Anthony? You look... distracted.

Oh, anxious!

[bluebronze_gold]

*glance up at her, hand not moving on the parchment*
I... Erm... Do I?

*nods* ANd he's not being terribly responsive up there... *pokes him*

[goodasredgold]

*with the verbal equivalence of crossing her arms*
Well, yes.

*gentler*
Is it... Is everyone you know okay?

[bluebronze_gold]

Oh my god. "The verbal equivalence of crossing her arms" That's the best expression ever... SOOOO very Hermione! *adores you*

*blushes at her tone*
Oh. Sorry.

*shoulders roll under his shirt and he tries to keep his voice even*
Just my- erm... my friend... He's had to leave where he works, the art studio, because of You-Know-Who.

[batbogey_hex]

*knocks softly on the studio door before opening it*
*peeks around, expression concerned*

*gently*
Anthony? I'm sorry for just coming in, but I... you seemed a bit off when the owls came at breakfast. Is -- is everything all right?

Ginny tells me that she noticed something was wrong, but didn't know or understand why. She's wasn't certain if it was bad news or not, because she didn't see Anthony recieve an owl at breakfast -- I guess she didn't know that that was the reason, wasn't it?

Poor Anthony. :(

[bluebronze_gold]

*is standing at the window, toying with a piece of charcoal*
*turns around a bit, attempting a smile at her but his expression is pinched*
He hasn't written back yet. M'sure he's just getting settled where he's going or maybe is still traveling but... He hasn't written back yet.

[batbogey_hex]

*hesitates a beat then steps in, closing the door quietly behind her*
*crosses the room to him, placing a hand gently on his shoulder*
*smiles faintly, though concern edges the expression*

I'm sure he'll write to you as soon as he can. Maybe it's not safe for him at the moment to send an owl? I'm not sure, but...
*squeezes his shoulder reassuringly*
You'll hear from him soon.

[bluebronze_gold]

*shoulders tense at the touch and he blushes*
*looks at her gratefully*
Yeah... M'sure. Probably not. Expect he can't go to his aunt and uncle's house, wouldn't want to put them in danger.

*lets out a breath and offers her a more succesfull, but faint smile*
Thanks.

[synodic_pup]

*wibbles and frets, but keeps the good professor in the dark as yet*

[bluebronze_gold]

*snuggles you and the good professor* Two more letters.

[harrysmate]

All right, Anthony? How's life? *whistles 'Weasley is our King'*

Sorry, Ron is extremely oblivious at times!

[bluebronze_gold]

*glances at him, eyes edge with worry*
*flatly* Erm.. yeah. Fine. Just brilliant even.

No worries. *adores*

*waves*
*quiet*
Hi, Anthony. How are you today?
