Pet, Nuzzle, Bite. Mherrfph. | Paris, Roma, Home Again | Possible Lovegood
The elevator doors opened with their signature soft clattering sound. Laura looked cautiously out from where she stood inside, tin watering can clutched tightly in both hands. Her wandering blue eyes told her that it appeared the foyer was empty, so she proceeded to step out of the elevator. She braced herself so she wouldn't be alarmed when the cool female elevator voice announced tellingly that she was on Level Two.
Taking a deep breath, Laura loosened her grip on the watering can and scanned the room again, this time not for the Department's employees, but for the plants. She peered nervously for a moment at the framed portraits on the wall. Would they give her away? Roxanne had said to be discrete. Just quietly water the plants without drawing attention to herself and then get back to Level Four. And that's just what she was going to do.
Laura headed straight for the first plant in sight. She brandished her watering can at it, but she couldn't stop glancing every few seconds at the door down the corridor where she knew there must be some kind of receptionist or something. Someone who could give her away at any moment. Laura had no idea how the law enforcement department employees would react to finding her casually watering their lobby plants, but Roxanne hadn't painted a pretty picture in her head. Just pretend you're watering your garden, she thought to herself uneasily.
