The cafe on the corner serves nice breakfasts. I don't know much about the food in the specialty area." Other than that it was now someone in his level's job to check it out and make a report on it. What they were looking for, he'd know when they found it, if there was anything to find.

Gavin took a moment's pause, as if he was actually considering her question before finally nodding. "I'll admit it was." But only because it allowed them to move beyond the stage where she tried to have him jumping out of his skin whenever they had a run in. This was progress and to think all he had to do was get through her and her finger wiggles and her disregard for personal space. "Got myself personal security now." That personal security for his face she'd told him she'd never even consider, heh.

As for arranging for security, he figured if he just ignored that bit, it wouldn't happen. MLE-ers were busy people, they shouldn't be wasting their time cluttering level one.

Merlin, someone was getting defensive. Gavin laughed. Even more passionate about this topic than he thought. Of course it was clear she wouldn't be advocating on the behalf of either any time soon but she sure seemed worked up enough at the moment. "A world without a brash and standoffish Emily. You'll have to forgive me, I'm finding it hard to imagine." The idea amused him a bit more than it should, really it did. From their first encounter she was nothing if not very bold in her actions. Anything outside of that was just hard to imagine even with her justifying it by mentioning the pygmy puffs and honking daffodils.

And he laughed even more. "Picking up a genuine bit of concern for my niece I see." The look she'd had on that day told him she didn't care to even remember the name Avery. "Lucky for Avery, she neither has roots and grows in a plant patch or has any Ministry 'X' classifications. I tend to have better luck keeping humans alive and my dog doesn't complain either." Tobi was a good sport about most everything once you fed him and pet him.

It amazed her how quickly their friendship was progressing. If you could even call it that. From sharing a lift and invading each others personal space... to a catch up in Diagon Alley in which she was subjected to his niece sitting on her lap and now they'd somehow arranged to meet on a daily basis for coffee and breakfasts on Friday's - granted, that last part had been her own doing. How, had all this happened? Furthermore, she questioned how and why he had been so quick to accept the plans, he didn't even sound as if he were joking.
"So long as the food's not contaminated, it's average," she mused, going along with the conversation. "I try to avoid it when I can... too many people, goodness knows what they've stuck their fingers in before making their selections." That was arguably the worst aspect about buffets, the food handlers with limited and questionable hygienic practices ... this was a form of touching she was most definitely against. "And it's far less intimate..." which was sometimes an issue. She disliked the increased chance of being over heard, interrupted, and in general annoyed. Emily much preferred the peacefulness of a quiet corner booth in a small establishment where she could sit, think and ignore other peoples' stupidity.

So the suffering was worth it? How sweet. Truly, she was touched, save for the personal security bit. That was a bone he could keep and chew.. she wasn't going to take it back. "You'll just have to hope I'm not otherwise engaged in your time of need or peril." As amusing as the thought was, heh.

Gavin's laughter annoyed her. Emily's expression fell slack but she resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "If you ever get your hands on a timeturner," she said, leaving the statement open ended, then there was his chance to see it. Bright eyed, optimistic, arrogant and unmarred by years of hard work and disappointment. She was probably more fun then too...

She was contemplating slapping him one on the arm for all the laughing, but instead, she exhaled a small laugh of her own. "Chalk it down to my line of work... protecting the public," Avery being one of them. Now it was her turn to laugh. Gavin made a good point, Avery neither had leaves nor talons or fur ... "tend to have better luck?" she asked, the way he phrased it, it sounded as if there was a shadow of a doubt in the statement. Then there was the dog. "You have a dog?" Now that, was interesting.
