"It will, and don't worry... she can't hide forever..." it was only a matter of time before they caught her, or someone put an end to her. "She's psychotic... must be her dementia setting in after all those years."
As for getting away and talk of getting burned out, Emily grimaced, emitting a low grunt. She wouldn't get burned out, there was nothing to burn her out with. Work was work, and there was nothing else competing for her attention and time, ergo, with no competition, there would be no burning. "I'm used to it," she replied after a brief pause, "to the work... it's all I've ever known." So it wasn't a problem. If anything, it would be a problem preventing her from working all the time - it would drive her mad. Though Gavin was slowly changing that, with his bright suggestions and the whole distracting her thing.
And speaking of...
She still didn't see the appeal, or the sense in the whole situation. Not at all. "Yeah, you know, read a book? yoga? knitting? painting?" things that you could do without subjecting yourself to a loss of control of desires and potentially humiliating yourself as well as others. From her point of view, almost anything was better than Amortentia testing. Almost anything. The bit abouthaving fun with Gavin, irked her on the insidejealousy, though she continued to wear her easy smile. "I can only imagine," she mused at the thoughts.
It soon became clear that the rain was not the product of a poor joke, but rather, it was something else entirely. "I think... the climate controls are wonky..." and it wasn't the first thing to be going wrong in the Ministry. Circe. Emily cast a silent water repelling charm on herself and Vic, there was no need for them to soak to the bone in this, and she proceeded by conjuring her patronus, the silvery African wild dog bounding off for level four.
Well that was reassuring. She trusted Emily a lot actually, she wasn’t sure why, but Emily seemed like someone you could depend on no matter what. Victoria always felt she had a pretty good judge of character, but that instinct seemed to fail her with her own husband at the time, so she wasn’t to up on her own instincts since. “Well I hope she’s caught soon. I worry about the children. That is just an awful thing she does to them.” Hand to her belly she just shook her head. A chuckle escaped to her words, “How old is she really?” Maybe they said during the trial, but Victoria couldn’t remember at the moment.
“Well that just tells me we need to get you out more.” She grinned, honestly though everyone needed away from the job to have some fun. She wondered what her friend could be afraid of, fun? Socializing? Possibly meeting someone? Whatever it was she was going to try to help her relax more. “Just because it’s what you know doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have some fun away from it. I know lots of things and I know I need breaks from them all every once in awhile. Recharge and feel renewed.” She always felt better about her work after those small breaks as well. Maybe that was the problem in MLE all workaholics and they weren’t on top of things because they needed the break.
She didn’t seem to believe Vic didn’t mind the love potion, “Oh I know and I do those things, but this got me to meet other people at the ministry and honestly at the moment I wasn’t dating anyone so what did I have to lose. How was I supposed to know the man I would end up with would walk into my life right after I started the potion.” She shook her head laughing a bit, “It all worked out so no harm done.” Plus Gavin and her were still friends so it seemed successful in her eyes.
Looking up at the rain Victoria nodded, “They must be.” She watched Em cast the spell, “Thank you that’s all I need to look like a wet beached whale instead of just beached whale.” Just then she heard a voice and looked over, “Hi Alex, how are you doing.” Other than getting wet and dealing with the ceiling which if she remembered correctly might be right up her new department. “Any idea what’s going on?”
