If I cared that you were paying attention I would have stopped talking to you a long time ago.

[darkart]

All right.

I spent time with whom I believe is your uncle, on the colony.

[pushfall]

[ She's not why she feels some measure of relief, but she does. It's not the end of that conversation, at least not for her, but talking about Peter has easily always been one of Claire's favorite things. ]

Peter? He's definitely the much warmer side of the family compared to my father. Hopefully. We can all get a little intense.

[darkart]

He is a bizarrely tolerant young man.

[ Severus YOU'RE TWENTY FOUR JESUS CHRIST also yeah, this means what she thinks it means, that he just himselfed at Peter, who went along swimmingly. What a trooper. ]

[pushfall]

[ Obviously this is where she gets it from. Maybe. A little. ]

He's not your student, you know. You aren't in a classroom.

[darkart]

He is a bizarrely tolerant dude.

[pushfall]

Stop it.

[darkart]

Your indecision wounds me.

[pushfall]

Your inability to find a happy medium between stern teacher and washed up surfer hurts us all.

[darkart]

I'm afraid this is just how I'm wired, Ms Bennet.

1/2

[pushfall]

I didn't sign up for this. I would have remembered choosing this as an elective.

[pushfall]

I'm weirdly glad you liked him.

[darkart]

[ hey wait he didn't say he LIKED anyone ]

So this is a hereditary affliction, this continued cheerfulness in the face of all opposition.

[pushfall]

[ Bizarrely tolerant says a lot for someone of his caliber. Claire would know. She took the classes .]

I like to think of it as aggressively positive determination. How ever will you cope.

[darkart]

Well, I'll pass on drinking.

[pushfall]

Probably a good plan of attack. What were you drinking?

[ Don't think she's done talking to you about Peter, sir. ]

[darkart]

[ So ask him about it, madam. ]

I haven't a clue as to the exact nature of space liquor. Something 'like' cognac, I believe.

[pushfall]

[ Give her a minute goodness. For now hahaha space liquor. ]

I've never had cognac. If it's anything like tequila, I feel sorry for you.

[darkart]

I'm not exactly a connoisseur of anything concerning it. Tequila sounds very American.

[pushfall]

I'm pretty sure it's very Mexican. [ You know. In all her infinite liquor wisdom. ] I had it in Mexico, anyway. It was disgusting. I can't imagine cognac being any better. Or space liquor.

[darkart]

It's pretty shit, yes.

[ Enjoy him saying that. Typing that. Whatever. ]

[pushfall]

[ Too bad smirks and snickers don't show up in texts unless there's a choice to display them involved. Maybe it's for the best, though, considering his last twenty-four hours. ]

So what did you and Peter have to talk about?

[darkart]

On-board motivation.

[pushfall]

I can't imagine either of you with pompoms.

[darkart]

Indeed, a terrifying thought.

I don't understand why 'it's difficult' is a reason for anyone to fall into complacency here.

[ Hopefully he doesn't need to clarify Peter didn't argue against that; if he had, Severus would have had some choice words about him already. ]
