"Loudly," Rus makes a face. "Rabastan had a very piercing voice as a child. And that would set off all his wretched cats. Is it any wonder I spent a lot of time out of doors?"
He gives Sev a sidewise glance/glare. "Provided I pick the bear."
"He's been doing it for years Severus. He must know what he's about." Rus gives a crooked smile. "Ebony and dragon heartstring."
"So give them some," he shrugs. "Even the owl orders know what the shop smells like you know. Your stationery smells the same way."
Rus just shakes his head in disgust. "Pathetic!" he mutters. "I worked off a lot of calories playing darts and things," he explains. "Those wing things had hardly any meat on. They should have used ostrich."
What a relief! ;) EEK! Sewing gives me the horrors! Sorry. *adds info to list* I'm looking forward to making this! :D
