Who knew what exactly Dorcas deserved, if she would even live long enough to have something that she would consider love. They were living in a war and nothing was guaranteed. "What if that is my style, hit it and quit it." The witch tried to keep a straight face before she burst out in laughter. "At least we'll have each other and this bottle of firewhiskey." Alcohol was something she would never turn down. She can feel an anger build for Rabastan, she had always suspected him of being a death eater, but snooping around where they weren't wanted, that pissed her off. "Is it wrong I would have loved to be here when he tried? I'm sure you put him in his place."

“Honey, you deserve a lot more than those ones for just the night,” Ros mentioned to her friend as she pointed at the woman to bring her words across more. She poured herself a firewhiskey as well and took a sip of the liquid, enjoying the burn of the alcohol in her throat for a second before she spoke again. “My love life is even worse than yours.” She didn’t even know the last time around she had a hookup, like Dorcas probably had had. It was the last thing she wanted to talk about. So the subject of Lestrange was a pleasant change. As far as that man could be something pleasant, of course. “Someone apparently reached out to the Ministry that there was a problem here with a spell. Which wasn’t the case, but the last thing I need is for him to remove the protective spells.” Dorcas knew exactly what was hidden in the back of the establishment. She knew that Lestrange was suspicious, but all she could do was hope that she had done enough for him to not act on it.

Dorcas had no idea what she was doing, leading with instincts that were all wrong, but there was something sexy about Nick, that at the moment, she didn't want to punch him in the face. Slender fingers grasp at his shirt, tugging it free, palms sliding up his abs. Her head cants slightly, granting him better access. "Shut up, and don't say anything." The last thing she wanted, was for him to ruin the moment. "Just kiss me," which really meant, just fuck me.

Nick chuckled in the back of his throat, happy to let her lead them into the alleyway and out of sight. Yeah he was definitely gonna have to provoke her more often. She could certainly kiss. He broke the kiss to pepper a trail of kisses along her jaw and behind her ear. "Having fun yet?" He muttered.

The more Dorcas listened to Molly explain her family life, what it was like being married and having kids, there was a part of Dorcas that longed for that as well, but she had this gut feeling it would never be in her cards. Something she had long accepted and knew there was no way to get away from it. "I'm sure between all of them, they keep you busy. I will have to remember to send you over tea, that way you never run out." She young witch gives a small chuckle.

"I have been working, nothing out of the usual." There was no need to mention that things were busier with the Order. "Accepting the occasionally bet here and there."

"Suspicious is indeed the word. Under normal circumstances I'm the kind of woman who needs her tea before being spoken to in the morning. I don't have much time in the morning because the boys wake up and then I have to get into mom mode. It's rare that I do coffee. When I need it it means time is rough. Luckily Arthur understands that and makes it work on my tough mornings." Molly was truly lucky to have Arthur and knew it. She hated snapping at him but sometimes it happened and that's when she knew she needed to step out and he knew that's all it was. It was a blessing.

"I would have to say I'm everyone's ticket as well," Molly laughed. "For some reason too many people attach themselves to me. I won't complain. Seems we're the lucky ones?" she chuckled. "But in all honestly, when I'm not in bitch mode, the family is great. The boys are crazy but light up my life like nothing else can. And Arthur is always Arthur. I couldn't survive without him." Just answering that question helped bring Molly's blood pressure down slightly. Or it may have been the coffee.

"What have you been up to? There must be some interesting things going on in your life. After all, it's you," she asked, drinking her coffee.

who: @lilyflowerss where: lily's home

With the afternoon off, she found herself close to Lily's home, that she thought about stopping by to see if she was home. It had been a little since the two of them had seen each other. She was trying to keep a certain wizard off her mind, already berating herself for what happened.

Dorcas knocked on the door. "Lils, it's Doe. I hope you're home." James could have been there too, and seeing him wouldn't have been a horrible thing either. "Lilsssss."

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

"It has been bothering me the last two hours." A sheepish grin etches into her features, knowing damn well how she hurt herself, but she could dance around it the best she could. Another time a dare didn't work in her favour. "I can't put full pressure on it, but I can shift it that I can at least wobble where I need to go." She may have wrapped it too, becoming a pro at it, at least this time it wasn't Betty yelling at her. Her head slants back and forth, he was hot, maybe a few extra visits when he was working would not hurt. "Are you sure?"

