"Are we embarrassing you so badly?" Abi asked, noticing how red Wynne was. "It's really just talk. Mostly." Abi would very much like to find a man worth her time, but despite all the eye candy at the Hogwarts staff table, there were few real options. Damien was not an option for her. He was a grown man now, but she still saw him as a student. Merrick probably wasn't an option either, which left Connor and Skylar. Skylar was the most interesting.

"Somehow, I get the feeling it's not really just talk," Aubergine said. She pulled her nearly forgotten broom from her shoulder and let it rest against a wall. Only school girls blushed so badly from crushes or a little embarrassment when it came to guys. "Am I right, Wynne?"

Wynne took a deep breath and let it out in a rush of a laugh, avoiding the eyes of the other two women. She couldn't help but smile as her hair fell across her eyes. "I did say he has quite a number of tattoos," she said. That was close enough, wasn't it? Saying it outright was something she didn't quite want to say, especially in front of two she barely knew.

Abi's hand shot up to cover an audible gasp. Of all the things she'd imagined, that hadn't been one of them. She'd truly thought that Wynne was enough of an innocent to be embarrassed by the conversation. "You... and Skylar?" Abi asked, scandalized. "Was he good?" She gasped again, this time at her own boldness.

Aubergine laughed lightly and nodded. "The way she's blushing? He was good." In her mind, the question was is it okay if we have a go, too?, but she refrained from piling on the questions so soon. She had to admit she was impressed. Wynne didn't seem the type to go for the body modded bad boy style.

"With no comparison I can't very well give you a good answer, can I?" Wynne asked, risking a glance at the two women. "Please keep it quiet, I haven't spoken to anyone about it." In fact, she'd been pointedly avoiding any conversation that involved the man. She had yet to decide just how she felt about what had happened, anyway.

Abi nodded and made a motion as though locking her lips and tucking away the key. Wynne had slept with Skylar! And only Skylar? "If you've ever had an o~ then you'd know it. If he left you disappointed, he's not worth it. If you o~d..." She kept her voice low. "He's really the only one?" she asked.

"I...yes," Wynne said, nodding. "He came by once with Ember and we kissed. The next time I saw him he acted like a complete and utter pig, but things happened and...well, things happened." And it had been far from a disappointment. "I've never done something so unladylike in all my life." To borrow the healer's earlier term.

"Well, sometimes being unladylike is the most fun!" Abigail said. A complete and utter pig. "He was acting so badly and things happened? Well, sometimes angry sex can be really good! Emotions are high, adrenaline is rushing..." She seemed to remember herself then and cleared her throat lightly. "Perhaps Aubergine is right and I should... find some company in London," she said primly.

Aubergine shook her head in amazement and chuckled again. "Forget that, maybe you two just need to share the guy," she said. "Sounds like you like the same kinds of things. Full of surprises, you are." Now she really wanted to meet this Skylar guy, too. "I'm going to have to take you two out for drinks, see what pops out."

"I couldn't! I have the children to look after," Wynne said, shaking her head. "I mean, I do get some time off, but..." She'd never gone out for drinks, either. Maybe she should have stayed home, after all, but she had to admit it was interesting talking to the pair. Not that she knew what to think of the share the guy comment.

"I'm far too busy in the Hospital Wing," Abi said, hardly aware that her reason sounded quite a bit like Wynne's excuse. "I've got research to work on for St. Mungo's and a pregnant student who needs watching!" And she was just going to ignore Aubergine's suggestion to share. That sounded even naughtier than the woman had likely meant it.

"Excuses," Aubergine said. "You can always spare a night to go out and relax a little. Wynne, Dare said he and Michael party, I'm sure they would understand if you wanted an evening off. And research and pregnant students can handle a few hours' pause." Pregnant student? It really was a drama-filled school.

"I have some time today, but I couldn't. Dare and Michael usually go out at least once over the weekend." Then the two stayed locked away in their bedroom the next day, only coming out well into the afternoon or later. It still felt like an excuse.

Abi debated saying no, but she'd been caught up in herself for far too long. "I'll go," she decided. "And Wynne, if you have time, you should come too. It's been ages since I've had girlfriends, and as long as we drink responsibly, we have nothing to worry about." Not that drinking responsibly was any fun. And not that she really intended to do nothing but sip a wine cooler and call it done.
