Perhaps she'd take a half day if it wasn't for the fact that she felt the need to protect her employees and make sure nothing went wrong.

And now there were loud bird noises and some weird melody coming from somewhere in the department. She wasn't sure she wanted to know. But she needed to find out.

The Game Room, was it? It certainly seemed to be coming from there, the closer she got. What was going on? She did think it was rather odd, but her thoughts had been nothing compared to what she found once she arrived. Mariel stood in shock as she looked around the room. Where were her games? Her pool table, pinball machine.. mini gobstone arena?? And WHAT were they doing? Paint.. clay.. did they not understand the mess that it all would make??

Green eyes soon found Adam who looked as bemused as she was, then Saxon.. who was participating in this absurdity? And several others she did not know.. before she turned accusing eyes on one Ms. Harmony Skylark who seemed to be in charge of this mess. "What the hell is going on here?" she snapped, feeling the anger rising in her chest. Whose idea was it to transform a room on her level without so much as asking her? "Explain."

The Healer had given her a whole syringe-full. Well then. She took a seat on the little stool, almost fell off, but grabbed Harmony's arm to steady herself and siiiiiighed. "So-so cluuuumsy--oops--" she said and giggggggled a lot. Well then!

She wrapped the smock around her body in such a weird way, the ties were ALL wrong, but Ember didn't care. She just smiled and waaaaited for Harmony to get her started.

Until that obnoxiously rude woman pummeled into the room. And ruined the vibe. She stared so wide-eyed at the Games Head and eventually she just stood up. "You need a hug--and some of those Healer juices--they will mellow you out--like me---" she said and she suddenly hugged Mariel, so tightly, that she was sure to squeeze ANY stress out of her. YEP. STRESS BE GONE OKAY.

Normally, when Ember hadn't been prodded by the Healer's syringe, she would have been FURIOUS at someone talking so rudely to head. But right now...Ember wasn't getting angry with anyone.


When one of Harmony's fellow department heads stormed into the room demanding to know what was happening, the red head simply frowned at her. Merlin knew that wasn't a way to speak to someone you worked with and really, perhaps this woman should have gotten herself a checkup as she seemed to be in need of some anger management.

"I don't appreciate the way you're speaking to me, Mariel." Harmony's voice was as airy as ever but there was a slight change to her posture. She looked stronger, somehow. Offended also. You didn't treat fellow humans like this for no reason. It simply wasn't nice. The red head's vibe was seriously mellowed. "And if you would speak to me with kindness and respect, I'd be more than willing to discuss this with you. I'm merely doing what was asked of me by the ministry and St. Mungo's." So yeah, check your harsh vibes and then they could chat, mmkay?

But then Ember happened and though the woman's department head was concerned about the way she was acting, she did appreciate the hugging gesture she was extending to the unkind games and sports head.

Yes, maybe hugs would help.
