bones, edgar
Edgar tried to hide a yawn but failed miserably, it’s not that he minded being up at this hour, he had always found the silver lining in having to leave the comfort of his bed, but he had had a restless sleep, there had been an alarming increase in dark magic related injuries, and it was making him restless. Still being up early meant he got to stop by his favorite coffee shop, sure there was a perfectly fine one near the hospital, but they didn’t carry the blend he liked —he had tried to leave pureblood high society behind, but it was the little things that seemed insignificant that reminded Edgar, maybe sometimes it’s really hard to escape something that was a part of you for years. And speak of the devil, Edgar recognized the person who had reached for his arm even before they had started to speak,
❝Alecto, it’s been a while❞ he said with smile, he had lost touch with most of the people he had grew up with, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t take a chance to reconnect with them. ❝I-uhh, yeah sure…❞ Edgar shrugged taking the seat across from her, ❝but I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay long, I have a shift that starts soon❞ he said before taking the waiter for bringing his coffee, ❝last I heard you were out of town, when did you get back?❞
--- alecto shrugged, “ yes, well, i like to avoid the society functions. i’ve found it’s much easier to avoid them now that i’m living alone. ” although she really didn’t know who still went to them. the exceptions always being those who wound up in the gossip pages for whatever scandals they’d caused. or for their choice of wardrobe. not that she paid much attention, but it grew more difficult to ignore when information about things such as the malfoys’ elopement had been plastered across the front pages.
the witch smiled, “ i can still claim i was here for a social call, ” she shrugged. alecto nodded, “ yes, i had work in egypt, and then decided a vacation was needed. i arrived back only a couple days ago. i don’t want to go back to work yet, so i took an extra week to just relax. ” unless, of course, the dark lord requested anything. while gringotts had allowed her the vacation, the dark lord wouldn’t be so understanding, she knew. plus, family emergency would not get past him, since her family were all involved in the cause.
