The lighter side of things
So! Whilst Tonks was having her poor heart broken (Nny, in case you were wondering, "I'll be waiting to greet you" was the emotional straw that broke the camel's back *sobs*), in another part of the bar she was having a grand old time with two rather nice young men...and no, not like that. Well. Not entirely, anyway. *grins*
Things start off when Holden arrives, blushing from the get-go, and offers to get Tonks something to eat. Tonks catches him up on some of the backstory, and Holden is about as subtle as a Bludger. Hee. They also discuss the nature of magic, and Tonks shows Holden what she really looks like.
As a side note, much applause to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ari_o for actually making me like Holden Caulfield. I honestly do not feel the affection for his character that many people seem to. So, well done, you.
Next, Luke Skywalker arrives, and wants to buy Tonks a drink to make up for his freak-out at their last meeting (which her mun thinks is awfully generous, given the high volume of fangirling coming from Tonks on movie night). They talk about lots of things, including Harry and stuff they're not proud of. Still feeling rather hero-worshippy, Tonks mildly flirts with Luke, and her mun makes her say stuff that is just plain wrong. *g* Tonks gets a lesson in lightsabers, prompting the ever-popular "here, let me put my arms around you and show you the proper way to do it" move from Luke. They compare weapons. Tonks leaves, a bit regretfully, but hopes that they'll meet again soon. Luke is cute, and his mun resolves to seriously hit on Tonks next go round.
AND FINALLY, Todd arrives in the midst of the Tonks/Luke thread and gives Tonks the brush-off, big time. Luke is less than thrilled about diverting his attentions from a young, pink-haired female to, well, anyone else, but gamely chats. They discuss sports, shooting, and flying, before Todd also spots Luke's lightsaber, scaring the crap out of Luke-mun. :) Luke talks more about his own life before bidding Todd good night and heading to bed.
Whew! So, um, yeah...the plot thickens. And Charlie is out for a bloody week and a half. Stay tuned.
