 Hiss!Roar!Growl!Caw! | Hermione's Double | The Little Three | Alecate
"Yeah, it is. It's hard on him, too. Cale, I mean. I keep telling them that they're both far too young to be that attachced, but who am I to say anything? Alexander and I married two months out of Hogwarts, and Anna's doing about the same," she said, shrugging a little. She narrowed her eyes in confusion at Madison's gasp, figuring that just maybe something she'd said had sparked a memory or two of Madison's. She said nothing else of Anna and Cale's situation, though. She didn't want to upset Madison any further.
Bella nodded as Madison told what she knew of the Conference. She jotted down notes for her to read up on later. Why in Merlin's name had no one informed her of all this when she was hired? Did they honestly expect her to go from ice cream to this with absolutely no added information? Apparently they did...
"Nonsense!" Anna said to Armen. "I know of the Conference. I just wanted to know of our department's involvement in it." She jotted down a bit of what Armen was saying, as well. Conference...Ministers...stage...French...killed.. . Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Bella stopped writing. "Excuse me, dears," she said, laying her quill and parchment on the desk. She strolled on over to the door and opened it, smiling politely at the young man standing there. Hmm. Now who was this? She thought back to the papers in the filing cabinet she'd looked through and tried to put a face with a name. "Ahhh, Mr. Caster! Lovely to see you. Come on in..." She opened the door wide and motioned for him to enter.
