We all done stabbing each other and being drunk and hungover as shit? Could've done without that, but then I guess that's not news for anyone here.

Anyway. Some of you folks already figured from how I was dropped into the fountain in full gear, but I'm a firefighter. Squad, even — [ he flashes a quick grin, almost mischievous. ] — which is way better.

Point is, you see a fire, get stuck somewhere, a building collapses, that kind of thing — call the fire department and we'll get you out, all right?

[hexuality]

In the long run, no, it really wasn't that bad.

So what's the difference with being in squad?

[seriousheat]

We do rescues, instead of just putting out fires.

[hexuality]

Always good to have a few more like you around here.

[seriousheat]

Sure seems like it. [ The fire department here is seriously understaffed. ]

[hexuality]

Rescues are a bit more necessary, unfortunately. Usually stubborn friends or family get involved, but having some sort of official way to go about it's always good. And that's coming from someone who runs off by herself to do most of this, anyway.

[seriousheat]

Better to let someone trained for it handle it.

[hexuality]

For the people who can't manage it themselves, yeah.

[seriousheat]

And for people who think they can manage themselves and overestimate themselves.

[hexuality]

Oi, don't talk about what you don't know.

[seriousheat]

Oh, I know people overestimate themselves.

[hexuality]

Maybe.

But maybe you should trust in them a bit, too.

[seriousheat]

I'll trust the ones who know what they're doing.

[hexuality]

We come from different worlds, you know. Different situations. You'd be surprised.

[seriousheat]

Testy. [ He's been talking about people who can't handle themselves. That she assumes that means he's talking about her is telling. ]

[hexuality]

Hardly.

[Youngest and only girl of seven. You can't undo that history and how it colours certain things.]

[seriousheat]

If this is hardly testy, I'd hate to see you actually testy.

[hexuality]

I'm sure people say that about most Weasleys.

[seriousheat]

[ lifting his hands. ] Whatever you say.

[hexuality]

Alright. Maybe most gingers, then.

[seriousheat]

[ he has a ginger on his team who's easy-going. ] I still think it's just you.

[hexuality]

I'm so flattered.

[seriousheat]

[ that he thinks you're testy? ] Sure.
