There is one more empty bed in the infirmary.

The reason for that is sitting on the piano, glancing around the bar with sharp green eyes.

He's a little slow still, but really feeling much better.

Really.

Raven settles on the piano bench, head tilted to peer at Puck.

"You are well, perhaps?"

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck smiles tolerantly, as if Raven's just told him a joke that's not particularly good.

"Perhaps."

[creator_raven]

"It is mine to interpret, then?"

Is Puck crazy?

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

An arched eyebrow.

A moment of consideration.

The conclusion that that's a Really Amusing, Though Admittedly Bad, Idea.

"I suppose I could leave it to your discretion-- such as it is."

[creator_raven]

"Sometimes I am not so bad at keeping secrets, perhaps."

Raven tilts his head a little farther.

"It is a thing you are wanting?"

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck laughs, shaking his head.

"It was my hope that you should provide your profound opinion on the matter of my wellbeing."

[creator_raven]

"Hope is, perhaps, frustrating, yes?"

He blinks.

This is not helpful.

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

A woeful sigh.

"Apparently. Eternal though it may spring."

[creator_raven]

"It is a pretty thought, that."

A lie, in some instances, but pretty nonetheless.

There's grey eyes glancing back from a booth. No fox this time, just a wizard in dark green robes. He was leery of animal form except in the woods during the day, and where he knew that bitch and her controlling ribbons were nowhere in sight.

Puck arches an eyebrow, smiling just a little.

As if to say, Well?

"Going to rile us with some music selections then?" Draco asked blithingly. Completely unaware of illnesses or incidents or such.

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck smiles sweetly.

"If that's to your tastes."

Do not tell the Fair Folk to play music.

Do not EVER.

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

Heh, though of course Draco wouldn't know this. Different world, different beings and rules. He'd be so screwed if he ended up in Faerie. Doesn't even know about not accepting gifts, or to always use good manners there.

Draco snorted, "What do you know of my tastes anyway? Never mind, probably not any good anyway."

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck?

Laughs.

It is not at all a nice laugh.

And he opens his mouth, and a song comes out of it-- not good, perhaps, so much as it is compelling, absolutely enchanting.

"Where the bee sucks, there suck I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie:
There I couch when owls do cry,
On a bat's back I do fly.
After summer, merrily,
Merrily, merrily, shall I live now.
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough."

Draco may even hear the faintest silvery sounds of flutes or bells in his ears to go along with it.

It is, and despite his Occulumency trained mind, it takes him unexpectedly. It was rather fascinating, and intriguing. Pretty really.

He found himself half closing his eyes to listen to it.

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck tilts his head to the side expectantly, as if he's eager to hear what Draco thought of it but hesitant to ask.

As if he is.

"You're in my spot," Charlie says easily, sitting in a chair close enough to prop up his feet on the bench. "How're you?"

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck blinks owlishly.

"I wasn't aware that a musician tended to sit on his instrument rather than at it."

[bloodyrockgod]

"If the musician is singing and vamping, maybe. Intent on becoming a lounge singer?"

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck considers this.

He's good at singing, even if he usually cheats.

He's EXTRA good at lounging.


... :D

"Do tell me more."

[bloodyrockgod]

"Well," Charlie swings onto the bench and plays a scale, "I play, you sing and--well--flirt--and you're in-bar entertainment."

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Puck beams!

"I think I should be most amenable to something of that sort."

[bloodyrockgod]

"But do you know any appropriate songs, that's the question."

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

"I can easily make one up, if you've a tune," Puck says breezily, waving a hand.
