Morgan P. Nickles EraAll historical records pertaining to Ministry of Magic RPG under Minister for Magic, Morgan P. Nickles [IC January 2094 - December 2096; OOC October 2017 - October 2018]
The tables have been turned, apparently. In a, sort of, good way, that is.
Mordred had to concentrate on his breathing, trying not to panic when Sophie was obviously panicking. He knew it won't do them any good. Besides, he was the chill one in their relationship, so it was easy to keep his emotions at bay. He had prepared himself for that conversation anyway. Just like in any game, the outcome of their conversation will either be a win or lose situation.
So far, so good.
The dragonologist had a grin on his face, as he massaged Sophie's hand. While they were both silent, Mordred was already imagining things like...massaging Sophie's back when her belly's gone too large...or maybe her feet when she can no longer walk properly...Merlin. All those things, he knew, Sophie will have to endure while she carried their child. The former Slytherin then looked at his wife, and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Sophie." Of course, he wanted for them to have a child. He just couldn't imagine the things that she has to go through to give him one. How in the world can he even repay her for that, yeah?
It didn't take long for her to give him an answer. Mordred knew she wanted to have kids, but his wife was too kind to consider his reluctance. "We'll do this together." he finally said, hugging the woman beside him. "Though, I may have...cheated a bit. I did some light reading months ago about pregnancy, so...I won't be too...shaken." Mordred held his breath, hoping that Sophie won't get mad about his secret stash of parenthood magazines in his office desk. "I just...needed a bit of self help to get through my anxiety..." Well, she can do some light reading too if she wants? Mordred will be more than happy to give the semi-battered magazines to her.
Right, bouncing on her seat was probably not a very good idea now, especially since she was still kind of trying to keep Mordred from panicking. Seeming like she was super excited about having a baby could make things blow out of proportion and the last thing she wanted was to freak him out to the point he regreted having started that conversation in the first place.
Aw <33 Sophie hugged her husband back because he was the best. Her eyes did widen and she distanced herself a little bit from him so she could look up at his face when he said he had cheated a bit. What in the world could that even mean???
????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!
At first she couldn't believe it, but then Mordred's words made her chuckle. "Light reading about pregnancy?" Now she was amused! So he was more afraid of when she was pregnant than actually have an infant to look after? "I promise I won't be terrible when I'm pregnant." Or at least she would try. How much could someone actually change while pregnant, though? Not much, she didn't think?
................Elliot, though. That one changed. A lot. And by a lot she meant a LOT. It even scared Sophie a little.
Right, back to their reality. "I'll try to stay the same." ...Could she promise that? Well, she already had. Now she would have to hope for the best.
She smiled at him and squeezed his hands a little as she finally bounced slightly. He needed a bit of self help. How adorable was that? "I know. That's okay. There's no need to be anxious though, yeah?" Sophie brushed some of his amazingly wonderful hair off his forehead. "We're okay. I mean, nothing's happened yet. And it'll only happen when... you're... ready." ... "Yeah?"

Well Tori hadn't known WHAT to think of that mysterious owl she had received. Obviously she had tried to trace it, using all the wealth of erm, resources, at her disposal at the Daily Prophet. Needless to say, that wasn't much, so the girl who used to go by the nickname of princess didn't have a lot of options. Did she want to know who her supposed Anonymous Admirer was? Yes. Did she want to get her hopes up for nothing? No. Did she want an excuse to dress up and have a night out on the town? Yes.
The yes-es won out over the no-s, and so Tori appeared in the park at precisely 18:00, dressed to the nines, her hair long, loose and wavy, her fur draped loosely about her shoulders as a princess' would, her lipstick on and perfectly matte. (Princesses didn't always wear glossy, see.) She looked around eagerly for the confetti, taking a few shy, high-heeled steps toward the nearest streetlamp to see if she could spot it.
All she hoped was that this really really REALLY wasn't a prank by one of her friends. Okay? Just don't stand her up, Anonymous Admirer. That was all she wanted.

