This post is William's IC inbox at ataraxion. You can drop network or action stuff that doesn't quite feel like it fits or warrants a post on the main communities in here.
Did she tell you I asked her about you? I just wanted to see if she thought I should leave you alone.
I can if you want. When required, I'm actually very good at not hanging around people's workplaces to bother them about making gloves out of human skin. It's sort of a talent of mine.
I dont talk shit about you to her or anything. but she knows as much about you guys at very drama wizard high as me plus shes super into ned so dont expect it go a lot further than copping off 3way.
I know that doesnt exactly sound like not talking shit but it wasnt really.
[ Have a very long silence that would clearly be a baffled one, vs. judgmental, if William could see his face and all of the cartoon question marks popping up around his head—not for lack of an alternate universe somewhere out there where he's utterly and tragically smitten with the lovely and charming Mrs. Mason-Lands, but because he'd taken the whole 'walk off miserable about someone else and never mention it or come around again' thing as a sign of disinterest, all subsequent complications aside, and this reads an awful lot like jealousy.
Eventually: ]
She's very pretty & funny but more importantly she was trapped by Sirius' mistletoe & vehemently opposed to fire.
I came across her on my way to see you, actually. I was going to bring you some things for your house arrest.
Then I lost my nerve. Sorry about that.

in my opinion also thered be less bloody problems if your best mate had been a nicer kid growing up.
[He pauses here, twisting his comm device around in his hands. Decides to do more words, in a moment.]
but I get it you know. Well obviously not all the details. but some shit happened when you was kids before Severus Snape or whatever was ever a thing and now theres lines in the sand so
Look, Sirius is a good man. It isn't loyalty by seniority or whatever you think. He's a bit younger than us here. Not very much younger, since he's been on the ship so long, but he was still in school. He hasn't seen what the war was like or how everything ended. He's only heard about it. If I had turned up here from a few months earlier than I did, I wouldn't have believed anyone who told me to trust Severus, either. I'd have probably killed him. Died trying. Either/or.
I mean it's fine its not my business who you fancy and I dont know the politics in your world, obviously. this war is newst o me [and Sirius is very handsome and younger and William knows, Heather is going to back him up in just a second] and Im not trying to get at your mate through you or whatever. You can tell me to shut up
It just doesn't seem like there is a war here and everyoens got wee jobs and saves each others arses. Sometimes from me so.
[ And he's got a tirade bottled up, particularly given he just finished cleaning pieces of Benjy Fenwick out of his locker, but like most things he keeps it corked. ]
& I don't know what you're talking about anymore. I just want to know if we're all right or not. Your ideal distance for me to keep, preferably imperial measurements. Or do you need to check with Severus for the exact numbers?
He didnt say anything like that[, which is meant to be reassuring but it probably winds up just confirming something embarrassing to the point of offensive.]
we can dow hatever I mean I'm not i wasnt mad like that. Did I thank you for helping with Heathers party

Either/or.
