He was a horrible singer and, who knew, his guitar skills might be even worse. "Yeah... is that why you're out here this late? Lack of... people?" "Oh... well... at least you have one friend that stargazes for fun?" Smile. Because they were friends, yeah? They'd bumped into each other... what? Twice? Thrice? More than that? It seemed like it was enough to get onto the friendship ladder. "Oh... not too bad! There was Quidditch and that event..." The one with the long acronym. "So... yeah, not bad. I would actually like it if it wasn't for the piles of work. What about you?"
... And... Brodie seemed to be... thinking? Yeah? Something? Alec didn't know and he wasn't going to interrupt the guy's train of thoughts. Instead, he was just going to sit there and admire the guy's guitar. Because it was a COOL guitar! Guitars were generally cool, it seemed. It was just a pity that he didn't know how to play it. And then the seventh year spoke, which broke into the younger Puff's thoughts. ... Ells? "Yeah, we're still going strong," GRIN. Two years and counting! "Are you... erm..." This was awkward. "Are you dating anyone?" Someone that Alec could possibly tease Brodie about? "Only a couple months ago. After my friend had started to let me stay at his house when the weather was too bad to stay in my little hollow in a tree." He didn't have a problem admitting his old home now... He was back home with Mom and Dad now, though it was because they wanted a babysitter they wouldn't have to pay for a babysitter... but he was home. He gave a nod to his question though, "Yeah, I can hardly play and everyone in the common room might be a little ticked if they had to hear me play while they're studying or resting." He shrugged.
Brodie smiled and nodded, "I suppose I do." He paused trying again to think, "Honestly? I haven't done that much. I've written my songs, focused on classes, and had a concert with my old mates... and I guess you can count me moving back into Mom and Dad's as a big event." He paused, should he mention Damon? He felt it wouldn't be necessary but if questions kept coming about the guitar then it would be known anyways. So why not just get it out of the way, "And... well, had a friend's funeral to go to..."
He looked and gave a weak smile to Alec's looks at his old friends guitar, "It was actually his. Damon's, it was his Christmas gift to me so I could practice here..." He sighed but then looked at the guitar, "But it was a nice gift to get... despite the sadness that followed." Brodie gave a small shrug. He nodded to his answer then shook his head, "No, unfortunately not. Though there's a Ravenclaw I've liked for a while but... she doesn't want anything other than friendship." And he promised her he'd keep it at just that as little as he wanted too. So yeah, that was all that could be said for Brodie's love life at the second. |
