RP: Dinner
Who: Susan and Marcus

What: Dinner

Where: Susan's House

When: Monday 15th of September, 8pm

Rating: NSFW for language, probably

After a particularly draining weekend, Susan decided that for her own mental state, as well as for the continued unbrokenness of several of her friends limbs, that it was time for to reach out to someone she'd been meaning to see for ages. With that in mind, she'd sent Marcus and owl, inviting him over for a late dinner after practice.

Humming happily to herself, she placed warming charms on a rather ridiculous number of dishes - Fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, chicken paella, and chilli con carne - and walked up stairs to watch some television with Shadow while she waited for Marcus to arrive. A rerun of Fawlty Towers had just begun when there was a knock at the door. Smiling, she bounded down the stairs two at a time, and opened the door.

"Hey you," she said, with a huge grin.

"Thank you," Marcus replied with a slight roll of his eyes, and even he couldn't tell if he was being serious or sarcastic. He was more than happy to let the subject of Roger drop though, and he was glad that Susan didn't seem to want to push the matter, even if she might have been teasing him about it.

Marcus could feel his eyebrows going up in something like disbelief at Susan's explanation of a telephone, and even though he thought it might make his brain hurt, he asked, "So, like, a Floo-call without the visual?"

At her question, Marcus shrugged lightly as he answered, "I hadn't thought that far ahead, honestly." At this point in time, he was more concerned with not having the Mark be something he carried around with him all the time.

Glancing at the television when she gestured to it, he nodded as he said, "Roger had it on the last time I went over. It was something about a pirate called Jack Sparrow."

"You're welcome, Precious," Susan said with a friendly chuckle. "I'm trying out my all new and improved non interference policy with relationships. Especially since I may have stupid feelings for someone as well."

She shook her head and sighed. "I am utterly crap at explaining Muggle technology, but yes, it's sort of like a floo call only you don't need a fireplace for it to happen, and these days they have mobile telephones to communicate with one another on the go. It's all very bizarre."

"Fair call I say," she said, with a small smile. She knew how much he hated the mark, and the idea of covering it up and starting anew appealed to her. "I think you'll probably have to get it done by a Muggle tattooist though? Perhaps when you want a magical one we can get one together?"

She quirked an eyebrow at the fact that he'd watched Pirates of the Caribbean with Roger, but said nothing. "Do you fancy watching some form of entertainingly horrendous reality television with me? I feel it would truly add to your knowledge of Muggle Britain."

Marcus snorted lightly at that, because 'stupid feelings' was something he could understand, even if he refused to admit so. "Well, I hope it works out for you."

He was still unsure about the concept, but decided against questioning it further, to save himself the headache.

Shrugging again, because he hadn't really considered any other tattoos beyond this one, he said, "I don't see why not." It was something to think about, at least.

Chuckling at the tone of her question, even though not all of it made sense, Marcus said, "Okay?" He was almost always open to learning new Muggle things, and he'd already been introduced to television once, so he figured that helped at least a little. "What's the difference between 'reality' television and the rest of it?" Marcus was pretty sure that any guess he could take on that subject would be wrong.

Susan shrugged elegantly. "Who even knows, but I hope so. We all deserve to be happy." She looked at him steadily for a moment before smiling. "I hope things work out for you too!"

"I think you should get a full sleeve done," she said, grinning wickedly. "All the women, but more importantly, men would swoon at you." She looked at him thoughtfully for a moment. "You could totally get like a crup as part of it to show that you're badass."

She laughed and flicked on the television, just in time for an episode of Airport to begin. "Well normal television is usually like a filmed play," she said, groaning happily as she bit into a burrito. "There's actors and writers and scripts. But reality television usually has regular people being filmed either in normal everyday situations or in situations created by the writers. It's very odd."

Shrugging at the wish on his behalf, Marcus didn't make the comment he was thinking of about understanding if it didn't - Susan didn't take kindly to his consideration that he didn't really deserve that sort of happiness.

"Something to think about, at least," he stated, because at the moment his primary concern was covering the Mark. Everything else was secondary, and therefore hadn't been considered yet. He'd get there eventually, he figured.

He was still a little wary of most Muggle things, but the television at least seemed innocuous enough, even if he didn't quite understand everything that was being portrayed on it. Marcus' confusion only grew as the show continued, and about ten minutes in, he felt the need to ask, "Are you sure those are real people?" Because frankly, they all seemed a little overly ridiculous to him.

Susan rolled her eyes affectionately and let the matter drop. Sometimes there was just no talking to the man when he was in one of his moods. Privately, one of the things she admired most about the man was his stubbornness. Not that she'd ever tell him that, lest it get to his head.

Out of the corner of her eye she watched Marcus grow more and more puzzled with the television programme. "They are and they aren't," she said, sending him a huge wink. "When they see the camera, the people probably act out a bit, so really it could be that they're presenting sort of caricatures of themselves you know?"
