She was talking with somebody who really didn't want to be talking with anybody at all. Heh. "Just kidding. So what's the reason for the anti-socialness?" The anti-socialness that obviously didn't happen.

She caught that wink from him. Yeah, we saw you, William Williamson. He was going to be so much fun to work with.

She shook her head at the offer for seconds. "Maybe later. I should really start on my main course, I guess," she said. Then the topic shifted just that quickly back to his name. "So what's the second W stand for? Wait, no. Let me guess." She paused as she attempted a good thought process over it. "Will?" It was the only thing she could think of that went with the theme of the other two names he had.

His wave in another direction distracted her, and she looked over to see, or...hear, somebody singing and dancing their way into the area. "Well, that's one way to make an introduction," she said with a laugh. With WWW's dessert mountain, and this lady's song and dance, Daphne should really step it up. She listened as he pointed out the song and dance lady and a few others he knew. She caught that little pest comment but decided not to point that out, since they'd moved on to something else now.

"Of course I loved it," she said. "Oh, and I have to tell you this. It's going to come across as bragging, but I'm so proud of it. We restrained a loose Swedish Short-Snout a few months back. I got an award for it and all. We've got her back at a reserve now, but it was quite an ordeal." She'd been the researcher on the task, of course. She might have elaborated on that, but the song and dance lady, the one that worked in pest control, was making her way over. Daphne didn't say anything. How could she? Nothing she could say could keep up with the extreme hyperness this other lady exhibited.

So Daphne just smiled for now. Hii, fellow co-worker.

Only not really because then she'd have NO coworkers--and what a sad and lonely life she'd LIVE. Aaaaand he was speaking to a WOMAN. HMMM. DId he LIKE this woman?!?! Ember thought--MAYBE she saw little hearts over their heads--and it was done. In her mind--she was sooooo shipping them together--and suddenly--

IT CAME TO HER

She would FIND out who this woman was as SOOOOON As work started again, and she would GET THEM TOGETHER.

CUPID EMBER, HERE SHE COOOOOMES!

She even shot a wink at William and gave him a thumbs up of approval-SHE WAS PRETTY AND TALKATIVE. William could use the positive vibes in his love life, right? Maybe she would speak to this woman later. Put in a good word for William--WHAT IF SHE PRETENDED TO HAVE A CRUSH ON WILLIAM TO MAKE HER JEALOUS?!

SIGH. She would have to think these plans through--because they were just TOO brilliant to pass up!


"Oooh," William joked, smiling genuinely now, "my bad, did I admit to being anti-social aloud? It's nothing personal, it's just-" well, for him it was personal. He wasn't sure he wanted to say anything to Daphne just yet, considering they had only met. "-nothing. Don't worry about it." He stuffed a forkful of something into his mouth so he wouldn't even be TEMPTED to bring up no one important nothing.

Anyyyyyywaaaaaaaay. The guessing game about his middle name was much lighter stuff. Much better. "Will is my first name, short for William, only it never really stuck as a nickname for me." William laughed that off. "Willy, now, that stuck, but I don't think I'm cool enough to pass as Will. Guess again." His middle name was so old-timey, she'd probably never get it.

Yes, that Ember. Knew how to make an introduction alright. William's eyes flicked toward her for a brief instant, as she was likely the topic of discussion at many tables right now. At least she was positive, right? He just gave her one of those brows-up, firm smiles again and sort of leaned toward Daphne. "Warn me if she starts heading over here. I pranked her real good one time and now she thinks I'm into yoga and meditating...." When he was more into couch sitting, dog walking and sleeping.

Oh ho ho, she had restrained a Short-Snout before? "Impressive," William waved his fork at her in a bit of a bow, if forks took bows. Should he one-up her story? Now WAS the time.... "I raised a dragon once," he went for it, all casual like. "Hatched it at Hogwarts and brought it up back in Romania." Oh he definitely got all the credit and the blame, lots of that too for that one. Heh.
