spaceEcho stepped into the shop, stuffing his hands in his pockets as soon as he was through the door to prevent himself from fidgeting. He'd been driving his father up the wall all bloody morning, snapping his fingers and tapping them against any flat surface he came in contact with. He kept telling himself that, really, logically, he had nothing to worry about. It wasn't like he was some nutcase. Hell, of all the guys Tanya could be dating, he was probably the least offensive, right? There was hardly anything even remotely objectionable about him, aside from his fascination with horror and the loons in his family. Which, neither of those things really needed to come up, right? Even though, really, Mr. Whitethorne was probably already aware of both, at least to an extent; when they'd gone to the hospital last Summer, he'd been wearing a Walking Dead T-Shirt, and his sister and mother had joined them. He tried to remember if Tanya's father had interacted with either of them, but he couldn't recall; he'd been sort of busy keeping Tanya preoccupied.
spaceHe shuffled uneasily, spotting his girlfriend standing in the store, and approached. In spite of the nerves, he couldn't help the grin that wormed its way onto his face as he came to stand with her. "Hey, uh..." The Ravenclaw trailed off as he noticed (or, rather, tried not to notice) what she was wearing, flushing faintly. She looked... Sheesh. What was that he'd been worried about at the feast, that he'd be unable to keep his thoughts on an appropriate track around Gearvin? Yeah, he was screwed. Seriously, was she trying to kill him? Legs that long should not be covered by a skirt that short. At least, not when formally introducing your boyfriend to your father. Though, he supposed it was longer than if she'd been in shorts, which he should be thankful for. The last thing he needed was... the brunette derailed that train before it could get too far. "Okay, tell me I'm not going to screw this up," he pleaded, eyes very adamantly on her face, wide and looking ever so slightly panicked. He was so. Very. Screwed.

All my friends, they’re different people
Anxious like the ocean in a storm
When we go out, yeah, we’re electric
Coursing through our bodies ’til we’re one
❁ ❀ ✿Tanya had been resisting the urge to fidget by looking over the manuscripts littering the store when Echo came in looking...damn. She knew he had to have some form of muscles from Quidditch and such but Morgana that shirt. And he was wearing all the jewelry she had gotten for him! It filled her with a smug sense of pride that she had practically marked him as hers. Her smug countenance grew when she saw the look he was giving her and had to stop herself from bursting out in laughter as he took in her ensemble. Yes she knew the skirt was a tad short but when she had bought it a few months earlier it had fit properly, honest! It wasn't her fault she was shooting up like a ruddy dandelion! She could barely keep up with what did and didn't fit in her closet anymore. More than likely she was going to have to do a complete overhaul because she was pretty sure there was some things in there from way back when she was just a tiny firstie and she wasn't even going to trick herself into believing those things still fit. For a brief hilarious moment she entertained the thought of having Echo accompany her on her shopping spree but had to lock it back when she felt her giggles trying to leave her. Merlin his face would be priceless. Speaking of Echo, he was very steadfast in making it seem like he wasn't staring at anything but her face (which again made her very happy) but also looking freaked out. Tanya resisted rolling her eyes because her usual brand of snark was not going to be welcome at the moment. So she decided to be sweet for once and went over to grasp both of his hands while looking him dead in the eyes. "You. Are. Not. Going. To. Screw. Up. You're going to be you're usual charming self and everything is going to go great. And then afterwards we get the rest of the day to ourselves." she grinned coquettishly and gave him a wink. He could do this, she had faith in him, it was her father to be she was worried about. He had always seemed the tiniest bit protective over her and her brother when they were younger but it seemed the closer he and their Mum go the more protective he became. And then when their engagement was announced it was as if every instinct he had been holding within him burst out with swords swinging. She didn't even know if he had a sword! He definitely looked the type. Crap, now she had to look around to see if he had a hidden sword somewhere.
I said ooh, ooh
You got me in the mood, mood
I’m scared
But if my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger

