Even if she was still in the greenhouses fairly often, they were still indoors, and it was a big change from the last time she'd had a regular job, when most of her days had been spent traipsing through rainforest or studying the samples they had gathered. Living in a big city like London was wonderful and all, but she still missed living among nature.

She was actually surprised she hadn't been to this park sooner. She hadn't really explored the areas around the Ministry much, but when her old classmate Mariel had suggested a picnic in the park, Juniper had been thrilled. She didn't remember much about Mariel other than her being sprightly and pretty good at Quidditch, but the park meeting place itself made her glad she had reached out.

Juniper pursed her lips as she reached the pond and looked around. Where was Mariel exactly? Oh! There! On a bench! Juniper breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the other woman as she approached. Juniper had barely recognized her. "Hello, Mariel! You look well!"
Mariel allowed her eyes to wander to the edge of the pond as she waited and she watched a couple ducks looking for food a few moments. Her thoughts began to wander and she thought about tossing the crusts of her sandwiches to them. Once she was finished eating of course. She glanced into her bag. Maybe she could get started on her lunch as she was growing quite hungry. It wouldn't be rude if she didn't completely wait for Juniper to take a couple bites, would it?

But she didn't have to wait any longer anyway as she soon caught sight of a woman approaching her with a wave. Mariel gave her a smile and a nod in return as she neared. "Hi, Juniper! It's so good to see you." Not normally a huggy person, Mariel got up from the bench and gave her a hug anyway. She would make an exception for a former housemate and member of her team. "I hope you didn't mind the park," she added as she returned to her seat. "I think I remembered you to be a nature lover... plus I sort of needed to get out of the office." Or else she might have suggested the food court. But with all the planning she had done lately, it was nice to take a break from it and get out.