Beck's eyes follow her motion and tilts his head. "How long has it been hurting and do you remember anything that could've led to it happening?" He wrote something down and then stood up. "When you walk, how much pressure are you putting on it?" He gave a small and rare laugh. "My time is better spent to make sure you're well, so you can take up as much of it as you like."

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

It wasn't abnormal for Dorcas to end up at St. Mungo's. She had at least made a visit twice a week. Some of the healers knew her by name. At least this time it wasn't severe and she could go about without telling anyone how it happened. The witch lifts up her right leg. "My ankle. I'm sure it's a sprain but better to get it sorted." An innocent smile seeps on her lips. "I won't keep too much of your time." She did have to get back to work.

Where: St. Mungo's Status: Open

This wing of the hospital wasn't busy today and yet he still answered for a long time with patients for obscure reasons. He was about to give himself a minor break when another round was handed to him. Beck didn't even look over the paperwork that the trainee left for him. Instead, he walked to the appointed room and opened the door. "Nice to meet you, I'll be your healer," he introduced with a short smile as he pulled up a chair. "So what seems to be the problem that brought you in today?"

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

This was dangerous, and for that fact, it enticed Dorcas further. Her fingers comb up into the back of his hair, tangling. Nicholas with his mouth shut and lips on hers, he was beginning to prove himself in a new manner. The witch met the deepening of the kiss, mixing her own passion, leading them further back into the alley, out of the sight of others. There was no denying the need for had for him.

This would be fun. He'd half expected her to just punch him again but this direction... well, he wouldn't complain. Now that he had his hands back Nick wrapped his arms around her waist and tugged her closer. He ran his tongue along the seam of her lips, deepening the kiss.

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

Inside her head, the voice was screaming for her to go with them, but she knew better. Plus, it would leave time to decide on what her next move would be for the night. "I saw a friend back there. I'm going to go say hi." And getting away made her less likely to make a fool of herself. "I hope you have a good night."

Whatever embarrassment Dorcas was feeling, Amelia was not the type to focus on or point out. The younger witch was harmless as far as she could see, so it wasn't something worth commenting on. "That's good, last thing I'd want to hear is you not being able to find any of them." She shook her head. "And no, not particularly but I was going to head over to the bar where I'm sure to find plenty people I know." She chuckles. "Do you want a drink? Or shall I leave you to get on with your evening?"

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

The mention of kissing extra people throughout the night, her mind drifts to one, one that she shouldn't have kissed, but there she was. "Probably best I don't go kissing anyone." She glanced around, catching sight of Daisy. "I'm going to go check in on her. I'll find you later."

"Then I suppose you'll just have to kiss a few extra people throughout the year to make up for it." He said with a shrug. She'd probably end up kissing a few more people anyways, but Dorcas always had had a more active social life than Frank had. Not to say that took much... but that wasn't the point.

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

"Well anyone that is chipper this early in the morning I would be suspicious about." Dorcas was not a morning person, even more so, when she had not had any caffeine in her. "I am everyone's ticket." Even so, there was still that little bit of sass that always came with her no matter what state she was in.

Sometimes Dorcas wondered what it would be like to have someone to go home to that was her other person. Marlene was her best friend, but then when she thought about being in a relationship, she knew how much of a wreck she was, and it was something that would never happen. "I agree. I would like to go home back to bed." A small pause. "How is the family doing?"

Molly nodded her head. "Thank Merlin you won't be chipper. I would have to cut off this conversation immediately if you would be. But you must promise that even when you're done with you're coffee you won't turn on me." She almost laughed but was serious at the same time. She couldn't handle anything overwhelming. "I didn't think I would want company but you seem to be the ticket."

She took a sip of her coffee. "I didn't have plans after my coffee. I'm probably expected to go back home so Arthur can go to work." Molly rolled her eyes. "Can today be over yet?"

