"Were you a Ravenclaw?" she finally said, giving Ms. Tanner a sort of appraising look just to see if she recognized her, then slowly grinned. She did love her Ravenclaws, even the ones she didn't actually know.. well, most of them. The woman looked to be about her age, though she could be a bit younger, but unfortunately she did not recognize her from school.

And this woman had heard of her. Mariel had to admit that she was slightly surprised, but pleasantly so. She wasn't sure there could be a better way to know her and her grin brightened considerably. "You heard about that?" People were actually talking about her after she was gone? She knew her name was on that trophy but she was rather elated that Ravenclaws would still know about that. Though she had heard they hadn't won the cup in some time since her departure. "Yes, we won the cup that year. It was an amazing game, my first time as Seeker," she said, reminiscing. "Though Keeper was always my favorite. That was what I played professionally, you know. But yes, I caught the winning snitch that secured the trophy for Ravenclaw." What an amazing team they had back then. Led by the fierce and brilliant Willow Kovac, Mariel wondered what she was up to now that she was retired from the Kestrals.

Oh, what were they talking about? Mariel could honestly talk about Quidditch all day but they weren't exactly there for that. Well, in a sense, but not necessarily to talk about her career. No, they had something of a meeting even if it wasn't official or formal. But.. elsewhere? Mariel paused, looking at Ms. Tanner curiously. "I do apologize. My conference room is still in a shambles." She would understand, hopefully. Most of the Ministry was in a state though this area seemed to be less affected than what she had seen of the others. But maybe that wasn't what the woman had meant? She looked from her pleading expression to glance at the trio not far from them. "Oh.. they're not troubling me.." She could do her work unaffected. She was professional. Though maybe that wasn't it with the look she was giving her. "Unless.. that's bothersome to you? We can go elsewhere.." She had immediately taken a liking to this woman and certainly wouldn't want her to feel uncomfortable.
Furmgoat flew into the room, staying near the ceiling as his wings flapped lopsidedly. Circling for a few minutes, he spotted the recipient of this package and made to land. He flapped his wings slower to come to a stop on top of the table in front of Mariel Morgan. He blinked his eyes twice before offering his leg to be untied.

Mariel,

Just wanted to send you something to brighten up your office. I'll see you tonight at home.

Love,
Jorge
