Though he didn't hit me like the boy to have social problems." Aside from being too curious for his own good. And too energetic. And too naive. Okay, the boy was NOT to be trusted in social life, he had a loooong way to go before he could avoid the baddies sometime literally speaking. He was quite hilarious, though, and not the sarcastic kind like his guardian but the REAL kind. Vic cracked up at that, "Oh he's such a dear, please don't demolish his heroic intentions in your usual forthright way. Ease him into it." That offer from the boy was golden, heh heh heh.
Oh oops, he MAY have been giving her the wrong impression, oops, it was the most dangerous territory to mess with your boss' love life. "Uh no, no, not at all. I'm glad to hear it." He busied himself with some more food, chewing and gulping down some water. "Well.. let's pretend that Gavin is a normal guy with best friends and such." Pretend being the keyword here, Emily wasn't going to get offended by that, was she? She KNEW what she was getting herself into. "And that one of his best friends is a girl. A real one, not one of those muggle robot crap." Just saying. "And that he... well, he spends quite some time with her... maybe sometimes he'll cancel on you even! Huh? How would that make you feel? What would you say to that?" Hmm? Tooooootally a hypothetical situation, totally. Now spill, Boss Lady.
Wonderful news, yeah, sure. "Well I prefer it to any news I might receive from his Head of House or the Deputy. So I won't complain." She could live with his weekly owls, at least they were consistent, she wasn't forgotten. "He'll have friends wherever he goes I'm sure, interestingly enough though, most of them seem to be of the female persuasion." Should she be worried about this? Shouldn't he be roughing it up with the boys instead? It wasn't to say girls couldn't be roughed with. But knowing he was friends with the Skeeter girl didn't give him any hope where that matter was concerned.
As for demolishing his heroic intentions... it was in his best interest to let go of the idea of being heroic. As Gavin had said so many times, heroes died, and that was a fate she didn't wish for the boy. He would die, over HER dead body. "I don't make promises I can't keep, Vic. You know that." Cue smirk.
Emily continued eating, forking in mouthfuls of food at intervals as Vic clarified the point he had tried to make regarding her relationship with Gavin. An interesting topic of conversation if ever she heard one. She was about to take another bite when Vic suggested she play make believe. Gavin, with friends...
Hahaaahaahaaaa! A silvery chuckle escaped her. Oh Vic, you're far too funny. Far TOOOO funny. "Uh huh, go on," she nodded, taking a moment to wipe a tear from the corner of her eye. Of course, the whole... make beleive/hypothetical scenario was an interesting one. Was this figure with the best friend him? Or January? ... Is this what it was about? Relationships were complicated.
...
After considering the scenario a moment, she came a convoluted conclusion. "It would depend on the relationship," she started. "I trust Gavin, so if he was a normal person, had a female best friend and wanted to spend time with her over me... I can't say I'd be happy about it. But as long as it didn't interfere in our own plans or day to day routine, I'd be fine with it." But, on the other hand... "However, if trust wasn't there... then I would question if the relationship was worth having. Trust is necessary, as is companionship.. and if neither exist then it's time to call it quits." Too honest an assessment? Maybe. A part of her hoped that wasn't the case for Vic - the man deserved to be happy and generally did seem so.
"But everyone is different, it's hard to say..." In other words, ignore everything and anything she had just said. "I'm the worst person to come to regarding relationship advice, did you know that?"
