Who: Penelope Clearwater, Ainsleigh MacFusty, and Orsino Thruston
When: Saturday afternoon
Where: Penny and Oliver's flat
What: Penny and Ainsleigh are having girltime, and get an unexpected visitor.  Antics ensue.
Rating: PG?
Open/Closed: Closed (Unless Oliver wants to show up, too?)

It was not usual for Orsino to just show up at other people's homes unannounced or otherwise unexpected.  Given that Donaghan had done the very same to him only last week made him feel even more strangely about it than usual.  The fact remained, however, that he'd been dreadfully bored this Saturday.  He'd brought Seven out with him on an errand or two, including to pick up lunch, but when he'd gotten back to his flat he was still feeling antsy and restless.  Maybe he was beginning to feel the fact that they hadn't toured in a while.  In any case, and though it didn't happen often, Orsino didn't feel like holing up in his flat for the rest of the day with one of his projects.

The idea of maybe going over to Penny's and seeing what she was up to occurred to him.  It seemed unlikely that she was as bored as he was, as she always seemed to be doing something.  Before he had time to change his mind and think that it was probably rather rude and not very like him anyway, he'd apparated to the proper spot and walked the short distance to the front door.  Rolling his eyes at how stupid this was, he reached forward and knocked twice.

One of the joints in Orsino's back gave an audible (albeit satisfying) crack as he twisted to get his wand out of the back pocket of his jeans. It hadn't been particularly comfortable sitting on it. Setting his water down on the table, he waved it in front of him.

"I don't know, let's find out." He looked back and forth between the two girls teasingly. "Who wants to go first?"

Leigh tried her hardest to give Orsino one of her famous Leigh-is-not-amused looks, but was kind of failing miserably. If it was Merton she would have pulled it off, and then tackled him to the ground for his wand just in case.

"Try it and die, Thruston." She said, hint of a smile on her face. "I have those three brothers you know."

"Do you honestly think I'm going to let you touch my hair Orsino," Penny said between giggles "I dont even go to a hairdressers voluntarily."

Wriggling her stripey socked feet, she got out her own wand and twirled it between her fingers. "Would you let me style your hair? I promise it will only be a very moderate and manageable beehive."

"Whoa, hey," Orsino said, throwing up his hands in mock surrender. "Who knew the two of you would get so hostile over a little hair cut? Maybe I have a hidden talent that none of us know about."

He lowered his own wand, placing it next to the half empty glass of water. The urge to make a cheeky comment about Penny letting him touch her hair was very tempting, but he decided against. Instead, he gave her a brief look before turning to Leigh.

"Would your brothers show up with a great fleet of dragons seeking vengeance?"

"Until you learn you actually have that talent, you're to stay away. Or else I'll have you and just you miss all your appointments." She threatened with a smile.

"They would... baby dragons of course, since they'd be easier to heard around, but the babies are still probably bigger than you anyway."

"Surely only baby dragons would require a baby meal. So I'd only have to ourun one of you," Penny mused aloud.

"I think you should let him style your hair, Leigh. He's good with his hands," she informed the room innocently "He's a drummer after all."t

Almost choking on the water he'd been sipping at that moment, Orsino leaned forward to place it back on the table, covering it up by clearing his throat. He sat back, wand in hand again, and gave it a brief twirl between his fingers, letting it travel between all four and then back up until it rested in his palm.

"Maybe I'll take some hair dressing classes first, then you all have no reason to worry, and I don't become a snack for baby dragons," Orsino said airily. He doubted he'd making a very satisfying snack anyway. He pursed his lips and spun the wand again. "Right. Well, I've been doing it for almost twelve years so I'd better be good by now."

Oh... ew. But she worked for the Weird Sisters, it definitely wasn't the worst thing she'd seen/heard from/about her bosses. Merton was sure they'd shagged. Gideon halfheartedly tried, and she'd seen most of them naked at some point or another.

"I'm going to want to see your grades first." She said casually, ignoring any references to her boss's great hands.

"Practical or theoretical?"

The kitchen seemed too far away and Penny leaned forward to slide her hand and forearm under the skirt of the couch for several minutes before emerging victoriously with half a bag of chocolate frogs which she offered round.

Work was out as a topic (Leigh couldn't exactly be honest with one of her bosses in the room), their respective personal lives were out (just...no. Akward wouldn't begin to cover it). Talking about the weather was deadly dull.

She fell back to the failsafe topic.

"Did you guys catch the quidditch match this week?"

Orsino looked at the bag of frogs that Penny had just produced from under the couch with a skeptical look, but opted to take one anyway. He rarely turned down free food, sweets doubly so. And there was every chance he'd eaten food that came from far stranger places.

As he unwrapped his it made a valiant attempt to hop away, but he snatched it by a hind leg just in time and took a bit.

He shook his head. "No. I don't really keep up with it." It was something his father had never been able to understand - Orsino's almost complete lack of interest in the sport. "Was Oliver playing?"

Leigh had much the same skeptical look on her face when the chocolate frogs turned up. "So" She said taking one anyway. "Charm the couch to magically dispense chocolate frogs?" She asked opening the package but keeping her hands tight so it wouldn't jump away.

"Played and won." She said quickly. "Although it was just by 30 points. Harpies almost had it."

