As she hugged Noelle, Olivia tried to understand what her friend must be going through. A brother that ran away from home.... Merlin. She couldn't imagine. Though unfortunately Olivia didn't even know about the other heavy weights that her poor friend was carrying on her shoulders. She wouldn't ask her friend directly about James.. It didn't seem appropriate in such a public place even if the music shop was much quieter than the streets of Diagon Alley.
Okay for now was an answer Vi could work with for now. But Noelle had asked about her. Okay... Umm.. Well. She nodded. "I'm good. I've been working at a cafe during the week and volunteering at a museum on weekends. I'm helping out a summer camp there," she smiled. Her brother had introduced her to a lady who had asked Olivia to come help them out with their art camp. It wasn't much work. It was simply making sure these kids were having fun and behaving well. "And just coming here on weekends... Visiting people like your wonderful self and Etta..." Her smile grew slightly more when she said the next comment though, "And seeing Ace too, of course.[/b]"
Noelle had mentioned the posters. So Olivia nodded several times over. "Of course, I'm just glad that the second version of them didn't have a printing error." Merlin knows that she had been MORTIFIED when the first set had come out and everything was just... incorrect. Whoops. "Any luck with people seeing him? My brother's best friend works at the MLE. We could try contacting him too." Ethan would know what to do. Heck. Maybe her brother and Ethan could start looking into cases. They were self-considered consulting detectives after all fashioning a likeness to the great Sherlock Holmes and sharp Dr. Watson.
Noelle was anything but a smooth talker. Just ask Noah. Now HE was a smooth talker. Maybe Noelle had channeled him. She giggled at vi and shook her head. "
I missed you!" She said with a small grin before looking around the music shop a moment to compose herself because emotions were threatening to spill over.
"
Oohhhh Etta is a sweetie. I like her. And Ace.." Noelle's smile grew when Vi's smile grew wider at the mention of him. '
Soooo? Do you have any news for me?' She asked with a little tilt of her head. She wanted to know all the details. It was a great distraction for her head right now.
"
The posters were lovely. Even if they had a mistake on them the first time, his picture was being sent out there. People really only look at the picture anyways." She really wished she could offer up some money as a reward for finding her brother, but being from a divorced family, where her dad was a muggle who owned a farm, that wasn't happening. "
Hopefully..... he comes home soon." The MLE was working on tracking him. "
I owled out a few people like Frankie and Leon who work in the YATi program. And theres some Diggory's in the auror division." aka, she was tracking down everyone she could to find her little brother.
"
Anyways...." She breathed and looked at her. "
Tell me this Ace news.'
Anything to distract her head.
