Behind The Stage ((open))

First topic message reminder :

Kazamir is sitting at a picnic table a bit of a distance from the main haunted house, scattered around him is a wide array of crafting supplies, spooky leering jack-o-lanterns, yards of fake cobwebs, and a huge bowl of candy, just in case a kid wandered over-or one of his coworkers with a sweet tooth.

Despite his condition, Kazimir was actually a fan of Halloween, not because it gave him a chance to let him be 'his true self' (though he couldn't resist an ironic vampire costume). No, he enjoyed Halloween because of all the crafts. A ministry school event that gave him chance to craft anything he wanted, and he'd be reimbursed was a dream come true.

Tonight there'd be no need to flex his muscles as the head duelist of the Death Eaters, just simple charms, pranks, and candy. With a smile, he lifted his wand and levitated a ghost made of tulle and cotton in the air, enchanting it to glow as it drifted along toward the corn maze.

"Maybe so. I wonder what the average age of the faculty are. There are a few middle-aged men I've noticed."

Hmm, good point. "I'd take a chilly day over a heatwave anytime."

@Kazimir Volk

He smirked, "hunting for a well-settled middle aged man? You'd be better looking within the ministry if you want a husband."

"The cold air troubles my lungs, especially if I have to walk around instead of," he gestured at the table covered in assorted craft supplies, "sitting around drinking tea."

@Miriam Baptist

"I am not looking for a husband! I'm just hoping that they're not all fresh out of university..."

Kazimir got on her nerves sometimes with those comments.

"I thought you'd be used to the cold air being from Norway?"

@Kazimir Volk

Kazimir chuckles, he knew it wasn’t right to tease, but you had to forgive him for finding fun where he could. “Sorry, sorry, won’’t happen again.”

“Well, I’ve grown up in the north all my life, Veliky Novgorod, Durmstrang, now Norway, so in a way I am used to it, but when I was in school my health took a serious turn for the worse. I’ve been chronically ill all my life.”

If ‘turn for the worse’ meant ‘attacked by a werewolf’ and you considered lyncanthropy a chronic illness, none of what he said was a lie.

@“Miriam Baptist”

'Immunocompromised or something?"

That makes sense. The immune system would be more vulnerable in the cold.

@Kazimir Volk

He nodded, “something like that, also trouble breathing and intermittent migraines.” He rubbed his upper arms with a grimace. “Basically I’m poorly put together.”

@“Miriam Baptist”

Damn, she personally couldn't imagine living without a functioning immune system.

"I just hope you don't end up with dragon pox. Might kill you with the immune system you have."
