Removing the snow from atop the wooden picnic table had been easy enough and Scorpius, now with his robes properly charmed to repel water and insulated to protect him from the cold, is lying atop of it.

With an almost half-empty bottle of (pilfered-from-his-friend) Ogden's Old forgotten beside him, a fire curling in his belly, and an old, charred broom at his feet.

He had been working on a modified charm for the broom. It hadn't turned out as well as he would've liked, as evident by the charred (and still smoking) remains of bristles.

He's obviously not too bothered by the experiment gone wrong. Maybe the firewhiskey helped or maybe it's just one of those days. Peacefully perfect - or perfectly peaceful - and he can't be bothered to care.

He's just going to enjoy the oncoming night, gloved fingers curled loosely around the neck of the bottle.

"Oh that sort. They win games but aren't always fun."

[alsoagreengrass]

"Not always, no," Scorpius agrees with a laugh. "He has us running around on the ground. For a game that involves flying."

He shrugs, still grinning, rather goofy-like.

"But, he isn't that awful. I've learned some neat tricks from him."

"It never hurts to know how to run, keeps you on your toes. If you want another way to practice, I need to do some sparring,"

Since clearly using a sword will help just as much.

[alsoagreengrass]

"Maybe it doesn't hurt to know, but that doesn't mean I want to be doing so at half five in the morning."

He raises an eyebrow.

"Sparring?"

[makesthings]

"Swords, I try and practice but I've been sick so haven't for a while."

[alsoagreengrass]

"I don't think... I don't know... If I'd be very good at that sort of thing."

Especially not while as inebriated as he is. He clumsily mimes swinging a sword.

[makesthings]

"Not now, but maybe another time. Its not that hard."

[alsoagreengrass]

Another time?

"Why not," Scorpius says, cheerfully so.

He's generally fond of new adventures, but, in this particular case, liquid courage might be playing some role in his agreeing to.

"Its almost night time and too dark to do anything,"

Also that whiskey is potent.
