the world breaks everyone

Hey Regina! So glad to see you here and not working!

Thanks, Andromeda! It's nice to be somewhere other than St. Mungo's for a change.

Hello everyone!

hor'douevres! Mary, you're a pro at this!

No, I mean… You’re amazing, Regina. I’m happy to go with you, just as much as I would be if I was going with her romantically. It’s… If you knew who it was, this would make sense. But I definitely want to go with you.

Good. Pick me up at 2?

I guess I’ll get to go with who I wanted to. Y-you really want to? Yeah! I mean… Yeah, that sounds good. It’s a date! Or, not a date, a friends thing… Yeah I guess you know what I mean… But you’re one of my best friends too, and there’s no one I’d rather go with.

Oh, I doubt that. You're just being nice, Eddie, I'm sure you'd rather go with the girl you fancy. But anyway, it'll be nice to have you for company.

Yeah, ah… Asking her isn’t exactly an option for me. I wish, but… She’s sort of taken. Not really, but… It’s complicated. 

Nope. Actually...since you can't take who you want and I'll be forever alone, how about we go together? Weddings are dead depressing without a date, and you're one of my best friends, so there's no one I'd rather go with!

Lucky?

Aww, Edgar, that's so sweet! You should invite her to the wedding! I'd love to meet her!

Okay, fair. Not to mention that I might be desperately lovesick, so it’s probably a little too easy to tell. Please don’t guess, please don’t guess, please don’t guess!

Wow, Edgar! I didn't expect to hear that! I always thought you would never settle down.

Come on, Edgar! You're one of my best friends! I just know these things!

Regina!

Oh, who? Is it a girl? 

Don’t you have a department strictly for that?

Yes but that department is currently having some administrative problems and as Head Healer I'm called upon to fill in where need be.

Passed by St. Mungo's the other day...

Hey! There's nothing wrong with St. Mungo's!
