And she hadn’t had to bring her kids and pretend she was a family friendly parent! Excellent.

Grabbing herself a black shirt, Eliora immediately looked for the coffee and was immediately annoyed to not find a coffee machine to hand. WHAT REAL ESTABLISHMENT DIDN’T HAVE A COFFEE MACHINE AVAILABLE INSTANTLY FOR HER WITH THE GOOD COFFEE?!?! HAD THEY NOT PUT THIS ON THE LIST OF NON-NEGOTIABLES WHEN FINDING A VENUE!??!?!!?!!!!! FuUUuuUUUUUUuuuuuuuume.

Quickly (and absolutely annoyed), Eliora stormed her way towards the corner that James was lacing his shoes up in and made sure he knew that she was annoyed by getting as close as humanly possible and whining. Attention please. ”Did you see a coffee machine? I didn’t. I don’t get paid enough for that.” New work husband. Pleaaaaaaaaaaase.

~~No he wasn't lost, Ollie. Just AVOIDING people. And FUN.~~

James had, for the record, heard Eliora storming over before she had reached him. He even had the audacity to casually look up, see her coming over, and STILL went right back to tying his shoes. And yes, he was wearing a subtle, amused sort of grin whilst doing so. Because THAT was funny.

He did turn to give her his full attention once she reached, but only after he had finished lacing up the ~~clown~~ shoes. Which meant he was only looking at her for the tail end of her whinging, though he did hear the whole thing. Loud and clear. She was quite good at that. Whinging. "You should complain to the minister, I'm sure he'd take the suggestion very seriously." Did he also want coffee? Yes. Absolutely. He had been a casual coffee drinker before, but Eliora had hooked him.

Consider this karma, Dodderidge.

He also knew she would be enjoying this bowling event just as much as he would be. And quite honestly? She would be the only reason why he'd stay. So he knew to keep his teasing at a tolerable medium. He, admittedly, needed her. He had also noticed the person who would be a new employee in his department this year. Léopold, was it? Yes. That one. Though honestly, James was quite happy in this corner talking to no one else, but Eliora. Perhaps he'd come out to play later and say a quick hello. Meeting his employees in an unprofessional capacity such as this one was entirely humiliating.
