Tam Time Episode Two: The Autograph Signing (Riel, Open)

[Deleted]

Ronny Tam had a soft spot for the Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley. He bought his first Quidditch gear there that helped later launch him into stardom at a Pro Quidditch Player. So, when he and Riel Mira De Jour were asked to come there and do an Autograph signing for their fans, he couldn't say no on his part. He usually got paid for such gigs, but in this case, he would have done it for free. With a crowd of anxious students and adults waiting, he entered and basked in their applause. He then said the thing they all waited to hear... his special catchphrase.....

"Everybody, I think you know what time it is...... it's Tam Time!" he said. There was then an explosion of cheers again. Ronny made his way down to his table and prepared to greet everyone in the very long line in front of him. He knew Riel would be joining him shortly. He would try not to say the same things over and over, as he liked to give each fan a different experience. People could say what they wanted about Ronny's ego, but he did love and appreciate his fans. He recognized that it wasn't just his talent on the Pitch that made him. The fans did as well.

Riel rushed down the streets of Diagon Alley readjusting her ponytail every so often due to the amount of wind that was going through it. How in the world could she be late to her own autograph signing? It was summer so having plans wasn't much of an excuse. She hadn't just come from practice, it was a weekend, no one really practiced on weekends unless it was right before a big game. So why was she late? Believe it or not, Daydreaming.

Yes ever so collected Riel Mira de Jour was daydreaming. Her thoughts lately had been filled with the blooming, forbidden relationship she seemed to be getting into with Roarke. Not only that but thoughts of the discovery of France being her father raced hurriedly through her mind. She imagined the day when Roarke would ask for her hand in marriage, France escorting her down the isle, the three of them having a family vacation with Riel and Roarke's little ones running along the beach front of her house...

Riel had to shake herself back to reality again. She had slowed down to a brisk walk and as she looked at her watch noticed another minute had passed by.

Shoot! Now i'm really late."

As she picked her pace back up, she berated herself about how foolish she was for thinking such things. Marriage? To Roarke? France? He would never be like that to her no matter how much she wanted him to. For France, He wasn't Mom and he wouldn't be as close to her as she was to her mother. As for Roarke, She knew anything past teammate right now would ruin both their careers and why in the world would Roa truly look at her as more then a teammate. All these facts depressed her. But she couldn't be depressed right now. Her fans were waiting.

As she bursted through the door, though, she didn't have to worry about stampeding fans. Everyone's eyes were on Ronny Tam, her eccentric teammate. She sighed as she walked over to her seat next to him.

"Hello everyone! Riel de Jour here! I look forward to meeting everyone!"

A short 'woo' sounded through the store as she sat down, taking off her scarf. She looked over at Ronny.

"How are you today, mate?"

Ronny could help but smirk and laugh when Riel came rushing in. She seemed so distracted as of late, and Ronny had developed a good idea as to why.

"Oh I'm doing well, love," said Ronny. "Seems you're a bit out of sorts today. Last game exhaust you... or did something else?" Ronny wasn't being mean to Riel. He liked the lady a lot. She was a good friend and teammate. Still, he loved to kid her around.

Ronny looked at the clock. They actually had another moment before the line began to move, so Riel wasn't completely late. As the seconds ticked down, Ronny looked back at her.

"Maybe you can tell me why you're late over a few drinks later?" he said. "I'll order us some Quentin Black's. The stuff's like truth serum."

The hour then hit and the fans began coming up for autographs. As Ronny always did, he treated each fan as a human being and not the next number in line. He talked with them, posed with them, hugged the kids, and let the ladies kiss him on the cheeks. The fans help make him, and he would damn sure give them what they wanted in return.
