SPOILER!!: Mariel

There was no hesitancy in claiming the seat the moment Mariel greeted her. "Thanks," it was appreciated, cue reciprocated smile. Placing her glass down, Emily proceeded by pulling out the seat and plopping herself on it, setting her pastry in front of her. It didn't look nearly as filling as Mariel's order, but it was the cinnamon she craved more than anything else.

Company was not something Emily usually did, no, she preferred to avoid people at all cost, but today she'd make an exception - especially for a fellow Head. Her neck of the woods? Emily sipped at her latte before shaking her head side to side in thought. "It could be worse," she concluded, "I mean, it's hardly ideal, but we're settling into a routine." Needless to say they didn't have a great deal to work on, which seemed to pose a problem for some. Honestly, did they not have any initiative when it came to adapting to situations out of the norm?

...

...

"How about yourself? ... not the best of timing for you, and, congratulations by the way." If she hadn't stepped into the role last year, she'd have had a much harder time wrangling her employees into line and setting them on task, so she could appreciate how Mariel must have been feeling, all things considered. Lockouts were exhausting in that sense. With any luck they'd make some headway with that soon enough.

As she delved into her tuna salad croissant, she allowed her green eyes to drift along the crowd, people-watching for a few minutes, before she looked up at the menu board again. She could read it well enough from where she was sitting and thought it might do her well to decide on what to take with her now as her time was rather limited. Red velvet cupcakes sounded good.. She was soon snapped out of her reverie by a voice speaking her name and she looked back at her table to see a familiar face. "Emily.." Mariel allowed a small smile to appear on her lips at the sight of the woman. "Please.." She gestured to the open spot across from her at the question, though she would have likely offered anyway. "I could certainly do with the company." Things had been rather tense at G&S lately and maybe a change in conversation would be helpful. She took a sip of her latte. "So, how are things in your neck of the woods.. or.. below the ground?" She was rather curious how the other departments were making out and that's where MLE was, right?
