I was worried about sending you out there--" she smiled though. "But I have an efficient team." That was a compliment, Gabby. Take it.
Hehehehe.
Lynley smirked a little. "I just.......well don't get me started on Level Four in general..." her voice was very hushed. "All so....I can't even think of the word." Creatures and Enviromentals. Hmph. Emmalee Howell was all right...certainly the most NORMAL. Oh, and she did befriend the werewolf...Taladona. "And Level THREE..." she rolled her eyes. ROLLED. HER. EYES.
There was nothing wrong with it, but Lynley thought it should be countered by other activities...perhaps exercise. Lynley DID do lots of cardio...but eh. Today was a long day, and she might just skip it. "I suppose. Moderation. Everything in moderation."
Oh. She was getting a compliment.
Of COURSE she was getting a compliment; Gabby did a great job at anything from her job to the way she styled her hair. "Thanks." She should probably return the compliment since it would be correct form in front of her boss. "We wouldn't be so efficient without your leadership." And as to her day..."Well, I always am productive. I even manage to fit in a workout regularly." So she wasn't lazy; not even when she was on the clock!
Level Four, hmm? "Odd?" Was that the word that her boss was looking for? Honestly Gabby thought that most people here were odd. She didn't understand what half the people in Environmental and Creatures were on about. "Something happen with someone on Level Three?" Because it was odd to see an eyeroll from this woman...
"Everything in moderation besides exercise and yacht parties." That was Gabby's life philosophy. Her husband agreed with her there because he had sense and knew she was always right.

Lynley smirked over at her employee. "I know. Thank you." The brunette felt smug. All was good in the world today, wasn't it? Ooooh. "Really? That's good. I have my yoga classes...and...I run otherwise." She had been slacking lately because of late night dinners with her brother and his wife recently, so she was TIRED a lot more than usual, but that was okay. She was slowly getting back into the swing of things.
"Nothing happened just.." she waved her hand. "I like Aron." And that was all she'd say. "Women. Such negative creatures..." she smirked a little and took a sip from her bottle of water.
Yacht parties! "Oh Gabby why haven't I been invited to such a yacht party as of yet, hmmmm? HMM? A company-level wide party?" She was teasing her, of course. Another forkful of salad for Lynley as she chuckled to herself.

Gabby nodded at her boss, because she wasn't sure what else to say. This compliment thing wasn't for her - unless someone was singing her praises. They she could never grow tired of; in fact she wished it happened more often. "Yoga is wonderful. I'm glad to hear that there is at least someone else who enjoys exercise." It seemed like she was surrounded by fat potato couches here in London.
Thank Merlin she lived in Italy still because she wouldn't be able to stand it otherwise.
But...her boss liked Aron? "You mean as a friend? Or as in you want to doodle 'Aron' in a bunch of hearts?" Just curious, and it wasn't as if the bosslady HAD to answer. Gabby would appreciate it, however, because right now she was bored enough to care. "That's true about woman, though I suppose we can all be negative. Besides me of course." Otherwise she would be criticizing herself and that wouldn't do.
Company-level wide yacht party? "I know you are teasing me, but if you play your cards right maybe YOU can see it." And no, this was not her sucking up. Gabby didn't need to resort to such low tactics because she let her work speak for itself.
Hungry was not the word. Famished, starved, malnourished? Those were much closer to describing how Tala felt as she tried her best not to eat her food while she looked around the Cafeteria for a vacant seat. All that work at the A-Were-Ness Booth had really worked up an appetite in the blonde, it was great work, though. Tala was doing exactly what she dreamed of doing, she was making a difference.
Smiling to herself, Tala settled at a table near a window.Tucking back her hair, she began casuallyshovelingherfriesdownherthroat.
Hungry. Ahem.

Hungry. Ahem.
She had been thinking about food all day. It had been a struggle for FOUR HOURS. January had quite possibly never felt as hungry as she did when she finally decided she had done enough work and could justify finally going to eat lunch. She made her way down to the cafeteria and piled food onto her plate. She had been eating a good bit more than usual, thanks to the little human growing inside of her, but she was wondering how much of that was actually the little human and how much was her just... wanting to eat.
At least she got healthy, protein packed food. Picking a carrot off her plate and crunching on it as she looked for a seat, January spotted her coworker sitting by herself and decided to join her. "Hi, Tala," she greeted as she sat at her table. "How's the A-Were-Ness thing going? I haven't been able to stop by yet." But she promised she would, so... she would.