"Actually, its just one of my stashes. I haven't thought about charming the couch to do that. Do you think it would work? You'd have to refill the couch or at least link it to a place where the chocolate could be."

Her brain started racing at the possibilities before she remembered where she was and she forced herself to push it aside. She was with friends, not locked up in the Office. It was a day off and she was going to treat it as such.

"I was at the Falcon match. It was brilliant, though not as close as the Puddlemere."

Orsino felt as though he really ought to know more about what they were talking about, and maybe if this were a few years ago he would have. Before he'd started living on his own he was hard-pressed not to hear about the latest Quidditch news on a daily basis. He'd been to the World Cup, a few years ago, but then there'd been that attack and it had sort of turned him off to the whole thing.

Nowadays, the most he knew was that Meghan played for the Prides, and now and then he tried to make a game. He ate some more of the frog and chewed slowly. "Hm. That sounds like it must have been fun."

"I think it's something that definitely deserves experimentation." Leigh said, seriously not having to move to get chocolate frogs? Score.

Leigh grew up in on a dragon reserve with tons of the rough and tumble types. Heck, most of her family was that way. She learned early on that Quidditch was a giant freaking big deal.

She love the game anyway. Although she didn't get to as many games as she wanted. "I haven't been to a game in a while. I'm going to annoy Oliver for tickets to the next one."

"I'll get on it once I get my Mastership," Penny said solemly before brushing her hair back from her face.

"You should just annoy him anyway. I think he likes it." Rolling the bottle of beer between her hands, the glass chinked off her bracelet before she suddenly tilted her head and asked "What your most embarassing moment since you left Hogwarts?"

Orsino made a face and crammed the rest of the chocolate frog into his mouth. It conveniently forced him to chew and swallow the whole thing before speaking and, given how much of the frog had been left, it took him a while.

"Are you serious?" he asked, though it was clear he found this more amusing than annoying. Besides, they couldn't force him to partake. He'd see. "You're asking the wrong person, I find far too many things embarrassing."

"Wow that is the most random segue ever." Leigh said bringing up her drink. Sometimes Penny's brain could be a fun place she supposed.

"He's not lying. He's the one in the bad that actually got all the shame. The other's don't feel embarrassment."

"I like random," Penny said with a little pout "Soemtimes talking in straight lines can be a bit boring. And there was a reason my brain went there. I just..can't remember what it was right now."

She slowly began peeling off the wrapping off a frog and let her brain catch up.

"Really? Thats a lot of shame to carry around," Penny had heard snippets over the years about the Weird Sisters "What happens when you do something to get embarassed about? Does it get added to the pile already there? Or are you the type of person who gets embarassed on behalf of other people?"

With some disappointment Orsino realized that the focus had come right back around to him. He had hoped that by avoiding any answer maybe the two of them would get distracted by their own embarrassing moments. But no. One of his hands went to the back of his head and rested there a while as his right foot began to tap against the floor.

"I think it gets added to the pile," he joked. "Although sometimes secondhand embarrassment is worse, right? Because you don't even know if you should tell the other person to stop what they're doing."

"It is worse." Leigh agreed. Although over the years her own embarrassment feeling levels had drastically plummeted. "Normally I just... stop watching though. It's just too bad to even acknowledge."

"I think anything is bad when you have that prickling heat creeping up your neck and over your ears."

"How embarrassing does it get? I don't get embarrassed much at work unless someone asks me to do wards on their bedrooms. If you're going to invite someone round then the least you'd do is get dressed and put away the underwear. Right?"

"I guess it would depend? I mean things with the band hardly ever bother me much, at least not like they used to."

Over the past three years Orsino had become increasingly immune to the oddities that often arose in the company of his band mates. Not to mention that more often than not he partook in them. In many ways he'd gotten better with it, but in others he'd barely changed at all.

"That does seem a little weird, though. You'd think you clients'd want to look a bit more...professional."

Leigh couldn't help the giant snorting laugh that escaped her when Orsino mentioning that he thought that client's would like to remain more professional.

Catching her breath she looked between them. "Yeah, unless they're bosses then they really don't care. I'm sorry. I'm done."

"Nothing surprises me anymore." She said with a slight laugh. "I can't believe they're naked when you go over there."

Penny watched in a detached amusement as her friends peals of laughter rang through the door. She'd have moved to help had Leigh not managed to control her breathing before sucking in breaths and steadying herself.

"Nothing? That sounds like a challenge."

Shaking her head at the memory she grinned. "I think ninety percent of them are expecting a bloke to do their wards. And they simply don't care. Thats the worst. All those ..naked..things I didn't need to see. Ever."

She nibbled the leg off the frog slowly.

"Unless," Orsino opined, chewing at a thumbnail. "Maybe they're hoping you'd be a girl, and of a certain inclination to-"

He'd only been joking, but stopped himself on the realization that it could very well be insulting. Although he had to imagine that some of the people who wanted wards done in their bedrooms were hoping for something else entirely to come of the process.

"I'm only joking, of course," he said quickly. "Er. I'm sure you both have a difficult times dealing with all of the unexpected...naked people."

This was not a case of secondhand embarrassment. Orsino was running his mouth off and embarrassing no one but himself. Jerkily, he reached for a second frog.
