ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Frank

[alt_alice]

Frank?

I need you.

Finbar and Richard are fighting.

I've managed to get their wands away before they caused too much damage, and I don't want to put them in full body binds but it's getting to that point and I think they'd be calmer if you were here please hurry we're by the winter garden.

I think Richard's nose is broken.

bugger

on my way.

bringing steve and victor for back up.

where's dan?

[alt_alice]

He's here.

I'm trying to get him to not join in but he's angrier than I've ever seen him before.

[alt_frank]

right.

blast them with water to keep them apart until I can get fin out of there.

[alt_alice]

No need. They're winding down. But Portia and Lisa won't stop crying, and Richard's nose is a fountain, and just get here quickly please.

[alt_frank]

well that was interesting.

[alt_alice]

Has Fin told you anything?

[alt_frank]

not really.

but I can sort it out well enough.

[alt_alice]

I knew Richard and Dan were getting close.

I thought I might be reading too much into it, after what happened with Remus and Sirius.

So I didn't want to assume.

Is Fin... jealous? You think?

[alt_frank]

no. not in that way, at least.

he's hurt, no mistake, but it's not because he'd rather be in dan's place.

least I don't think so.

whenever he feels anything strong, it just comes out as angry, I think.

[alt_alice]

Yes.

I'm just glad he had enough control to not do something he'd truly regret later.

That's due to you mostly, love, I think.

And it shows we didn't make an enormous mistake giving him a wand. Although he fights like that one more time and he'll not be getting it back again.

[alt_frank]

we agree there general.

[alt_alice]

Poor Danny.

Poor dear.

He looked so sad and angry and lost.

I could strangle Fin and Richard both for putting him in that position.

I forget sometimes that he's not a little boy any more.

[alt_frank]

the first kid at moddey dhoo.

remember finding him?

never seen anyone eat that much. and it took him a good six months to start talking in full sentences.

[alt_alice]

I thought when he didn't show interest in Lucy, and then Jacinda that he was just being shy.

Richard had better be good to our Dan.

I've fixed Richard's nose and taken care of some of the more obvious bruises, and left them alone. And I think Danny should take tea with us tomorrow. You, me, and Kevin.

I think he's a bit embarrassed.

[alt_frank]

right.

I'll be there.

I'll give rick a bit of a talking to in the bargain.

[alt_alice]

Be nice, love.

We want him to treat Danny well. Not scare him off for good.

[alt_frank]

I won't scare him. much.
