Timing was everything, it seemed. At least, the sound of Delphine’s voice from behind her kept Amethyst from having to wonder if she was going to have to go find her. Also meaning the poor man would have to babysit for the few seconds it likely would have taken her to find the senior undersecretary, since she was hardly about to carry Julia around for a quick trip through the office. She doubted he wanted to be left with the baby, too, given the strange look on his face, as if he had never seen a baby before. It wasn’t as if this was the first time she’d had Julia at her desk with her, either, although now she was obviously older. A year in July, anyhow.

She’d nodded at the awkward explanation, though, as well as mentally noted the man’s name as more introductions had happened. A memo might explain Delphine’s appearance as well, and the other woman’s interjection saved her from having to explain Julia’s presence. “Of course,” she had said instead, more in relation to Delphine’s inquiry toward her wellbeing. “Julia was just acting fussy earlier, so I didn’t want to leave her with daycare…” The explanation had trailed off as her superior had literally started cooing over her daughter. At the very least, she would have been amused had Gregory happened to stop in like he occasionally had tried to, considering she knew he would have been ecstatic over all the compliments.

As it was, the odd emphasis over her name had gotten her notice, although her attention was torn between finding out the reason for that and making sure all the cooing wasn’t bothering her baby. She had noticed the foam ball, however, out of her peripheral vision. Oh, of course. She imagined she was lucky it had taken this long to get to her, considering this was hardly the first chance anyone had to get to her. She imagined it was at least something to be thankful over that it had only collided with the side of her head gently, before falling to the floor where she’d helpfully bent down to pick it up before handing it back to William. “No harm done,” she’d replied softly to his apology. Delphine had blocked it from hitting Julia, after all. “Nice to meet you, by the by.” However awkward it had turned due to the game.

“Julia,” she said again, as he’d asked for her daughter’s name, before she’d turned back to Delphine. “It’s too bad Jemma’s in school. I’m sure she would have enjoyed a play date as well,” she said with a smile. No offense taken to whatever involvement she’d had with the elimination either.
