[ accidental video ]

—here! I'm here, sorry, sorry ...

[The feed starts with a jolt, the image jerking all over the place as if the device is being held in a fist of someone running. Which it is. From what you can see between Ginny's fingers, it's a clothes shop—Passione, which she now co-owns with Angela, who is on holiday as of today.

Of course, today is the day Ginny is late to work.]

Overslept, must've hexed my alarm clock when it went off—

[The video finally comes to a halt when Ginny does, the device set down face up on the counter that she's leaning across, speaking to Ellis the NPC who has been assigned to be her extra pair of hands and eyes while Angela's away. Thank Merlin.]

Hey, you're fine. It's okay. [A hand creeps into the frame and points at something, a clock, offscreen.] You got five minutes.

I'm not late?

[There's a self-congratulatory yes quickly followed by Ginny's hand and arm reaching across the device and yanking Ellis to her over the counter; and without preamble, she plants a hard, bold kiss on his mouth.

Poor Ellis startles and his hand knocks the device off the counter and it goes clattering to the floor, ending the feed.]

[ooc; Come at her, bros. Ginny will be working at the shop, out getting coffee, and probably flying later today, as usual. She's a Gryffindor, she celebrates small victories all the time. WON'T YOU COME AND JOIN HER. (P.S. she's 20 years old now, no one has to feel creepy.)]

I'm wondering if it would be inappropriate to going out and risk being kissed when you're in a relationship, curse or not.

[Translation: He is amused and checking if it's worth any to tease Ginny for it, or if she even cares. He's equipped with his most innocent look and everything.]

[Yes, Ginny looks mildly distracted as she answers.]

Relationship, what relationship? I'm not in any relationship.

[Blink.]

No. But I am.

Are you alright?

Fine! Fine, just—

[Getting kissed by someone who's found the perfect tie for his date tomorrow. She clears her throat and smooths over her hair when she settles back in front of her device, rather unruffled.]

Right. Hello, sorry, it's mad in here. I didn't think shopping meant that much to people. [Then she grins.] I know you're in a relationship. How's that, by the way?

[He chuckles quietly.]

Good. Very. She's moved in with Arthur and I now, since her roommate went home.

A shame about her roommate, I know how that goes.

[She smiles.]

Sounds like things at home must be exciting.

It is. Something good for her, I hope.

Well, you're a good bloke, Merlin. There is that.

[kjsdfdg he can't handle all the times people compliment him.]

I try to be.

[She chuckles.]

You do a fine job of it. And it's a good thing we're not in the same room or you might celebrate that or something and I can't snog a taken man.
