I could...pick something up from Funtom. What do the two of you like?
[She sets her hands on her hips.]
The both of us. You shan't convince me that he won't be happier with you there as well, Sirius. [He just wanted his friend to come home, the last time she saw him.]

[Guilt suffuses him for a moment, but he shoves it away as quickly as possible.]
Yeah, well, you're different. He sees me every bloody day. Er-- [He has the grace to wince just a little.] You know what I mean.
And chocolate, that's what we like best. Loads of chocolate.

I don't believe... Ah, well--
[Awkward. She glosses over it.]
Chocolate. Anything specific? Any...kind?

All kinds. And I mean that, miss, all kinds, every chocolate out there. All in one cake. [A beat.] Except white chocolate, that isn't even really chocolate.
When, er, when d'you want to come?
When, er, when d'you want to come?
I'll head to the store now... Hm. In an hour, perhaps? Would that be all right?
Yeah. Yeah, that's brilliant. I'll tell him. Send me a message when you reach the firehouse, I'll tell you the password.
All right. I should be there in about an hour. I'll call you.
WOULD YOU LIKE an action thread or a log or what... I can have Thleen jump in right here....

Right. Until then, miss.
[Jack is sipping a cup of coffee, curled up on the couch, scratching at Yorick's ears.]
[She's brought what she's promised, as well as a few other things she found in the shop, and she sets them on the table once Sirius has let her in. She goes over to him and touches his shoulder.]
Hullo.
Hullo.
[Sirius follows her in, a little over-eager to compensate for nervousness and uncertainty. He leaps onto the couch on Jack's other side.]
Surprise.
Surprise.
Oye!
[He reaches up, tangling his and Alice's fingers together, and glances toward Sirius' voice.]
You invite her over?
[He reaches up, tangling his and Alice's fingers together, and glances toward Sirius' voice.]
You invite her over?
[She smiles warmly and goes to sit on his other side, keeping her hand in his.]
He did, in fact.
He did, in fact.
[He glances up at Alice, with a grin, and then back at Jack again.]
Yeah, yeah, and it took loads of convincing to get her here. Anyway, I've a surprise!
[He jumps off the couch and goes to his trunk in the corner.]
Guess what I'm doing, Jack, guess.

[He jumps off the couch and goes to his trunk in the corner.]
Guess what I'm doing, Jack, guess.
Wavin' your wand?
[He grins widely, leaning against her.]
Though I doubt it took much convincin' to get you here, mm?
[He grins widely, leaning against her.]
Though I doubt it took much convincin' to get you here, mm?
Not really.
[She leans back, kissing his cheek.]
But go on, guess. It's quite a surprise.
[She leans back, kissing his cheek.]

Looking through my trunk.
[The way that he says this, it ought to have some sort of special significance--but he isn't long about it, all things considered, and a moment later he's scrambling back to the couch. Even the scrambling is made awkward by the stack of movies he's trying to carry at the same time, and he dumps them in Jack's lap, taking one of his hands and flopping it down on the pile.]
Here here here here. Films. Old-timey Muggle films about cowboys, and we're going to sit here and enjoy them. [He leans his chin against Jack's knee, grinning up at him, even though he can't see it--and he won't be able to see the movies, either, and that could be a depressing thought, but it isn't going to be; it's not allowed to be.] With amusing commentary, of course.

[He laughs, both genuinely pleased and slightly embarrassed.]
Where the hell did you get all this? Jesus, thanks, this is-- I mean, you didn't have to-- to do all this, you know.

It's your birthday; why wouldn't he?
[She's actually...fairly impressed with how much he has there. She's looking them over, but the smile she gives Sirius is the brightest one she's given in days. She doesn't linger on the idea that Jack won't be able to see them. He will, just not right now.]
...Though I'd like to know where you got them as well.
[Since she's never seen a movie in her life.]

[Jack's voice is happy, nearly ecstatic as he speaks.]
Oh darlin'! Sweetness, light-o'-my-life darlin'? I got a surprise for us. Don't eat dinner tonight. Meet me at my house-- er-- an hour before the siren sounds.

[Oh, what's this? She sends a text back to say she'll be there, of course, and once she sends all the little ones to bed and has changed out of her work clothes, she heads over to Jack's place to see him.]
[He smirks as he opens the door.]
That's a lovely blue blouse you got on.
[Notably, he doesn't have his sonar device in.]

[She smiles, smoothing it down.]
Thank you. It's the usual, but--
[Wait. She pauses.]
...Jack?
Thank you. It's the usual, but--
[Wait. She pauses.]
...Jack?
And those eyes o' yours-- Christ, I never noticed how perfect they are. That smile? I could stare at it all day.