Glancing up, Tala beamed as January took a seat. "Hey Bones," She looked so good and Tala decided that pregnancy and impending motherhood suited the ginger perfectly. Ginger, when did she start using words like that? London was clearly creeping on her. Oh merlin, what if she started losing her accent and started speaking like a limey? Perhaps the blonde needed another trip back home soon, a little native time would be good for her. "Oh, it's been good... Got off to a weird start with this reporter dude showing up and being just like... The biggest jerk, but after Harmony shooed him off it was pretty steady." She smiled, pausing in her shoveling to sip her coke. "Well, we'll be there for a while... Come by when you can. No worries."
Tala was sure the older woman was busy and she didn't mind her not coming by yet. "How are youuuuu?" She asked, trying not to glance down at her fairly flat stomach because that would be weird.

As soon as she was sat and settled, January started digging into her piece of fish, which... was... not very good. Had they changed the recipe? Merlin, it tasted... off. Her face turned unpleasant, and it stayed that way when Tala mentioned a rude reporter had showed up to her event that she had worked so hard on. "You're kidding. What happened?" Pushing her fish to the side of her plate, January promised in her head that she would go visit the booth after her lunch break. She would feel bad if she didn't support Tala in her event.
"Oh, I'm fine," she replied after finishing a bite of broccoli. "Had a bit of a rough morning, but that's sort of becoming routine now..." Morning sickness was awful, but she was starting to get used to it. "How have you been?"

Seb felt a little disgruntled as he looked over the place. It wasn't the nicest place ever, and Sen could afford to take Fate someplace nicer. . .
Taking her out to a fancy dinner was the least he could do after what he had done, but lunch in the Ministry Cafeteria wasn't exactly what he had in mind. He shrugged and gave a sigh. He could always do the whole candle-lit dinner thing another time. But for now, this would have to suffice.
He walked to one of the tables and took a seat on one of the awfully color-schemed chairs. He hoped that Fate arrived soon. . . he couldn't wait to see her. He had gotten her a little gift as well, an apology gift of some sort. He just hoped that she liked it. . .
C'mon, Seb! You're not in school anymore, stop worrying like a boy going on his first date!
Fate always did that to him, made him feel all giddy and nervous. With was a weird shift from his normal laid-back demeanour.

Fate. . . he really had fallen hard for her. . .
Fate should have been strong, she should have said no when Seb asked her out to lunch, after the encounter with his wife yesterday.. She bit her lip a little as she leaned against the wall of the cafeteria.. Her silvery green eyes had already spotted Seb as he moved to a table.
She felt her heart skip several beats as she looked at him..
Merlin.. He was most likely going to be the literal death of her.
But she couldn't say no.. So she moved from her spot on the back wall and walked towards him, clad today in a green pencil skirt, a white button up blouse and green heels.. Her hair was still up in it's neat bun.. Appropriate for work she thought..
She softly slid into a seat across from Seb and she gave him a soft smile. "Hey you."
Nervously hungry. She wasn't sure that was the right way to describe how she was feeling right now, but it felt accurate. Claudy were in a bit meeting the employees who were transferees to the Ministry that her boss Gidyun had assigned her to welcome and help for lunch. With her food tray in hand the blond 20 year old IMC employee surveyed the cafeteria for an empty table with four seats.
Spotting a vacant one nearby one of the windows in what appeared to be a quiet corner, she walked over and took one of the seats. Tugging some strands of hair out of her face Claudy glanced down at her wrist watch.
10 minutes until they came.
Taking a sip of apple juice she hoped that it all would go splendidly. Now she just had to wait.

Not exactly the kind of meeting to which Michele was accustomed, this. She couldn't recall ever having been in a situation in which she would need a tour guide of any kind, though, so... really everything about all of this was new. The woman had gently slid her hands over her hips, making sure her skirt was sitting right over them, and made her way down from Level 5; once she'd found the right place, she'd found her way to food. At least that was the same everywhere, for the most part... in general, not in specifics. There was always a smell.
She would figure out food after figuring out where exactly she was meant to go with it. The tall woman looked over the few unfamiliar faces in the room, already eating and chatting animatedly with each other; there was one in particular she was looking for, and after a moment she spied Claudette in one corner. Gracing anyone who met her eyes with a smile, she headed for the younger woman immediately.
"Claudette," she murmured with a smile, her way of a greeting, as she approached.

