Charm ☼ 006 [accidental video]

[Lily is curled up on her bed crying, the SFC on her vanity broadcasting from where she threw it after checking the list and seeing that James is gone.]

This isn't fair.

[She's kind of a mess. Oh dear.]

[The SFC makes a noise, like she's got a message and she sits up, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes. Nope, no message, but...it's on. Oh bugger it all, it's broadcasting. This is embarrassing and probably the worst possible moment. Note to self, Lily. Don't throw the SFC.]

[She clears her throat, desperately wiping her tears away and trying to smile.]

James is gone.

[And with that, a tear slips down her cheek. There's no point in continuing this, she's not going to be able to say much more, so she just shrugs helplessly and hangs up.]

And I'm glad for that, at least.

Now are you feeling up to a bite?

[he quickly finds a seat, his eyes shining when he watches her perform her magic tricks. Gosh. Life is so beautiful. Even with what harsh thing it was currently dumping on Lily's pan, life was still beautiful.

His diverted attention means he doesn't quite get the question. Well. His diverted attention and the fact that he is a dumbfuck.]

uh. Like. In a cup?

[Lily smiles, pouring the hot water into the teapot on the service tray.]

I meant...would you like cream and sugar? Lemon? Honey?

[All four float onto the island. Lily sits down next to Gamzee and the saucers and cups float off the service tray and into place in front of the two of them. The tea pours itself.]

[He is just staring, utterly transfixed. This is all so very very amazing. So motherfuckin' amazing. Miracles everywhere.]

Sugarrrr

[The word ends up oddly drawn out because half-way through saying it, Gamzee completely forgets he was talking in favour of staring some more. Holy fuckballs, magic was awesome.]

And yet, you still manage to look lovely~

Exactly...just..try to stay positive. I hate seeing you cry.

[Lily laughs. She'd forgotten that too much magic overloads Gamzee a little bit. She reaches for the sugar and places it in front of him. No magic, just sugar.]

[He puts some sugar in his tea. And some more. And a bit more. You see, living on druggerific, toxic pies for so long has completely ruined his tastebuds. He doesn't really taste things as much until they taste strong. And all the sugar? Definitely nicely on way to make the tea as sweet as his faygo.]

[Lily raises an eyebrow and sips her tea daintily. Drop of milk, no sugar.]

Got a bit of a sweet tooth there, do ya?

Yes, I could eat something. And I could use the company as well, I think.

[She laughs, pulling back and rubbing her eyes.]

I'll do my best.

[She laughs again, softly.]

I'm sure that's not true, but it's very sweet of you to say. Thank you.

I'll just throw something together, then?

"Go on as normal as you can, I suppose..." He said after a long pause, frown creasing his face even more.

"...lots of people have been leaving and coming back, I'm sure he'll be one of them."

Anything at all would be lovely, Shin. Thank you.

"I really hope so," she said with a heavy sigh. "I don't know what I'll do without him."

He was bad at this sort of thing and he knew it, clearing his throat some.

"Hey look, we'll just keep ourselves busy until he gets back, okay? There's plenty of things to do...er...shopping or something..."

Okay, he was trying at least.

She shrugged. "I suppose I should do something other than lay around in bed the entire time he's gone. James did that when Sirius died and it was dreadful. I felt like I'd lost him too. I promised myself I wouldn't fall apart like that."

She dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief. "I've not been very successful thus far."

"Then don't fall apart like this." He said matter of factly. It was the best he could offer, or at least as honest as he could be.

"You're strong, you can wait it out until he gets back." He added, shifting his weight a little.

Her eyes widened a little, a little surprised by Ron. But he was right. She nodded and blew her nose one more time before steeling her jaw. Yes. She could get through this. No problem. She sighed heavily.

"Thank you, Ron. You're right. I suppose the worst part is feeling so helpless. There's nothing I can do."

She opened the door all the way and stepped back so he could come in if he wanted.

"But there really is a possibility that he won't come back. And I'll have to deal with that. I can't sit around waiting for forever."

Another sigh as she moved in front of the mirror and attempted to make it look at least a little bit like she hadn't been crying. She turned back to Ron.

"I really hope he comes back, though."

The moment she moved in front of the mirror and was paying more attention to herself, he took the opportunity to let out a sigh of relief. He really felt like he'd gotten lucky there, managing to say the right thing to keep her calm. In fact, he felt more than a little proud of himself and found himself trying to suppress that cocky smirk from surfacing. This was a very serious moment, Ron, not a time to be celebrating...

"He'll be back, all right?" He said, offering another smile as he stepped the rest of the way through the door. "...and if he doesn't...we'll worry about that if it happens, yeah?"

She nodded. "I'm just not sure what I should do. He's been with me every day since I got here. I don't feel like I can just...go about my day like things are normal."

He was silent for a long while, leaning back against the wall and crossing his arms over his chest. Maybe...maybe a change of subject would help her out? He wrinkled his nose some before blurting out the first thing that came to mind.

"How do you feel about Quidditch?"

She smiled, because he really was trying. You're good people, Ron Weasley.

"I don't play, but I'm a big fan. James plays, I'm sure you know."

"You should play, you'd probably be brilliant at it! I mean, you're good at everything else."

Really trying and only considering glossing over the fact that everything he said managed to come back to James.

"I heard he played too, he's a chaser, right?"
