"Oh, you are a life saver," she said, getting up to take a sandwich and the coffee. "I'm starving, thanks. Seriously, what would I do without you?" See, this was exactly why she made the right decision seeing her today.. or if she would have called her in.
She gave her a grin as she returned to her seat, then waved a dismissive hand as she shook her head. "No, no, no.. now is perfect. I could use a teensy break." She took a bite of her sandwich then gave Vic an odd look at her words. Her do something wrong? Seriously... "Well.. I did want to talk to you about your job performance actually.." Mariel gave her a little smirk just to tease her a bit.
But Vic was here to visit.. or something else. She wasn't completely sure, though she assumed by not 'work-related' that she meant a social visit type of break, though maybe it was something else entirely. "Oh you did..?" she started, figuring she'd soon find out, though it seemed her friend wanted to wait on it. She nodded as she took a sip of coffee about to speak on the reason she wanted to see her today, when the other woman dropped a bombshell. "Whoa.. wait.. what?" Oh work-related things were going to wait a minute and the brunette stared at the woman in front of her with something of a bemused expression. "A dinner date? With whom?" She was assuming that she meant not Charely, but this was the first of any potential dating she had heard. Vic got a vague little nod as Mariel thought over her words. "Oh, I'm fine.." She had some small, conflicting thoughts that she didn't really want to dwell on, but she was alright. "But.. I want to hear about this date first." Mhmm, everything else was on hold for now. "A life saver? Nah just motherly instincts." She chuckled, "I am older than you and all so maybe we will call it older sister instincts or something." Not mother for Mariel she wasn't that old. "You would wither away and then I'd be without a friend and the girls would be without their godmother so that isn't allowed." She joked a bit. "Though I think she have someone now that would take my place in making sure you wouldn't." She eyed her, yes the journalist she needed some updated details.
Vic was glad she wasn't interrupting too much and if Mariel wanted to see her, but she was still curious as to why. She knew her head wasn't fully here, but she was doing her best and really had thrown herself into her work to avoid some things in her life. Though she knew the smirk was a joking one she couldn't help but feel uneasy even if it was just all in her head at Mariel's words. "my performance? Is this an evaluation I wasn't aware of?" She joked a bit more nervously than she wanted it to be. Maybe this was an evaluation or maybe her time away was not getting deadlines that she needed, though she thought she was hitting most of them. Her mind was probably just making it bigger than it really was.
Her laughter soon filled the office as she saw the reaction she knew she was going to get. Though she still wanted to be talking about work. Mariel wasn't seriously going to leave her hanging like this. She shook her head though, "Don't get any ideas." That's all she needed it was bad enough her son was involved. She rolled her eyes at the fine, "Fine I'll talk first, but then you are spilling. It's only fair." She got a little more comfortable leaning back in the chair. "I got a letter from Bart asking me to meet him in Hogsmeade that he would be with a professor so he had the permission. Here him and a friend set me up with his potions professor he adores right now. I got to the three broomsticks to find a note from him saying to enjoy." She shook her head laughing at the memory. "Cosgrach came and thankfully took humor in it as well, so we had dinner and talked a bit since we were there anyway." She had a great time really, but it was too soon for any of that.