Paulie was hiding behind a big Oak tree and peeking out at his surroundings for any sign of her. His gray sweater most closely resembled knight armor, and thus the basis for wearing it. Okay, it was also a comfy, CLASSY sweater. He sniffed his sleeve to make sure he remembered cologne. He did say six o'clock, right? He glanced down at his watch that read six o'clock on the dot, and when he looked back up, there she was. And.... whoa.
Whoa, she looked stunning. And, for a short period, he WAS stunned. His eyes just kinda soaked her up for a nice little while, leaving him blissfully unaware of how he was allowing her to stand there with no crown confetti to follow.
Oops.
Now, he DID snap out of it, of course. And when he did, the excitement began to stir in him, and a grin found its way onto his face. After retrieving his wand from his back pocket, he gave it a flick and watched as little shimmery crown shapes sprinkled at Tori's feet. He directed them along the pathway, around a park bench with a sleeping old man, over to the pond, IN the pond, back onto the pathway, and eventually over to the Oak tree where he was. Now, he could have directed her on a straight path from where she was now to where he was, but where was the fun in that?

Tori continued to walk forward a few paces into the light, her hazel eyes still subtly sweeping the path in front of her should her secret admirer show up. She was supposed to be following some kind of confetti, but there was nothing here.
And then she caught it, a piece of crown-shaped confetti just landing on the tip of her shoe. She grinned excitedly and followed the trail, her heels clicking more quickly as she traced the confetti off the path, past a sleepy bum on a bench, around the pond (because she most definitely was NOT going INTO it), and then over to the big tree. Tori was almost out of breath as she tip-toed to a stop by the old oak, because she had to run on her toes and not on her heels or they would sink in. And she was certainly surprised to see...
"Paulie?" Tori panted, putting a hand out on the tree and peeking around it to see who her secret admirer was. Uhhhhhh. Hmm. "What are you doing here? You haven't seen any crown-shaped confetti, have you?" She peeked around the tree again to see if her admirer was coming up. What WAS Paulie doing here though? Trying to ruin this for her? She ought to shoo him away!

Paulie watched, all too amused, as Tori followed wherever the confetti fell. Some tip-toeing here, a little hustle there. Now he didn't actually believe that she would really go into the pond, so it came as no surprise when she opted to scoot around it instead.
And then he watched as she finally approached him. He was all grins, and though he would never openly admit it, he was nervous. Excited nervous! But nervous nonetheless. Like he was fifteen again.
When she neared him, Paulie opened his mouth to speak, but was beaten to it. And..whut. Was that a QUESTION MARK he heard? No, no. The way this went in his head, it was 'Paulie exclamation mark.' Not Paulie Question Mark! But as she went on with more questions, his grin became a little more impish. Oh yes, he could roll with this for a little....
"Could ask ya the same thing! OR I could ask ya why you're so dolled up." He swept his hand over the furry white garment she was wearing, a single eyebrow raised. "Who's it for, huh?"

Yeah he COULD ask her the same thing but she was just following the spidersbutterflies confetti as her directions had said!
She raised an eyebrow right back at him as he boldly reached out to touch her fur. Not that she was minding, or anything, unless her hottie secret admirer was watching, and then decided he wasn't going to come out of hiding. Oh no! What if that DID happen?! Tori gently swatted Paulie's hand away as she thought of a comeback.
"Well I could ask you the same thing!" The redhead retorted unoriginally. She reached out and brushed her hand on his fine gray sweater. "OR I could ask why you're spying on me from behind a tree.... someone might think you're up...... to something...."
But not her. It still hadn't occurred to Tori that Paulie could be the secret admirer.

Oh, he wasn't ALLOWED to touch her furry garment? His hand got swatted away, huh? But when SHE touched his sweater, Paulie allowed that. Bigger person and all that. Okay maybe he just liked the touching so what.
"I was lookin' out for ya! Saw some tall, dark, an' handsome guy over here by this tree who was spyin' on YOU, so I pushed him in the pond and he never came out." Now THAT.... was an utter and complete fib. Quick thinking, though. Yes, he'd spin this just a little longer.

"Ya should be thankin' me, really."
Tori didn't PET Paulie's sweater like it was still a sheep though. Silly boy. Furs weren't for petting.
"But why here? Why right n--- WAIT WHAT?! PAULIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Tori swatted him harder now, and not just because she liked this playful banter. He had just PUSHED her SECRET ADMIRER INTO THE POND! BASICALLY! PROBABLY! "That guy was probably my secret admirer!!" she whined, leaning against him and yet simultaneously trying to peek around the tree to see the pond again.
Wait, did that even make sense? "Thank you for TAKING AWAY my ONE CHANCE for ETERNAL HAPPINESS?!?!" Wasn't that how these things went?