She softly slid into a seat across from Seb and she gave him a soft smile. "Hey you."
A wide-grin spread across Seb's face when he saw Fate. Merlin. Even in her work-clothes she looked absolutely stunning. Just the sound of her voice set his heart aflutter. "Hello, Beautiful."
He reached across the table and put one of his hands over one of her small ones and gave it a small squeeze. He looked into those gorgeous eyes of hers. . . Seb felt like he could drown in those eyes. He was already enchanted by them, so what would a little drowning hurt? He just imagined what it would be like if he could wake up to those eyes every single day for the rest of his life. . . Silver and Green instead of Murk and Blue.
He shook the thought from his head. Here he was fantasising about a future that may never even come. . . he didn't even know if Fate wanted a future like that. She was still young and at the beginning of her life. . . she deserved someone who didn't have as much baggage as Seb did, a man that didn't have a wife and a kid and a screwed up life. She deserved much more, and all he could give her was heartbreak. . . but even the thought of Fate with another man made his blood boil.
He gave her hand another squeeze before removing his. Seb slid his hand into one of the pockets of his suit-jacket and pulled a long grey-box from it. "I got you this. . . I know it isn't much, but it reminded me of you," he slid he box across the table, "I know that not even diamonds and emeralds can make up for the pain that I've caused you. . . but I hope that this shows you how sorry I am."
Seb lifted his hand to her cheek, "I never want to hurt you again. And I will try my best not to. . . because, I-I don't want to lose you Fate. . ." he said with a sad smile, "And I know that you deserve better than the likes of me, but. . . I can't let you go."

Despite her earlier doubts, as soon as she saw Seb's wide smile and felt his warm hand squeeze hers, which had sent sparks flooding through her veins.. Fate was glad she had come. Just sitting here, with her hands in his, was enough to make everything else fade away. All of her worries and doubts and thoughts about.. ending whatever this was, just flew away.
"Hello Handsome, it's so good to see you.' She whispered softly as she looked into his blueish gray eyes and felt her heart start to melt a bit as he looked at her.. Goodness..
Was there even a world around them? Everything seemed to have faded away..
Though reality seemed to rush back in as Seb let go of her hands and she bit her lip a little as he took something out of his pocket.. and slid it across the table towards her.. "Oh Seb.. you didn't have to get me anything.." She said softly as she opened the box and gasped.. Dear Sweet Merlin.."Wow.." She breathed softly, she had never seen something so beautiful in her life before. "I love it.. Thank you so much." She whispered as she gently traced the necklace.. She had never ever owned anything this nice before! And these were probably real!!
She looked up at him, her silvery green eyes looking at him as his hand moved to her cheek.. warmth flooded through her and she bit her lip ever so slightly at his words.. "I don't want to lose you either.. I came here.. to break things off." She admitted.. "I met your wife yesterday..and.. today.. i was all geared up to end it.. But.. I can't." Because she loved him.. And she had since she had first met him.. "But..where can this go?" She asked softly.

Merlin, she was enticing. . .
He shrugged off her compliment (which was appreciated) and stroked her fingers with his thumbs, "You can't imagine how happy I am that you came. . . " he looked down at their hands, the mocking platinum no longer resting in the same spot it had been for 14 years. . . and he didn't even feel bad about taking it off. "How's the Ministry treating you? All the best, I hope?" She looked happy, so he hoped that she was enjoying it.
"Of course I had to. . . I hurt you, Fate. . . and its been eating at me. I couldn't sleep, knowing that you were in pain. Because so was I." Seb had been thinking about it ever since he spoke with her last. "I know that gifts won't make it better. . . but I want you to know that even though I don't deserve you. . . I want you. I want to shower you with gifts and love. And I want to give you the life you deserve. . . "
The necklace was a shabby thing compared to Fate, it was shame that the thing had to be outshone. . . nothing would ever be a beautiful as she was. . .
His heart seemed to fall straight from his chest all the way into Hell. His hand dropped from her warm cheek. She wanted to break things off. . . he knew that this wasn't the ideal situation, but he couldn't imagine letting her go. . .
Oh Merlin, she had met Anya. He grimaced and ran his hand through his hair, "Yeah. . . meeting Anya isn't the best thing in the world. . . " Not by a long shot, "Did she try and threaten you or something?" He wouldn't put it past her. He just hoped that she didn't know that Fate was the girl. . . the girl whose perfume now lingered to his clothes. . . the girl he would leave her for. . . the girl he loved.
Where could this go? He wanted a life with Fate, he realized that now. But there was Anya and Mason. . . but he wanted Fate. "I want to be with you, Fate. So badly. . . do you want this? I know you deserve much more than me. . . but I'll try, I'll try so hard to be the man you deserve. I want something with you. Not just some stupid fling. . . " He wanted her, no one else, "I want you, not Anya. . . I've wanted to leave her for so long. And you've given me an even better reason to. . . but I don't want to put my daughter through that. . . Lets just start slow, and when it's time. . . I'll leave her. But I need you to tell me, do you want something with me?"

