Cell 3 + 8 ~ Holly Palmers & Sebastian Bordeaux[2]

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*with skepticism*

I don't think so. We're careful, aren't we? We don't even have matching... urm-- unity bracelets.

*sprawls out on the floor and cannot recall a time when he's slept on the floor while completely sober*

*dramatically* Hol I miss your hair. I'm forgetting what colour it is.

[Holly Palmers]

It's red. *she says flatly, pulling off her hoodie to fold up a poor excuse for a pillow*

I miss my wand.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

We'll think about all of that tomorrow, Hol. Someone will hear about this soon enough.

*suddenly has a random thought burst forth*

Urm, do you have a boyfriend by any chance?

*still stretching out to get comfortable on the floor*

[Holly Palmers]

*rolls her eyes in the darkness*

Recently, actually. I was going to tell you, but stuff happened.

What are you thinking?

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*eyes widen, he had suspicions and now they were confirmed*

I don't think, Hol.

*sighs heavily*

I could tell you were different today. I can usually tell these things from a good glance or two. You weren't studying me like you used... *stops, immediately asking questions*

Do I know him? Is he cute? Would I like him?

[Holly Palmers]

*knows exactly how he was going to finish that sentence, and makes a doubtful face though he can't see it*

I don't think you would like anyone--you're like in older brother in that way really. Ahhhh....*rubs her neck, happy to play games with Sebastian, thinking he must know who it is if he has half a brain*...cute isn't the right word; he has that charming brooding thing a bit.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*does have an inkling, his mind going back to Tayllore every few seconds and feeling like grinding his teeth together every time*

Brooding... ! Does he also happen to be bookish? With mousy and dull brown hair?

*face falls before she even confirms it*

How could you go back? If you needed a mango you could have asked me for one!

[Holly Palmers]

*goes cross in the dim light*

I hope you are not assuming mango means anything more than attention and companionship--- well that and the fruit. You didn't exactly see my out there actively trying to find someone else after school, did you?

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

I meant the bloody fruit!

*shrugs, feeling even more like the willful boy he was at Hogwarts*

I guess not, Hol. I could have missed something consciously or not. A lot of drama can happen in a day... a week. Even I could overlook that.

How did all this come about?

[Holly Palmers]

Believe it or not, I meet his sister, Valley. She hasn't seen her brother in a while, like a while while, so it took the excuse to stop by his place in Hogsmeade.

*lets out a breath*

But she was called away suddenly and he looked so sad.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*makes a face, seeing the scene clearly in his mind*

That doesn't make it right.

*stands, not feeling tired anymore*

If Tayllore comes to bail us out I'm staying put.

[Holly Palmers]

*laughs earnestly*

I doubt it. He hasn't a knut, I honestly don't know how he affords to eat. Oh, on that topic, I assume you longer have your job at the candle shop.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

I-- I hadn't thought about it. You think they would hold that against me? I could buy them a bigger shop, a better shop!

*paces restlessly in his cell*

They'll welcome me back after I explain it wasn't me. Or you.

[Gabriel Rosier]

*Bustles outside of Holly and Sebastian's cells, appearing as a gray-haired wizard with a few missing teeth*

*Stands immediately outside of Holly's cell, the closer one, giving both of them a steely glare that he hopes they recognize even in this form*

Tell me what happened. Now.

[Holly Palmers]

*stands up upon hearing footsteps and comes out from the dank shadows when the old wizard appears, thinking him someone to take down their side of the story---finally*

Nothing happened, and that's the problem! We're been arrested for something we didn't do.
