Jonah said that his promises were good, and Royal nodded. “They’re better than most people’s, that’s true.” Royal admitted. “But promises are just promises.” Royal had had more than one promise broken on him before, and he was sure that he had broken a few, too. He didn’t believe that Jonah would lie on purpose, but those sorts of things just happened. Jonah looked around the room after Royal’s question, and said that most of his co-workers were indeed there. “Nope. I was just curious as to how many questions you were going to have to answer.” Royal said with a bright laugh. He knew that he was going to have to answer his fair share of questions, too, but the Minister’s staff was far less nosy than Aurors in training, if Royal’s experience was anything to go by.

@royal <3 "That they are." Jonah would never lie to Royal, but he knew why the man was so guarded. He wished he wasn't, but Jonah would learn to live with it. He knew Royal had been through a lot, and that gave him even more of a reason to be understanding and patient with him. Jo would never risk his relationship with Royal, no matter what. The love he had for him as in explainable, but it was enough to keep him sane. "Probably quite a few, although, everyone knows I'm gay, so it won't be much of a shock. I think it'll be more of a shock that I'm with you."

Royal knew that it wasn’t a secret that Jonah was gay; that was part of a reason why their relationship had been able to start. If Jonah had been closeted, then Royal never would have tried with him. He did agree that it would probably be more of a shock to everyone that Jonah was dating the Junior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic. Royal didn’t like to tout his title around, but it was rather high up in the ranks of the Ministry. “If any of them give you trouble about it, just send them to me.” Royal said with a shrug. Jonah probably wouldn’t ever do anything of the sort, but Royal hated the idea of Jonah being harassed because of him.

@royal <3 Jonah chuckled, waving Royal off. "Oh you haven't got to worry about me any, Royal. I can take care of myself. And being bothered isn't anything I haven't experienced before." He grinned widely. Jonah had a lot of issues in his younger years at Hogwarts. Not many young boys were as open about themselves as Jonah had been, and even with his two older brothers behind him and loving him, there were always mean kids. "Are you enjoying yourself, letting loose?"

“I would hope that an Auror in training would be able to take care of himself.” Royal replied with a smirk. He had been a little disenchanted with the Auror program and the way it trained people, after his father had been assassinated, but eventually he had made peace with the fact that it wasn’t a lack of training from the Auror program that had allowed his father to die. It had just been…luck. Or bad luck. Jonah asked if he was enjoying himself in letting loose, and Royal scrunched his nose before shrugging at Jonah. “I’m not sure if I’m good at letting loose at all.” Royal informed Jonah. “The only person who’s actually managed to get me drunk for real – which is the only way I let loose – is Vic.” Royal shrugged again.

@royal <3 "Well of course I would! No need to doubt me, Roy." Jonah smirked at him and gave him a small wink. Jonah had trained quite a bit, and was almost in the process of becoming an actual Auror. He hoped within the next few weeks he'd get to that point. His eyebrows rose and he laughed. "Drunk? You don't have to be drunk to let loose, Royal! Come on, dance with me." Jonah grabbed him by the hand and brought him to the dance floor, his eyes bright with amusement. Jonah turned back around to face Royal and began jumping around to the beat of the music, singing along to the words.

“Doubt is the human condition.” Royal replied when Jonah said he didn’t need to doubt him. Doubt and unhappiness seemed to be the things that humans always fell back on if they didn’t know how to feel, which was a shame, in Royal’s opinion. The world would be a much better place if the default was happiness. “Maybe you don’t have to be drunk to let loose, but I do.” Royal replied with a smirk. There was a lot weighing on his shoulders at any given point, and alcohol was the only thing that ever seemed to take the weight off for an extended period of time. Royal had been careful with his consumption, though, especially seeing how Addie had fallen prey to Nerve-Calming potions. He didn’t want to end up an alcoholic.

@royal <3 Jonah could sense a bit of sadness of some sort coming from Royal, so he decided to let it be for now. He didn't want to make this night unhappy or sad, and he wanted to have fun with Royal. But sometimes he felt like no matter what he said or did, Royal made it something depressing. Jonah had to get him out of that stump, and hopefully he could soon. "Well, I don't like alcohol much, a few here and there. I've never been drunk, but you know me. I always let loose!" Jonah chuckled as he continued to dance.

“You’ve never been drunk? Ever?” Royal asked incredulously. “The next time I take a vacation, you and I are going to go to France together, and get drunk on French wine.” Which was the best way to get drunk, as far as Royal concerned. He was certain that French wine was the easiest thing to drink and not get a hangover from, though maybe he was biased. Besides, he already had a heap of good memories in France, and he wouldn’t mind adding a few more to the pile. Then again…France was his place with Vic. He was sure that she wouldn’t mind sharing, but it was weird, to bring his boyfriend to the same place he brought his best friend.

@royal <3 Jonah couldn't help but laugh. "No, never." It wasn't something he found he needed to do. Jonah was such a lively soul to begin with, and he didn't think he'd ever want to be someone he wasn't, which he had seen drinking could do to some people. Jonah was a cautious person, and drinking too much worried him. So Royal's next comment made him laugh even louder and he shook his head. "No no no. I will go and travel the world with you, but I probably won't be getting drunk on any type of wine."

Well, that was a surprise. Jonah loved fun, and Royal couldn’t see how he couldn’t have gotten drunk at least once, maybe on accident. Then again, he could have been one of the adherents to the whole ‘you don’t need to drink to have fun’ adage, which Royal could also see. Royal’s cheeks warmed a little at Jonah’s laugh, and he grinned at his boyfriend. “So does this mean you’ll get drunk on other kinds of liquor?” He asked innocently. When he and Jonah turned a corner of the dance floor, Royal noticed Adeline, standing on the side. He was going to need to find her when he was done dancing with Jonah so they could have a dance together. “Start making travel plans, Jo. Just keep them time flexible.” They could see the world, when they had more time.

@royal OOC: If you'd like to end you can <3 <3 Jonah looked at Royal and laughed. He'd probably think about it, but he doubted it would ever happen. "I will drink liquor, though getting drunk is still being contemplated." He was enjoying the dancing, and enjoying this time with his boyfriend. His own eyes were grazing the floor and all the people around them. Twirling a few more times, he noticed Royal's eyes on one of his sister's. Jonah squinted, trying to figure out which sister it was; he assumed Adeline, as Jonah worked with Abby on a daily basis and he was beginning to notice small differences in the two. "I will, I promise. And you, my darling, should go dance with your sister. I'm going to make a few rounds if that's alright."

Jonah said that he would drink other kinds of liquor, but getting drunk was still not a done deal. Royal shrugged – it was better than nothing. He was sure that eventually Jonah would choose. Maybe if his boyfriend was a Ravenclaw it would have been easier to get him to agree; that damn curiosity didn’t always stop just with books. Sadly, since Jo wasn’t a Ravenclaw, Royal couldn’t hold the fear of not knowing over him. Jonah appeared to have read his mind when it came to seeing his sister and wanting to dance with her, and Royal grinned even bigger. “I don’t mind you going to schmooze. I’ll see you later.” Royal said, pecking his boyfriend on his cheek before making his way through the crowd to see his sister.
