The hand-holding hadn't escaped her line of sight either. "Um... since summer 2074?" Somewhere around there; she was still pretty new. "How long have you two been seeing each other?" she said, nodding subtly at their bonded hands. You know, just so she knew if they were really together or not.
Nothing major. Well that kind of stunk. She half wished she HAD interrupted something major ... might have blew some air into the place. "How did you two meet?" She was genuinely curious about that, in the least.

She couldn't really let go now could she? Because well it would look a little weird. Isobel kind of stared at their hands for a few moments. It did feel nice actually, even though it felt really awkward. Maybe she could like had some excuse, and like disappear now?
Ooh. About the same time that she had joined the ministry. That was pretty interesting. "Awesome..." She smiled at the woman. It was nice to meet some new people, especially ones that had been at the ministry near the same time as her. "I started about then too...." And wasn't regretting it at all. She had met her amazing Armen whilst working at the ministry, and even though they were fighting right now, she really didn't care.
Oh. Now she was asking about her and Armen's relationship. That was kind of awkward, but like she couldn't not answer her. "Since September last year..." Which was like 6 months, and she liked that. She smiled, glancing up at Armen, even though it felt really awkward right now.
The conversation took the obvious turn towards Isobel and his relationship--of course it would with the incredibly inappropriate hand-holding, he liked Izzy a lot but she didn't seem to be able to give him room to breath after their argument. Well...at least she was trying to make up for it. Kat wasn't helping either, he would have to have a word with her later for putting him in this situation. But he wasn't sure how she stood on the Cult, but relationship troubles were relationship troubles, definately a univeral topic if you take out the details of two rival groups: Cultists and Aurors.
He let Isobel do the explaining for now and slowly removed his hand from her's to scratch the top of his head and chuckled slightly as if the story of their meeting made him all giggly.
"Yeah about six months." He wasn't in the mood to discuss these matters at the moment with Kat but he wasn't about to embarrass Isobel either, he did still like her.

He shuddered and kept walking, making a mental note to keep an eye on her. If she was stupid enough to date the man, she was stupid enough to turn cult, and he couldn't have that in his department.
And it rankled that anyone he'd cared about could BE either of those kinds of stupid...
... and the Armen one more so than the cult one, Armen Recard was a tosspot and a certified idiot.
Van disappeared into the security office and took the direct floo to his level, so that he wouldn't end up having to share a lift with the guy...
... or fisticuffs might ensue. It was just that kind of morning.
Over Kat's head Armen caught site of a familiar man striding through the crowd, passing near them and continuing on towards the direct floor floos. Tut tut...Armen needed to be reminded to monitor the Level 2 one more closely, he had wanted it to be programmed into booting Bole into a home or cottage out in Surrey whenever he tried to use it.
He wondered if he had heard about his and Isobel's argument? The Department Head knew that Evander had him under the Cultists but wasn't worried. He wouldn't try anything, he just like to make threats hidden behind his 'army' of Aurors.