spaceEcho couldn't help it; a faint smirk worked its way onto his face, his nerves settling ever so slightly. "Am I charming, then?" he teased her, somewhat amused. Hey, his sister hadn't gotten all the ego in the family, after all... just most of it. He chose to ignore the wink and the promise that they'd have the day to themselves, though, mostly because he was pretty sure it was wishful thinking on her part. Although, he didn't know; presumably Mr. Whitethorne was working, right? He'd be far too busy to even consider keeping an eye on his daughter all day.
spaceStill, the faint confidence boost was welcome, particularly when her father joined them mere seconds after she'd spoken. The 'pleasure to meet you' comment drew a confused expression from the Ravenclaw, namely because they had, in fact, met before, twice. But, perhaps the man didn't consider those to have been formal introductions? The hospital, he could understand, but the train station was a bit harder to wrap his head around. Then again, a lot had been going on that day. Echo gave his hand a firm shake, thankful that his mother had never skimped out on lessons of propriety. Piper Lovette might be a bit uncouth, and a hippie to boot, but she at least knew how to behave properly. In fact, she had delighted in teaching her children all the proper manners and such, namely because it'd irked her in-laws that she did so. They'd insisted that any child raised by her would be a complete hooligan... Piper delighted in proving them wrong, and delighted even more in the fact that they both knew that while their grandchildren knew how to behave, they generally chose not to. Now, however, was an excellent time for those manners. Echo did a quick mental checklist; straight posture, shoulders back, pleasant expression... right. "It's nice to meet you, sir," he replied. That the would evidently be speaking in his office was somewhat off-putting, if only because it meant they were alone, but that was the way such things were done, after all. "After you, sir, Tanya" he said, partially to further underscore his polite, totally non-threatening demeanor, and partially because it was the most polite way he could think of to point out that he had no idea where to go. He followed behind his girlfriend and her father, trying to hold onto the idea that, overall, it was unlikely he could come off as too bad. He wasn't perfect, but he was hardly a demon.

❁ ❀ ✿Tanya felt successful at getting a small smirk on his face from her words but also let out a soft chuckle at his question. "Yes, and I think I'm regretting telling you so." she told him with a mock reprimanding look. She would have done more to boost his confidence but Gearvin decided to appear making her pull away from him just long enough to give him a grin and hug him right back. She then watched both men shake hands and just stood back thinking 'So far so good.' At his request that they adjourn to his office she entertained the thought of not going inside with them and just waiting outside the door. What they were going to talk about, they didn't really need her in there since the conversation was going to be about her. And Echo. If she didn't think for a second that her boyfriend would somehow curse her back to the twelfth century she might have done just that. But instead she went into the familiar office and with amusement took in the desk thinking that it seemed a whole lot bigger to her back when she would hide behind it. Or pop up in front of it while her father was working to ask inane questions or to just show off something she had drawn or read. Good times. Without a second thought Tanya plopped down into one of the chairs right in front of the desk and waited for the show to get on the road.

Gearvin nodded, leading the way to his office. He closed the door and gestured towards the chairs, noting with faint amusement that Tanya already claimed her own seat. Folding his hands, he took a seat himself and looked at Echo consideringly. "As I have been given to understand, you wish to have a relationship with Tanya, correct? I can assume she wishes one with you, as otherwise we would not be having this discussion. The reasons for this meeting is to discuss your intentions with her." Gearvin hid a hint of amusement, as he was pretty sure that the boy was probably really nervous. He had to hand it to the teen, he was pretty brave for agreeing with the meeting. That already put him on good regard with the former Slytherin. His eyes met the other male's and he cocked an eyebrow. "Your intentions are good, correct? You will not mistreat her in any way, nor will you disrespect her in any fashion? And what of your family? I assume they are good people as well?"