Fate smiled up at Seb as he spoke, and rubbed her hands.. His touch felt so good.. It was like she had come home.. He was home. All of her life she had been searching for something.. and she had found it.. In him..
"Yeah, I'm just a glorified assistant really.. but that's all I can expect from now.. Art teachers aren't a big thing in the ministry." She said as she shrugged her shoulders a bit.. "But it's good." She said with a warm smile, the people in her department were nice and she would get to see him more often! So that was what mattered!
Also food and making rent.. There was that too.
"Oh Seb." She whispered as she looked up at him as he spoke, her silvery green eyes meeting his grayish blue ones.. "Don't say you don't deserve me.. How do I deserve you."Technically she was the homewrecker in this situation. She really should just walk away..
She watched as his hand fell from her cheek and she bit the inside of her lip a little as he looked at her. "Yeah, it wasn't the best thing.. She's.. interesting..Pretty." She whispered softly as she slowly shook her head.. "Well, I thought she might poison me or stab my eyes out with a fork, so I escaped as soon as I could.. I don't think she knew it was me though." She had even given her a fake name to further throw her off the scent.
She was completely silent as he spoke and her eyes were on the table as he explained everything.. It made her heart warm and beat faster when he said that he wanted her. She was still for several moments after he finished speaking.. Why did this have to be so hard? She was going to break up a family..But..
"Yes.. I do want to be with you." She said in a soft voice.. "Just promise me that we WILL be together fully one day? I don't want to be the "other woman" for my entire life." She said as she bit her lip and looked up at him..

Also food and making rent.. There was that too.
"Oh Seb." She whispered as she looked up at him as he spoke, her silvery green eyes meeting his grayish blue ones.. "Don't say you don't deserve me.. How do I deserve you."Technically she was the homewrecker in this situation. She really should just walk away..
She watched as his hand fell from her cheek and she bit the inside of her lip a little as he looked at her. "Yeah, it wasn't the best thing.. She's.. interesting..Pretty." She whispered softly as she slowly shook her head.. "Well, I thought she might poison me or stab my eyes out with a fork, so I escaped as soon as I could.. I don't think she knew it was me though." She had even given her a fake name to further throw her off the scent.
She was completely silent as he spoke and her eyes were on the table as he explained everything.. It made her heart warm and beat faster when he said that he wanted her. She was still for several moments after he finished speaking.. Why did this have to be so hard? She was going to break up a family..But..
"Yes.. I do want to be with you." She said in a soft voice.. "Just promise me that we WILL be together fully one day? I don't want to be the "other woman" for my entire life." She said as she bit her lip and looked up at him..
Seb gave a small laugh at the glorified assistant part. "It can't be that bad, can it? I've heard that Hawthorne is a pretty cool boss." He still wanted to see one of Fate's artworks someday. He could just imagine the look of concentration on her beautiful face as she painted. . . acrylic smeared on her cheek. The thought brought a smile to his face.
At least it was going good with her. . . that was all that mattered.
What? She though that she didn't deserve him? But why? She was this kind, beautiful goddess . . . and she wanted him, for some strange reason. How could she think that?
Seb let out a bitter laugh, "Pretty. . . that's about the only thing good about Anya." She was a nightmare disguised as a daydream, "Well, she wouldn't poison you, per se. She's the type that plays games with you. . . But it's good that she doesn't know it's you. I wouldn't want her to claw those beautiful eyes of yours out." He liked them too much.
"Fate. . . " Why wasn't she saying anything. Was she about to break things off? Was she thinking about ways to let him off easily? After he had poured his heart and soul out to her. . .
But when she finally spoke, the words were exactly the ones he had wanted to hear since they first met. The day in the Leaky Cauldron felt like ages ago. . . and yet he still felt that same fire he had felt the first time. Merlin. . .
He lifted their hands from the table and kissed hers. "I promise you, Fate Rosewood. I want you as more than just the 'Other Woman'. . . I want you as my. . ." My what? Soulmate? Girlfriend? Wife? "I want you as the woman that I can grow old with. And I promise you that I will do everything within my power to make that happen."

