Afraid of what?

Bugger it. Damn firelogs. Reckon that all came out wrong. Again.

Look Padma, I don't want to stay mad at you. We've done that already and honestly, I've no desire to do it again. My intentions were never to make you feel ashamed, either. It's - you really have a gift at making a bloke want to split his head in two, you know - I was curious, is all.

No, no, not really. Worse, actually.

Afraid of... I don't know. Making you go completely spare.

Well then... perhaps we should meet in person, Mike. If you'll agree to see me.

I certainly don't want this either. We just keep getting stuck here- hurting each other without meaning to. And you think that your sentiments don't add to that shame? The same as I'm sure I'm adding to your frustration. What can I do, Mike.

It could be a good omen, you know. We've gotten through this before.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Oh. Right. Well ... I fancy I'm somewhat resilient, yeah?

If that's what you'd like.

Are you ... you reckon we made a mistake then? Because I don't I hope They're not We really should be doing this face to face

Not certain of your logic there, but I'll take your word on it.

I suppose you must be. I just wish I weren't one of the people who proved you to be so.

Don't tell me you're going to make me seek you I want what you want, whatever it is.

But... oh merlin, I can't do this here. Do you mean a mistake with our friendship, or- I cannot possibly do this here. I'm sorry.

I'm not sure of my own logic lately myself.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Please don't.

I wanted you to be absolutely certain that you I want...I reckon I'd prefer to see you, yeah.

I wasn't expecting you to. We really need to talk Are you busy now?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/]

No, I'm not busy now.

I suppose I should meet you in the common room? Or somewhere more private?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Probably be best to meet somewhere else, unless you're in favour of being the evening's entertainment. You're welcome up here if you'd like unless you can think of somewhere else.

No, I think I've had my share of public displays.

Tony and Terry wouldn't mind? Though I imagine it would be more prudent for me to come there rather than you to come here.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Terry's off somewhere, haven't seen him since dinner, and Tony's gone downstairs, muttering something about Hermione. About as private as one can ask for, all things considering. You coming, then?

...alright. I'm on my way.
