It reminded her so much of her hometown that she couldn't help sniffing juuust a bit. Whaaaa?! "I'm sorry - it's no problem. I can help." She set her coffee down and ran a hand through her jet-black hair before glancing around.
Erm.
She knew what she was doing. Totally totally.
"Let me just - " paperwork. Right. "Your name, then, to start. And we can go from there." It was weird to do a request with the person...like, right in front of you. Normally these requests came in on paper and they could handle them without the scrutiny. Jessica gestured for him to follow her to a line of filing cabinets, her wand ready to procure his papers. Why was she sniffing. Did she have a cold? He blinked his blue eyes a few times and patted himself down looking for a hanky. Only he didn’t have one, which was probably a good thing. Knowing his luck, it would have even more of the potion on it. He was smelling tilled earth. Funny there was no reason to smell that sent here. Adam gave his head a shake. If he didn’t know better, he’d have believed he was back in the Love Chamber working with the Love Potions down there. Or…wrapped up in a blanket with – It took him a moment to think of Zita and not the lady he was talking with; she didn’t smell like strawberries and lavender…the lady smelled like coffee and vanilla and cut grass….” Mein vhat – oh oh… Ah-dam Ger-ulf.”
Focus on the coffee smell. Adam didn’t like coffee. Not after he had been taken over by Reil and drank enough coffee in a week to put a rocket into space. The smell cleared his foggy brain a little. ” Maybe I schould bringkt ze paperwork…” he got distracted again. Was that a happy goofy smile forming on his face as he thought about hot chocolate and vanilla cookies and snuggling by the fire? It sure was!
