"It was nice meeting you, as well," she said. Despite the fact that the two of them were both staff members here at Hogwarts, they actually hadn't been able to sit down and have a good 'getting to know you' conversation. Sadly, Gabriella hadn't had one of those conversations with a good many of her fellow staff members. When Marcus suggested getting together on more of a social level, she glanced away from Dylan to smile and nod.
"I'd like that, thanks." The outing would be a nice chance to get to know Iliana a little better, too.

He was merely getting an injection. Just a jab. Not resetting his bones at all. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes again as the pain receeded.
"Brace it?" he frowned, "Can I wear my trainers over it?" Oh he was not going around with only one shoe on. That was not cool.
Dylan nodded, as Professor Lawson left, "I would like that very much Sir."
Upon hearing Dylan's voice again, Gabriella turned from Marcus and glanced back at her patient.
"The brace will only extend from your mid-thigh to some point between your knee and ankle. It won't interfere with your foot at all," she answered.
Pushing herself off her stool, Gabriella headed out the room for just a minute or two. When she came back, she was carrying Dylan's new leg brace in one hand and a set of crutches in the other. She tilted the crutches against the bed then began snapping the brace into position. Just as she promised, it didn't cover Dylan's foot at all.
"The brace will be worn for about a month. You'll have to be careful not to get it wet or damaged. If you do, just come back in, and I'll replace it," she instructed. She eyed Dylan for a moment, wondering if he'd be the type of kid to break all the 'leg brace' rules she just gave him.
"Your broken bones, by the way, are healed. The leg brace is to give you a bit more support while your leg regains some strength," she added. Extending her arm for support, she began to help Dylan off the bed. Standing with a brace would take some getting used to.
"You're dismissed, Mr. Denver, but remember to exercise caution."