Heh.
Here it comes...
The YELLING. And the- "Owww," Paulie complained, and he rubbed the spot where she ACCOSTED him though somehow still with a smile on his face. He let his grin widen when she leaned on him because it wasn't like she could see it now anyway. "Secret admirer?" Did that surprise sound convincing? Yes? Oh yes, he thought so.
He slipped his hands around her and rested them on her back. Still wearing a little grin, Paulie leaned back some to look down at her. "So you're sayin' that Mr. Tall Dark 'N Handsome was your one an' ooooonly chance for eternal happiness?" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

"Yes, secret admirer," Tori repeated, sighing at the end because obviously it wasn't a secret anymore. "Maybe Anonymous Admirer is the better word... that's what his note had said, anyway..."
She peeked up at him. Hmm. Awfully cozy there, wasn't he? But the redhead wasn't exactly running over into the pond or anything. "Weellllllll I didn't say ONLY chance.... I said ONE chance..." She couldn't stop the small grin sneaking on her lips. "I might have one MORE chance, maybe TWO more in this life...." Why, was he offering?

Paulie simply contained his smirk when she mentioned the Anonymous Admirer and his note.
It was cozy. She was a good height for him to rest his limbs on her. He tilted his head to the side and lifted his eyebrows when she clarified that she'd said ONE chance. Not only. "'S that so?" A few more chances out there for her, then. Ones who weren't at the bottom of that pond. "Well, that's good to know 'cause, uh," he ran his hands over her furry clothing again. ".. 'Cause I didn't actually push anyone in that water, ya know." The fib was up. And now.. NOW he gave a low, slightly nervous chuckle and removed his arms from her so that he could lean down to his bag. When he stood back up, there was a pink, foam crown in his hands that he promptly placed on her head.
"There. I'd say that's fit for a Princess." And it did, LITERALLY, fit her well, too. A wide grin stretched its way onto his face. "Oh, and..." He retrieved a handful of extra confetti from his pocket and gingerly sprinkled it into her hair and over her. "S'more o' that too." Finishing touch, you know.

Yes that was so. Look at how smooth and cutesy Paulie was being. He definitely had something up his sleeve... or was it in his bag? Tori hadn't even noticed the bag the first time she'd trotted over here, all intent on the confetti as she was. This time when he touched the fur shrug, she didn't swat at him. She was all eyes and ears for the big reveal... something was coming, she was sure of it.
Then he produced the crown and the extra confetti. There it was. "YOU'RE the admirer," the redhead said and grinned, real wide, the kind of grin that makes your cheeks hurt from smiling. "I knew it. I KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME." Fibbbb. "I mean," she gently touched her foam crown so it sat on her head a jaunty, party angle, "who else actually calls me princess?"
She let out a giggle and bounced up on her toes to wrap her arms around Paulie's neck, a ploy which also tugged him back closer to her. "Good job, Lemonade Knight." Tori pecked him on the cheek. He could have ONE MORE OF THOSE CHANCES with her. Maybe. Depending on what he said next.

He WAS the admirer.
Now she was catching on here. And okay, her body language was giving him good signs. "Oh, yeah riiiiiiight. Ya looked like YOU were 'bout ready to push ME in the lake when I told ya what I did." Or supposedly did. You know. Didn't actually do. Although she was right about that one: no one else - that he knew of - called her Princess. The hint was totally intended, though. Naturally. "Yeah well, couldn't let ya be whisked away by a rugged Auror man, could I?" Who needed those anyway?
His smile went lopsided as she tip-toed up to give him a peck on the cheek. He got all the good feelings when she got nice and close like that. The Lemonade Knight, yes. Heh. Now, more-than-cheek-kisses were certainly in order here, but first he did think he ought to properly ask her. Didn't want any miscommunication now, yeah? No ASSUMPTIONS. "Sooooooo," he squeezed her sides and pulled her closer into him. "You'll give this lemonade knight one more shot, then? Could even bribe ya with explodin' lemonade, if that's what it takes."

Tori let out a loud giggle, then contained herself a little as she kept looking back up at him. "I don't think Louisa was ever really going to set me up. You had nothing to worry about." She wrinkled her nose at him playfully... but really. Louisa didn't like sharing, see? She hardly shared Paulie as it was.
Anywaaaaaaay. Tori almost squeaked when Paulie pulled her in. She liked being this close... it had just been a long time that she'd been this close to Paulie. "I guess you can have ONE date with me. One at a time. We take this slow?" She was being serious now, though she did peek down at his bag. "You have explodin' lemonade in there? Is that safe, sir?"

