesn’t want to wake them. “Good. I’ll always be here.”
