"It is a very nice surprise," she beamed at the very excited 7 year old as she spoke back to her in Spanish, though much slower. "Uncle Jorge will be happy to see you both."
As Isa bounced into Sting's arms, Mariel looked at the girl's mother, still smiling happily at the lovely surprise of seeing them. Oh, so Jorge didn't know either.. it was really so sweet of her to come and bring Isa to the event. And, by the looks of it, she was having a great time already. "I'm really glad you both made it out then," she told Cassandra, using English again as she did. "We'll have to find Jorge in a bit, maybe all grab a bite to eat.. or maybe Isa would want to try out one of the Junior Quidditch brooms." Maybe she could show them around a little while she made her rounds if they wanted. The brunette hoped that she'd run into Ethan and his family as well, though she wasn't completely sure that they were coming. Chloe was still so small.
She turned her green eyes on the young girl as she spoke again and she was fairly sure she understood, though she didn't know if she meant for her to take a picture of the two of them or if she wanted Mariel in the picture as well. She decided on both. "Alright.." she said, pulling a camera out of her bag, "but then Auntie Mariel needs a hug too." Holding up the camera in front of her face, she snapped a picture, then handed the camera to Cassandra before sliding in on the wasps other side. "Then I'll take yours next," she added, laughing. As she was waiting for the woman to take their next picture, she glanced out at the small crowd, noting a handful of MLE people milling around. Good.. as long as they were doing the job she had discussed with Emily without needlessly bothering any of their guests. And also found some time to enjoy themselves.. she wanted everyone to have a good time.

Did Sting dance, OH BOY YES HE DID! His dance moves made all the wasps just buuuuuzz with pleasure. Without a moment of hesitation the wasp began wiggling his stinger around and waving his hands in the air. He even grabbed the little girl's hand and gently twirled her around. Mascotting was so much fun!
Sting gently wrapped his BIG waspy hands around the cute little girl. Ah, the sweet smell of wonderful fans. Smiling REAL nice for the camera and....
SNAP!
That must've been a good one ! Taking pictures with the fans was ALWAYS the best part of any Quidditch game. Sting extended his arms in the air as he waited for the second SNAP!
Isa watched as Sting started dancing around and she bounced and danced along with him. Grinning towards her mother and Auntie Marie. They should join and she waved her little arms trying to get them to start dancing too. Clapping a bit as she mentioned Uncle Jorge, “Where is he?” she continued to speak in her native language since Mariel seemed to understand most of it and if she didn’t her mother was translating.
As she danced around the Wasp she heard brooms. “I want to ride on a broom, can I ride on a broom. Please.. pleassssse.” Auntie Mariel would take her to ride on a broom wouldn’t she? Even if her mother would say it’s too dangerous. Just because she had an injury didn’t mean Isa shouldn’t be allowed to try.
Hugging the Wasp as Auntie Mariel and her mother took pictures she was way too excited, this one might be her favorite. Though she hadn’t seen the others, but still he was exciting. Waving Mariel over she needed to get into the picture too. “Come get the picture with me!!” She wanted a picture with Auntie she had none with her yet. Looking back up at the Wasp she grinned, “You are fun!” She hugged him again as Mariel came over to get a picture with them.

She smiled giving a small wave towards a few that she knew, seeing them happy with their kids and special others made the thirty five year old a bit down. Her biggest career event being second in command at this and she had no one to share it with. Brilliant wasn't it?
Ordering a Parkin's Pincer Pulled pork sandwiches, a snitch cookie, and a Gillywater, Vic paid and found a seat. Watching the little Cannon balls jumping around she took a bite and looked around as she was eating. Noticing a man siting alone she gave a small smile. "Having fun today, I hope?" Was he here alone?
He was just finished his fourth cookie, and was about to leave (since, after all Simon and Vivi were already in this area) when a woman approached him and sat down.
She looked sort of familiar. Like he had seen her before. But there were hundreds of faces that Legend passed on a daily basis so maybe she was one of them? "Oh yeah. Loads of fun. Loads of it." Legend forced a smile because-ew. Quidditch. "The food's my favourite part so far." This time his smile was real, because THAT was the truth at least. "How about you?"

