Promise to not hold back? Her words made him laugh quietly for a moment. Chloe or one of the twins would have said the same. But he knew that they would have eating the whole piece of cheesecake. "Just don't eat it all when you get to it," Tancred teased. He paused to take a sip of coffee and then added, "My kids would have gobbled the whole thing. They know cheesecake is one of my favourites."

When the woman told him who she was, he nodded his head. He was familiar with that name. "Nice to meet you, Emily," he responded. So this was the department head for Law Enforcement, then? She really was as young as they said. "I've read about you in the papers. It's nice to match finally a name to a face."


It amused her that he was returning the gesture, and indulging her with the staring game ... more or less. Though, she was blinking, even if not as often as most people usually would. Emily found herself returning the smile, chalk it down to the fact that she had food and her spontaneous company wasn't intolerable. She finished her crust, and afforded her thumb a lick so as not to waste the mayonnaise that had settled there.

Don't eat it all? Well now was that a challenge? She'd have thought so, and would have been happy enough doing so, but she still had an apple pie to consume and if she was lucky enough, a treat later. "Mine too," she confessed, "Though I don't discriminate, anything sweet has my approval..." but onto more interesting things. Kids. Not that they were interesting, but he didn't seem a great deal older than her. "You have many? Kids?" she asked curiously. Had this conversation happened over a year ago she'd have cared less, but these things were fast becoming a common topic of conversation.

"Likewise." Because thus far she was not regretting letting him sit here, and while she was at it, there was cheesecake to be had. Taking up her fork, she pulled the plate a little closer before spearing the end and raising it to her lips. It didn't get all the way to her mouth before he went and said that. The papers? .... "With all due respect, I don't care much for the media... they thrive on tragedy, controversy and their sole role is not to inform the community of news that is relevant to them, but to misinform them by feeding them propaganda against the very institutions which support their trade." Needless to say, she didn't want to know what it was that Tancred had read, it was probably a croc of a story anyway. Still, mentions of the Daily Prophet or other publications wasn't about to ruin her perfectly good day, and so with an appreciative smile, she popped the cheesecake in her mouth, relishing the creaminess.
