What: Robert owls Dora.
Warnings: Likely none

Dora,

I had a lovely time conversing with you last night, but I enjoyed our letters so much that I hope you don't mind this rather than a text message. (Though it is nice to know the option is there should the need arise.) And I do hope that I'm not intruding. As a self-proclaimed introvert, I know how frustrating it can be when someone keeps pestering you when all you want is a moment of peace to yourself to recenter.

I realized that you never did get a chance to answer my question about dueling, though I'm assuming it's because we ran into one another in person before you had a chance to pen a reply. Though if it's because you didn't care to answer, I won't be offended if you tell me to bugger off about it. I was just curious still if going back into the dueling circuit was a goal of yours.

Robert

I use a good deal of Runes and Arithmancy with more advanced Charms work, believe it or not. If you like those, you'd probably appreciate some of my projects. Even the tents use a bit of it, the poor boring things. I rarely try anything too new without having done equations to make certain it's not going to literally blow up on me. I don't fancy being exploded.

I've never thought you only a handsome face. Granted, I'll give you that you definitely have a handsome one, but I don't think even if we hadn't been conversing, that I would think you merely that. The true Idiots have that dead-eyed look to them, even the handsome ones, and then they open their mouths, and even that is ruined for them. I'll never deny admiring an aesthetic but it has to hold up to something more.

It's a pity they say such things. Personally, I'd punch them and they'd likely stop saying it, but you probably shouldn't take interpersonal advice from me. Though your pretty face could probably get you out of it [silly face doodle]

I'm definitely wary of breaking the Statute, for many reasons, but I think I would for that. That would be a project to work on. Even if it never happened in my lifetime, that would be a project. Ha, I might have to whisper to my mother about it. I doubt she'd listen, but what a lofty goal to aspire to.

I would definitely read a story like that. Or watch a movie. Imagine the muggles trying to explain it away. I sometimes wonder, after reading some novels, if some of those "ufo" things and aliens were really just the magical world.

I am not very good at accepting help or being weak. I much prefer to be able to give people things, instead of taking. But I've been in both positions. These days I can afford to give back when I can, and I try to. Nothing big or anything, just what comes to me at any given time. I think it's admirable that you do the same when you can.

I have no doubt that I would be fascinated by some of your projects. Perhaps once I have some time off, I'll come pester you in your shop and take a look at what you've got going on. But yes, please don't explode yourself.

Awkwardly handsome. Let's be realistic here. I know mine isn't a traditionally handsome face, and I'm okay with that. But thank you for recognizing that I do, in fact, have more going on between the ears. And I won't be punching anyone. First, anyway. I'm not much of a fighter, but I'll defend myself when I have to.

It would be brilliant. If you do manage to whisper it to your mum, you'll have to tell me how it goes.

Hah! It's entirely possible. I think a lot of the things Muggles have conspiracy theories about involve magical incidents that have been covered up.

Well, perhaps if you remember that other people likely feel the same way, preferring to help than needing help, it might make it a little easier to accept in the future? Like accepting their help is also doing something positive for them. And paying it forward is always a good thing.

You're welcome to come by my workshop sometime when you have some spare time. I can always pull out one of my more interesting endeavors for you to look at if I have nothing out at the time. And I will endeavor to stay in one piece. I've enough scars as it is, anyway.

I think you underestimate yourself. You might be a bit awkward with the fans, particularly the ones who try to plaster themselves against you in a bar, but the looks are quite there. Personally, though, that traditional perfect polished look is not the most attractive anyway. It's the imperfections that make one more fascinating, I think. But I am perhaps odd in that manner. I've never had purely typical tastes ~~which my husband proved, though I thought him very handsome in his own way~~.

Well definitely. I couldn't leave you out of a conspiracy like that.

That is likely true. I am not very 'up' as someone said the other day on what the conspiracy theories are, but I can guess that wizards and witches have managed quite a lot over the years.

It helps only somewhat. I have rather more pride than is necessarily needful in any one individual, possibly as it's the only thing I did have at certain points in my life and I cling to it vociferously. I can at least admit that flaw in myself. But the last few years have taught me a fair amount about accepting help, at least from those I love.

I just manage to grumble like a bitchy witch about having to do so. I keep trying to convince my brother it's one of my more charming aspects, but all he does is laugh at me.
