*There's an Andrew coming down the stairs. A very shaggy-haired Andrew, rubbing his eyes and beaming sleepily at the entire room. He steps up to the bar a yard or so down from Raph, and lays a hand flat on its surface.*

Hi hon. Missed you. What's good for breakfast?

*A plate of blackberry pancakes and bacon materalizes. There's a tiny Union Flag stuck into the top of the stack of pancakes.*

*Andrew grins.* Good to see you, too.

At some point following the thread with Jubilee, Angelo re-emerges, and grins when he sees Andrew.

"You made it back, then."

[ooc: will be disappearing in about fifteen, for up to two hours while I commute home, but Angelo insisted]

Angelo! Hi, yeah, I made it back -- how've you been?

"Pretty good." He's smiling, though there is an undertone of worry to it. "Jubilee showed up today."

Jubilee? That's great! I ...

*Andrew's smile fades as something occurs to him.*

She was there when you, uh ... wasn't she.

"Yeah, she was, uh... kinda shocked." Understatement of the century, Espinosa. "But she's adjusting! I think."

*Yeah, there's nothing like running into a friend you saw die...*

That's good.

"It's really good to see her again. She's Bound, which I kind of wish..." He trails off. He wishes it was her choice to stay, but he can't help being a little selfishly glad that she has to.

When's she from? I mean, how long after...?

"Didn't ask", Angelo says quietly. "It's not the... didn't want to make her talk about it more than she wanted to, you know?"

...yeah.

*A pause.* Could I ... could I maybe get to meet her sometime? Once she's been here a while?

*Jubilee was always one of his favorites.*

Angelo grins. "Course you can. When she's settled in."

*And Bernard's out early today.

He walks past Andrew, distracted, heading behond the Bar to make sure things are all set for the day.*

Hi, Bernard!

*Andrew sounds a lot happier than Bernard's seen him lately. Or, well, had seen him lately, before he left.*

*Bernard jumps and whirls around.*

Holy shit!

*Andrew grins.* Hi. Sorry, didn't mean to startle you -- I got back in last night.

*He's gaping.*

Um.

Have you seen Meg?

*Andrew's smile deepens.*

Yeah, last night.

I think she's still asleep.

*And now Bernard's grinning.*

Welcome back.

You were missed.

Thanks. Believe me, it was mutual.

*He pats the bar, absently.*

So, ah ...

I hear there's been a lot going on since I left.

*Bernard snorts.*

No shit.

Who do you want to hear about first?

...let's start closest to home?

How're you and the family doing?

*And at this, Bernard smiles.*

Good, now. I don't know if you heard yet, but there was an attack on Hogsmeade, which is a village in Nymphadora's England.

-- Hogsmeade, yeah, that's right by the school --

Everybody okay?

*Tim gave them guns, Raph said.*

Nymphadora and Bill Weasley were taken. People in the village were killed.

They were gone for three days.

But they're back now.

Thank Frith.

*He shifts a little on the barstool.*

Um ...

Raph told me a little about what happened with Tim.

I mean. What he did.
