I find myself wondering, brother, what mood I left you in this afternoon. You were more silent than is typical.

Know only that I didn't mean to offend - not this time.

Still, you must admit it was a reasonable assumption.

She knows.

I imagine that she will care in some ways, but won't in others.

And thanks for the concern, but I will- I always do.

Have you seen Toshenka yet?

[alt_rodolphus]

Not yet. I look forward to it, of course, but one has to wait in line and draw a number for the occasion. Very impressed with the selection of texts he's drawn up for the Arts class, as well as the decision to make the course a requirement for all entering students. Remember our own school days? Studying everything on the sly, or waiting until we were back at Le'Strange for the hols... no more of that. And none for your children, either - when you have them.

Don't worry - I will only grant myself a tiny amount of credit for the fact that the position opened up in the first place.

[alt_rabastan]

Don't you start down that path, now.

You're crap at hiding you're own smugness, you know. Though I won't lie- it'll be good to have a Dark Arts professor I can actually communicate and coordinate with. And who doesn't smell like a deadly combination of arse-sweat and ague weed.

Hoping to meet with him as soon as he's settled in. Might even propose a little tour of Hogsmeade, if you'd be interested in meeting us there.

[alt_rodolphus]

I am. Let me know the time and place when it's arranged.

[alt_rabastan]

Will do.

No talking in Russian, though!

[alt_rodolphus]

You know that only happens after I've had several large vodkas.

They do have vodka in Hogsmeade, don't they?

Yes, I'm sure they do.
