It wasn't like he made a habit of leaving his office, or inviting others in for small chats. No.
"It's a given he'll learn something while there. Possibly that Ashley's bossier in French, or maybe that Avery rambles more in French--I'll go with 'that he never wants to hear another drop of it'." But of course they could have some faith in the boy. They always seemed to have a lot to talk about, switching the language in which they did that shouldn't have been too much of a task, the girls did it everyday. Though in all fairness they did have more practice time, years of it actually. "Make up test though? He's failing?" Even after the Christmas they had in France? Perhaps he'd start insisting they use more French during sleepovers as well, as much as the girls liked going easy on him once he was frustrated enough.
So the tapestry HAD been here a while? Seriously? There was so much in this building that he didn't know about, including that new room the Minister had drawn to his attention over the break. It was disconcerting when you factored in how observant he considered himself to be. "That I can do." He agreed, reaching into the bag and pulling out two sandwiches...then a cupcake....a cinnamon roll...two Danish....Gavin's eyes shifted to her. "How's about I fetch you some water instead?" All this SUGAR, jeez Emily. He could feel the diabetes coursing through his veins just looking at it.
At first she was under the impression Gavin was being optimistic, but her mildly surprised expression soon subsided. "Those are more likely, though I doubt he could like the language any less than he already does." He could be immature about it too, which annoyed her more than his failures. Fingers in ears, eyes shut and la la la... was not the correct way to problem solve or learn. What he needed to learn, was that problems didn't disappear just like that. They also didn't just disappear if they were set on fire, put in the bin, hid under the bed, or taken away by his owl. "Dismally," she acknowledged. She didn't like his chances of being sorted into Ravenclaw, something they had discussed on more than one occasion. "He's managing to just pass most of his subjects now, but math and French are almost a lost cause." She'd tried her best. Hours of tuition, all her patience, and very little to show for it. This parenting thing was hard work.
She did have her reasons for wanting him to unpack, and for her to quickly disappear until he introduced himself to, and accepted her spoils. Though, she didn't get very far when she heard his question about the water. Water? No. She had enough of that in her office, she didn't need anymore thank you. Not to say she drank much of it, but it was there. "A girl's gotta eat, doesn't she?" she chuckled over her shoulder, brushing it all off and grinning as she turned back to the coffee station. See, good mood already, and all because of the promise of good coffee - and his company, of course. The Senior Undersecretary should be taking notes on this experience.
Two cups of joe, and a hint of cinnamon in hers - something she couldn't get enough of - and she returned to their table, a quick glance trailing over the couple at the table across from them. Familiar faces. One of them, one of her own. Alysson received a nod from her, and a smile too. Good mood, see. "I'll have some water when I get back to the office, how's that?" she negotiated, pushing Gavin his coffee while raising her own to her lips.
