"I'm good thank you." he replied wiht a smile. Chuckling as she said she wanted coffee now too, he rose "Would you like cream or sugar in it, or do you prefer black?" No bother, he'd just fill his again, because as he rose he took another long sip from it. He had a hard time deciding as well quite often on which he wanted. Filling his mug to the top again he poured a mug for her too, waiting to know if she wanted anything with it.

"More decisions? You're killing me here Gavin!" Lola joked. But seriously did she want cream? And more sugar? Or did she just want it black? Man why was life so hard? "I'll have...." she took another moment.... "urrr, no sugar, but lots of cream please." that reminded her, she liked cream. It was just..... creamy?

Chuckling he shook his head "Well wouldn't want to do that, but don't want to oversugar you either." He almost added your sweet enough as it is, but if he did that, well he'd never want that to get back to Kat. "As you wish." he replied with a grin and nod. Bringing the container of creamer with him in the crook of one arm he carried the two coffees back to the table and took a seat. "There you are." he said passing the creamer and coffee across to her.

"So have you checked out the new food court?" he asked before taking another sip of coffee.

Mmmmm. She could smell the cream. Damn, she needed cream, she reached out her hands and kept pouring right up to the rim. She sipped, a little hot, but she could live. "Thank-you sir." Lola licked they cream off her top lip. New food court? What new food court? Oh, of course, the Ministry food court. Mmmhmm. "I think I've been there once or twice..." shs tilted her head, trying to remember...

"You're very welcome." he said winking at her before sipping his hot black coffee. He never had cared for anything put into it, nice and strong was his way to go. Kat even teased him once in awhile about it, but he didn't mind. He preferred it that way. "I wish I could say I have, been so busy lately. Never even got a chance to use those coupons I was handing out!" he replied with a small laugh shaking his head. "Maybe today for lunch perhaps I will finally."

"You should." she replied. Oh, yeah the coupons, had she used hers? In fact did she have any? She probably did, somewhere at the bottom of her handbag or the middle draw in her desk- where she put anything and everything, she should really tidy it.... "If nothing else, use up the coupons!" Free stuff was awesome. "If only we didn't have so much paperwork, so boring and hardly important I should think!" If they didn't have paperwork they could do more work right? Actually, their only work really was paperwork.... Except for when Gina gave them tasks... Then they did way more fun things.

may I join? ;)
 

Lola turned to see a guy, who she did not yet know. "Hey, d'you want some coffee?" she offered. He looked pretty tired, and there was nothing like caffeine to wake you up right? "I'm Lola." she smiled at him. Another Level 5 employee she assumed? Gavin probably knew him, he seemed to know everyone around here.

Did she just said coffee? That's what he need now. Sleepiness sometimes made himself became a slow-thinker.

"Oh, Yeah. I would like to." said him politely to that lady. Trying not to fall asleep, Dimitri took a seat and rested his head on the table. He should kill Archer now because of his movie marathon idea. Well, actually he was not a morning person but since he started working in Ministry, the 20-year-old guy should change his biological hours so no more sleeping in the morning and stayed up late at night. Yawn.

Realized that he almost fell asleep, Dimitri woke up and rubbed his face. "Well, I'm Dimitri Burton." he introduced himself to Lola. "Pleasure to meet you, Lola." He continued. He was still trying to wake up, not to fall asleep. Maybe after he had 1 or 2 cups of coffee he would be recharged again. Huft.

Looking up as another person joined them "Hey Dimitri." he said brightly, dang the man sure looked tired! "Not sleep well?" he asked curiously. He'd had those kind of nights, a lot more recently actually. Him and Kat planning the wedding that was coming up the end of August. Sipping from his coffee he watched as the two introduced themselves. He was kind of wishing they had some of Gina's cookies about now. Cookies sounded really good to go with the coffee. 'Cause now he was feeling snacky!

