Cassandra & Nick ;; Threads - Blog Posts

Sighing longingly at Nick's words, Cassie thought that perhaps she was long overdue a proper vacation. Even when she went away, she still seemed to end up bombarded with owls asking for advice. Perhaps if she went international that was less likely to occur. "I don't want to dash your dreams, Nick, but I'm a perpetually busy healer. I rarely have time to get up to anything exciting. I can tell you some of the most exciting wounds I've healed recently if you want."

"Blue seas and cloudless skies. It was the anti-Britain." Nick said with a sigh. He did miss the views, even if the company here was much better. Clinking his glass against hers he took a sip and gave her a look over. "What did I miss, then? Surely you've done something exciting. Emir was a bore when I asked him."

"Oh shit, that is exciting. Now that I think about it you do look more tanned than anyone should be in this weather," Cassie said, casting her gaze over him again. "I bet it was beautiful blue seas, right? Nothing like the grey water we have here." When the bottles arrived, Cassie uncorked the wine and poured them both a glass. "Cheers to your birthday," she said, clinking her glass against his.

"Aruba, bitches." Nick said, smug as can be. "I tried being a changed man for like, two days and it didn't take. Pushes someone into the ocean instead, felt much better." It didn't take him long to flag down a waiter, took even less time to shove a few galleons their way and get two of their finest bottles of red. "Only for you, Cassie."

"Was it a particularly exciting vacation? If it was for your birthday, please tell me it was somewhere tropical like Indonesia. Don't tell me you went on a classic British holiday to the Costa-del-Sol and came back a changed man," Cassie snorted. "If you are buying, I'll take a glass of red. Whatever's most expensive."

"You go on one fucking birthday vacation," Nick grouched, almost close enough to good-natured to pass as friendly, "And it's like everyone forgets you exist. Come on, catch me up. What did I miss? Don't make me buy you a drink to pry news out of you."