So, Louisa hadn't been planning to set her up after all? All that talk of buff, Auror men a lie? Pfft. "Well, no wonder. She talks up all those guys juuuuuust 'cause she's datin' one, when really WWN men are the ones ya want." Hehe. Wasn't that right? But really, even if he wasn't racing against any Aurors, Paulie needed to at least get a hold on her before someone else did.
"One at a time," Paulie repeated with a nod and a smile. "I can work with that." In fact, taking it slow was how he preferred it this time around. Why YES, that was actually true. He followed her eyes down to his bag, then looked back at her with a grin. "Well, ya know I like to live daaangerously."
At this point he did pull away from her, but only so he could kneel down and pull the stuff out of his bag. "See how prepared I am? Ya impressed?" Oh yes, he'd put a little effort into it. Mmmmmmhm. He let the blanket fall open and spread it over the grass before patting on it for her to sit. Now, the lemonade..

Tori was surprised Paulie hadn't figured that out. But maybe it was because he was her guy BFF, and guys were more sensitive about competition and whatever. Tori just knew girls didn't like to share. "I guessssssss that's true. I mean, not all Aurors are buff, and not all radio news guys are total geeks. I guessssssss." She might need to give Paulie's bum arm a squeeze just to check his geekiness. Hehe.
So, that was settled! "Good." Tori beamed at him, then at his daaaaaaangerous bag, then back to him. He WAS prepared. "Merlin! If you weren't a wizard and a knight, I might call you a Boy Scout." SO much more prepared than the first time they'd been dating. Look at that, how smooth that blanket-unfurl was. Heh. She took a small step back from him but caught his hand, using it as a support as she sank gently to the blanket. Had to be lady-like and princess-like and all, in this outfit.
"Be careful. This fur is terribly difficult to clean." Hehe. Tori did not fancy getting lemonade all over her already. She wiggled her eyebrow at Paulie, curious to see what else he had in the bag.

Whaaaaat? "Radio personalities have a reputation for being geeky!?" Paulie blinked and thought about the people he worked with. Hmmh. Well, okay some of them were geeky, yeah..... The ones who only did news and boring stuff. Gosh, were they giving HIM a bad rep? No, no. Everyone liked Nargle Soup with Paulie Foster. Of course they did.
Wizard, knight, boy scout. "Oh, I can be whatever ya want me to be, baby," he winked in mock-smoothness. And then proceeded to serve as support when she sat. See? He was good for something.
"I'll protect ya from any lemonade attacks. No worries about THAT, Princess." Honestly though, exploding lemonade DID seem to have a thing for sticking to him in particular. But he'd save the drinks for last, anyway. "So, first we've got some yummy candy floss," he told her as he produced it from the bag. Nice and pink, yeah? Then he took out a red and white striped tub of popcorn. "See? Carnival food since we met at a carnival." He nudged her with that last word.
Now, the carnival food did kinda clash with the whole Princess theme, but that was definitely unavoidable. They didn't MEET in a castle. Nope. They'd met before they went to Hogwarts, on the streets of decked out Diagon Alley.

"I've seen some of the dorks you work with, no offense, dear," Tori patted his knee as they sat down. But really, all the wizarding journalists knew each other. "Some of them try realllllly hard to be funny and get a laugh from the listeners. But it just ain't working for 'em. We all know they have plaid shirts and bowties and pants that are hemmed too short for them."
She let out a soft snort at his hitting on her. "Good. Because I have a LONG list of things I want you to be," she practically sang, getting her fingers out to tick them off. "Smart, funny, charming, tall, loyal, rich, mannerly, polite, honest, brave, hot...." Just a few things on her list, see.
Tori beamed at his use of her nickname and leaned back on the blanket. Oh, candy floss was first, eh? "Shouldn't we floss after we eat?" She giggled. But popcorn, yes please! That was the perfect appetizer. The redhead reached out for the bucket and popped a few pieces in her mouth. Ohhhhh a CARNIVAL theme, eh? "Did you theme this in case I'd forgotten how I met you?" She let out a real adult laugh now. Not a mocking laugh, just a genuine laugh of amusement at all his effort. She appreciated it. If only she could show her appreciation somehow...

