"Yeah, waiting pretty much sucks," he replied, wishing he could say more to lift Colin's spirits some. He just seemed so...glum.
A tapping at the window caused Seamus to look away from Colin, and he stood and went over to let the owl in, giving it a small treat after taking the letter off it's leg. He recognised the owl, of course, as it was the one he'd given his Aunt Bridgit to use in case she ever needed to get in touch with him.
Seamus opened the letter at the window, biting down on his bottom lip and furrowing his brow as he read over the contents. His hands were shaking a little as he read, and he turned away from Colin so that it wouldn't be too obvious to the other man that the letter didn't contain very good information.
