Re: Beau and Phoenix
The humour clarified things for Beau as he realised that the man had his own concerns behind a conversation like this. Was Phoenix even his real name? It could easily be a pseudonym, Beau thought.
"No." The line of his muscled shoulders softened, his smile not going anywhere. "I just play one on TV," he joked, taking the same light tone. Well, he'd played an Auror a few times over the years. This was a man who could keep secrets, he thought, tongue darting out to lick his lower lip. "I'm listening. Price is no object."
