Who: Orsino and Donaghan
When: Today
Where: Orsino's flat!
What: Orsino and Donaghan need more WS interaction! (Or more interaction at all!) Don drops by unannounced.
Rating: Low?
Open/Closed: closed

Donaghan had taken only a moment to think of which of the Weird Sisters he wanted to visit before making certain his wife was still out. He quickly jotted out a quick note, stating that he was visiting Orsino and that he'd be back later, before bundling up in his coat, scarf and sunglass (that were always a necessity) and left their home. A part of him thought that perhaps he should first drop a note and as him if it was ok to come over for a visit, but he'd rather not give him the chance to say no. Plus this was one of his bandmates! He wouldn't turn him away when he showed up on his doorstep.

So he made it to his normal apparation point, a little alley just off from where he lived that was always empty. He glanced about, double checking there was no one there and then popped away. He showed back up in Canonbury, close to Orsino's flat. He grinned happily and pushed his sunglasses back up on his nose from where they'd slipped and quickly made it to the flat that held his friend. It didn't take him but a moment to reach the proper door and he reached out, wrapping sharply on his door.

"Open, open. Your favorite bass player is here!" he sing-songed at the door, grinning as he waited for Orsino to answer.

On a normal day Donaghan probably would have hassled one of his friends into giving him an answer rather then let him sit there silently, but he knew that Orsino would have to answer. It wasn't like other times when the other guys were there to serve as a distraction. The only thing that could distract them here would be the waitress and even that would only be very temporary. So that meant that Donaghan could be patient and wait for Orsino to answer when he was ready.

"I'm beginning to think that is how most of us are, honestly." Which made it odd in his mind that he was honestly married to someone that was in no way connected to the band. "Wait, Meghan's friend? And it was all just a big coincidence?" Now that was an amusing notion. "Does Meghan know this?"

"Bit of an understatement, that," Don muttered good naturedly. "But in all honesty I didn't know about this, so let's continue on with this topic, yeah?"

"It's these journals, I swear," Orsino said, running a hand through his hair. He sounded a bit agitated. "They make it way too easy to find out what everyone else is up to."

He smirked apologetically at Donaghan, aware that he'd very nearly begun to rant on how the occasional creepiness of the journals just might outweigh their usefulness. Taking a long sip of water, Orsino sighed and started again. This was one thing he liked very much about Donaghan - he was very easy to talk to, even if he was a bit...well, prying wasn't the word exactly. Orsino was just very protective of his privacy, even in his friendships at times.

"Anyway. Yeah, Meghan's friend. Weird, right? Shocking as this may seem, I think we actually started talking over the journals casually and then, of all things, we bumped in to each other at a Muggle record store and went to lunch or something. I don't really remember exactly."

He drummed the fingers of his left hand on the table. "So a completely strange coincidence. And Meg knows...she got very...intense about it. I was starting to get annoyed with her. This could potentially become problematic."

“I do admit that the journals definitely make it easier for people to pry. Random people, that is. Whether we had the journals or not I’d be nosy and want to know what was going on.” Though he did know when to back off, most of the time. He wasn’t going to say that he knew to back off every time, but some of the times he did and he would.

“You met over the journals?” Now that was too amusing. He was pretty sure that Orsino wasn’t the biggest fan of the journals, especially from what he’d said earlier. Though now Donaghan was going to have to go back to his journal and try to find some of Orsino’s last entries to see if he could see when he and the girl had started talking. It would be amusing. Or at least he thought it would be amusing. He’d make certain not to mention to Orsino that he had.

He furrowed his eyebrows as he listened and frowned, snorting quietly. “Does she have a problem with it or was she a little too into the idea? Because I don’t really see why she’d have an issue with this.” It was rather implied in his tone that there wasn’t an issue because it was Orsino. In all honesty he could see there being an issue if it was some of his other band mates.

Orsino rolled his eyes. "Yes, I know, of all the places I'd start talking to someone..."

Actually, he found it funny himself. Here he'd been dreading using the things and, as far as he was concerned, he'd benefited the most out of his mates so far. This whole thing with Meghan, though, and he supposed Penny's roommate, might prove to be an issue if he wasn't careful.

