Jasper's little sister, Margaret. A pleasant surprise.

"You know me, always love a moment to brood," he replied, his tone teasing. He was hardly the brooding type, at least in his own opinion.

Well - except about his feelings for Emma, he supposed. But even then, he didn't think he brooded, he just...er, couldn't think of the word for it. But there was one, surely. Heh.

His expression matched the amusement on hers. "Well, I imagine the room will speculate whether we sit together or apart," he answered, "so I'd say we might as well have a drink together. Far more fun that way." Though he had come here with the intention of alone time, he wouldn't mind her company.

Maggie’s smile widened, something warm and genuine settling in when his surprise gave way to amusement. "Good," she said, pleased. “I’d hate to interrupt a perfectly respectable brood only to be sent away."

She slid into the empty chair without ceremony, setting her bag at her feet and angling herself toward him, posture relaxed but attentive. There was an ease to the way she settled in, like she belonged there just as much as he did, and perhaps knew it.

“As for the room speculating,” Maggie added, glancing around briefly before returning her gaze to him, eyes bright, “I think they’d be disappointed if we didn’t give them something to talk about.”

Her attention flicked to his tea, curiosity softening her expression.

“So,” she continued, tone light but interested, “what brings you in today? Nostalgia? Thirst? Or are you just trying to avoid being anywhere you’re expected to be?”

A small, teasing smile tugged at her lips.

“Because I can respect all three.”
