I don't know, forget it. It's fine.

It's good to see the Prophet offices up and running well again. Unfortunately, the progress on repairing the Minister's offices hasn't been going as smoothly. There was heavy structural damage, but there has been tireless efforts by our wonderful maintenance crew to have us reinstated before the end of this week. Please join me in expressing gratitude.

	You're being paranoid about needing protection. Right. We're putting more practice in at the range. You're buying your own gun and that's it. Considering the Minister was attacked you need to get a bodyguard. Don't be a macho man or I'll do it myself. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alicia _stebbins 2011-06-21 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, you're right. Where do you buy a gun then? And ammo, I'll need some of that, won't I? A bodyguard? What, someone who follows me around all the time? ~~How will I be able to trust even them?~~ I think a gun'll be enough, I just need more practice. And I've got a wand, that's like a gun too. I'll have two, kind of. It's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Muggles are a bit weird with their gun purchasing so let me take care of it. The ammo wont do you much good if you're not willing or able to use it. Someone who has your back all the time. What's going on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, thanks, Al. I ~~really~~ appreciate it. I'll look into it. Nothing's going on, I just [...] I think I've been working too much or something, it's tiredness. Getting spooked by my own shadow or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You need a security detail. I can have the MLE send up some forms to requisition one. And have your robes tailored with protective charms. Strength, hex-repellent, that sort. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Roger _stebbins 2011-06-22 10:44 am UTC (link)
	I can get one of those? I mean, my job's pretty important and all, but wouldn't that resource be better used somewhere else? ~~I don't actually want to get killed though, so~~ But cheers, mate. Don't know why I haven't got those kinds of robes already. How's work been going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robbie corpsdelite 2011-06-22 11:25 am UTC (link)
	I think we can manage to spare someone for you. You should be able to find a tailor to charm them in Diagon. Keeping me busy with all the rabble. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Thanks, mate. And I think I've got someone in mind actually.

And people were wondering whether we needed the army in the first place, thank ~~God~~ Merlin we went ahead with it. I'm alright, can't wait to move our office back upstairs after the bombing a few weeks ago. Working on top of the Level Two personnel sounds less appealing than it did when we organised it as the temporary measure.

	Protection charms? What's going on mate? Do you need a safe place to stay? I've got a guest room in my flat. Have you told Amos? Or are you pulling the "I don't want to bother him with this card?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Zacharias _stebbins 2011-06-23 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	Mate, cheers, but it's all fine. I'd just been thinking about all the other assistants and Ministry supporters have been attacked in the past, coupled with the tiredness made me all paranoid. There's no point, it's over nothing. The man's got his health to think about too, no point worrying him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robbie chasingloyalty 2011-06-23 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	You're being realistic, not paranoid. No shame in that. He cares about you. About us. He doesn't have us over for dinner just for kicks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zacharias _stebbins 2011-06-23 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Unfortunately, it is realistic. I know. I just don't think there's a lot he can do about it either, and it's not a big deal. And ~~the day Cedric-~~ the anniversary's coming up on Friday, it's not the right time anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Protection charms? Like contraception charms or some bloody psycho might be trying to get you through paperwork? Are you alright Robbie? I can make out you're being paranoid. Come for dinner? You can crash at mine if you need to, yeah? A good meal, good company. It'll be good for you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Oh, God, no, nothing like that. I meant hex resistance or something like that, but it's fine. Though with all these terrorists running around, it's better to be safer than sorry, isn't it?

I'll take you up on dinner, and the stay at yours if the meal goes well enough. But you've got to promise you aren't looking after me or anything, should be the other way around.

Robbie..why would you need hex resistant charms? I mean, aside from the obvious. What's changed to make you think the crazies would come near you?
~~I won't let them~~

Me? Help someone else? Think you've got the wrong girl Stebbins. I'm not that kind. Besides, you're going to have to help with the dishes and talk me out of painting my flat white. Fair trade for a mate.

	You know how it is, especially us so close to the Minister. We're prime targets. I don't know, it just feels different lately. The bombing didn't help. Rom, I think you are. You just like hiding it for some reason. I'll wash dishes, sure. But why are you wanting to paint your flat white? It'll look like a mental institution or something.
