Too lengthy? If it is, I’m sure we can shorten the title but yeah. That’s how we get started on a bestseller!” He threw in a wink.

The phone was eyed. “I will do no such thing, thank you very much,’’ Jude replied smoothly, quite ignoring the phone and reaching for a tuna sandwich. His stomach had so much space left despite him having consumed much already. “In any case, you’d better always be around. I mean, I know you’ll be a big shot Healer and all but…” That’s right ex-roomie! Healer, interior designer, it didn’t matter. You’d better not forget your friend!

It was a fact that Jude often forgot he was on the path to stardom and therefore would be famous. He spent a lot of his time thinking and worrying about his closest friends drifting away from him that he didn’t stop to think that he would be the one a lot busier than them. Daf’s words earned a laugh. “It’s a good thing I know you’re trustworthy! Don’t want my deep, dark secrets being spilt.” He playfully wagged a finger. “And of course, your future partner will have to pass my scrutiny. Looks, personality, intelligence, commitment level to you…” Uh huh, the entire works! Only the best for Daf!

“Kind of a miracle you never got super doughy with all the extra food,’’ Jude commented nonchalantly, now rummaging through the basket. Ooh, pickles! One was removed from the jar. Peering over at Daf, he gave an eyeroll. “As if it isn’t big and heavy already! Careful or you might need a Healer friend to perform the proper procedure for head popping.”
Dafydd nearly choked on the food he was chewing when Jude rattled off the suggested title, which caused him to laugh. His eyes were watering at this point, whether that was from the near-choking or being incredibly amused was up for interpretation (it was both). "Definitely too long," he finally responded now that he could breathe properly again. "And maybe too revealing of a title. Should leave a bit more mystery, you know?" Then he joined in on the title brainstorming session that was clearly happening. "How does 'Intimate Remedies: Dating a Healer' sound to you?"

The pre-Healer studies student feigned disappointment the instant Jude said he could not be repeating himself for the record. A sigh sounded as he swiped out of the app and set his phone down on the blanket they were sitting on. "That's alright. I can just extract the memory and use a pensieve," he replied with a smirk. As for him always being around, there was a simple response that was given. "I'll be there, don't worry." He was going to hold his friend to the same expectation, for when he became a super famous actor.

"Yes, and if you don't want those secrets spilled, you best be nice to me all the time. You can start by doing my laundry," he teased, giving his pal a wink before he nodded as Jude went through the 'background check' that he would be making whoever wound up with him in the future go through. "That's what you're here for, Love Guru Anders. Got to make sure I find Mr. or Mrs. Right and am not wasting my time."

Yet another laugh sounded following the comment about him not getting doughy with all the food he ate. This time no food had been in his mouth, so there was no choking or coughing fit. "Loads of cardio and exercise, mate. That's the secret," he said, giving his stomach a pat. He was to briefly lift up his shirt to prove as much, but he was sure the food that had been consumed wasn't doing his abs any favours right now. "Oh, don't tempt me with a good time," he grinned as he too reached for a pickle.
