[Freeze. Sloooowly turn.

Squint.

Feign ignorance.]

A-Amelia? Holy shit, I didn't even realize that you were here!

[just1c3w1tch]

You said 'look'! You're doing it again! [A tiny snicker manages to escape.]

What are you so upset about? Pirates are awesome. You should be proud! Maybe I'm related to a pirate! Did that ever occur to you? Maybe your attitude's insulting to me! Did you ever think of that? [The woman's remarkably good at keeping a straight face.]

[To her mother, legitimately curious:] Why are you going on about pirates, anyway? Does he have a parrot or something?

[1eyeddragon]

[ Good god, these women are CRAZY! Why did Masamune have to bumb into them, jesus?? He's too cool for this hazukashii embarrassing shit! ]

I don't avoid saying words like "look" or "see" or "watch" just cause I've got one eye, dammit! You gotta be fucking kidding me! I'm not a pirate!

[ Ohhh, Masamune, that's so uncool. ]

[ladyliberty]

I didn't realize you were here! How's it going, you big lug?

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Oh! Well, uh. I only actually just got back to England a few days ago! Came back for my 7th year. I guess I forgot to tell people!

And s'going good, I guess. What about you? I ain't seen you in a damn long time!

[ladyliberty]

Duh, you ran away back to America!

I'm going great! Not looking forward to classes again, but you know.

[just1c3w1tch]

Well of course not! You've still got your other eye! (Hehe) (Hehehehe) [Terezi starts out acting outraged, but it devolves into giggling. The giggling proves infectious, and her mother joins in.]

(Hehehehe) Oh my god, haha, you're so wound up!

(Hehehe)

[thisonetime_withkeith]

...I didn't run away...

[Okay maybe breaking up had something to do with him going to America but she doesn't need to know that. The self conscious tone he has probably doesn't help things though.]

Hah, yeah. Classes suck, don't they? Man, the ones at the Salem school were so much more boring than Hogwarts, though.

[eternalbirthdays]

Hmmm.....

[She turns towards the parlour's menu, taking the time to read over each flavor very seriously. She then turns back to flash an enormous grin in Amelia's direction. ]

Let's get all of them!

[ladyliberty]

Really? Is that even possible? I always thought classes in the states would have a lot more explosions.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Only when I made 'em myself!

[ladyliberty]

I like your style.

[ladyliberty]

Oh my gosh, you are a genius!

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[...Don't mind him if he turns a little red.]

Thanks. Y'know how it is, can't let it be boring all the time. What about you... caused any explosions at Hogwarts?

[1eyeddragon]

[ Sob where's Kojuro to pull him out of this mess, he's just a frazzled mess of nerves at this point. ]

Goddammit, I just came here to find some books, not to insult some blind chick and get laughed at!

[ Grumblegrumble, it's uncool to lose your cool, okayokay, he's trying to calm down, it's just... hard. ]

[ladyliberty]

Well, not in the classroom, anyway.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

So... in the hallways?

[ladyliberty]

You're so cute! I've missed you hangin' around.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

I... Uh, thanks, I guess? But what'd I do?

[ladyliberty]

[She gives him a friendly peck on the cheek.]

Just being you.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[At that, his face burns even redder and his hand comes up to rest on the spot she kissed. Ellis stop being animu.]

Well... I missed hangin' out with you too... There ain't no girls like you at Salem, that's for sure.

[ladyliberty]

There ain't no girls like me anywhere. But I bet they make 'em real cute in America.

Outside Flourish & Blotts

[thanksforthatgrandpa]

[ It looks like... well, he wouldn't look like a baby teacher to you, not really. But this is sixteen-year-old Thobari. He's happy and cheery and awkward and nerdy and holding a stack of books that is teetering dangerously out of hands. ]

[ Good thing his grandfather's nearby, ready to help him carry all that stuff. Or he will be, once he finishes buying whatever terrible joke things that he's going to sneak into his grandson's suitcase. ]

[ Yeah, Thobari's still a loser, even as a kid. Hope he doesn't bump into anyone on his way out... ]

[just1c3w1tch]

Haha! (Hee) So you're down an eye, huh? If you're so self conscious about your eyepatch, why don't you get a glass eye? It'd probably look weirder, because those things never point in the right direction, but you'd get fewer pirate comments from small children and my mum.

[Still giggling a bit, her mother began to wander off.]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Nah! Well... I mean yeah, maybe some of 'em were cute, but...

[Keep going, you're just making it awkward for yourself.]

Anyway... Y'want me to get us somethin'?
