over the hills and far away

[Pippin LeBeau]

you strike me as a scoundrel, mr. quinn.

[Adam Quinn]

There ain't nothing wrong with having a bit of fun every now and again, is there? I daresay you oughta like me for it, if you know what's good for you.

[Pippin LeBeau]

that was caught somewhere between a flirt and a threat. it was a flreat. if that's your flirting style, it scares me a little bit but in a good way.

in any case, i enjoy having fun times myself, so fortunately we have that in common.

[Adam Quinn]

Did you just make up a word, Blondie?

What kind of fun times do you enjoy having?

[Pippin LeBeau]

yep.

i like quidditch. i also enjoy eating. and food, basically. snowshoeing, skiing. did a lot of skating when i went home for the hols. hunting, fishing. tree climbing. i also like knitting and crochet. made my own mittens last year. it was a proud moment in pippin history.

and yourself?

ps - speaking of crochet, do you need a hat? i started one a few days ago but messed up and it's too big for my head. it's navy blue so it's not too girly.

[Adam Quinn]

I like Quidditch too. And eating things, killing things, making things, fixing things, riding things, driving things, sailing things, smoking things, and thinking about things.

Sure, I'll take your hat. I'm sure it'd bring out the color in my eyes.

[Pippin LeBeau]

i've often wondered what you'd catch if you fished in the lake. reckon i could hook a mermaid? or a hunky merman?

the mechanics of smoking confuse me. it's like... burny. on your throat. and you have to suck in but you also have to exhale. although, i've always liked seeing people make smoke rings.

making what sorts of things? what do you think about?

[Adam Quinn]

We could test it out.

I can make smoke rings.

Chairs, clocks, a headboard, a book case... I don't know, whatever I feel like, I guess.

[Pippin LeBeau]

you'd have to build me a fishing rod since mine's at home. and i ain't touchin' no bugs.

oooooooooooo. think i need to see proof of this.

do you use magic or is it muggle style?

[Adam Quinn]

Wimp.

Aw, shit. I musta left my cigs in my dorm. Got one on you?

Muggle style, just like Jesus.

[Pippin LeBeau]

hardly. i just don't like bugs.

i might. smoke after class?

i can get down with jesus, i guess. you a good ol' christian boy?

[Adam Quinn]

Well then I guess I'll just have to handle all the bugs for you.

I was actually thinking right now.

Been to church a fair few times in my life. Even used to sing in the choir. Now I'm just the guitarist.

[Pippin LeBeau]

we could just use lures and forego the bugs entirely. we're still talking about fishing, right?

i do declare, mr. quinn, that you are inviting me to skip class! you are the sketchy one, aren't you?

i heard they don't let you sing anymore once your voice cracks because it's not as angelic or something. actually i never heard that, i just sorta made it up. whoops. but you play the guitar, eh? noted. i play a wicked triangle.

[Adam Quinn]

Unless you were planning on hiring me as your bodyguard.

No, no, I meant I was gonna light it up in here. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline your invitation to skip class, Miss LeBeau... I gotta say, I expected better outta you! For shame, Blondie.

I play the drums, too. Where'd you pick up your triangle skills?

[Pippin LeBeau]

instead of hiring, you can consider it volunteer work. or community service.

hang on, are you serious? like... you legit want to start smoking in the middle of class. wow, haha, you got some balls, sketch.

i like the drums a lot better than guitar. i used to play them on pots and pans when i was little. drums are in my heritage though. i'm part cree.
