Bestie got bestie privileges, after all. Especially when it felt like it had been practically all summer that she’d been without her, something of which she’d reminded her rather animatedly as they had started their little outing.
“Probably a good idea”, she agreed, passing over a few coins to pay her way because, even if she was a pirate, she could pay her own way for most things. It was just borrowed funds as opposed to properly earned ones, and she wasn’t about to take Ve’s hard-earned money anyhow. Except for the gloves. “Also, I really don’t want to consider how they might sterilize shrunken heads anyhow? Besides, it might affect them adversely.” Arguing with the heads could be awfully amusing, after all.
She’d laughed at the question. “Not as eventful as I’m guessing yours was”, she prefaced, bringing back the earlier complaints before shrugging. “Normal. Went out on Grandpa’s boat, hung out with Ster and Juli…” She was still campaigning for a “niece” or “nephew” after all, and she liked to let Juli visit with Mo too since she’s the reason she has the crup.
Vera wanted to waive off the offering of coins by her best friend, insisting she did in fact WANT to treat her today, but she also knew their obstinance was a shared trait and it was a toss up which of the girls would win if they argued over the coin now. And that was just so much wasted effort when there were many,
many other things they could have been discussing instead. So she simply took the coin, offering a "Thank you" as she did so.
"Agreed! I can't think of anyway that they could that wouldn't end up with like... low key drowning them." How much could the heads think and feel and everything too though? Were they a charmed item, were they a type of being still?? It was questions she hadn't thought to ask, but they were certainly flitting around her mind now.
"Do you think the heads can get sick from all our germs too?"
As Sia began sharing her summer, she smiled slightly at the remark, listening intently though as she continued on.
"The boat is always fun though! I'm a little disappointed we weren't able to squeeze in a trip for the two of us that way this summer too. Next year, definitely right?" It would be their last summer as Hogwarts students. They'd have to enjoy the time together while they could!
"Any news on the baby front?" Her cousin had been married for
ages now hadn't he??? Wasn't it time???!
