Some women were disagreeable for the sake of it he noticed, Emily wasn't at all like that. It was probably why something resembling a friendship had developed. She didn't really do drama did she? He liked that.

He was watching the interaction with a small smile on his face, pleased with himself for putting Emily on the spot a bit with Lola but hey, it didn't hurt to keep people on their toes, and she seemed to be handling it well enough.


"Llamas eat fingers?" Lola asked, entirely fascinated with the demonstration. She put some of the pellet things on her hand and tried to keep her fingers straight. "If the llama ate fingers then it would be a menace and it would need to get punished. Maybe punished by dragons." She knew about menaces. Her dad sometimes said that she was one.

... but Lola didn't even eat fingers though.

She held her hand out, caught somewhere between brave and nervous.


Though she was focused on entertaining Lola, and ensuring said llama didn't eat the girls fingers, she did spare a few glances at the girls father. A small part of her wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she didn't. Instead she returned her gaze to Lola's hands. "That's it... see this way, while it eats the food it won't accidentally get your fingers caught between its teeth." Not that a llama would actually eat fingers on purpose. Emily wasn't the llama expert Rusty made her out to be, but she figured mundane beasts such as these weren't exactly on the finger eating list. More to the point, while she was a kick-butt auror, Rusty was an unknown. How protective of a father would he be? At any rate, she wasn't about to let the girl be harmed on her watch.

Emily couldn't help but chuckle though. Menace? Punished by dragons? Merlin Lola was cute. A little fire cracker in the making, no doubt.

"That's it, keep your fingers curled down and let him come to you a bit," she encouraged, "he might sniff at you a little bit, but that's just his way of getting to know you."


SPOILER!!: BAH!

YOINK. Camera gone.

Can't grab a camera that has disappeared, unfortunately. Bag, camera, and little boy, disappeared into the crowd and away unseen.


Call it paranoia, or constant vigillence, whatever... Emily's head snapped up as a figure raced past, snatching her bag!!!..... "Oi!"

.....
....

Between watching Lola, and looking at Rusty, Emily didn't bother getting up to chase the little brat, she was off duty, and it was petty theft... boring.

It wasn't as if there was anything valuable in the bag anyway. Just a copy of the Prophet, some receipts and half a box of Bertie Botts. Anything of remote importance she kept on her person. Money, keys, misc.
