"No matter what?" Alina raised an eyebrow. "I hope it doesn't go that far. And I sure hope this Elan fellow doesn't try to wind either of them up, it could end up with fireworks..." She paused and smiled. "Literally, if I know where Nia might have disappeared to when I lost the kids in Diagon Alley."
Alina held the flapjack in her hand as she waited for Edward to take a sip of his coffee. It felt so good to be talking to him again, though she knew if Theo happened to pop into her division there might be an awkward silence. She hoped he was over that now, it was a misunderstanding afterall. Just a rather big misunderstanding. She was just about to feed Edward another bite of flapjack, when she noticed another familiar face a few paces away.
"You alright Brian?" Alina asked, puzzled as to what brought him into her division. Afterall, he usually dealt with messages directly to Theo. She placed the flapjack in her hands on a tissue she pulled out from a box on a her desk, and handed it to Edward with her usual warm smile.
"Anything I can do to help? Just please don't say you need more stuff doing for the convention..."
Edward listened with great interest as she described both her new child free existence (at least while they were at school) and Nia and Theo's new friend. He hoped the poor boy wouldn't get caught up in sibling rivalry.
He was about to take a bite of the flapjack Alina held when she turned and spoke to someone. He turned and saw his friend Brian and smiled. He took the offered flapjack from her and stood and waved to his friend.
Edward looked to Alina. "No. Not interrupting. We were just having a chat between friends."