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

Dorcas was not expecting to feel Nick's lips against hers. At first, she froze, not sure what to do, but there was something, an electric spark, that the witch found herself kissing him back. Bad idea. Apparently, she was good at bad ideas. Her arms come up to wrap around his neck, ignoring all the alarms going off in her head and red flags waving in the air. The adrenaline pumping through her, the hatred she felt for the wizard, but the way his lips felt against hers, she turned off her brain and went with the moment.

Merlin it was easy to get under her skin. Nick couldn't believe he'd ever once been scared of her as a kid. If he'd have known all it took to rile her up was a few easy lies, he'd have done it ages ago. She wanted fun? He'd give her fun. Grinning like a lunatic he leaned forward and kissed her.

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

Dorcas knew she could count on Rosmerta to understand her way of thinking. She was here to make sure Gideon didn't have it easy. He needed to be on his toes. "It has become a hobby of mine." She gives a small snicker. "Do we really? I really don't want to put myself out there." Hookups, sure, but the witch knew not many would want to be with her and she was fine with it. "We could talk about your love life. It's probably better than mine." Her nose wrinkles at the mention of Rabastan Lestrange. He could deny it all he wanted, but she knew he was a death eater, couldn't prove it, and his bitch of a wife. "What did he want?"

Rosmerta stepped away for a moment to get the firewhiskey that was requested by Dorcas and placed the glass in front of the other woman. She was happy that the other agreed with her as well. “Driving Gideon crazy is always fun to do.” She had only been a few years below the two brothers and it was interesting to see how they had been so completely different from one another. “Love life non-existent? We really need to do something about that,” Ros pointed out to her friend. It was easier to meddle with the love life of someone else than to look at her own. “Work is crazy, even though that war goes on, it keeps getting busier over here. And I had a not so pleasant visit from Rabastan Lestrange."

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

Dorcas could not picture Alice with anyone other than Frank. They were two peas in a pod, meant for each other. Maybe one day she would have that, but the witch felt like she wouldn't have a long life, and felt the need to live it the best way she could. "What if I end up not kissing anyone?" It wasn't a huge deal for her.

"Of course she did, Alice has impeccable taste." He said, more proud of his wife than himself in this case. Though if she really had picked anyone else he would've pined horribly for ages. "Living by the seat of your pants, eh? Alright then, we'll just have to wander by some single people and see who you pick."

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

If she was being logical, Dorcas would have walked away, accepting that Nick was a bastard and provoking her, but on the real side, she would have never walked away. He was pushing all the right buttons and all she saw was red. He had to pay for what was done and she was growing frustrated with him, especially the more he spoke. "Then do it!" She challenged him, her eyes inviting him to dare. "I am beginning to think you are all talk, Mulciber." She shoved at him again, pushing him back against the stone wall.

Yeah, this was definitely a little hot. What could he say, he loved a good fight? His adrenaline was rushing and Dorcas looked furious, and there was nothing not to like about this situation. Nick leaned into her touch just to piss her off, grinning. "Maybe you want to find out what Mary found so appealing. Finally learn what your best friend liked so much."

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

She flicked her own wand, blocking his hex that came in her direction, where her better judgement was gone, both her hands shoving him hard up against the wall, catching him by surprise. "Why would I want to flirt with you?" The anger building inside of her, eyes narrowing at him, and she was trying her hardest not to find this situation hot, knowing it was the adrenaline.

She looked furious, like she was moments away from using her bare hands to try and shove him through the brick wall. It was a little hot, honestly, but most dangerous bad ideas were. "A monster? And you said you weren't flirting." He blocked her spell again, aiming at Tripping Hex at her ankles.

[dorcasxaxmeadowes]

Dorcas still felt that flutter of butterflies in the pit of her stomach and she was trying not to look like a complete fool in front of Amelia Bones. What the fuck? She really had to get over this hiccup that made it hard for her to really flirt, at least when it came to witches. "I am sure I can find one of my friends at any point." She smiles. "That is good to know. Are you looking for anyone?"

"Oh I highly doubt that, but I appreciate the compliment." Amelia replied with a small chuckle, shaking her head at Dorcas' comment. There was plenty of other people around that evening that were worth looking at. "Ah, very good. Well I hope that I am not keeping you from them in that case." She nods. "And of course I do. I'm not in the habit of saying things I don't mean."
