Only fools are satisfied

Emmeline Vance. Former Ravenclaw. Curse-Breaker. Book connoisseur. Tempest. Order of the Phoenix. Overly fond of reading, red velvet cake, and Earl Grey tea. “Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”

[emmelinevanceypants]

Oh, that’s odd.

[murraymintjack]

[emmelinevanceypants]

[murraymintjack]

Because.

[emmelinevanceypants]

A fair argument.

[murraymintjack]

Not happening.

[emmelinevanceypants]

Why not?

[jenytrindade]

[murraymintjack]

I think a truce sounds quite good now. But by all means, don’t stop.

[emmelinevanceypants]

What if I did?

[murraymintjack]

I don’t know, you’ve always been good at surprising me.

[emmelinevanceypants]

Well, I suppose that isn’t so awful.

Have I managed to persuade you yet or shall I keep going?

[murraymintjack]

Oh?

[emmelinevanceypants]

Mhm. Isn’t it obvious?

[murraymintjack]

You know, I think I might have already known that. Or are you more brilliant than I thought?

[emmelinevanceypants]

Even more brilliant.

[murraymintjack]

I don’t know about that. It depends what you’ve got up your sleeve.

[emmelinevanceypants]

Oh, plenty of things. I’m rather brilliant, you know.

[murraymintjack]

A truce? Hmm… Maybe.

[emmelinevanceypants]

Maybe? Well, perhaps there’s a way I could persuade you.

[murraymintjack]

I was going to say how would you feel if I told you that you should cut down on books, but I thought that was too mean. Maybe I should reconsider.

[emmelinevanceypants]

I would much prefer hitting you with a book than throwing hot tea at you; though, I’d truly rather not do either. May I have a truce? I’ll even include a few mints as an apology. 

[murraymintjack]

Not possible. Anyway, that’s mean. How would you like it if I told you that you should cut down on tea?

[emmelinevanceypants]

Well, I would have to hit you with one of my heavier books if you ever said that.

[prudenceleigh-deactivated201712]

Well the good news is it’s a situation that’s remedied fairly easily, at the very least.

[emmelinevanceypants]

Fortunately, yes. Visiting another cafe would save me from quite the headache.

[dowsonoftheellie]

I’m not fond of tea; I’ve never seen the appeal. People seem to fall one side of another- coffee, or tea.

[emmelinevanceypants]

Well, I normally prefer tea, but I don’t mind drinking coffee at all.

[emmelinevanceypants]

hollyendeering:

Why do you think?

I’m not entirely certain. Perhaps my body will never be quite as used to it as it is to Earl Grey.

[prudenceleigh-deactivated201712]

Surely that’s only the sort of thing your parents say to stop you from being naughty?

[emmelinevanceypants]

Unfortunately not, I’m afraid.
