Greg was only slightly relieved as the house came into view and then closer still. He liked the idea of drinking more and more as they headed back, something warm and sweet.
"Well, while I am here, will I be allowed to go out and run a bit? I'd invite you along if you'd come," and after a pause, Greg gave a grin, "You could ride a broom and keep up with me. I'd enjoy the company," and even as he said it, Greg wasn't so sure. He liked company that talked a bit more, because he wasn't sure Theo would be doing much of that.
"Well, let's have tea now, can we? And something to slip into it, yeah?" he added, trying to encourage something from Theo, a smile or a kind of nod, "And we'll play cards. Although, if you don't drink and I do, that will be a bit of an unfair advantage."
