To Neil (Pereira)

[Adélaïde Lamoureux]

Hi.

I was just wondering how you were. How's your job treating you so far? Mine is hellishly strenuous and all my seniors are really serious and very tough taskmasters. But I guess it'll pay off in the end, right?

I actually miss you a lot. How's your sister, and Archer? Did he get a job? Can we meet? (Just to clarify, by 'we' I mean you and me, not Archer and me. Though I'd quite like to meet him too.)

Yours affectionately
Adé

PS: Sorry this sounds so formal. I tried using words like 'darling' and 'love' and adding x's but the end result sounded like it was written by a drunk fifteen year old, all offence meant to my brother.

[Neil Pereira]

Hey, oh man, I thought this might be your letter but then I think I accidentally put a pile of newspaper on it and forgot. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

My job sucks, to be honest. I don't even know why I do it, but on the bright side....I might be thinking of contacting Stanley soon because But I think I can manage well for now.

I miss you too. How's the Healing going about? Jade's okay, I think, but she seems a bit nervous the last time she was writing an owl. No idea what that's about and Will is acting off-ish, but he won't say anything.

Yes, we can meet, actually. Where to? London or you could just come over to my place.

Yours,
Neil

PS: Don't worry about. If you wrote stuff like that, I'd wonder what was put in your tea. Speaking of crazy family, where are you planning on staying now?

[Adélaïde Lamoureux]

Hey, you. I won't blame you for it because this letter arrived when I was with Gloria and she hates men so she was looking at me like 'I can't believe you think your boyfriend is more important than my lectures'. Just because I tried opening it when I thought she wasn't looking.

Why do you do it? You wanted to go into the Ministry, right? What happened?

The Healing is okay. Tough, but okay. No-one's died yet which is good. Though there is a particularly stubborn patient.

I'll come to your place; so it won't be a repeat of last time. Want me to bring anything?

Yours
Adé

PS: Thank god; I knew there had to be an upside to dating you. I don't know. Seeing if anyone's interested in sharing apartments. Right now though I'm staying at the Leaky.

[Neil Pereira]

I think that's the first time you've called me your boyfriend. Good for you, finally getting into that pretty little head. Well, I won't write to you when you're at work again, promise.

Well, my grades happened. You know how shitty the whole of last year was for me (right up until the end) and well, even I'm not perfect enough to suddenly pull my grades up. I got one NEWT too less. But don't worry about it, I'm not.

Okay, try not to kill anybody then. And who's the patient? Do we know him? Or of him?

Uh no, not really. Just please, come, distract me, anything.

Mine, huh?,
Neil.

PS: The only upside? You've got your priorities in the wrong order. Hmm...I'd offer up my place but all the rooms are taken so you'd have to bunk with me and it's a bit early for that, eh? What about your friend, Nicki? Isn't she super rich or something? Sure she'd have a place.

[Adélaïde Lamoureux]

Uhm.. yeah. You are my boyfriend. Right? So why shouldn't I say that?

Aw. I would say I told you so but I really don't want you to feel any worse. So... what exactly do you have to do on the job?

No. I don't think we know him. Name's Cuffe, if you know anyone by that name?

Sure, I'll be there on Sunday; it's the only day I have off. And that's also until I become a full-time Healer, after which I'll have to work extra on weekdays to get the weekends off. Should I come in the afternoon, or evening?

Oh, shut up, you're making me blush.
Ade

PS: Really? What are the other upides? Enlighten me. That bit about sharing a bed made me blush, again. And I don't know about Nicki. I should write to her, I guess.

(OOC: Could you start this thread or should I?)

[Neil Pereira]

No, I just meant that it's the first time you've called me that.

I have to do the desk work, file papers, fetch coffee, tag along with the reporters. I'm just an intern so there isn't a lot of hands on work for me to do yet. But, I'm not planning on sticking with the Prophet for long.

Nope, no Cuffe.

Look at that, my girl being a busy busy bee and everything. Come in the afternoon. Evening will be way to hectic for us to handle, and a late nighter before a Monday morning is something we both could do without, yeah?

Mission accomplished.
Neil

PS: Do you really want me to write them down? Yes, write to her. I don't want you staying at the Leaky forever.

((OOC: I could start it, I guess =] ))

[Adélaïde Lamoureux]

Oh, well. I guess that's because of us not seeing each other since the exams started.

Honestly, I can't imagine you doing that; but I guess that's what interns have to do. My job isn't that great either - watch over patients and report to Gloria, and all the little menial things the other healers think themselves too high and mighty to do. Why? Are you planning to work somewhere else?

Okay, I'll be there. Will it be just you or will your sister and Archer be there? I kind of hope it's just you.

I literally have no words.
Adé.

PS: Well, you will have to show me sometime then. And yeah, I'll write to her.
