"Just watch," Rus tells him as the waiter comes over. "Two more," he says as the waiter removes the empty mugs. "Dessert?" he looks at Severus.
Rus laughs. "Fraidy cat," he says affectionately.
"Cave?" He frowns. "What cave?" He raises an eyebrow. "Well, if you wore indigo, you wouldn't look like a bat now would you?"
Rus' eyes light up like a small boy offered an ice cream cone. "Oh, do let me deal with her Sev, er Veris! Please do!"
"What?!" He looks baffled. "What are you on about? Children are much harder to terrify then adults, as you should know from all your years as a professor." Rus listens carefully. "And here was me going to use an aging charm on the stuff." His look is just too innocent. "So I'll just stay changed longer than an hour. Not really a great difficulty."
