It was instances like these where she found people to be interesting, and perhaps a little neurotic. Like now. She'd commented on how grand coffee was on a level that wasn't Vic's.. and bam! defensiveness regarding level seven coffee. Or at least, that's how she interpreted the woman's justification. How very, amusing. She had simply held her smile and nodded along with all of that, there was no need to take the conversation on coffee further than it had already gotten. "Always swamped... but it's fine, you can watch me sort papers and and get some filing done." And by filing, she meant into her waste paper basket. Honestly, some of the rubbish that came through her office was astounding.

Getting a laugh out of Vic was always a good indication of socialising gone right, good work Browne, good work. "See that's just the thing, I don't need to try, it just happens. If my life was a pie-chart, my free time in which socialising would be acceptable would only account for one maybe two percent on a good week." Did she want a break down of how many minutes that might be? Because she could do the math. Taking a right hand turn, Emily guided them up the next corridor before pausing in front of her office. Negating her multitude of wards, she pushed her door open and gestured for Vic to enter first. Being a guest and all. "Aaahhh... ice cream," she noted, perhaps more amused than before. It was a trip they all made on a too-frequent basis, but again, she wasn't one to complain.

She'd hadn't missed the bit about Alana and the Healer, but didn't think it was necessary to pass comment... that was normal right? Little ones? Healers? It seemed that way, so she wasn't going to ask. "So how have you been anyway?" she asked, more broadly. "And congrats about the promotion." She'd heard, obviously.


Amazing? Hmm, she'd have to possibly check it out the next time she was taking a walking break from her desk. "I'll take your recommendation next time I find some time to be away from things." Which anymore wasn't often, but she forced the time at the moment. Watch her work? Well not what Victoria had hoped from her visit, but then again her thoughts were at the fact that she had come unannounced and she was interrupting the woman at work. "All right, but I won't stay long. I don't want to distract you."

She chuckled more as she went into Emily's office, she knew what Gavin talked about her being a workaholic. Emily and Vic were very much alike in those aspects. She was just a bit more social than her MLE friend it seemed. "Well I'm glad I could be that small percentage to socialize with you today." Beaming a bit, she knew she forced it, but still it was giving her probably a needed break as well. Nodding at her ice cream she didn't feel like Emily was all that surprised, so maybe they did that often.

"Oh thank you." She assumed Gavin told her or maybe Mariel if they spoke, but she wasn't sure how much her boss and Emily spoke to each other much. "It was a great surprise last year during everything that had been going on in my life. Probably a great push in the best direction." They all knew Vic wasn't the strongest of people, especially last year. That was then though and now things had been getting better.
"Great really, super busy here, but that's the great part I think. We have that amazing Quidditch event coming up so that has been super occupied. Then between time with the girls when they aren't with Charely and spending time with Cosgrach when he can get away from the school, it's just been good."
She was smiling bigger, did Emily know about Cosgrach, maybe not, she wans't one to lab her relationships around and since he hadn't come to the Gala with her, no one would really know.