Dorky attire and trying too hard to get people to laugh. Well. OKAY, so that did sound like SOME of them. Certainly not HIM. "Maybe you're just a lil' defensive 'cause THEY happen to be your competition." Hmm? Hmmmmmmm? Paulie smirked.
A long list - ? Ah. Oh Merlin, here it was. Paulie gave a quiet chuckle and shook his head as she listed all the things she wanted him to be. "Oh, and that's all, huh?" Although, to be honest, he did think he could check mark a few of those off that list. Might have to work on one or two......
He laughed at her cheesy comment about the candy floss and poked her side. "Gotta comedian on my hands. 'M sorry, cotton candy." C-AAAA-NDY. How very American. He liked it. So she did pick up on the parallel to how they met. Good. Of course she did. "Psssht. I knew ya didn't forget. But I'm still the lemonade knight to your princess, so I thought I oughtta bring in the whole carnival food stuff like that day, ya know." See? It WAS relevant. Distantly. Sorta. It was, though. Yes.
He scooted closer to her and leeaaned over her to snatch a piece of popcorn out of her hand with his teeth. Mm. Tasted better that way.

"Defensive?!" Tori fired back defensively. "Ha, not me, not ever. I think our loyal readers know who the real journalists are. We have to go out and get the news, see, we don't just wait for it to wander into our offices for an interview some people might or might not hear." Pffffft. She could wipe that smirk right off his face, and did, as she reached out to pinch his little dimples.
Yeah, that was all. Tori smiled innocently and popped another few bites of popcorn in her mouth. "I might have forgotten a few, what can I say." Did she mention that he had to be named Paulie? Hmm?
"Caaaaaaaandy, there, that's more like it. I see you learned a thing or two about how to talk during all your world travelin'." Tori liked leaving the g off words, thought it made her sound more like Paulie. Hehe. "So what else did ya remember from our meeting?" Hmm? Tori could think of a few things about that wonderful summer day.
Wait, what was he--- "Are you a CAT?" Tori let out a loud giggle and offered her hand out, palm up, so he could snatch another silly popcorn bite. "Here, kitty kitty. That's a good boy." She used her free hand to ruffle up his hair, of course. Or she could just toss the popcorn at him, see how much he could catch...

"Hey, news is news! Not my fault if people like hearin' it from WWN better than The Prophet." Her efforts in removing his smirk in fact worked AGAINST her because when she pinched those very attractive dimples, it only made him grin wider. Perhaps it DID eliminate the smugness, though......
Plus a few, huh? Well, Paulie was always up for a challenge.
SPEAKING of learning how to talk, "Oh, but I think it's you who learned a thing or two 'bout talkin'. Droppin' all those 'g's? Mhm, they say ya pick up habits from the people ya hang out with most." In other words, her favorite people. Paulie was clearly a favorite. Obviously.
When she asked what else he remembered about that day, his lips twitched a tad. "Well, there's the explodin' lemonade soakin' me o' course. Me takin' my shirt off - at your request, might I add - to reveal what was, I'm sure, a real toned, muscly fifteen-year-old bod.." Ahem. "And then.." His grin went a little crooked as he grazed his fingers up the inside of her forearm. "Well, Merlin knows I couldn't ever forget that kiss.."
Mmmm, he could almost taste the strawberry.
He laughed when she called at him like he was a cat and then opened her hand to offer up some more pieces. Now, there weeeere a few other choice parts of Tori that he wouldn't mind eating popcorn from. "Got me eatin' outta the palm o' your hand already." And he didn't waste this opportunity to snatch another piece from her hand, his hair still a mess from her ruffling. "Ya know," he finished chewing and swallowed, "I think you're the cat. You're the one with all the fur."

You're the one with all the fur."
"I never said people LIKE the WWN bettttttter," Tori still protested, albeit weakly because Paulie's charming grin was incredibly infectious. "You just keep your radios away from my precious papers. We're the PROVEN medium, ya know. Been around for years and years and years and years." And they would still be around for even MOAR years. But ENOUGH ABOUT THAT. They should talk about ... about talking!
Tori grinned as he caught on to her g-droppin'. "Ya know they say this and they say thaaaaaaat," Tori again did a decent Paulie impression. "We have been hanging out a lot though. So did ya start hangin' around me so you could ask me out orrrrr was it the hangin' out that made ya think ya had a chance with me?" All Paulie-mocking aside, that was a kinda serious question. She batted her eyelashes at him innocently to see what he'd say.
Mmmhmm, yep, the exploding lemonade, the shirt-taking-off, the kiss.... Tori's back tingled a little at Paulie's touch. "That must have must been such a formative memory for you, to be stuck in your head like that." She smirked. "Was that your first kiss, Paulie Foster?" Just curious, you know, like the curious journalist she was WITHOUT revealing that he had been her first kiss.
Hehehe. Eatin' out of the palm of her hand. "As it should be," the Princess sing-sang. Look at how adorable his hair looked now. Just purrrfect, pun intended. "I'm a PRINCESS, not a cat. Do you want to wear this, kitty, since you're so infatuated with my purrrfect fur?" :3

