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.

"Hi, Nny!" waved Adam in greeting from a vantage point of six feet in the air.

"Hey, is that a new broom? It's neat. Where'd you get it?" He was terribly impressed.


((sorry about the repost. wrong tense. XP))

"Oh. Um." Nny mounted his broom and kicked off, hovering level with Adam. "I sent away for it. It's a pretty basic model, but nicer than using a school broom. I have an income now, so..." He grinned a little sheepishly.

"I'm glad," grinned Adam. "Everyone should have somethin' nice. And I think it suits you real well. How is your job goin' anyway? Keepin' busy?"

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Not busy enough, but there's someone we'd love to see in detention."

"I think I might be able to guess who that is..."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, we'd probably be able to sell tickets if we were so inclined."

Adam laughed. "Prob'ly. But he's havin' troubles of his own, now. He shouldn't have been careless with his arrows. Aziraphale would say it was ineffability."

Nny made a face and held up one hand, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together. "It's the world's tiniest violin, playing just for him." He looked around carefully, making sure no one else was around. "Teatime was upset. He's never upset. And he thought Eros wasn't going to hurt him. And there's what he did to me. And half the damn school. He's got a lot to answer for, to a lot of people."

Adam smiled at the gesture but it left quickly.

"I know. I told him that he shouldn't mess around with people. A lot of people got their feelin's hurt and it really wasn't fair. I don't think that hurtin' him is the best way to handle it, though. He's gettin' a taste of his own medicine now. He accidentally made his wife indifferent to him. I dunno if that'll make him learn his lesson, though.

"I would think that he'd learn it if his wife fell in love with someone else for a while. Someone who wasn't interested, so she'd make herself foolish over him while ignoring Eros. Then he'd know how everyone else felt, but that's not fair to Psyche. Unless..."

The glint of mischief was in his eye.

"Unless one of us pretended to be Psyche for a day."

"...ew." Nny made a face. "That's revolting."

Adam looked surprised. "Why's that?"

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"The idea is... very unpleasant. I don't know. In a visceral way."

[average-adam.livejournal.com]

"Well, you wouldn't have to do actually do it. You could just help."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"If it would hurt Eros, I'm in."

"Lemme think about it and we can talk about it again later."
