Re: Kirley & Al
Al couldn't believe he was here. He couldn't believe he'd let Scorpius talk him into this. He couldn't believe he was still here even after Scorpius went to talk to someone else. At Scorpius' industry parties Al just tended to shadow behind him the whole time, unnoticed and quiet, observing without interacting. That didn't work here though, the few people here might actually want to talk to him if he approached. So, hulking awkwardly in the corner it was.
To say he was shocked when Kirley walked over was an understatement. It took him a moment to remember that Kirley had been him not that long ago, and Al suddenly wished he could just sink through the floor.
"Oh. Uh. Thanks. Um. Kirley." He took the drink, noticing that it was Butter beer. Of course Kirley would know he liked that. "The, uh, the club, uh, the club looks, good."