Paulie roooolled his eyes as Tori noted that The Daily Prophet had been around for years and years and years and years. "Hey, old age doesn't make it any better!" Now The Prophet WAS of course most people's go-to source of news, but Paulie couldn't actually say that. He had to protest. Not to mention that he got ample amusement from her vehement comebacks.
He grinned and shook his head as she mimicked him once again. She was getting surprisingly good at sounding like him, too. He took a few pieces of popcorn and munched on them while she asked her questions. "Both, I reckon," he answered thoughtfully. He suddenly flashed a smile at her and left it at that.
Formative memory. Heh. No, it certainly wasn't something he could forget, that kiss. "Well, ya know what they say 'bout first loves." He nudged her with his elbow. But really, though. It was always different with Tori. He gave a laugh when she asked whether it had been his first kiss. "First reciprocated kiss," he laughed again. Believe it or not, Paulie Foster hadn't exactly been hot stuff at good old Beauxbatons. Hogwarts was WAY cooler anyway. "Was it yours?" First smooch?
Tori here was very adamant about being a princess and NOT a cat. But she did seem totally fine with deeming him a cat. That fur shawl thing was so soft, though! How was he supposed to not touch it? That being said, he reached his hand over and petted the thing again before discreetly moving his hand so that he could tug her closer to him. "You'd get chilly without that thing, so I'd have to give ya my nice knight sweater in return.."

Suuuuuure age didn't make it better. Tori rolled her eyes playfully too. "Age makes a LOT of things better, like wine and cheese and you!" She might have slipped that last one in there to get him to cede to her side, plus she did elbow him back in a good-natured way.
Hmm, Paulie was being a bit mysterious over there. Unusually quiet, or maybe mature was the better word. Tori eyed him for a moment, and thought about pressing him to give her a REAL answer, but instead she just wrinkled her nose at him in a smile and picked up another handful of popcorn. "I'm glad ya did, either way."
Hehe. Tori giggled for sure at the word reciprocated. "I can picture you trying to kiss a lot of frog princesses before you found the right one," she trilled, flipping her hair out a bit because OBVIOUSLY she was the right one. "Maaaaaaaaaaybe," the redhead replied slowly, "or maaaaaaaaybe not. I was homeschooled before venturing out into the big, bad world of Diagon Alley." So yeah, she hadn't had a bunch of opportunities to pick up guys. "Plus I'm younger than you!" Therefore, no making her feel bad about her first kiss being with Paulie Foster.
Smooth move there, knight. Tori silently approved as she snuggled a little closer there. "Well if you took your sweater off, you might get caught by some big, studly Auror for public indecency... and then your whole plan would be ruined!" Hehe, wouldn't that be kinda ironic-funny though?

Like wine and cheese and HIM, huh? Age made him better, eh? Paulie pursed his lips and thought about that one. "I don't even know if that's a compliment, but I'll take it as one!" Though if he thought about it, Tori probably ought to be included in that category too.
Paulie grinned when she finally responded to that. Yes. Him, too.
FROG being the key word there. He was still grinning in amusement, mind you. That little hair flip gave him a nice, little whiff of that perfume again, too. Mmmmmm. "Exactly! Was lucky I got a reeeaaal princess to actually kiss me," he smiled. Now, Tori was being all secretive about whether or not he was her first kiss, but he thought maybe yes. He was. Why ELSE would she mention that she had been home-schooled/not expooooosed to as many school boys by that point? He simply laughed when she even added, slightly defensively, the whole 'Plus I'm younger than you!' remark. Heeeeeh. She was cute, really. "Your kiss was the first that meant anythin', and that's what counts." He ate some more popcorn himself. "'Course you were quite lucky to lock lips with me that day, though! With such a hunky dreamboat of a knight an' all."
Yes, he liked this snuggling closer business. Oh yes. But... BUT! Caught by a 'studly' Auror? As if! "First! I've got an undershirt beneath my sweater." He wasn't a savage here. "And secondly, no laaaaame Auror's gonna keep me away from my very attraaaactive date here." Griiiin.
