[enigmaster]

That's a very fun thing to joke about, but I'm pretty sure if you really made an enemy out of Ivy, she would destroy you.

[agoodname]

In a duel? [Oswald arches an eyebrow because....srsly. Dueling is his thing, other than potions.]

[enigmaster]

Oh, no.

No, you would never even see her coming, there wouldn't even be a duel.

[agoodname]

[._.]

She does have a violent streak. [dryly]

[enigmaster]

...Sorry that she did jinx you, though.

[Back to sincerity, oops.]

[agoodname]

[he just...shrugs a shoulder] I've had worse. Anyway, Butch came and got me, so it was no trouble.

[enigmaster]

Still...

I would've said something at the time, but... you know.

[YOU KNOW]

[agoodname]

[at that, Oswald just rolls his eyes] You were hardly in a position to do so. [he waves a hand, brushing that off]

[enigmaster]

...Yeah.

That was... not great.

[agoodname]

No kidding. [his mouth twists a bit, frowning slightly] ...I take it Ivy's father was able to be rescued, however?

[enigmaster]

Thankfully he was, yes. They got to him just in time, so... I guess I'm glad I had a vision, this time. [So he says, but his body language says... nervous. Uncomfortable.]

[agoodname]

Yeah, you look like it, too. [dryly.]

[enigmaster]

...Well, it wasn't exactly... great to see.

[agoodname]

....no, I imagine it wasn't.

[he hums, quietly]

I suppose you haven't had any visions since then, at least?

[enigmaster]

No. None since then. And, um... it's... it's important that I... don't. Anymore.

[agoodname]

I would agree with that. [he scowls a bit] You need the bloody sleep.

[enigmaster]

It's not just that. This... connection, this link, whatever it is... it could start working the other way around, too.

[agoodname]

....you mean the Dark Lord getting insight into what you're doing?

[enigmaster]

...Yes. [Yeah and suddenly it makes a lot of sense why Edward seems so horribly uncomfortable.]

[agoodname]

[Oswald rolls his lips inward, pressing them together, frowning a bit in thought]

...in that case, Occulmency is your best bet still, I think.

[enigmaster]

Yeah. So I'm supposed to work on that a lot. So, same thing, really, except now I guess Professor Dumbledore knows about it.

[agoodname]

[right. He just huffs at that]

So...nothing much different than before, then?

[enigmaster]

...Yeah. [Edward looks down at the desk, frowning. Voice a little tight.] ...He's still pretty much ignoring me.

[agoodname]

[He huffs at that, scowling] ...so go on without him. I realize he's the Headmaster or whatever--[he waves a hand]--but if he's going to just ignore you, then ignore him back. Otherwise you're going to spend a useless amount of time on him when you're going to get nothing from it.

[enigmaster]

Well, it's not as if I have much choice in the matter, anyhow. He won't even look at me. I don't know...
