And maybe what he really needed to do was tell Gabriel that. Before Romania.

"I got married earlier this summer," he said, hoping to provide some context. "We wanted to do it before my fieldwork, but that meant we really hadn't made any decisions about where we'd live after I was done." He turned to look at her as he thought about what to say next. "But what you said made me realize that it really doesn't matter if we end up in France or Britain or even some awful research station in the Arctic." Not if they're together, anyway.

Breakthrough, that was. That was it. He resolved to go back to Cairo that evening, Gabriel's writing groove be damned, and offer that if living in France meant that much to Gabe, then that's where'd they'd live.

Turning back to Lara, he looked apologetic. "Sorry, I just made this all about myself. But what you said helped me out."

Noticing others arriving in the park, he paused for a moment, wondering how he'd ended up in such a personal conversation with a stranger. Just a few minutes ago, they'd been hypothesizing over kneazle!teacup rampage in a cupboard.

"Is the job search in diplomacy promising?" he asked, trying to shift the conversation back to her.
Lara tilted her head at him and smiled at the new information. She wasn't he relationship kind of person, she was a flings kind of person but it she found it great when people her age were in love enough to commit to one person. "Congratulations," she grinned.

"I'm sue you'll figure it out, both of you," she nodded her head. She wasn't in love, nor was she married but she knew people who were would and it was like one person in two bodies figuring out each other's problems and making the other feel better. The blonde nodded more at his realization. That's exactly what she meant when she said it helped if there was someone fixed in one's life. "Exactly," She was happy that he reached such a conclusion.

She waved her hand dismissively, "No need to be. I like to talk," She certainly had to listen to an annoying boss's rants which she couldn't relate to, anyway. At least with this in one way or another she could understand.

Job search. Hmm. "There are many opportunities. But I'm gonna let you in on a little secret," she said whispering at the end of the sentence, "People in Diplomacy are drama queens so the trouble is finding ones I can tolerate enough to work with," she said with a small laugh.