Fate shook her head a little, "No, it's really not all that bad actually, but I am an assistant.. I run errands, make copies and generally help out." She shrugged a little.. "But at least it pays rent and I can eat, that's really all that matters right now." she said with a warm smile. Food was important!
She felt her heart twist ever so slightly as Seb said that Anya was pretty.. Was that the reason he had stayed with her? Fate bit her lip ever so slightly at that and she twisted her hands slightly.. That woman had been gorgeous.. how was she supposed to compare with that? She wasn't sure..
"I hate games, I would much prefer the poison." Fate said with a bit of a distressed look. She was now genuinely scared of Seb's wife and for good reason! She was coming and messing everything up! She looked up at Seb and her hands moved to hold onto his.. As if she might get shot in the back of the head at any moment!
She looked up at Seb as he started to speak..but she felt her heart fall ever so slightly as he couldn't come up with the words to saw what he wanted her as.. Her silvery green eyes looked deep into his.. and just like at the bar.. everything faded from view.. warmth burst through her.. and she knew.. she KNEW this was meant to be.. All her doubts vanished as she looked at him..
"I love you." She whispered out.. unthinkingly.. before her eyes went wide.. Oh.. Merlin.. They.. uhh..
Her face started to flame as she looked up at the handsome man, who took her breath away and she fumbled around a bit.. "I.. think.. lunch.. maybe.. over.. go?" The words were choppy as she was scrambling to leave her seat..

MUST.. ESCAPE.. NOWWWWWW.
What. . . . . . . ? ? ? ? ?
Had Fate just said what he thought she said? She loved him? Loved. . . Did she really, or was it just something that she had said impulsively? Or could she actually be in love with him?
Did he love her back?
He didn't even have to think about that. He had known the answer since the first time their lips had touched. He always felt like they were the only two people in the world when they were together and he never wanted to lose her, ever. . . he loved her.
"Fate, I lo-" before he could even tell her how he felt, her hand ripped from his. . . she was leaving. No. . . she couldn't just leave him. . . the exact same way that he had left her.
By the time he actually decided to stand up and do something, she was already gone. Funny, he said that he never wanted to leave her. . . yet she was gone.
Damnit! He wasn't going to let her go! He took of running after her, out of the Cafeteria. He ran and he ran and he ran. Turning corners and opening any door he saw.
But he couldn't find her. . . he had let her get away. The thought made his blood boil and without even thinking, he turned and let his fist collide with one of the walls.
But even the searing pain in his hand couldn't match the pain he felt of her leaving him. . .
Not exactly the kind of meeting to which Michele was accustomed, this. She couldn't recall ever having been in a situation in which she would need a tour guide of any kind, though, so... really everything about all of this was new. The woman had gently slid her hands over her hips, making sure her skirt was sitting right over them, and made her way down from Level 5; once she'd found the right place, she'd found her way to food. At least that was the same everywhere, for the most part... in general, not in specifics. There was always a smell.
She would figure out food after figuring out where exactly she was meant to go with it. The tall woman looked over the few unfamiliar faces in the room, already eating and chatting animatedly with each other; there was one in particular she was looking for, and after a moment she spied Claudette in one corner. Gracing anyone who met her eyes with a smile, she headed for the younger woman immediately.
"Claudette," she murmured with a smile, her way of a greeting, as she approached.
This was uncharted territory. Claudy had never been a tour guide for anyone least of all to someone that was an immigrant in some sense. It'd be a new experience for her too, which was why she felt so nervous and apprehensive, almost hand sweaty even. Claudy trusted in her skills and abilities to make good impressions on people and to make them feel comfortable in her presence. It was probably as Luc had said earlier that morning that she was just worried since it was her first big assignment for her new job.
To not fiddle with the food on her plate, to really act nervous Claudy did what Luc had advised and pulled out a gossip magazine. Reading one of those usually had a soothing affect on her when Luc wasn't near. Opening the magazine on a random article she felt herself relax as she read the first words.
Claudette had just finished an article about a wizard pop band that was coming to London to play when she was interrupted by a voice. Looking up she beamed warmly at the woman. "Hello Michele, was it hard to find the food court?"
Her husband was the best. For many reasons, but especially today for sending her the most beautiful, moist, chocolatey cake of all space and time, and the best part was that it was for no reason whatsoever.
SIGH.
Tala took her cakebox, her fork, and her large glass of milk and she made her way to an unoccupied sunlit table near one of the large windows. Happily humming, Tala put down her cake, and arranged her little setup before sitting down and carefully unfolding the box.
She could cry it was so beautiful. A triple decker chocolate cake with fridge icing and chocolate chips and a single cherry on top. This was by far the greatest thing Lucas Pendergast had ever bought her (wedding ring included). Taking up her fork, Tala didn't slice the cake as was the usual, rather, she began to scoop into it as is.
ugh.
The texture, the chocolatey center, the whiff of the fudgey frosting, it was all too much. Tala was honestly going to cry. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

