“Another,” Bertha said to the bartender at the Hog’s Head, throwing back her shot of fire whiskey, ignoring the irritation that coursed through her.
Lucius wasn’t in the habit of going into establishments with reputations for being less than the best. But unfortunately the Hog’s Head was the only place within Scotland where he could buy a sort of whiskey he favoured. He glanced over at Bertha as she ordered another drink. “That seems a dangerous pass time.”
katherinethewise:
“Arrogance is only truly arrogance if it is unproven,” Katherine countered, smile playing around her lips. “The vast majority of those I interact with do not have unproven arrogance.” At his comment, she took another sip of her champagne, idly wondering what Thorfinn would do if she enabled Lucius. “Oh, I don’t mind. I am his. He is mine. Anything else is unthinkable.” She tilted her head. “Besides, it’s rather fun for me to watch him get wroth.” Her smile widened.
“I shall be sure to keep that quip close to hand next time I am accused of arrogance,” he smiled, only a little arrogantly, at her. He was oddly touched by Katherine’s apparent faith in the way she and Thorfinn belonged to one another. He wondered how she could be so certain, seeing as they had not chosen one another - but he did not think it prudent to ask. “Does he become very cross, then? Perhaps I should ask you to dance, see if we can’t get some steam coming out of his ears,” he teased.
purely-cissa:
“I suppose not.” Narcissa tried, and failed, to keep the disappointment from her voice, “It isn’t unusual for husbands to be away from home often. I had just hoped we would be an exception. Especially now that…” Then she shook her head, “Your career will always come first, no need to worry about that.” She gave her socialite smile.
“If it is required for my work, I do not see that I can avoid it.” Lucius frowned at her. They had spent enough time now that he was beginning to get a sense for her moods, and importantly, when she was not being genuine. “Now that what?”
thorfinn-rowle:
“My friend, a second wife is for a man that cannot hold on to the first. Or who believes in polygamy. I can see why you would be worried about the former, but I am confident I don’t have to be.” Thorfinn smirked good naturedly at Lucius. He always enjoyed their banter even if what he said about Katherine did prickle now and again.
“Perhaps,” Lucius shrugged lightly, unperturbed, “Though one could also say that a single wife is for a man who does not appreciate his options.” Lucius similarly enjoyed bantering with Thorfinn - almost as much as he enjoyed it with Katherine. And in both cases, he meant for it to be lighthearted and harmless - not that he wasn’t also aware of Thorfinn’s jealous tendencies. “But regardless, are you enjoying yourself this evening? I have to say, I am not enjoying this new... open door policy that the Ministry seems to have employed.”
Solving Problems | Luc & Ted
Lucius: I know this might seem unorthodox, but I require your help with something.
purely-cissa:
“As far as careers go I suppose that is not the worst of them all. You would do good in the law world.” Narcissa had quarreled enough with him to know his skills in debating. Then a thought struck her, “Does this mean you won’t be home a lot?”
“I like to think so,” he smiled, pleased with her praise and approval of his choice. He hadn’t needed it, but it was nevertheless nice to have. “Well... yes.” Lucius father had rarely been home, so it was never something he had thought about too much. “Will that be an issue?”
thorfinn-rowle:
“I understand,” Thorfinn said with an over-exaggerated sigh. “You’re too afraid to risk rejection, so you play it safe and speak to Katherine.” Thorfinn clapped Lucius on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, my friend, I’m sure your parents will set a wedding date for you soon enough.”
Lucius couldn’t help himself, and snorted indelicately at the idea of being rejected by anyone. His ego was such that he simply couldn’t contemplate it happening. “Actually, I am quite certain that my betrothed’s parents are deciding that little detail. I was more-so thinking of my second wife: something you might like to start preparing for whenever somebody inevitably steals your lovely fiance away from you.”
thorfinn-rowle:
“Why bother when you handed that one to me on a silver platter?” Thorfinn asked, carelessly. If he could make a joke or insult out of what someone said, use their own words against them, it was so much better. “She is, rather, isn’t she?” Thorfinn said, looking in Katherine’s direction, his trained eye finding her easily. “You should make an effort to talk to more of the young women here tonight, though, so you can find a wife, even if she is only half as pleasant as mine.”
“I am always on the lookout for potential wives.” He smiled, completely ignoring the fact that his betrothed was in the very same room. Lucius was very fond of Narcissa, more than he even really wanted to admit, but there was still a part of him that was aware of his status and doing the best thing for his own family. And besides, he’d always liked to keep his options open. “But if I enjoy the company of your betrothed the most? Well c’est la vie.”
katherinethewise:
“I suppose,” she replied with another sip of her champagne. “They are that, aren’t they? Quite brash. Foolish. Arrogant most of the time.” Katherine smiled, lips curving at the corners as she looked at Lucius. “Thorfinn is rather…possessive about certain things. Some might say he never learned to share. I am one of them.”
