SPOILER!!: Emily Quote:
Originally Posted by Hera  Emily wasn't at all convinced by Vic's claims of it being nothing. With looks like that, and sitting in parks by yourself, it was never nothing. Not from Vic at least, the woman was annoyingly social, how she managed to get through the start to the year without having catch ups was beyond her. It was actually rather, unsettling. "I'm here if you want to talk... I give shoddy advice, if any, but I make for an excellent listener." Not to say the woman needed advice to begin with, but things of this nature usually meant there was some form of problem solving involved. Emily shrugged. Offer was there.
Vic's surprise was to be expected, Circe, each morning that she woke was a surprise to her. A little less so now, but the fact that he's lived under her roof a couple of months without injuring himself or dying was a miracle in itself. He needed to learn to not try jumping stairs. Patience little grasshopper. "He is... we've been adjusting alright. But by all means, any tips you've got, send them my way." She spared the boy another look, a small smile on her lips.
Gobstones, was a weird sport. It was like lawn bowls, or marbles, only neither of them, because it was soooooooooooo different! And he sucked at it. Zeke took up another of the gobstones and carefully rolled it toward the jackstone, managing to bump away one of the other stones. He did something riiighhtt! Did Emily see? Did she? She was watching him right? Zeke's head snapped up to see where she was, noticing she was chatting with another lady person. He waved, and bounced a little on his heels. Did she seee him?!
Emily could appreciate gobstones about as much as she could appreciate a flobberworm farm. It was interesting, but after a second of looking she was bored. Of course, Zeke needed eyes on him, lest he go wandering, so she did see him waving and doing things. Her widening smile and dip of the head would tell him she saw. She was paying attention to him, and his time was slowly running out - so he ought to make the most of it. "He's nine, and I saved him from the muggles..." she answered her friends questions, the last was more said in jest, but it wasn't wrong. "He's orphaned... I just happened to be there to pick up the pieces when his mum passed." Lucky him, right?
And huh? Say what? ....
"Gavin's?... no... but he's good with him." The question had taken her slightly by surprise, but she recovered quickly. And it amused her that Gavin had mentioned them, or was it more of a case of Vic being nosy? Either way, it didn't matter. It wasn't something she was hiding, per se, but it wasn't something she went around advertising. Though her memory was quite sharp, she couldn't recall what they had discussed those months ago, it must have been long ago, too long for sure. "I guess they have... I still don't know how we got to this stage," she mused, even after all this time it amused her how they started out. Who knew antagonising handsome strangers in lifts would get you a boyfriend?
And then there was that. Catching up she didn't mind, girls nights... not so much. She preferred guys nights. "Absolutely, I'm all for catching up," she acknowledged, deliberately choosing her words. Glancing out at the park she watched the boy play a bit more not wanting to make eye contact with Emily for the moment with her words. “I don’t need any advice, I have a healer doing that, but thanks for the offer. “ She gave a small smile, “I’ve had some issues that caused me to seek a healer. I’m getting better, but some days are just harder than others and unfortunately you caught me on one of those days.” She glanced to Emily, “I’m fine, really just working out the issues is all. I.. “ hesitating why was it so hard just to say it. “I left Charely though. I mean I actually left him and the girls, but the girls are just temporary.” So now she knew. She had stopped and talked with Charely a week after she left, but not much was resolved so honestly not much else to speak about really.
She chuckled a bit, “Well I’m not sure if tips can help, but he’s a boy so probably plenty of outside time, patience for their active levels, and if he’s anything like Bart plenty of frogs.” She watched the boy play a bit, “I think you are doing great so far, especially getting him involved in Gobstones it’s such a unappreciated sport.” Her love for the game was showing. She clapped a bit seeing the boy bump the stones, “Brilliant job” She called see him look if they were watching. “Encouragement is always the best thing for them.” She turned to her friend again. “You know to just owl if you ever need anything when it comes to him. I’ve been through plenty with my own.”
A frown fell on her face though, Orphaned how awful. “You are doing an amazing thing taking him in. He will be so loved and taken care of I just know it.” Encouragement was always a good idea for friends and new parents as well. “Nine what a fun age, they are more independent and you can actually go out and do things.” It was an important age.
Eyes lifted and a chuckle at the Gavin response, “Well I just wondered since you two seem to be an item now. I could see Gavin being good with children whether he would believe that or not.” Him and his dislike of contact and socializing, thought he was very good at the socializing even if he didn’t think so. “No one ever realizes where their paths will lead, but I’m glad you two are together. It’s nice to know that my two friends are happy together.” Added bonus when friends dated.
Vic didn’t even notice the wording all she heard was a yes in the catching up which would me a yes on going out. “Good we should plan something soon.” because they really should.