Coffee. Where was the coffee... Emmalee had entered the cafeteria with one purpose in mind: locate caffeine. Sure, she had the means to make tea in her office, but she had just been in the day care and frankly, being mom to two-year-old twins was proving to be almost as exhausting as being mom to twin infants. The difference was that now instead of crying, her daughters talked back. And ran. And smashed food in her hair.
To people who didn't know her, nothing would seem amiss. But to people who did know her, she was a little less shiny, a little more quiet, and a whole lot more tired.
She was beginning to feel a bother to her friends, a burden to her father and step-mother, and not exactly the best supervisor in the Ministry.
But all that would have to wait. She needed coffee.

It was so quiet lately in the Ministry, made it all the more easy to notice a familiar face, like the one belong to Emmalee Howell... Even if she did look sort of.. well, totally exhausted. Was she okay? Was this what twin girls did to you? Maybe she and Lucas needed to reconsider the kid thing for a bit. Who was she kidding, that wasn't even remotely an option.
Tala raised up her be-forked hand and waved toward the older woman. "Hi Emmalee." She smile, offering the woman a warm smile. The two didn't talk much, and though Tala had come to call the woman her 'friend' she didn't think it was.. appropriate or cool to really talk to her with everything going on. Still, she couldn't resist saying something. "Uh, you have smashed food in your hair, dude."

Lunch time! Lunch time! Lunch time!
Adam was singing his happy song to himself as he walk into the food court. He was splurging today and allowing himself to eat out. Now, if only he knew what he wanted to eat!
He made a few rounds of the food stations still humming to himself; decided on some Beef stew (he never was able to pass up a good stew!) and some mash tatters before snagging a iced tea and paying for his meal.
Hum…. Hum…hum… fooood!!
Ah! A spot!
Adam slid into the chair of an empty table. Even though he’d been working in the Ministry for a year now, he still didn’t know many people. Plus it was easier to sit by himself because there was less change of people asking him questions he couldn’t answer about his work (and less opportunity for him to make a fool of himself with his poor English). He spared a moment of thanks for his food as he unwrapped his spoon.

Andrina made her way down to the food court, she had a lunch made from home, nothing to special, left over chicken parmigiana from last night's dinner along with a nice green salad..
She picked up some sparkling lemonade from the food court and paid for that before looking around for a place to sit..
Hmmm, it seemed she had gotten here at a bad time for all of the tables were full, a frown crossed her lips as she looked for anyone she knew..and her purple eyes zeroed in on one of her co-workers!
She made a beeline towards him and smile as she stood near his table..
"I'm so sorry, but all the tables are full, may I sit with you?" Andi asked him with a smile.

He was still happily mentally humming to himself while he ate. The stew was decent, not as good as the hasenpfeffer soup in Diagon Alley that he had come to be obsessed with, but it was stew non-the-less and Adam loved his stew. I really should made more stews at home. he thought wondering if he could afford a slow-heating/cooking cauldron. Having one might be useful for his potion experiments too, only it would have to be placed at the bottom of his shopping wish list. He needed more moon dung for his plants first, or else they’d die and then he’d been in real trouble come the next time his aliment flared up.
Adam was in mid-potato shoveling mode and thought when he heard someone ask to join him. “Mmm?” he said around a sporkful of mashed potatoes. He motioned for her to sit and then swallowed his potatoes before talking. “Hallo.” The woman looked a bit familiar and he vaguely remembered seeing her at the department meeting (where there had been free bagels and coffee!). He moved his tray closer and tucked some of his unused napkins under his stew bowl. “I didunt realize it had gottun so busy unt hair.” He smiled, hoping he didn’t have any food in his teeth.
