Josh

"For all of these bedroom skills I have heard so much about Josh, you are still yet to show me. For all I know, you started the rumours yourself."

Taking a cigarette with a nod of thanks at the other, he fumbled about with the lighter for a moment before lighting up the end and taking a deep drag. The smoke blew in a well-practiced stream from between his lips before he grinned at River and gave her arse a squeeze. "Trust me, babe. They are more than just rumors," he claimed, his eyes roaming over her for a moment before meeting her gaze with a clear, steady intent.

"Don't rush out after the party, love."

"Before this gets any worse I am brining t'eh baby upstairs where she won't be surroundeed by sooch perversion!"

Laughing, Josh reached over and gave the tiny kitten a ruffle on it's head. "Let it play with Rocky," he grinned, making reference to Leathan's boa constrictor. "I'm sure they'd get along famously."

His laughter, and grin, died in the next moment as his intern appeared on the scene, his eyes taking in her appearance with the speed of a man who was used to sizing up the female figure.

When he saw her sit next to the no account bad boy, Jam, his eyes narrowed. Quite forgetting that he was surrounded by any number of others - he pulled another deep drag on the cigarette and watched the interplay between the two taking particular note of just how much attention Jam paid to the barely covered upper portion of the girl.

And so, he was stuck glowering over at the two until he managed to yank his gaze from them and tug River onto his lap as Morela returned to the scene.

"Tell me, love," he said, trying to keep his voice normal and his eyes from roaming to Jam and Modesty, "just what are these skills that have been exalted about me?" he asked, trying to bring the conversation to something that could, hopefully, keep his attention: namely, him.




Leathan

"Hello Leathan."

Leathan, after giving a wave back to Dam, grinned up at Jacquie. "Hello, love! It's good to see you here. I hear rumors that you're going to be starting up at Lux in the fall, yes?" he asked, plopping a few bangers onto a plate and handing them to her before shifting the ones still on the grill over to make room for a few new ones.

"Leath, choo didn't tell me Benjy 'ere 'ad gotten even cuter seence the last time I saw heem. Really Leath, sometimes I wonder if choo want to keep all t'e cute ones for yourself."

Leathan's laughter followed her across the courtyard before he called out, just before she disappeared, "Did I tell you? I want a full harem." He laughed a bit more before grinning over at Benjy.

"Watch that one, lad. She'll get her hooks into you before you know what's happened."

"Congratulation guys, looks like you are going to pull another great BBQ."

"Hey! Thanks, Eddie! Here," he paused in his cooking and snagged a London Pride from the ice chest, pressing the cold bottle into the new Auror's hand. "Drink up, lad. It's what a party's all about."