spaceEcho followed after Gearvin and Tanya, trying to keep his nerves from letting him get distracted. But, hell, he was surrounded by books, and wasn't that less nerve-wracking than the conversation he was about to have? He gave his head a mental shake to stay on track, sitting in the seat Gearvin had indicated, his hands folding together in his lap. The Ravenclaw was still trying to figure out how exactly to balance his behavior between his norm and how he behaved around his grandparents. Briefly, he wondered if Mr. Whitethrone knew them, and what his opinion of the pair was. Given that he'd married Tanya's mum, Echo would be willing to bet that they didn't get along. Well, in that case, probably a good thing that he didn't particularly care for either of them, right? Though, it was probably also good that he wasn't so disrespectful as his sister. Balance. That was the thing, right? Just had to find the middle ground and stick to it.
spaceHe swallowed past the lump in his throat when the man spoke. Well, no wasting time, then? Right to the point. Probably for the best. A small voice wanted to correct the man's statement, given that it implied he and Tanya were not already dating, when really, they'd been together for almost a year. But that wasn't going to win him any favor, he knew, and thankfully that silenced the voice. It was probably a good thing he was a logical person, or the mental argument might not've worked out that way. "Yes. I... Tanya's been my best friend since I was ten, sir. I care about her, more than I care about probably anyone I know," he replied, somewhat surprised by how easily the words came out. Well, it was the truth, after all. "As for my intentions... Sir, I would never, ever hurt her. Or disrespect her. In any way. My family..." And here's where it got sort of tricky, right? Then again, Mr. Whitethorne didn't seem like the sort to have come into this with absolutely no knowledge of his family, and obviously he'd met his mum, even if only for a few minutes. At least Echo wasn't the sort to lie, or be embarrassed or ashamed of them. They might irk him from time to time, but his parents were good people, and his sister... well, she was good, too, once you got past all the black and rebellion. "My parents are wonderful. My mum's a bit... out there. But she's a good person. And my sister... she's... not so bad. When you get to know her. She's probably from Mars, but she's hardly half as bad as you'd think looking at her. The only... my grandparents aren't so great. My dad's parents. But, honestly, I don't plan on ever seeing them if I don't have to after I graduate. Which probably sounds awful, but... I just... I don't want to be around them. Their negativity. And I'd never force Tanya to have to be around them. Though, that's partially because I don't really want her getting in trouble for hexing them," he said, chuckling faintly at this. As her father, Gearvin would surely know that Echo wasn't exaggerating. Tanya was wonderful, but she had a temper. Echo wouldn't put it past her for a second to hex his grandparents for being rude to her. Hell, he'd probably cheer her on while she did it. But his grandparents were exactly the sort to press charges for that sort of thing and try to get her arrested, which he couldn't let happen, obviously. The brunette shifted so that he was seated more comfortably, figuring that, if nothing else, it was apparent that he was being honest. More honest than he'd really intended, even, if his comments about Gypsy were taken into account. He didn't really have any control over how Gearvin reacted to any of it. But at least he hadn't lied.

❁ ❀ ✿Tanya only grinned over at Gearvin as he looked over at her already sitting before giving her boyfriend what she hoped was an encouraging look and smile before the questioning begin. She very nearly rolled her eyes at her father's words since they were obviously already in a relationship before coming to him. What made this even worse was that she had told him that they were in a relationship months before this and had gotten most of his blessing back then. But she supposed if one was going to do "over-protective father" they'd either go big or go home. Still, she wanted to scoff at his questioning; "good intentions," "mistreat her," who did he think she was dating her sperm donor? Wait. Back up. Vomit. That was just, ew. Plus he had to give her some credit, hadn't he seen her in punishments after her mother heard about her school yard brawls. Although she justified them by saying it was justice after they had bullied her baby brother, but regardless. She could hold her own. And even worse than that was assuming that Echo of all people would be the on to do it to her. Sure he liked blood, guts, zombies, and gore but the guy couldn't even look shrimp in the eye without turning green! Good Merlin. So when he answered basically the way she assumed he would, which is to say he wouldn't dare, she tried to hold back her smug grin but was sure she didn't. Mostly to hide the small amount of shock she felt hearing how he felt about her. Technically, it shouldn't shock her since she pretty much felt the same way. She was even working on a little something special for him for their one year anniversary in a few days or so but still. Tanya turned her head just slightly to hide the blush that was starting to form, now was not the time! When he began detailing his family, she had to work hard not to snort or giggle at the creative ways he tried to not call his mother and sister crazy (although she did kinda agree with the opinion that Gypsy was from Mars). At the comments about his grandparents and the allegation that she would probably hex his grandparents was the straw that finally broke the camel's back for her. She snorted and muttered under her breath that she'd do a lot more damage than a simple hex but that was just her. Hearing the things she had about his grandparents, ugh, it was a mystery to her how people got that old without someone either knocking sense into them or knocking them just plain of their high horse. But alas, she'd never be in the situation to meet them, or would want to be for that matter.

