::Flying RP, Semi-Open::

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

Flying was becoming a familiar, comforting thing.

Actually trying to practice, though... that was less comfortable. But there was definitely something satisfying, Nny reflected, about hitting bludgers through the air, looping around as they swung back towards them, and smacking them away again.

"It would be beyond the bounds of normal human hypocrisy, wouldn't it?"

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Oh, far. And...well, would Mister Sark be afraid of me?"

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

He looked at Teatime, and grinned. "Would be, or should be? I don't think he is, though."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Well, the person did say they were afraid of me..."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Probably not Sark or Sadako, then."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Baldrick was such a great help to me. Perhaps he is afraid of me, but even if so, I don't think he would say the wretched, awful things that were said to me."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

Nny raised an eyebrow, expression darkening. "I think you'd better show me."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Do you think it'd be such a good idea?"

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"What do you mean? Do you think I wouldn't be able to help?"

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Well, I don't know. After all, you can hardly get access to Hufflepuff House unless someone lets you in...how would you help?"

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"I meant, I could help you narrow down who it might be. But if it came down to that, we can go into any of the dorms, can't we? Being caretakers and all."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"I haven't tried yet. Perhaps we can. And I suppose it'd be nice to have help narrowing down possibilities..."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Besides, I'd bring a different, um. Cultural perspective."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"You could, couldn't you."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm glad you think I can be of some use."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"It's ever so kind of you to be helping me here, too. I really must repay you one of these days."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

That had better not have been on purpose. "What, the Quidditch? It's practice for me, too."

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but what does helping me narrow possibilities do for you?"

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

Nny stared at him, looking almost hurt and somewhat offended. "You're my friend," he said finally.

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you are. But would it be friendly of me to do nothing about the fact that you've helped me?"

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"But there'll always be things we can do for each other... watching out for each other, you know?"

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"I suppose there will be. Perhaps I can do something for you then."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

He looked away, flushing a little. "Aren't... I mean, I'm not very experienced at friendships and everything, but aren't friends supposed to help each other in general?"

[teatimeassassin.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but then there are imbalances, you know. It isn't nice to be in debt to a friend, no matter how much I like you."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Is that how you look at it?"