“I hope this does not mean that you have adverse feelings about arrogance,” he arched a brow at her. There was no shortage of arrogance among pureblood males generally, and Lucius in particular. “Don’t tell me an independent woman like you is going to stand for that. If you like, I could help you make a point to him?”
thorfinn-rowle:
“If that’s what makes you feel better to believe, Malfoy,” Thorfinn responded genially. “You know if they hadn’t allowed me in, you would never have made it,” he smirked. “Good of you to show up though; I was in need of some stimulating conversation. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction?”
“Turning my insult against me? I’d have thought you’d have original material,” Lucius smirked, before laughing at Thorfinn’s second retort. “Touché. But I am afraid the only direction I could point you in would be towards your betrothed. She has been the most pleasant company of anyone I’ve encountered this evening.”
purely-cissa:
“I would love to,” Narcissa answered, placing her hand in his offered one. They had danced many a time but this would be the time it would be unforced. She silently allowed Lucius to lead her to the dance floor before continuing the conversation, “You want to work for the ministry then? Which department.” How did they end up engaged yet Narcissa knew almost nothing about Lucius’ future dreams?
He led her onto the dance floor. As much as he wanted to dance with her, he was also a little motivated by the fact that Society would also see them dancing together. He personally preferred that they appear unified, no matter how things may be behind the scenes. “I have not entirely decided yet. International Law, perhaps. I definitely wish to do something that incorporates travel.”
siennarowle:
“It’s not like anyone else heard me and besides, I’m simply matching the level of eloquence that the event deserves based on who I’ve seen attending.”
“They might have. Or have you checked with everyone in the vicinity?” He arched a brow, surprised at how nonchalant she was in her criticism. “If you choose to focus only on the worst that something has to offer, you will lose a great deal of opportunities.”
purely-cissa:
“Only,” Narcissa said, turning fully to him, “that I have seen many facets of you. Lucius the flirt, Lucius the family man. But I have never seen this side. The all important business man.” She bit her lips and spoke softly, “I think it is quite attractive.” All her life Narcissa was raised to be the trophy wife and she had hated the idea of having to walk on somebody’s arm and be bored to death while he talks business. But Lucius made it all so very interesting that Narcissa didn’t mind.
“Well there is admittedly not much need for it at school. It is a waste there, to be too good at anything,” his sight caught on the way she bit her lip, and he wondered just how much of a scandal there would be if he kissed her the way he wanted to. “I am glad you like it.”
He extended a hand to her. Society might have been able to make a fuss about kissing, but they could hardly twitter about a dance. “Would you care to dance?”
katherinethewise:
The brunette smiled at Lucius, her lips curving. “Thank you, Lucius,” she said as she took a sip of her drink. “And yes, he is that, isn’t he? Don’t let him catch you comparing him to Gryffindors,” she teased. “I think anyone that knows him would know better, though I appreciate the compliment.”
“I would not dream of it. But it is not only Gryffindors who are brave, They just seem to be the most foolish about it.” He cocked his head to the side, curious about her comment about her fiance. “Oh? And why is that?”
purely-cissa:
Seeing Lucius in a more professional environment fascinated Narcissa. She knew the playboy, the head boy, the Quiditch hero and the side he only ever shows to her. But here, among the people he wants to become in the future, this was where his ambition shone the brightest. Narcissa realized that he already possessed a knowledge far greater than the majority of his peers and she hung on every word he said, even if she felt a bit lost here and there.
It was only when she spotted Bellatrix that she excused herself from the conversation, suspecting her betrothed was too engaged to notice her absence. From there she made a few of her own rounds, talking to all her friends and family present.
By the time Lucius found her, she was standing by the edge of the dance floor, lost in the colours spiraling in front of her. “Lucius,” she smiled, her stomach making a spiral at the nickname, “very much, thank you. I never realized you were so… Charismatic.”
His brow crinkled at her comment, as he attempted to decipher whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Ordinarily he was happy to simply assume that whatever was said about him was a good thing, but somehow Narcissa always left him guessing.
“What do you mean?” He asked, curious about how she could have missed just how charismatic her was.
Lucius wasn’t accustomed to attending events with a partner. He was far more comfortable swanning about the place, making the rounds talking to all of the people of note. He wanted to work at the Ministry when he graduated, and it was important to him to put in the ground work before that happened. He was so busy networking, he didn’t notice when he lost track of Narcissa until the older grey-haired witch that he was talking to asked after her. Quickly realising his mistake, he excused himself and set about finding his betrothed.
When he spied her, he approached, lightly resting a hand on her lower back.
“Are you having a good evening, darling?”
