SPOILER!!: Vic

She had been humouring him, and he in turn humoured her. They had a good system going. Emily arched her brows at Vic's comment. Her expression read something along the lines of, oh, reaalllyyyy?. "The dress does seem to be getting an awful lot of attention tonight," she noted casually, slight emphasis on dress. Emily didn't even begin to try to understand its appeal, she didn't choose it, she left it in the hands of the store clerk... who apparently, got it right.
Vic's sincere congratulations softened her smile somewhat, as she did appreciate it, especially seeing as he didn't seem to question it. It was convincing, he was convincing - though that was a part of his job description - to be convincing.
Department Head was a huuuuge step up, there was no denying it. Again, another career goal, blown out of the water. What next? Minister for Magic? "Thank you, though you should be surprised... I was," Leaning in toward Vic, Emily had whispered the last part. It wasn't something she wanted to broadcast to the rest of the Ministry. Nope, she was going to go about her business as if she expected to get it. After all, she'd had time to process things, get used to the idea, so she wasn't as surprised now as when the opportunity presented itself.

There was that brief moment in which they were just hanging. Just hanging. And she didn't mind it. Everyone was busy and chatting and the noise level - like a swarm of billywigs - was starting to numb her brain. No date? That warranted a smirk. Emily shook her head, "looks like I'm not the only one." Vic also seemed to be lacking an accomplice, a partner in crime.. he was a smart man. Dates, were more work and trouble than they were worth. Who had time for that?

"Not sure yet. All I see now is an Emily in a beautiful dress." Things were not going so formally around here, hopefully no one was listening in? Psht, someone must be in this crowded place. He paused for a moment before chuckling and scratching the back of his neck. "But, really, congratulations on your promotion. Why am I not surprised?" Very well deserved, although he was a bit concerned about her ambitious self. She better not stop here, she was still too young to consider this the final act of glory in her life. He wanted to give her a squeezing hug, could he do that? No? Alright. Maybe later. ... actually. He had a better idea, but you gotta bring it slowly with Ms. Browne, she wasn't just any lady in ~~red~~ a dress. "So, no date tonight, huh?" ANOTHER thing in common. Vic approved, she was focused on her career and look where that got her! Very good job. Down with draining social life! His sister would probably flick his head if she heard him.
