Re: Marlene/Jacob
She thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, I suppose I am, but I'm honest about what I think and feel. Unless it's work," she added at the end, because she never had a problem with lying while undercover.
"That must have really bad mental association. Did you tell him? Did you want to wear them for no reason or did you wear them because he asked? Either is okay, Jacob, and yes, doing things for a friend is normal," she said. "Remember that mini dress I was wearing at the Party at the farmhouse? When I danced with Regulus, I made it longer because the shorter version would have made him uncomfortable. I didn't feel like I was doing anything wrong with my dress, but I was being consideration."
She smiled. "Don't get me wrong, I do plenty of things from my point of view and some times, it's a bit too much. Remus told me a few times, but when they do tell me, I will change my ways to make people more comfortable if it doesn't violate my own beliefs." She looked up at him. "I also do things for Alastor, but that's different. I do it, because I love him. Are you telling me that you have feelings for Patrick? Or just because he's a friend? You'll find that you'll do a lot more for a person you have feelings for than for a friend."
