Watching him give free hugs in the Atrium was as good an incentive as there was for being lazy an doing... nothing. She could set herself up with a day bed, fluffy slippers and blanket and just watch the hugging unfold. All that human contact, would possibly drive him as nuts as boredom would drive her. Only, she'd be entertained for some of that time, at least.

She returned Gavin's nod. "What gave me away?" she asked, flicking her hair over her shoulder as she turned her head to make eye contact with him. Again, he was doing that reading thing, and wasn't wrong... she did suit herself. "Yet another thing we have in common..." they weren't so different, really. How, strange? nice? strange. Odd! Odd was the word.

A part of her was wondering if Gavin was laughing at her, or with her. At any rate, she couldn't hold back a light silvery laugh of her own. It was definitely a new experience laughing so early in the day, on a stair well of all places, when there was still so much to do. But it was... nice and she wasn't complaining. At least he understood, and seemed to be acclimating to her empty threats and touching/nudging... if anything, he didn't seem to mind. No jumping out of his skin or glaring at her this time, quite the opposite really.

"None that we haven't exhausted," she confirmed, not that there had been much to work with to begin with, the unsuspecting portkeys limited them in reaction time and in terms of physical evidence. There wasn't much to go on. "We can only speculate at this stage, but considering we've launched APW's and BOLO's worldwide there's not much room for her to move." And then there was the book she was after. "Though, we have reason to believe she hasn't yet fled the country, and won't for some time." That being until she has the book in her guilty little girl hands. It was only a matter of time until the redhead resurfaced, and when she did... Emily would be there, MLE would be there.

Emily nodded, her lips pursed in an attempt to smother a chuckle. Politics? Her? Work for him? No. "I've considered it about as much as you've considered becoming one of my touchers and tacklers." The thought of him in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office was amusing enough without thinking of him in something more, rigorous, like the Auror office. "Very entertaining," she affirmed, mockingly.


Yeah, he bet she'd like to see that very much but it wasn't going to happen, whether she took a lazy day or not. He tried to image standing in the middle of that room, person after person coming for a hug and it took every ounce of self control for him to not shudder right then and there. So much touching. He wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes. No use lying to himself. "I highly doubt lounging around all day is worth watching me crawl out of my skin." Seriously. He couldn't find the appeal.

"A bunch of little things." He responded. It wasn't just the way she spoke or the things she said, but it was just something that told him the woman didn't walk around trying to be a people pleaser. "We seem to have a lot of that." A lot more than he thought he'd ever have in common with a toucher if he was being honest. It was a....hmmm....a pleasant surprize? Sounded about right.

And was it him or did she not seem as guarded today? He'd gotten her laughing more than once, it wasn't exactly a normal thing. It wasn't to say he didn't think she had a sense of humour but more that she was usually either overanalyzing or trying to find the funniest way of making him squirm. Needless to say, she was much preferred when she was like this.

Of course he was paying extra attention while she spoke. The woman was still out there. What's more she was probably still in England taking her pick at the youth of others. Just what they needed, a psycho running around. "What makes you so sure she'll stay?" He was half hoping they didn't have that a strong a reserve of evidence arguing that point. Gavin would spare a moment of sympathy for the people living wherever she went but at the same time, he preferred her off somewhere than here. Reasonable, no?

Him? A toucher and tackler? The idea was scandalous to say the least. He had a policy of you keeping your hands to yourself and him doing the same. "I'm afraid that just wouldn't work out." So he saw her point. Politics wasn't exactly her thing. "It's all the same. Law Enforcement has been known to bend things until they fit what they need." The idea never amused him much until he put it in the context of her. She herself had admitted to being able to skirt the law. He remembered.
