"You would, I suppose," I say, inclining my head. "Because if you think what you're doing is stupid and illogical but do it anyway.... Well, you're probably normal, never mind."

"You know," He says walking down the aisle, cooing at the other birds,"You, m'dear should really be less judging of people."

"A bit," He nods,"Your quick to put other people down, even if you are joking. Perhaps to make up for your low self essteem?"

"You do psychoanalyze," I mutter, shifting my shoulders uncomfortably. "I don't know, maybe a little. If I don't know what to say I make a joke. And I've noticed that people find insults amusing, so...." I shrug. "That and I'm mildly cynical, I guess."

"Not all the time, insults are used to put people down. Not something you want in a friend you know." He replies.

I snort lightly. "It's actually helped me to make friends a few times... but I suppose I see your point."
He's right, you little idiot. How hurtful have you been to people you barely even know? my bitter voice asks sharply, turning up the guilt.

I wince slightly, reminded of the whole Logan/Chris situation, and fix him with a mild glare. "Friends in those particular cases, thank you," I say frostily, knowing perfectly well that he can't possibly know what sort of nerve he struck.

Jack holds his hands up in a gesture of surrender before turning his attention back to the owls.
"Alright. Whatever you say."

I turn and stare at a display of cages, not really seeing them.
"Sorry," I say after a moment. "You just hit a nerve, talking about... confusing friends and enemies." I shrug. "I didn't mean to snap at you."

"Sorry, word loses it meaning in times like these," He says, putting his hands behind his back walking down the aisle of cages.
"It's fine, no need to worry about it. I just sometimes forget to leave my work at work."

I shrug, moving over to look at a particularly small snowy owl. "It's fine. I probably should be psychoanalyzed." I smile slightly, half at him and half at the owl as I put my fingers to the bars, careful not to actually stick them in there.

Find me a way to get Rose out of that marriage and you've got a deal.

"Riiiiight," I laugh, nodding. "Using my vast network of connections in the Department of Magical Games and Sports...." I shake my head. "Sorry. Could you use a secretary-type person? I'm very organized."

I nod, then smile slightly. "In that case... I should probably be concerned by how many conversations I have that appear to be serious but aren't... and okay then. You have an office sort of place or...?"
