[Wizards at War]

When the door bangs open, blowing a gust of leaves and stones into the bar--

oh there's surprise in his face, you can be sure of that, but mostly the expression Ronan Nolan is wearing can be described as an amused sort of resignation.

"Well, I'm back," he says, smirking, and heads for the bar stools.

	And somewhere in the room, a fairy looks up. Hmm. "Well," and without further ado he is sitting on the Bar's counter, many apologies to the lady, "unless I quite miss my guess ... I seem to remember something of you." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ronan looks up and over the rim of his mug. "Well." A sudden, sharp grin. "If I said something along the lines of 'hail merry wanderer of the night' would my near future involve punching?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	puckishly 2007-01-01 04:55 am UTC (link)
	The grin is returned, every bit as sharp. "Fortunately, I find myself in quite the merciful mood. I think you shall be safe enough." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	"I thank you, and the rest of me thanks you," Ronan says with considerable feeling. He sets the mug down with a soft clink against the bar top. With a sidelong glance-- "Still. Suppose a 'hallo, y'bastard' wouldn't go awry? Safe. And the like." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	puckishly 2007-01-01 05:22 am UTC (link)
	He laughs. "Should calling me a motherless son be very much safer than the alternative?" His legs swing idly. "Do as you will, of course." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	"Term of masculine endearment!" Ronan protests. "Like saying 'oooh me duckie it's so lovely to see your bright and shining face again--'" His voice slides up into a falsetto, then back to normal again. "If you decide to kill me now. I'm an invalid. So make it fast." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	puckishly 2007-01-01 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Puck absolutely does not snigger throughout this explanation. Except in the way where he does. "An invalid?" he repeats. "Truly? You seem hale enough to me." His eyes glitter, amused. "Mayhap you only mean to divert me, and save yourself from your fate." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	emptiedstreets 2007-01-01 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Stuck like a bug on a pin," Ronan confirms, his lips twisting up into a wry half-grin. He gestures vaguely at his chest. "Bit of a bother, you can trust me on that one. And it seems to be working, thus far, so I would count it a most excellent diversion." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

Puck blinks curiously, glancing to Ronan's chest as if he's going to catch a glimpse of something sticking out.

"Consider me thoroughly diverted," he agrees amiably.

And smiles, tilting his head to the side. "Though now the question becomes that of how such a charming little wizard becomes the target of such unfriendliness."

Unless it was self-inflicted!

Remember, Ronan: No matter how bad things get, shish-kebabbing is not the answer.

	"Combating the forces of darkness." Ronan shrugs easily. "The usual order of things, really. Although next time, I'll remember to duck." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	puckishly 2007-01-02 04:06 am UTC (link)
	"Ah." Puck nods, wincing sympathetically. He's sustained an injury or two in the fight against evil, oddly enough. "In which case, I do hope I shall be forgiven if I give up my attempt on your life. I should hate to be redundant." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	[OOC: My favorite part of canon ever. Great interpretationy of it! yay, Ronan! Um, was wondering if he is staying in awhile because would love to thread with Filif, or if he is not if I could tag to this post later on the first when I have slept, would appreciate it? hugs Thank you. Happy new year!] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Ronan will be in for a bit, yes! Tagging this post later would probably work out best-- slowtime is okay, I hope? And thank you!] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"Hey yourself," Ronan growls. He takes a huge gulp of tea, then sputters as it burns his mouth. "Ahhh," he says indelicately, sticking out his tongue and staring at it cross-eyed. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	She rolls her eyes. "Classy. How're you?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	emptiedstreets 2007-01-01 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	He scowls. "Funny question to ask, innit?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought it was kind of the generally accepted thing to say after 'hello.'" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Ronan glares at her. His fingers knot together in his lap. After a long pause-- "Why'd you do it. Stop me going." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	nita_callahan 2007-01-02 12:55 am UTC (link)
	. . . Oh, this is going to be fun. She swallows. "I was afraid it was my fault. That I'd -- made it happen, because of some of the stuff I said to you earlier. I mean, you know what words can do, even when they're not in the Speech." A pause, and she adds quietly, "And I really didn't want you to die." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	emptiedstreets 2007-01-02 01:15 am UTC (link)
	He laughs, sharp and more than a touch scornful. "Feels-- cheap, somehow. You know? We won," and for a moment there's a fierce, triumphant grin, "but-- it feels cheap." His fingers work at a hangnail, peeling the dead skin back. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Frowning -- "What do you mean?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	emptiedstreets 2007-01-02 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"I should be dead." The words are little more than a rumble, deep in his chest. "And I'm not. There's always a price, right? And we didn't pay it. And how much more will we have to pay later?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)
