It involved physics. Which was never really something that should be applied to a damn thing that Jimmy Potter was doing, in particular when he was at a table that had a flame on it. A small one, yes, but still. There was fire, and there was the paper from his straw's wrapper which was very flammable. And Jimmy was currently sitting sideways in his seat, slowly leaning back towards the floor. Anyone looking at him might have thought that he was playing with gravity for hell of it. But as one got closer, they might noticed that he had a spoon on the table before him. One that had a tiny bit of that straw's wrapper balled up tightly and sitting on the end of the handle. Jimmy had one finger on the head of the spoon, facing toward himself. He slowly aimed, head almost all away around like an owl.

He hit the spoon's head and the paper went up into a careful arch as it landed without sound into Andromeda Tonks' wine glass, Jimmy's grin wide as the woman didn't notice. He loaded the spoon up once more, now aiming for her plate. But the figure of his date was finally there, and instead the paper bomb shot off his spoon and right onto the nose of Stubby the Rock Star.

Jimmy looked up at the man, his brows inching higher as he stayed in that same awkward position.

"I meant to do that?"

For a moment, Stubby was positive that whatever Jimmy'd tossed at him had actually gone up his nose, and he sniffed and made a face, rubbing his face with the back of his hand and then looking at Potter like he'd just noticed him for the first time.

"Not the strangest I've'ad up there, at'much I can tell you?" He smirked and grabbed his chair, spinning it around so he could sit in it backwards. It was a bit of a miracle, really, that it was even possible, considering how right his acid wash denims were. He scratched the side of his nose and then offered his hand across the table to Stubby. "'Allo! Ruddy business, these dates are, no offense. Stubby Boadman. Well met."

Jimmy sat upright, adjusting the black blazer he'd thrown over a soft brown sweater and dark jeans. He wasn't really all that great with dates- his only boyfriend to date had really gone after Jimmy, and they had moved in before any dating had taken place. And so he was a bit nervous about what Skeeter might do if he fucked it all up. But soon the mention of who Stubby was had him distracted, and he was whistling low.

"Bloody hell. You're like... a musician, right? I'm Jimmy Potter," he said, putting his hand out to shake Stubby's as he looked at the other man and gave him a crooked smile that looked nothing short of endearing and goofy.

	"Movie theatre." They were dark. That would do. He blew out a rather impressive smoke ring and dropped hid cigarette on the floor, scuffing his shoe over it to put it out. "Sounds like half-a-plan if I ever heard one meself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Did you want to just... get food to go and go out there? I mean, it's probably easier that way, right? Plus, I think that some people might have noticed that they have glasses with paper in in, and I'm the only person with three straws but no wrappers in here," he pointed out, tapping his foot nervously.

	"Jazz." This made Stubby smile. As hard, and loud as his own stuff was, he did have a taste for all kinds of music. It had been early rock and roll that had originally piqued his interest, and that certainly had it's roots in that jazzy sound. "Dig that, yeah." His arm moved lower from the other man's shoulders, to his back, to his waist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
