Phyri was not offended by the lack of enthusiasm itself – but her eyes narrowed slightly all the same. “Why?” She asked archly, of his question, though it hadn’t stopped her from unrolling her next copy, ready to paste up. She shot him an innocent look in challenge. “Did you want to arrest the protester, or applaud them?”
(She had no notion that he was an auror, of course, but on the other hand there was nothing wrong with this kind of legal protest, so it was not as if there was anything he could do but grumble if he did not like it – still, before Porphyria owned up to the boycott she wanted to know how much of a confrontation this was going to be.)
