 Damian
Jane Howard had only been back at work for about a month, after being discharged from St. Mungo's during the winter holidays. In fact, she'd missed the Ministry opening event this year, but didn't feel one bit guilty about it. Still, she felt obligated now to attend this teambuilding exercise, or whatever it was, though she was not going to be competing in anything strenuous this time around.
Still feeling a bit tired and shaky on her feet, she'd decided it best to avoid apparating solo for a while and had arrived via portkey, softening her landing by floating down the last leg of her journey using her umbrella as a kind of parachute. Now she transfigured it into a walking cane, just in case she slipped on a patch of icy ground. It was topped by an eagle's head and looked rather stylish, if she did say so herself.
Jane was also not up for anything too exciting in the food department, so contented herself with a cup of miso soup, which felt nice and warm against her gloved hands. Pausing under a tree to survey the gathering, she noticed her co-worked, Damian Pendragon, looking out over the scene with a worried look on his face, and she decided to make her way over to him to let him know that she was feeling better, and to find out what had been going on in her long absence from work. |