════════════════════════
Gearvin nodded again, recalling the boy being around constantly for quite some time. They'd only met once, at the station while dropping Tanya off for school, but he didn't consider it a proper meeting unless they actually spoke at length. This would be the first true meeting the two actually had in his opinion. A smile did cross his features when Echo mentioned his family. He could actually relate to 'out there' relatives. His own brother was probably the worst example of a proper gentleman that anyone could meet, and his son made it a point to avoid being as proper as possible. His eyebrow cocked at the mention of Echo's grandparents, however. "Considering what I do know about your grandparents, I do not doubt that you would not wish to be around them. My experiences with them have been terse, at best. After my sons were discovered to be squibs, even more so. I however have only seen them at social functions. I do not know how they are in regards to family." The Slytherin could only imagine the scandal that would erupt should it be commonly known his relations with Nicole. Not that it would stop him. He also knew Tanya. If Echo was certain that his grandparents were that awful, then he wouldn't doubt for a second Tanya making her opinions well-known. "I believe that would make two of us. Tanya has... taken a shine to my daughter, who is not well known for censoring herself when she feels something must be said. I imagine that probably has enhanced her own sense of right and wrong."

spaceEcho wanted to groan when Gearvin said he knew of his grandparents. The Ravenclaw was thankful that he had already made it clear that he didn't associate with them, because he now knew without a shadow of a doubt that it wasn't going to earn him any favor. Actually, it was fairly obviously a detriment. He had no doubts that his grandparents reactions to the news had been less than positive. They'd probably found it funny, honestly. The Lovette family were historically Ravenclaws, and had faced a lot of ridicule from other old, pureblood families for 'lacking ambition.' Seeing a family that was historically Slytherin suffer what was, in their eyes, an immense failing, would have been hysterical. The teen shifted uncomfortably at Mr. Whitethorne's words, shrugging. "They're... not all that great, really. Just about the only thing I can say for them is that they always keep their word. I really only see them for holidays. And I'd prefer not to at all," he said, figuring that the older man would understand. He hoped that the guy didn't have some insane 'stand by your family no matter what' mentality, or he was in trouble, because quite frankly, he'd like nothing more than to shove both his grandparents off a cliff. It wasn't like it'd kill them, anyway; his grandfather was excellent at wandless magic, he'd figure out how to save them both before they hit the ground. It'd be more therapy than murder, really.
spaceEcho shoved those thoughts away, figuring it was probably not smart to be thinking about shoving an elderly couple, however awful they might be, off of a cliff. At least not at the moment. It registered that Mr. Whitethorne was talking again, and agreeing with his assessment that Tanya should probably not be introduced to his grandparents. He smiled faintly, expression growing fond and ever so slightly indulgent. "I'd have been worried about what she would say a few years ago... now, I'm more worried about what she might do. Not that I'd blame her for it... they like... provoking people. Grandfather especially. Anything she did would be completely justified, and probably nothing that every other person who's had the misfortune of meeting them hasn't considered. My sister would give her a medal," he said, snorting faintly at this last bit. "Still, I'd hate for her to do something that could get her into trouble... and they're the sort to blow it out of proportion if she did. So, no, I don't particularly plan on forcing her to go through any of that. I figure I've got two more Christmases of having to deal with them myself, and then... well, I don't know after that. But I certainly won't be seeing them with any regularity, or for any reason other than because I absolutely have to." Oh, how he was looking forward to his first Christmas post-graduation. His parents would make him go as long as he was in school (they were helping pay for his supplies at present), but after that? Thackery had basically said he didn't care after that point, and Piper had (half) joked that she wouldn't be seeing them for the holidays anymore, either. It sounded bloody brilliant, if he were honest.

