Tori was torn between watching the quill zoom across the paper and watching Bones' face for any reactions. She would have liked to set her own quill to work, but using it as a recording device tucked over her ear would have to do.
"I would expect you to," she confirmed his professional answer. Hmm, how to respond now just as professionally. "Wellllll," Tori stalled drawled, because she didn't want to get her coworker into any more trouble than he currently was, "it was hard for me to see what exactly went down because I was still sitting at the table. It looked like Jorge shouted at Simon though, maybe jabbed him in the chest with his finger. It was hard to see everything until I got up, because of the angle and the other people around." She made sure to sound very unsure in her statement here.
And oop, she'd made him chuckle. SLIP-UP ALERT. "I mean that I pretended to be his supervisor from the DP," Tori laughed along with the chuckle. She was a master of fake laughs, just ask her frenemies. "I stepped in like I had some authority to represent the paper. Really, Jorge's probably above me on the totem pole at work. I just got promoted from being a stringer, mhmm." And that's all there was to it, yepppppppp. Tori tilted her head and gave Bones an absolutely angelic expression. Vic simply offered her a small smile as she stalled and dodged his question to get into more details. She was good, he was going to give her that and if this case was anything serious, he wouldn't be admiring her wits.
So, the said journalist had provoked the young Auror first and was the first to make a scene. Vic could understand how Ms. Bunbury here was unable to see everything so clearly, yes, that part was obviously entirely true. He scribbled incomprehensible doodles on his parchment with his own quill.
The impersonating issue though...yeah, he grinned with a nod at her. "Congratulations on the promotion." He shifted the conversation to that part, not willing to dwell more into the first one since it could be used against her if he dragged more out of her mouth. Vic was going to take her statement as a legitimate one, despite the obvious dramatics, and help her friend. A bit. Well, help him enough so that he wouldn't stay in those dang tunnels for more than he already had. "Alright, then. Thank you for your time." He placed down his quill and slapped his palms on his legs as in getting ready to stand up. "As for the work conditions here, they're the best any underground tunnel could offer. Our Department Head is doing a great job in maintaining a proper environment for all the employees, but of course we're all eager to find our way back to the nest." He hated, hated the tunnels. Only his colleagues were allowed to hear him whine, though-- His colleagues and January. |
