❀ Three ❀

[Lily is huddled up with a pillow pressed to her chest. No, it's not moving. She has put the girls on display far too much as of late.]

I've learned something. Corsets are torture devices.

Do you know I have bruises in places I don't even want to name?

So yes. Avoid them at all costs. If you want to be skinny and busty, wear the right colors and make sure your clothing fits you appropriately.

[Her face is pressed against the top of the pillow. Only her dark red hair and bright eyes can be seen now.]

[Private to James and Sirius.]

Talk to me? I'm sorry I was mean. I guess I was a spoiled wench.

[She is trying to lighten the mood. There's no reason to talk about prisons and regrets.]

If you want, you can give me an annoying parrot for my birthday.

[Private to Severus Snape.]

How are you settling in?

[therecipe]

At least you didn't keep taking yours off.

[myloveisalwayshere]

You have my utmost sympathy.

[therecipe]

Thank you. You have mine for your poor crushed ribs. That might still be worse.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I'm not sure at the moment. Either way, we were on display.

[Private]

[watersacrificed]

And somehow I still found a way to hide a weapon or two in that damn thing.

[Private]

[myloveisalwayshere]

How did you manage that?

Re: [Private]

[watersacrificed]

Honestly? I have no idea and I'd rather not try to remember.

[sunflowersister]

Oh goodness, it sounds like yours might have been on wrong, dear...

[myloveisalwayshere]

You think? It was my first time.

Merlin, I hope I had it on wrong.

[sunflowersister]

Definitely, they're usually quite comfortable! Believe me, I wore stays for hundreds of years.

Though I suppose the island wasn't really concerned about doing things properly so much as doing things extravagantly...

[icanbuyafez]

Really? I didn't think they were too bad! Then again, I was a bit preoccupied at the time. And I suppose it was a bit... tight.

It made for a wonderful addition to my disguise, though! Except... well, King Henry did find me anyway.

[myloveisalwayshere]

[Wait... He wore a corset?

Well that's just silly.]

Is it...a hobby of yours to wear one? And I must remind you that you lack certain assets that truly make corsets confining.

[Boobs.]

King Henry? You mean of England?

Wait oops this should be audio

[icanbuyafez]

Oh, no, no, that was just the once. Wait, twice! [Small pause.] No more than five times. And that was over several hundred years.

Really? What would those be? [Yep, not actually putting that one together.]

Yep! Lovely chap, though a bit of a temper. Honestly, I did say sorry!

[librariansheart]

Oh dear. I wonder if you had yours tied too tightly. But then mine was an older style, I think... Maybe it was a kinder variety. If you like, I have some medicine that ought to help with the pain and bruising. I'd be happy to give you some!

[video]

[myloveisalwayshere]

It's entirely possible I had it on too tight. I was trying to accentuate certain assets. [And she'll leave it at that. Her pink cheeks probably tell the whole story.] I'd really appreciate that.

[librariansheart]

[Going by the answering pink in Sheska's ears, it's probably a safe bet to guess that she knows what Lily means, but she's polite enough not to comment.]

I'll bring it right over, if you like! Did the corset break the skin at all? I've some ointment for that, but otherwise I think if you put some ice on the bruises, that should maybe help lessen that, and the medication should help bring the swelling and pain down a little.

[braveatheart]

You were a bit of a spoiled wench.

[But James found it simply hilarious in retrospect, if the broad grin on his face is anything to go by.]

You know I always found you attractive even when you were insulting me.

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

In fact, he always finds you attractive especially when you were insulting him.

[Because he's the best wing-man.]

[Video]

[braveatheart]

Sssh! [He flaps one hand urgently. As if everyone didn't already know this as it was.]

You're not helping.

[Video]

[myloveisalwayshere]

I...can't deny that. I definitely had an attitude.

[She winces and bites her lip. James, this is embarrassing. Don't grin like that. She is going to hide.]

Did I marry a masochist?

[Video]

[braveatheart]

[So much grinning over here.]

Would you like to find out?

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

Try spanking. He likes the paddle. Too much of a pussy for the whip.

[alwaysimpure]

I don't know, Lily, once we got to throwing parrots at each other it didn't feel that different from usual.

[Yes, let's pretend nothing ever happened, much healthier!]

audio

[myloveisalwayshere]

Poor birds. I'm shocked you didn't throw me overboard. [She would have thrown herself overboard.] Are we okay?

audio

[alwaysimpure]

You weren't that bad, love. Of course we are, you just showed why you did end up marrying a marauder.

Also, in the interest of honesty, it did help that you wore that corset.
