Flying

[average-adam.livejournal.com]

Unable to wait any longer now that everyone had agreed to go flying with him, Adam sent owls to Nny, Susan, River, Kaylee, Teatime, Harry, Ginny, and Devi to let them know that he'd gone down to the Quidditch pitch and to meet him there. He snatched his broom and practically ran down to the field, excited to meet new people and get into the air once again.

"Really? How?"

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Well, of course we are mostly hired to inhume the wealthy. Is it really respectful to kill someone while wearing a dirty suit? And killing the entire household is quite rude, apparently, if you really don't have to."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"...you know, if I actually respected someone, I think I wouldn't want to kill them. But it's never really come up. Now, that's depressing."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"I don't have the choice, do I? They pay, and we inhume. But we should always be polite in their final moments. Would you want to be killed by someone who can't bother to stay clean? People like knowing they're being done away with by men of class, apparently."

Nny bit his lip, trying to keep from bursting out laughing. "You really make killing for money sound boring."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"It depends, really, on just how much you like the work. It pays well, I suppose, and they provide a great education."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Well, the killing part sounds good, or course. But all the restrictions..." He shook his head.

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"I broke the rules, you see. I learned from my mistakes, of course. I suppose I should be more careful about adhering to them, but it can be so difficult."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"I never really had to worry about rules before. Which makes being here strange."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"They can be rather inconvenient. All the same, I do try to follow them."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, you're meticulous that way."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"I suppose so. I always take corrections and advice, too..."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"That would be your patient streak showing."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"I like getting things right." He grinned.

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"There is something to be said for that. I'm too tempermental to be that meticulous, really, but it seems to work well for you."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Being corrected gives one so much help in doing things right."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but it also gives you so much help in getting incredibly pissed off at some condescending asshole."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Most instructors don't try to condescend to me."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Most people don't seem to have to try to be condescending, though. It's like it's built-in or something."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I don't particularly like those people..."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"And there's so many of them."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"I do try to get along with them, though."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"I just kill `em."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Against the rules, really," Teatime said, furrowing his brow and staring off into the distance, as if contemplating the true lunacy of that. "But there is a lot that can be done with them."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"What sort of things?"