*semi-joins* xD
 

*jumps in with two feet* hehe
 

What in Merlin's name was going on, he'd just gone to the coffee pot in the work area, to refill his coffee as he made his rounds and found it empty, having started a new brew he'd also noticed the water cooler was completely empty. Now that had been just weird. He'd refilled the water as well at that point. But he still needed coffee. So heading for the breakroom, he was relieved to see that the coffee was nice and full and filled up his cup. At least there, they could get water from the faucet in the kitchen!

He spotted Dimitri but he didn't look all that great again today. "Hey Dimitri, are you feeli...?" Hearing growling he looked up and saw Dart in the corner just standing there growling. "Dart?" He wasn't sure if he should approach the guy or not! His eyes grew large, and was just plain confused. What in Merlin's name was happening to the people on his level???

He nearly jumped as Dart now growled at him, and just stared. What else was he supposed to do? His employee was growling at him! Gavin's eyes were wide and he glanced over at Dimitri well at least he just looked sick. Dart on the other hand appeared to be having been taken over by a werewolf of sorts! AND IT WASN'T EVEN A FULL MOON!

"Da..." FOOGRR? What the heck was that? Foo...foo...with a grrr...hmmm 'fool?' What were they being called fools for? Should he be calling for level 4 to come? Were they all turning into animals?

Foo...his eyes widened more if that were even possible. Did he mean food? "Are you hungry?" he asked taking a step back as the man growled again. "I'll...I'll get you some food." Yep, practically running towards the kitchenette he opened the fridge grabbing food from it, not paying attention to the labels on the packages, as to whose they were.

The plot is still happening ;) so keep your eyes peeled!

Entering the break room, Gavin headed for the fridge pulling out his lunch that he'd brought. Kat was home sick again, morning sickness still getting to her. Merlin...he was going to be a father! He still hadn't gotten over that! Putting the container in the microwave to heat it nice and hot, he turned and saw Elizabeth sitting there looking pretty down. "Hey Elizabeth, everything alright?" he asked curiously. She didn't look as happy as she normally did and a little worse for wear too!

Elizabeth glanced at her boss and tried to put on a fake smile, "Peachy, Gavin." She sighed as she even could tell that she didnt pull it off, "I just dont know what to do anymore, Gavin..." She glanced down into her tea cup. She sighed and stirred her tea absentmindly.

Lifting his eyebrow as Elizabeth said peachy, he really highly doubted that. Opening the microwave he headed back into the breakroom pulling up a chair across from her and setting his bowl and bag on the table. "Doesn't sound like it." Stirring his food with the spoon he pulled out he gazed across at her "You know we've been friends longer then I've been department head you can talk to me about anything, no matter what it is if you wish." He wasn't going to push her, because some things just couldn't be said no matter what.

He just knew something was bothering her. Especially after her last words!

Elizabeth sighed and looked at Gavin, "Yeah... I know..." She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. She frowned and looked down, "Jack has a baby coming in 6 months..." She glanced away. It was obvious from the lack of a baby bump that she has and the way she is feeling about it, that it wasnt her baby. She messed with her tea then glanced up at her boss... who was a friend first.

Ahhh...damn. He'd not expected to hear that at all. "Merlin..." he whispered shaking his head. "Yeah I'm guessing that wasn't planned, and I'm guessing...not yours." he added to state the obvious. If it had been hers he would think she'd be happy about it. "I can see why you aren't sure what to think now though."

Elizabeth sighed, "Yeah... not mine... he had cheated on me a little before we both returned to work... it was accidental but still..." Tears trailed down her face as she got up. She turned and started to pour her tea out, shaking a little.

Seriously? How in Merlin's right toe sock could anyone cheat on someone 'a little'? "I'm sorry Elizabeth, I truly am." Watching as she got up and poured out her tea he shook his head pushing his food around with his spoon not even have taken a bite yet. He couldn't imagine ever doing that to Kat so how someone could do that was beyond him.
