007 - Frustration
I went for a long jog this morning and happened by way of the London Fencing Club. Couldn't be happier to have found it, and I immediately changed my plans for the day so that I could spend the morning fencing. Boy, did I ever need it.

Thank Merlin for muscle memory. I'm not as slow or sloppy as I thought I'd be, but I'm definitely not top form, either. It was difficult to keep up with lessons while at Hogwarts, but I did practice ~~here and there while in Russia.~~ My fencing partner was ten years my junior and really gave me a run for my money. I kept up rather well in foil and epee, but he definitely had the edge when we got to sabre. It was a long and exhausting session, and I didn't realize how much I needed to get my frustrations out.

I'm going to have bruises for weeks.

How was your second honeymoon? I need someone to bitch to. Sorry to be blunt.

I may have accidentally gotten you into trouble with Regulus. I'm sorry.

Would you happen to have freetime before Sunday? I'm feeling anxious. ~~And full of adrenaline~~

	Any particular reason for the anxiety? And I could do early Saturday afternoon for a couple of hours, but the case I'm working will keep me tied up until then. We've had to take an Auror off of it, and I'm pulling an extra shift ~~or three~~. So, Three Broomsticks Saturday at one? We'll walk to the spot I have in mind from there, alright?

	I had a falling out with someone who once called himself my best friend. And perhaps I'm a little amped from a long fencing session. Saturday is fine. I will see you there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~That's putting it mildly-~~ I'm sorry to hear that, but perhaps if you give him some time, he'll come around? Fencing, really? That's impressive. I was never good with blades. Excellent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I doubt it. He has changed significantly since we were childhood best friends, and although he welcomed me back from being on the run with open arms, there was a very quick turn around in which he seemed to become... obsessively paranoid. I'm not sure how to phrase that more politely.

I grew up as a muggle, and my father and brother were both quite athletic. Before I went to Hogwarts, fencing was a past time that I shared with them. If you'd like, I could teach you in exchange for your help with my animagus studies.

	I'm sorry to hear that, but I hope that perhaps the rift will not be permanent after all. It's a difficult thing to not be able to talk to your closest friends. ~~I should know-~~ That would be brilliant, actually. I've always been curious about it, and it would give me another usable skill. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
