Pick-up match yesterday was ace.

When's the next? All apologies to my teammates about the lack of direction I experienced a time or two over the course of the game, as well as for the score I made against you, Wood. Didn't cost us anything though in the end, yeah? Still won, buried more like, and I s'pose the looker playing Seeker on our side may've had a hand in that. Reminds me - MacDougal? My eyes are still awaiting an apology.

Cheers for the bruise on my arse, Smith. It's made sitting a right adventure and walking a riot.

Fuck, it felt good to fly.

Congratulations on the win, mate. Wish I could've seen it, but... yeah.

Lemme know how the Undead Tour goes, yeah?

Wish you could've been there, Tony. Terry was a sight as well. Take my word for it though when I tell you're better off not seeing me fall on my arse.

It's been good for Padma so far, least I'm hoping so. Seems to be, anyroad. Mite strange seeing them as I remembered them. They haven't aged at all. Ackerly still looks like a runty third year.

Pansy says you're missing me, so no worries about telling me yourself, yeah? Being the brilliant mate I am, I already knew it.

What'd you mean, you know I'm always in the mood to see you fall on your arse.

Is he? Damn, this whole thing's so fucked up. How'd he deal with the being dead thing? And Orla?

She said that, did she?

Never felt the love more than I'm feeling it now, mate.

They were both confused about it but thankful to be back. Ackerly didn't say much of anything, but Quirke wasn't shy about sharing how she's ruddy glad to be back with her family and friends. In the end, don't know how anyone's supposed to deal with coming back from the dead. It's not like there's a handbook or anything.

Amongst other sordid secrets, yeah.

Yeah? Huh, and they say the excitement tends to fade with time.

Don't know, there's bound to be one by now. Hard to believe no one's seen the opportunity to swim in gold yet, mate. How's your dad, by the way? They found a house yet?

Wouldn't be that quick to believe it, you know. She was probably just trying to make you feel better, mate.

Ouch. Dagger to my already fragile heart.

I'll get my dad started on it straightaway. Be the kind of thing he'd be interested in, having worked in a publishing house and all. He's alright, I reckon. Been finding ways to keep himself busy whilst he searches for a job. No house yet either but they've looked at a few. My mum's missed Northampton, so they're looking there.

Nice try, mate. I know Pansy well enough to know she'd not say anything for the sake of making anyone feel better.

Just meant they're obviously wrong, of course. You know you live in my heart and all that rot.

Seriously, mate, goldmine. And tell them good luck for me, yeah?

First time for everything, I reckon.

You don't have to feel guilty, Tony, about not meeting us. I mean, if you are feeling guilty. They're both fine.

All right?

I really wish I could've been there, you know that, yeah?

We're fine. I mean, it's... fuck, not really, no. It's not alright at all.

I know you do.

...no, I don't reckon it is. I hope- I didn't actually read your post to the DA as I was distracted- but perhaps they came up with- something?

Nothing that'd be worth the risk, no.

Your safety- and Pansy and Millicent's- is always worth the risk, Tony. Please tell me if there's anything I can do.

Can't even think of anything I can do, Padma. It's... you can try not to worry, alright?

You say you're not doing well, Tony; what exactly should I do? If I knew where you were, I could send supplies as needed.

I wish I could tell you, but it's... it's fucking worse than I thought, way worse, and just stay out of it, ok? That's what you can do for me.

I'm sorry. You can't keep telling me how bad it is and expect me not to feel anything.

I'll always look out for you, Tony.

No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. I should be looking out for you, too.

Looking out for me how? I'm fine, Tony, I promise. I'm to be married in- good Merlin, less than a month. I wish you could be there.

Damn, is it that soon already? I... I reckon we can hope this whole mess's sorted by then, but fuck, who're we kidding, it probably won't be. Damn it, Padma, can't believe I'll miss it.

Yeah... it doesn't feel like it should be that soon. I'm- in no way prepared, I mean for the actual festivities. Your support, Tony, is all I, all we, can ask for.

You're... prepared for the actual being married, then?

You'll always have my support.

I think so, yes. I can't tell you how much I wish to be married, Tony, how much I want a family again. I love Mike so much- I just can't wait to be his wife sometimes.

Do you feel- prepared- in your marriage?

I'm glad you feel that way, Padma.

Well, what- what'd you mean by 'prepared'?

I suppose I mean- do you feel you're able to handle the- ups and downs of being a husband? Or do you wish... you'd waited?

Ah. You know we had to- it's not like we... had a choice over when it happened, ultimately.
