"You know I'm a masochist, don't you?" she queried with a light chuckle before popping the bite in her mouth.
It was spicy, so she could understand Vic's reaction to it. It wasn't so bad though, not when you had a taste for fire. "You should try my Uncle's pickled chilies," she teased. A part of her wondered if the man still made them... the possibility seemed slim.
Judging by the audible reaction of another woman, the spice wasn't going down very well. Pansies. "Adjusting," she replied with a shrug, "but otherwise, quite well." Especially well now that she didn't have to avoid those Healers. Not that having private lunches in her office with the Senior Undersecretary was all that bad, it wasn't. "Youaa?" He said around that dang hot pastry in his mouth, watching Emily with wide eyes as she popped one into her mouth too, just like that. Wow. Wowww, Gavin sure had a challenge with his boss-- well, more difficult challenge than Vic had assumed. "Pickled chillies? I think we could use some in interrogation processes." He said sarcastically, drowning another glass of water and shooting daggers at whoever almost took it from him.
"Adjusting to what?" He asked, not sure if he caught what she exactly meant by that. Was there something going out with her that he wasn't aware of? He was ready to feel all kind of lame and guilty at that. Unless it was something personal, then... well, Emily didn't do personal unless she took pity on you and telling you what you wanted. Maybe he should start with the personal talk? That could help. "I have a question for you, actually." He stopped pouring things onto his plate for a minute and turned to lean his butt on the table. "Something that is not related to work." He added, a little shyly. |