Anxious like the ocean in a storm
When we go out, yeah, we’re electric
Coursing through our bodies ’til we’re one
❁ ❀ ✿Tanya pulled a face when Gearvin admitted to knowing and having actually been in contact with Echo's disgusting grandparents. And even he couldn't stand them! She made a quiet affirmation at her boyfriend's words when he spoke of not really wanting to visit them and she honestly couldn't blame him. If she had relatives like that not even Eretria could make her play nice, and she basically worshiped the ground she walked on. Ironically enough, she was soon brought up as someone she had "taken a shine to" making her snort a bit in amusement. It wasn't like he was wrong; she never censored herself before and she sure as Merlin wouldn't now especially since she had a little extra in her arsenal courtesy of one stepsister-to-be. Apparently Echo agreed since he added his own two knuts about his worry more over her actions than her words, which she admits made her puff up just a bit and sit up straighter in her chair. She wasn't like a dueling champ or anything, hell Wandless still gave her problems on a good day, but she liked to think she had a good handle on her wand. Now on the curses or hexes that leave her wand she has no say. Tanya had to cover her mouth with her hand to cover her grin and any giggles that would try and leave her when he spoke of his sister actually giving her a medal for doing something to their grandparents and wouldn't put it past the eccentric older girl. And it would probably be a really cool looking medal as well! She shook her head from actually trying to imagine the medallion Gypsy would make and instead resisted the urge to check her watch for the time. How long had they been sitting here? It felt like forever! Didn't her father see what kind of guy Echo was by now? If not that, couldn't he at least see how scared shitless he was of the older man? Couldn't that give him enough justification that he wouldn't try anything? Instead she just gave a soft impatient sigh and was about to cross her legs when she remembered a movie she hadn't watched in forever and instead just tucked one leg behind the other.
I said ooh, ooh
You got me in the mood, mood
I’m scared
But if my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger
Sleeping with a friend, sleeping with a friend

spaceJames stepped into the shop with a light smile, glancing around curiously. He wasn't a big book person, typically, so he couldn't imagine wanting to spend all day editing them. But he figured Lyre probably couldn't imagine wanting to play Quidditch for a living, either. Fair's fair. If it made her happy, he wouldn't say anything, even if he found it odd. She was odd, anyway, but he liked that about her. It meant she fit in well with the rest of the odd people in his life... Which was actually the whole reason he was here now. He figured, obviously he liked her, and he was pretty sure she liked him. More to the point, she liked him as James the Person, not James, Captain and Seeker for Scotland International. He wasn't entirely certain that her feelings for him were romantic as of yet, but he'd reasoned that there was no time to figure it out like the present. It'd sort of suck if she didn't feel the same way, but he figured things would be awkward for a bit and then they could go back to being friends. He was charismatic to comeback from a blunder like that, for sure.
spaceFeeling antsy, the Seeker took a small ball from his pocket and started tossing it up and fiddling with it, just for something to do. He wasn't sure what the protocol was here, if he was allowed to go in search of her or should just wait here... Hm. Well, there was one easy way to find out if she were around, he figured. "Oi, Lyre! You hiding out in here somewhere?" he called, hopefully not too loudly. He didn't want to disturb anyone else. But, he figured he'd be less of a disturbance if he was very loud for a second than if he were nosy for a few minutes. If one of her co-workers too issue, he was fine just leaving. He'd rather ask her out in person, but a letter'd do in a pinch... it wasn't like he didn't have plenty of options as far as owls went, he thought, with no small measure of amusement. Mostly he just hoped that she was actually here, and this hadn't been a waste of a trip. Not like he'd been doig anything better, but still.

Lyre had been very hard at work that day, trying to finish editing a book. After running out of ink for a fifth time, she half wanted to find the man and beat him with a dictionary. Then again, she thought, that wouldn't fix a lick of his grammar. She was growing rather tired of her work when she heard the front door open. Was it another client, or perhaps a coworker coming to start their shift. Who was even working this afternoon? She wasn't sure. In fact, it wasn't until she heard her name being called that she looked up. Who the heck would just yell for her? Surely there wasn't an emergency!
The girl hurried to stand, then walked quickly out of her office. While walking, she watched her feet carefully to make sure she didn't knock over another stack of books... again..... that day. When she got to the front of the store, she discovered not a coworker, but a James! She smiled sweetly, walking closer to him. "James! What are you here for? Did you need me?" Well... he probably did, given that he'd called her name. A blush touched her cheeks, but she didn't say anything, in half-hope he didn't notice. He probably did... Oh well.