"Definitely didn't seem very into the idea, at least not when she was practically interrogating me," Orsino explained. He couldn't imagine that the exchange would have gone much better face to face. Probably would have been worse. "I get the impression she thinks, or thought, I planned to treat this lightly. To put it simply. Apparently she missed the part where Penny is completely fine with our current arrangement."

“You do have to admit that it is rather amusing. I honestly figured that one of the others would meet someone over the journals before you would.” Not that he thought that Orsino was any sort of true recluse, but he was typically more closed off then the rest of them.

It was nice that he managed to get the name of the mysterious journal girl without having to actually ask what it was. Not that he didn’t already have a clue since it was one of Meghan’s friends and Meghan was definitely another one that they typically knew a lot about at any given point due to her being a sibling of Kirley.

“I don’t really get that. Well, that’s not true. I get it, I just don’t get why she’s like that if Penny is ok with it.” He could definitely see sticking up for his friends if he thought that a relationship was going to occur that didn’t have the best interests for his friend involved. “Perhaps Meghan just jumped to conclusions without finding out first? It is kind of easy to react first when friends are involved and then think logically about it later.”

"Maybe," he said, with a shrug. "Just pissed me off. I mean Meg's like sister and all, and I get why she'd be protective. But she seemed to be assuming I planned on having my fun and then leaving her friend hurt, or something."

Orsino didn't think he'd done anything to deserve such presumptions. True, he'd gotten into his fair share of trouble with girls and hangers-on in the past, especially during the first year or so of the band's turbulent rise in popularity. And he hadn't exactly had any serious relationships in several years (not that that was what this was). But what reason was that to assume he was planning on using a girl, who he actually did consider a friend, and then tossing her aside when he was bored?

The waitress returned, looking eager to take their orders. Orsino placed his and then looked to Donaghan. He was glad for the break in conversation, if only brief. He could feel himself getting riled again, and didn't like that it was directed toward Meghan.

“Maybe Penny’s last boyfriend was a real number? That could also explain why Meghan acted the way she did.” He paused at that before shaking his head as though to clear it before looking back to Orsino. “Not that it really gives her a right to treat you like that even if that is the case.”

His attention was effectively pulled away when the waitress returned and he dutifully ordered his own meal after Orsino. He was rather amused by her behavior and watched as she almost seemed a little upset that it hadn’t taken them longer to order. And when she left Donaghan found it hard to hold in his mirth at the situation.

“I think that waitress has a sweet spot for you, Orsino. Bet she’d love to get you dessert.” He figured it was a good idea to perhaps steer the conversation away from what they were talking about, if only for a moment. It honestly did amuse him to see things like that though he was more used to it when they were in the wizarding world. He found it very amusing to watch people trip over themselves sometimes when they were out and about. Though he did have to admit that it did get rather old at times. Right now it was amusing though since he was quite certain that her attitude had nothing to do with their music.

"Oh, don't assume it's me," Orsino shot back teasingly. "I come in here often enough, she's used to seeing me. Seems to me you've been the one to get her all hot and bothered."

The mention of dessert, however, did bring to mind just how hungry he was now. This was what you got when you slept in til after noon, he supposed. A growly stomach and nothing to do for it but wait.

"They have very good blueberry pie here," he added, almost as an after thought. "You should save room."

Donaghan gave Orsino an incredulous look and shook his head. "Absolutely not. Though I guess if perhaps she wasn't observant then she might not notice." He was pretty sure that Elizabeth wouldn't care one way or another and Don would be the one paying for the oversight. "I think that she's probably been giving you looks like that and reacting like that often and you've just failed to notice."

"I think you fail to remember just how much I can eat," Don pointed out with a grin. "I fully plan on eating all of my food and getting a dessert. A good meal must always be followed up by a dessert."

Depending on how long Donaghan visited with Orsino then he might even stop somewhere on his way home to pick up some sort of dessert for both Elizabeth and himself to have tonight. It might actually help in the long run depending on her mood. She was often in a foul mood recently, but that was to be expected with how everything was right now. She was just worried.
