"Well, what are you going to give me?" Tori shifted on her stool a little. "I was thinking, 'Top Hogwarts Student Finds Employment at Bottom of Quidditch Bracket.'" That was a bit wordy for a headline, but it could work. "Or, if you play nice," she continued, "'Where Are They Now?' and then a piece on what you've been up to since graduation." That would be the claws in, good kitty route that Tori was unfamiliar with.

She chuckled darkly as Sierra nearly choked on her drink. If only she had! Now THAT would be a real story. "So how is that getting along? That's just... coming to some sort of twisted truce." She rolled her eyes and looked down the bar for another refill.
No. No, definitely not. Sierra and Tori probably wouldn't make good friends after all. All Tori had to do was open her mouth, and Sierra had to convince herself not to draw her wand and turn her into a toad. "Right, and what makes me a juicy story to print?" she asked. Because, she was perfectly fine with her life right now, thank you very much. She could do with a good switch to the Harpies, but other than that, things were okay.

What was she going to GIVE TORI?! That girl was a real piece of work. "A good opportunity for a story, according to you," Sierra grumbled. But Tori was going to write the article anyway, apparently, so that wouldn't work. "Fine. Playing nice," she said, passing Tori a teeth-gritting smile. "What could it be that you possibly want from me?"

...and about that whole twisted truce thing. "I'm not really planning your downfall," Sierra said. "Don't flatter yourself as to think I spend that much time with you on my mind. I was just saying that we'd likely be the kind of friends that would always look over their backs. You know, just in case."
