"You know you're always welcome, and that includes Emma." If she was anything like Zeke then she'd make for an excellent coffee runner, or human paperweight, or something of use.

But as conversation shifted from him to her again, she found herself drawing in a deep breath. Happy was one of those words she'd never bothered to associate with anything but work. She was happy with the MLE, always had been... but now she had other things in her life she was happy about, and Gavin was one of those things. "Mmm you say that now," she mused at the whole 'wanting to meet him' thing. "He's easy enough to find if you know your way to the Senior Undersecretary's office, though he's usually sighted on level two as well." Such as when he was prying her from her desk work for lunch breaks where she would be deprived of sugary snacks unless she was lucky - or defiant. "Gavin's a good guy," she concluded, "I ran all the checks on him."

He was of course only one part of her family puzzle, Zeke made up a very important part of that. Despite the trouble he'd caused.

Emily was content with the silence that had fallen between them, because as easily as conversation flowed between them (by her standards at least), it was just as easy to sit and enjoy his presence. Only, it seemed to be too much to ask that he do the same. Emily exhaled, smirking slightly. "A couple of years ago I adopted a boy." That was the crux of it all, but still, she leant forward in her seat and rest her elbows on the table before continuing. "He's twelve and at Hogwarts now, a Gryffindor too," something Sabel could appreciate. "His name's Zeke."

There, she'd made her confession. Would she be admitted into heaven now?

Well, at least she was giving him some answers and not leaving him completely to figuring things out detective style. Senior Undersecretary. Level Two. Gavin. Child.

CHILD?!

Sabel was sure that his jaw hit the table with the force it dropped open with. As much as he knew it was rude, he couldn't bring it closed. He sat, stunned at the news, starting at Emily. A part of him was trying to discern if this was indeed the same woman he was supposed to meet. Perhaps she was an Emily, but not thee Emily, and was finding great amusement in stringing him along.

It was a foolish explanation, but with the news it almost made the most sense.

Of course, it was wonderful news. But it was just about the last thing he had actually expected. An adopted child nonetheless. Not her own flesh and blood. He had no issue with that, and found it almost more endearing in its strangeness. So, she was a mother now.

That single thought brought his jaw back up as a wide, child-like grin took the place of his shock. "Several years ago? Why didn't you say so in your letters?"

There weren't many between them, for reasons of discretion and because there simply had been no time. But there had been a few.

And he was a Gryffindor. Darn straight that made Sabel beam. Best house to get sorted into. Also one that seemed to have students constantly vying for trouble. A faint frown tickled on his brow. Kid would probably end up like a lot of the other Gryffindor's he knew, pursuing the steps of his mother.

His mother. Sabel shook his head and chuckled. "Now I've really got to meet your bloke." And by bloke, he meant boyfriend of course. But the kid too. He wanted to see what personality had managed to tangle itself in the complicated strings that made up Emily's heart. "Do you have a picture of him? Of your son?"

Yup, he wasn't going to let it go.
