[he doesn't know Alice very well himself, but he knows her through Jack. And this is a little... awkward, but--whatever.]
Oi, Alice. [A beat.] Er. Hello, I mean.
Oi, Alice. [A beat.] Er. Hello, I mean.
[She sounds surprised but certainly not put off.]
Oh, hullo, Sirius. How are you?
Oh, hullo, Sirius. How are you?
I'm-- yeah.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Reading.
[She quirks a brow at her NV book.]
Why?
[She quirks a brow at her NV book.]
Why?
'Cos I wanted to ask you something, and I wanted to be sure that you weren't busy. That's politeness.
[It's a strained attempt at humour, which means it's not actually humourous at all. Merlin, but he sounds an idiot. Right.]
I wanted to ask you to come over. On Jack's behalf. Which sounds weird, I know, but he didn't put me up to it, or anything, I was just-- He's perfectly capable of asking on his own.

Quite. Thank you.
[She pauses, considering. It's not that she would decline to come over, but--]
Is he all right? He's not hurt, is he?
[Blind, certainly, but that's not the point.]

[Blind, certainly, but that's not the point.]
No. He's all right--all things considered.
[That's also not a joke, though he wishes it was or could be. There's a pause on his end as well.]
It was his birthday the other day. The twelfth. I was going to do something bigger, but it seemed-- Anyway. Whenever you like, you can come over.

[She understands. She's quiet a moment before she responds.]
I'll be over. We can do something special for him.
[Even if it's just the three of them.]
...I'm rather atrocious at baking, though. Does he even like cake?

Loves it, unfortunately, but don't fuss. I can manage to get that bit of it together--I made him a cake for the day of it, but we already ate it. And you can't reuse cakes, y'know, that's cheating.
[Her easy acceptance is definitely helping to make things a bit brighter.]
As long as you're there, he'll be happy. So. [On his end, he shrugs, though she can't see it. The situation is a bit brighter, yeah, but not without a touch of awkwardness still. Feelings, what are they.]
