Alright. Up, and in.

Er- okay.

I always thought it was because the other option was absolutely rubbish making you the lesser of two evils.

[messrsblack]

She was absolutely rubbish, but that had no bearing on why I was picked.

[hollyendeering]

I was curious.

[messrsblack]

Have a nice night, Holly.

[hollyendeering]

I don’t care for it to be. It happened, it didn’t work out, and neither really cancels out the other in any way. I still like everything I liked about you before our relationship ended. I don’t see why the conversation dynamic has to change simply because we aren’t sleeping together.

[messrsblack]

Why did you come over here? And don’t say for a beer. There’s a whole bar for you to get one of those, but you came to the exact spot where I’m talking to a girl. 

[hollyendeering]

Is it going to be awkward now because we aren’t seeing each other any longer?

[messrsblack]

You tell me, Holly.

[hollyendeering]

I came to get a beer, Sirius, like people tend to do at a bar.

[messrsblack]

Okay.

[messrsblack]

hollyendeering:

I’ll let you get back to it.

If that’s all you came over for, sure.

[hollyendeering]

Are you following her to ask, dragging her back here, or are we going to debate about it?

[messrsblack]

The former, probably. She owes me a drink. Like I said, that had more to do with you. 

[prudenceleigh-deactivated201712]

It’s not my fault you’ve terrible reflexes.

[messrsblack]

That’s how I played Beater on the house team for four years. Terrible reflexes.

[hollyendeering]

Guess we’ll never know.

[messrsblack]

Says who?

[prudenceleigh-deactivated201712]

I thought you’d catch it in your mouth.

[messrsblack]

No you didn’t.

[hollyendeering]

Actions speak louder than words.

[messrsblack]

I think that had more to do with you.

[prudenceleigh-deactivated201712]

That was a complete waste of good food.

[messrsblack]

You started it.

[hollyendeering]

I don’t think she cares to try it.

[messrsblack]

I think she looks quite capable of speaking for herself.
