[ OT ] Writing Workshop # 23 : Natural Dialogue

It had a strange blue glow to it. He noticed this as he held up his fingers to the light, watching as the halo of blue around it disappeared and re-appeared as he pulled his hand away from the lamp. 
 
 Droplets of what seemed like infinite starlight, sparkling and shimmering, fell from his fingertips with each movement of his hand. The other one seemed to be dripping freely, almost like a faucet. 
 
 ``... I'm sorry, what did you say?'' He finally asked, turning back to the woman who was standing in front of him. 
 
 She seemed annoyed, rolling her eyes as she repeated her question, lips spreading into a forced smile. 
 
 `` When did this all start, sir?'' 
 `` This?'' 
 
 He gestured to his hand, wiggling his fingers and getting magical goop all over the woman's otherwise pristine office. He managed to hold back a smirk as her eye twitched. 
 
 `` Yes, that's what I meant.'' 
 `` Oh. Well, I've always had my powers. You should know that, it should be in your little registry or whatever it is.'' 
 
 The woman, who ran the Magical Registry, could n't hold herself back from rolling her eyes that time. 
 
 `` Sir. That's not what I meant.'' 
 
 He grinned at her and her eyebrows furrowed, lips drawing into a sneer. 
 
 `` I know, I know. Just fucking with you, Miss. Uh... my fingers started to... er... leak just last week.'' 
 
 Her pen scrawled across the page, though she did n't move from her spot. The woman nodded and the pen laid flat against her desk. 
 
 `` Okay, and why did n't you come to the registry the moment it happened?'' 
 
 He shrugged. 
 
 `` I did n't think it was that big of a deal.'' 
 
 His nonchalance seemed to annoy her further. She opened her mouth to speak but he cut her off, waving his still-dripping fingers at her. 
 
 `` Y'know, you seem to be pretty tense... and I hear that I have magic fingers, I'm sure I could help you out.'' 
 
 Suddenly, her wand was out and she was pointing it at him with a fire in her eyes. 
 
 `` Get the fuck out of my office!'' She yelled, her voice reaching levels loud enough to stop whatever conversations were happening outside of her office. 
 
 `` But what a-'' 
 `` Right now!'' 
 `` Ma'am, I th-'' 
 `` Before I kill you or call security. Get the fuck out!'' 
 
 He stood up and made for the door. 
 
 `` Damn, you need to calm the fuck down.'' 
 
 And he barely managed to get out before a spell was hitting the door, locking it firmly.
