What's this? Why'd you call it- no, Sirius, stop I-

[ there's a pause, sounds of a struggle and what could probably pass as a triumphant laugh. ]

Right! Name's James Potter. 'pparently you can leave things here for me to read later? Brilliant.
Uh, what am I even supposed to say?

Wait, no, this is my bloody-

[ and the feed is cut off. blame sirius. ]

'ey beautiful.

[ and james is just going to open this up on his end with a sleepy smile. ]

Not unless I'm dreaming of you. [ charm yes. but then it breaks when he yawns, leaning back against the pillows and things he has piled into the corner of his room. ] Have you?

[O-oh, he's being charming and kind and she's too tired to think that's anything but adorable. Juliana, for her part, is trying to sleep, but failing. She's laying on her stomach on her bed and has her feet kicked up behind her. It moves her body a bit from side to side as she kicks them idly with nervous energy.]

Not enough. I worked myself into a bit of a state and caught a few minutes. Just enough to be antsy!

[HRMMMM.] Did you really dream of me?

[ he almost laughs a little at how obviously antsy she really is. he's at the stage of tired where he doesn't want to move much, but his eyes can't really stay closed for long, leaving him in a somewhat limbo-esque frame of mind. ]

How'd you manage the few minutes? At this point I'd try almost anything.

[ but then he just sort of grins, shrugging as nonchalantly as he can. ]

Possibly. If I'm asleep right now I would be.

[She's all too familiar with that feeling. Fortunately for her, she burns out quickly and gets so little sleep as it is. She'll manage something... Just passing out from time to time.]

I just dropped. I got upset and nearly threw myself into a fit, then I woke up a little while later.

[Flattery will get him everywhere.] You're so sweet. Do you talk like that to everyone?

So you're saying I should throw a fit?

[ his eyebrows shoot up at that, but holding back the smile isn't even worth trying so he doesn't. ]

Just the beautiful ones.

No, no! But... if you wear yourself out, it helps. It helped me. I kept going until I just could not do so any longer.

[Kicking her feet some more. Flattery. It's the best thing ever. Nobody flattered her when she was an AI not really, not enough.]

You know, I picked this appearance. All on my own.

Wear myself out? But then I've got to find something to wear myself out with.

[ he can keep this going all night, honestly. flattery is one of his favorite things. ]

You did? [ that's an interesting idea. ] What made you pick that one?

Perhaps you could go for a run? Have a spirited and passionate conversation?

[It's becoming one of her favorite things. I mean she liked it as an AI, but it was mostly just given when people wanted something.]

I think I look a little like the person whose brain I was cloned from, but mostly I wanted to reflect my intended purpose. Bright and vibrant, but a seriousness and an almost regal quality that commands respect.

Yes but I'd need energy for those.

[ he might be whining just a little bit there, but really. he's at that point of tired that he'll do just about anything, but doesn't have the energy to move to do it. oh woe is james. ]

Think you did a good job with it, honestly. Cloned [ whatever that word means ] person or no, the vibrant and regal and respectful, definitely.

[She could practically roll over and die happy right now, but that's a momentary thought, and she just smiles warmly.]

Thank you. And you, presumably being human, look like your parents.

Yeah...I've heard I look more like me mum than me dad, but they're both pretty old so it's hard to tell.

[ james just shrugs, running his hand through his hair. just a tick, at this point. ]

But they must've been handsome when they were younger.

[Such humility. Yes, she's just going to take him under her wig and take very good care of him should he ever need anything. Someone else to look out for.]

Dad was, so my mum says. Honestly, he must have had to be to snatch her.

[ momma's boy, can you tell. but really, james loves talking about his parents. this is a very dangerous road they're heading down. ]

Well. You are indeed a handsome young man, and I approve of you greatly. Kudos to your parents.

Handsome. [ someone's more than just a little pleased with that description. ] If they were here, 'm sure they'd thank you.

Wherever they are, oh, I'm sure they know. [She should probably stop pseudo-flirting, but it's so much fun...]

You're probably very popular.

[ there's no need to stop! ]

I wouldn't say very. [ actually, no. he would. whoops. ] But I like people. Like knowing people. Can't really help wanting to, you know?