Look around. We’re living with the lost and found. Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned,
You find yourself on solid ground, and you believe there’s good in everybody’s heart.
Keep it safe and sound. With hope, you can do your part to turn a life around.
I cannot believe my eyes. Is the world finally growing wise?
‘Cause it seems to me some kind of harmony is on the rise. ♥ ══ ♡ ══ ♥

spaceJames' grin somehow managed to widen when the redhead appeared, which was quite the feat, since he'd already been smiling. He couldn't help but find it sort of amusing and sort of cute, how carefully she walked. He supposed she'd know better than anyone that she was liable to trip over her own feet, though. He'd not really thought much when she'd first told him she was clumsy, had assumed she was exaggerating... but in reality, she'd undersold it. It didn't bother him, though. Just meant he got to play knight to her damsel whenever he was around her. He liked being a knight. "Hey! I hope you're not too busy, I wasn't sure how else to go about hunting you down. I mean, I could've written, but I really wanted to have this conversation face to face." He noticed Lyre's faint blush, and couldn't help the cocky light he got in his eyes. She blushed constantly around him. No way a woman blushed that much if she wasn't into him.
space"I thought about writing, but if I had, it would've ended up being some stupid cryptic 'I need to talk to you' thing that probably would've freaked you out and made you think something was wrong," he explained, for once sort of proud of himself. He wasn't usually that great at forethought. But he'd actually put quite a bit of it into this, which was probably a better sign than any of how serious he was. A few years ago, he wouldn't have believed this was him. But a few years ago, he hadn't known Lyre. And he hadn't had two sets of married friends with kids making him feel like a schmuck for being single. It'd been fun... in his twenties. But he found recently that the only thing about being in his twenties he really cared to let go (he was still in shock that he was thirty, to be honest) was the single life. Fun... but not so much anymore. He got lonely. A lot. He wanted to have someone around he could rely on being there. It'd taken him a while to get there, but hey, better late than never, right?
spaceAnd, on that note, no time like the present, he thought. He wanted an answer, even if he felt like he already knew what it was. "Anyway. I'll be out of your hair in a minute, promise. I just wanted to pop in and ask if you'd be willing to go out with me sometime. Preferably sooner rather than later, but whenever you've got a free evening is fine." He offered her a confident smile. It was almost the same one on the cover of the magazines, except that one had been a pose, and this was real. It was a small difference, but it was there.

Lyre smiled back at James, happy he was here... Why was he here? He asked if she was busy, and the redhead shook her head. Not much to do except scream at a poorly written book. In fact, she was more than happy for the distraction. Wait... he wanted a conversation face to face? Was something bad happening?! "No, no, I'm not busy. What do you need to talk about?" Her eyes were wide, focusing on the man. He looked good no matter where he was, didn't he? From bright shop lights to the odd lighting of her work... Wait... important conversation here, no time to be distracted... even if he made a very good distraction.
When James mentioned writing a "we need to talk" sort of letter, she blinked in worry a few times, smile turning into a nervous frown. "James... is everything alright?" Her head tilted, something her mum always did when she was worrying over the kids. Apparently Lyre did the same when Loki got sick. Silly cat. James looked in thought for a second, so Lyre let him have a moment, until he snapped back to reality. His question made her pause a moment, blinking. Her mouth opened in a small 'o', the young woman trying to take in what he'd asked.
He, James Masters wanted to go on a date with she? Did he know she was a quiet little bookworm? Despite the few obvious differences she could think of, her thoughts were swirled by his warm hands, sweet smile, and chivalrous, Gryffindor sort of manner. He was also pretty darn cute. After a second of silence, a smile broke over the redhead's face, blush accenting dimpled cheeks. "I'd love to go on a date with you, James. As for a time, I agree, sooner would be nice. How about Friday? I'm off work that day, so we'll be free to do whatever you want." Her thoughts were loaded with all sorts of cheesy romantic movies she'd seen, several dozen date ideas flooding... but no. She'd let James decide their date, since he was lovely enough to ask her out. She wanted to scream with excitement, but both her location and her quiet nature prevented such an act. Maybe she'd ask Ada for advice. She was always nice!
