Hullo.

[ And the smiling, freckled face of one Ginny Weasley is all up in this locket. She's clearly outside, soaking in the sunshine as she pulls back so her face isn't filling up the view. ]

There's been loads of talk lately about learning how to fight. Well, fight in other ways, proper swords and all. I reckon I got by all right with my wand during the worm fiasco but I can't deny that's a good thought. Merlin knows I've considered it. [ She laughs. ] Especially since I can imagine my mum in fits over me swinging a sword around.

[ She pauses, then, biting her lip around a thoughtful smile before scrambling forward (carefully) to hang her locket off a low branch of a tree in the bailey. She's sprawled (perhaps rather unladlylike, given the gown she's still getting used to wearing) on a stone bench, a broomstick in her lap, and she looks positively pleased about it. ]

But this is what I'm really excited about. I've had it since the fighting was over, as a gift... [ But she was still a little too banged up to use it. BUT NOW. ] It'd be nice, don't you think, to explore this place a bit? Beyond the castle. I'd love to see what's out there, properly out there.

[ Ginny releases the broom and it rises gently into the air. She touches it fondly. ]

Can't say I fancy flying in a dress, though. Am I allowed trousers here?

Comments

[hexuality]

Yeah, I know a spell that makes fire similar to that. You could hold it in your hands.

[ Curious. ]

If the sword repels magic, would a rune work on it? Or you could make another just for that...

[bullhorned]

I didn't make my sword to reflect magic. [He touches his sword, sheathed and hanging by a peg on the wall.] This is old, cheap metal. I ain't yet made a new sword for myself yet.

ugh my mistake OH WELL ROLLING WITH IT

[hexuality]

[ Oh. She colours a bit, maybe assumed they'd given him more metal than for just a shield, huffs out a breath. ]

Then who knows if it can stand magic at all, but there's no harm in trying. I'll see if I can't find anything, yeah? Or someone more, er, qualified.

it's nbd!

[bullhorned]

[He pays no mind to her embarrassment. Or at least, not with words. There's a slight grin, that fades just as soon as it forms.]

Thank you. [A pause.] 'course, if there's something you want me to do for you, you only got to ask. [He reckoned she'd given him much of her time now, so it was only decent her repay it. He was not the sort to just impose on someone and then move on.]

[hexuality]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks, Gendry.

[bullhorned]

[He nods to the rune.] You keep that one for now, 'til you find someone who knows what to do with it.

[hexuality]

You're sure?

[ Never mind that she will later fall into an enchanted sleep for three weeks so it'll do little good with her, buuuut. ]

[bullhorned]

[A shrug.] Until you find someone what can do something with it, it's only a pretty stone to me. And I've plenty of those already.

[hexuality]

[ She grins a bit, thinking back to the jewel he handed her during the worm attacks. ]

Yeah, I reckon you do. I'll keep an eye on it for you, all the same. [ And she pockets it. ] I'll leave you to your work, now.

[bullhorned]

[He nods, now with a small smile that hinted at amusement.]

Aye. I'll leave you to your broom flying.

[hexuality]

See you around.

[ AND OFF SHE GOES. ]
