Closed Clair de lune PV Lloyd Thomas

"My brother's fine. There's worse out there," George insisted. He probably deserved worse, although he could do without all the tormenting he got when he got home over the holidays. Christmas was around the corner, and he knew that Sam would find some way to ruin at least part of his time at home. At least none of the old tricks would work. He kept his trunk locked up too tight to have anything too important stolen. "I don't think I'll end up transferring to Beauxbatons, but I'll keep you in mind if I do. Or if we get to visit, though it seems like Hogwarts and London are the top spots for sport in Europe. Beats me as to why. We haven't even got good food."

There was tea and charming landmarks, he guessed, and the legacy of Hogwarts outweighed its more recent embarrassments. George listened as Lloyd brought up Eloise - oh my, the sweet French boy was a romantic as well. How charming! Falling in love with your best friend was a bit played out, he thought, although he had never considered it much. His own options for best friends weren't the most date-able sort.

"I mean if you only asked her as friends, I don't know how much that means. Did she say it was as friends?" George asked, leaning in as he suddenly became quite invested on what Lloyd thought about the distinction between a friendly date to the ball and a date date to the ball. "She might not know you like her. You should just tell her and get it from her straight, or someone else might get to her first, you know. I'm sure she'd say yes, you seem like a charming enough sort." But that may just have been how intriguingly French he was.

there is probably worse out there... that doesn't make it ok! Lloyd sighed, trying to decide weather to argue that that was not ok, or not. As he sighed he muttered "oh why are people like this" in French, deciding not to argue. "just because there are worse people out there does not make his actions ok -" lloyd said, having to make one more point before he dropped the topic of George's brother.
George mentioned that the food at Hogwarts or England in general maybe were not the best. Lloyd was not sure what to say here - he did not have any particular complaints against the food, but it honestly was not the best either.
"the food could be better, that's true but its not bad" lloyd said, shrugging a tad. "i think you just have to find what food you like, and to stick with that. i had..... fish and chips i believe, that was quite tasty. and it came with...... smushed peas? oh Mushy peas! that was... a unique combination, but i kinda liked it!"
Lloyd then proceeded to talk about eloise. it was quite clear that he was a romantic, he did love Eloise, but he did not realize - those feelings were not exactly reciprocated. When he and Eloise did get together a little later, their relationship only lasted a few months until Eloise broke up with him, stating that she had never felt like he had, but did not know how to tell him. But when she was leaving, she had to tell him before she was gone. This would not happen for months though, and currently Lloyd had heart eyes for his love, Eloise.
"i cannot remember exactly what she said.... but i think she mentioned going as more than friends, so..... i am not sure what she meant by that, my love did"
Lloyd listened. " i think i will... i do love her, and... i just don't want to mess this up. and what do i say? do i try and prepare something to say, or just... let the words flow i guess?"
Lloyd was trying to build himself up to convince himself to do this. He eventually would ask her, and all would go well.
