Blaise rapped sharply on the front door of Daphne’s townhouse, waiting impatiently for the elf to let him in. The weather seemed, for once, to reflect his mood. The sky was roiling with unspent storm clouds, a taste of ozone on the air that hinted of the tempest to come. Muggles were hurrying to get home, glancing up at the sky warily as they huddled in their coats. He glared at them as they went past, many of them picking up speed to avoid suffering under his fierce gaze for long. Part of him wanted to shout at them, tell them that they were all idiots who knew nothing of the true world that hated them, that feared them. Tell them that they were fools for blithely strolling around when madmen fought about how their betters would treat them, how they were so completely blind. He knew on some rational level that his mood was not their fault, that stupid Muggles were really too inconsequential to make a difference, and that it was because of the situation with Theo and Mother that he felt like kicking something.

He rather hoped that talking with Daphne could make a difference. Something had to give. His chest felt tight and twisted, as though his heart were a rag that was being wrung to squeeze out every possible drop of liquid from it. Tapping his foot impatiently, he knocked a second time, unsure of how long it had been since he’d knocked first but growing more impatient by the second.

Blaise gratefully accepted the glass, downing most of it in a single swallow without taking time to savour the bouquet. The sight of Daphne, clad in her usual finery and set amidst the glamour of her home, was a welcome reminder of the normalcy of things. He rather missed that, missed the times when they had all just left school and were glorying in being free adults with no obligations. They'd all just gadded about, partying and generally indulging themselves without worrying about the war or politics or any of that. It was all so needlessly complicated now.

"It's good to see you too," he admitted finally, smiling briefly at her. "I'm sorry I haven't dropped by sooner." He ran a finger around the rim of the now mostly empty glass, glancing down at his reflection in the burgundy puddle at the bottom. "Things have been... rather difficult."
