Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch Bright blue eyes looked from the top row of the machine and began making their way down past snack after snack. He was a little over halfway down and found a snack that would satisfy his needs for the moment. A hand reached into his pocket for some coins, but then the barking voice of the department head sounded.
The blond tried his best not to look like a deer in headlights, but the odds were he wasn't able to hide his initial surprise in time to go unnoticed.
His heart sank a bit when the fruit bowl on a nearby table was pointed out to them all. The bowl was something he was very much aware of and deliberately avoiding. Paperwork required energy and sugar rushes to get the job done, especially when one had stared at paper after paper after paper all morning long.
"Nearly done, boss," was all that Frankie responded with to the man. That was the truth, but his priorities currently lied elsewhere. And they did not involve the bowl of fruit. Was taking those extra laps an option? It honestly wouldn't have bothered the Auror any if it meant that he could indulge in a little cheat snack, without any judgement, before going back to that life-draining paperwork.
He looked from Bain to the fruit bowl to Ronan to Scott and back to Bain again. Well, this was ... fun.
