Lex squeezed the life out of her, and Genevieve returned the favor. Favoritest little Gryffindor of all time, and that included Biter. Not Selina, though, since Selina was a big Gryffindor and not little. "I still want you to be safe. It sucks about Quidditch, but if one of you gets hurt... well, I'd lose my job. You don't want me to lose my job, do you? DO YOU, LEX?" She didn't. Of course not.
"Are you well?"
It never occured to her just how much she missed Vivi's hugs until she was giving her one again. It kinda made it hard to let go but after another moment or three she did. There was a small glance around just to make sure her kneazle was still close enough before turning her attention completely to Vivi again. The kneazle, she saw everyday, Vivi was a rarity.
"That's nonesense. We get hurt every year, it wouldn't be fair to have you lose your job over the inevitable." Seriously. She couldn't remember a term when things didn't go wrong...except maybe the election term but that one was dead boring.
"Does that mean you'll be checking in all term???? I mean don't get me wrong, Mo's done a good job of keeping me alive but you've got top shot training." And she was Vivi. Lex's face lit up at the possibility of having a run in with Vivi often during the term, like it used to be when the girl was still here--of course it wouldn't be the same because of her having duties but it was close enough!
She flopped down among the fallen leaves and waited for Vivi to do the same. There was no rush, yeah?
"I've been okay. Haven't royally screwed up as Prefect so there's something--Oh and I've gotten to teaching myself silent casting for hexes and curses. Figure I'll work my way up with them." Speaking of...and because after the trip to Peru she felt she was an avid explorer.
"When's the last time you saw Vickers? Does he remember he owes me an adventure?"
