Lysander Scamander

"Are you sure? That's very thoughtful of you," she replied warmly in return. "This is true," Lyra acknowledged with a nod. "Everyone could use something more lighthearted right now after all."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"I'm sure." He confirmed as he placed an arm lightly around her shoulders to gently guide them towards the bar. "I think it's one of the few celebrations we have had that hasn't been interrupted by something negative." Lysander hailed the bartender over the moment he appeared available. "What would you like?" Honestly, it was also nice for him to not have to work it too.

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"If you start fussing over me in more than a healer/patient type way, I will curse you. And I don't mean verbally." Lysander warned Max when he saw the familiar face pop around the corner. "Besides, it's nothing major. Just comes with the job occasionally."

"Well I now I know you're taking the piss because I'm awesome," Theo retorted, grinning, "No, I cannot and I won't. I will brown-nose so they keep coming."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"Keep telling yourself that pal." Lysander responded with a smirk. "Ah, and I will enjoy watching you do it. If only so that I can bring it up constantly for my own amusement."

"I'm more than happy to grab some food with you, Lys," she told him with a smile. "However you'll have to sort that shower out yourself. Sorry to crush your dreams," Vera couldn't resist adding playfully.

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"I'm not too upset about that. I wouldn't want to ruin your boyfriend for you by showing you what you could be having." Lysander responded by dryly before he gave a little snort of amusement.

[laurelcllivanders]

"You really know how to sell yourself," she snorted when he'd told her that he would be better at getting her home than keeping her company. "I'm sure you're not as bad as you make yourself sound. Or maybe this is all part of your tactic, who knows?" Laurel shrugged back with amusement.

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"Am I supposed to be? I didn't realise I had to have a sales pitch ready." Lysander pointed out with a lightly raised eyebrow. "I'm just telling you not to get your hopes too high. I wouldn't want you to be disappointed. I get the impression you like high energy, high risk people."

"When it comes to my future... different story I guess," she considered with a light shrug when Lysander said that he didn't think that she was the indecisive type. "I have a hard time tying down what it is exactly that I want to do with the rest of my life. I envy the people who know exactly what their calling is."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"Well hopefully you'll figure out what makes you happy eventually. Beyond that, it doesn't really matter too much." Lysander said with a shrug of his shoulders. He wouldn't have advised someone to do as he had done and chosen something just to get himself away from family and expectations. Though, he'd done it to prove a point too so it was kind of counterproductive.

[lyramalfcy]

"So I suppose that's something we've got in common," Lyra considered with a light nod of her head. "I'm sorry you've been met with prejudice too. It's never something people enjoy."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"It's not something you can do anything about. It is what it is. All you can do is deal with it as it comes I suppose." He said with a shrug of his shoulders. She wasn't going to be able to change his families opinion on him after all.

[willcwpicquery]

"Only the super important life-altering stuff," Willow joked in reply. "I don't disagree with you but it's certainly one of those things that's easier said than done if you ask me. Sometimes 'what you want' isn't that easy. And for cases like mine, maybe you haven't even figured out what that is exactly."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"I suppose that much is true." Though he'd always been so hard headed that the more people told him he couldn't, the more Lysander had fought to show that he could. It'd perhaps been the wrong way to go about his path but he wasn't disappointed by where it had taken him. "I didn't peg you for being so indecisive."

[lyramalfcy]

"That's very sweet but you really don't have to do that," Lyra insisted, gently placing a hand on his forearm. "But no, you're right. Being careful doesn't seem to be the priority list for anyone here."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"I'm aware. I want to." He responded simply, though he didn't make any moves to do so without the woman's permission. "I suppose they're at least having fun? Messy fun but it's all in good spirits."

"I am pretty sure you're supposed to be sweeping women off their feet, not me." Lysander spoke, straightening himself out as Ambrose had come flying through the door and nearly took him out. Quick reflexes had thankfully meant he hadn't taken the wood right to his face but it hadn't stopped him from being clipped by it. "Clearly you have somewhere to be."

"Lysander– hi. Happy almost New Year," she greeted him warmly. "Would you like to grab a drink with me? I was just about to try to elbow and wriggle my way on over to the bar," Lyra mentioned with a laugh.

Lysander was surprised to hear the voice calling him but it was a pleasant surprise. He smiled lightly in greeting, offering a wave in return. "Let me get it for you. People aren't being very careful tonight you know."

[lyramalfcy]

"This list is long especially if you consider who my father and grandfather are," Lyra shrugged. "I know some people couldn't care less but it was certainly a big issue back at Hogwarts. To my experience, people tend to make their minds up about me the second they hear my surname."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"I come with a name too. I try not to judge." Lysander spoke simply. Sometimes it was easier to simplify things than try to explain them but he got the impression that perhaps the blonde would understand better than most. "But I understand."

[laurelcllivanders]

"The only thing I could potentially have to celebrate is how much of a disaster I am," she snorted cynically when he'd asked her for the reason she was drinking so much. "But hey, what else is new? No use in pretending there's room for that to change or whatever."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"Well in that case, I'm not sure I should be encouraging your drinking but I get the feeling that wouldn't matter to you so the least I can do is keep you company and get you home. I'm much better at the latter than the former though, or so I've been told." Lysander stated for the record, as if trying to anticipate that she would probably find him a little boring compared to her usual company.

[lyramalfcy]

"Yeah I suppose that's fair," she acknowledged with a light nod. "I guess I have a bit of a habit of explaining myself in cases like this. Don't want to give people the wrong idea I suppose."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"And what idea is it that people get about you?" Or at least the one she considered to be the wrong impression at the very least given the way she'd immediately tried to explain herself.

[veramckinncn]

"I feel like they're just basic necessities," she shrugged back with a grin. "I get that," Vera nodded. "But like you said, it could've been worse. And as scary as that is to think about, I suppose sometimes it's a somewhat comforting thought."

[lyscndersccmcnder]

"It is. But now lets go and get something to eat. I could probably do with that... and a shower actually all things considered." They had worked up more of a sweat than Lysander had been expecting.
