'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.
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.]
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.]
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.
[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.]
[whatevs same difference]
Oh, hullo, Sirius. How are 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.]
no subject
[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.
no subject
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?

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.
no subject
[Awkward. She glosses over it.]
Chocolate. Anything specific? Any...kind?

When, er, when d'you want to come?

Hullo.

Surprise.

[He reaches up, tangling his and Alice's fingers together, and glances toward Sirius' voice.]
You invite her over?
no subject
He did, in fact.
no subject
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.
no subject
[He grins widely, leaning against her.]
Though I doubt it took much convincin' to get you here, mm?
no subject
[She leans back, kissing his cheek.]
But go on, guess. It's quite a surprise.