Taking a bite of her pulled pork, Victoria swallowed and sipped her water before turning her attention back to the man. Was he being sarcastic? She wondered why the man would even be here if he really wasn't having fun. Maybe she was just thinking too much into it. "Don't have a favorite player to go see?" This was very interesting unless he was being forced her with a child or if he was working. Could that be it? Was he with MLE or Accident and Catastrophes? She pondered the thought for moment. "The food is very good." From what little she had eaten so far at least.
Was she having a good time, she looked around a moment as she thought about her answer. "Everything is running smoothly, the players that said they would come came, the fans seem to be enjoying themselves, and like you said the food is a favorite." Her smile grew a bit, "Yes I'm having a wonderful time thank you for asking. I'm Victoria Maroon by the way, Games and Sports." She didn't feel her title was necessary, it was just a friendly conversation.

"Always ice cream." He nodded and grinned a little more, squeezing Lorelai's hand as he finished speaking. "Lilah'll want chocolate, and we know that there will be a big mess." Even if it was a super dooper adorable little mess, obviously better than a wailing crying mess. He hoped it wouldn't be the latter, anyway.
"Listen to your mother. And apologise, right now." To each other, to their mother, to him as well. Reluctantly letting go of his wife's hand, he motioned to the kiosk with his head, and strolled over there, not wanting to leave her alone with the pains for too long. He returned, cautiously juggling pink popcorn, blue candyfloss and a burger. He'd charmed the confectionery on his way back, and he was hoping that the wand clutched in between all of the food went unnoticed. He was also hoping the bite out of his sons burger went unnoticed, too.
Corbin rolled his eyes, but hoped that his mum was too engrossed in her magazine to see, before turning to his parents and muttering. "Sorry." He even turned to Saffron afterwards and managed "I apologise." Super rude word back. Because he knew that that was slightly different and didn't exactly mean the same thing, and the whispered word definitely counteracted it. He was tempted to stand back on HER toes, but he thought better and wincing settled for barging past her to meet their dad with the food.
There was no way he was missing Auntie Kai and ice cream. And Nana Stemp could be super strict if she knew they'd done something wrong.
"Fanks." Muffled and slightly annoyed, Corb managed to be somewhat slightly gracious, although he was hoping his parents missed the scowl. He ASSUMED that the HUGE bit missing from his burger was some sort of punishment, but he still stuffed his face with it, letting ketchup dribble down his chin. He was seven, after all. "Oliver? Cool." Kaia and Oliver here? An aunt AND a basically-uncle? That meant that THEY were practically celebrities!
Lorelai rolled her eyes, put her free hand on her hip and sighed. "I'm pregnant, not dying. I've done this plenty of times before. Don't make me hit you and blame my hormones." Had he not witnessed her weekly cupcake making sessions with ALL of their children? Maybe not all of them all the time because Corbin and Saffron sometimes found excuses to get out of it and just eat them instead. She leant in slightly against him, smiled and kissed his cheek. "Then you can clean her up like your daddy duties say you should." And she would have a camera out to catch the chocolatey mess. Much like always.
The apologies weren't anything she was exceptionally proud of, but she would deal with it and nodded at both of her children but said nothing to them until her husband returned with their food and she leant back against him. "So, Mr. Professional... Aside from seeing Kai and Oliver, what should we be doing whilst you're working?" Because she wouldn't mind just getting herself a chair and watching him work and telling him repeatedly how good he looked whilst working.
It was a habit.
"Sorry...." Only to Mummy and Daddy though. Corbin got a scowl and she stole some of his candyfloss, making sure to lick it as best as she could so it was all gross and sticky. Ha. Take that, Corbybutt! That was totally in response to the fact he PUSHED past her and got his food first. Either way, she thanked her father for the PINK (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) popcorn and shoved some in her mouth before swiping her hand across Corbin's face to get rid of the ketchup. "Don't. Be. Gross. People are HERE." People like professional quidditch players who would think they were SILLY CHILDREN if he went around with ketchup on his gob!!
"I think we should leave Daddy to work and go see Uncle Oliver, MUMMY." Or someone else.
Not bad, hmmm, [b] “It’s not bad now, but remember Cameron you aren’t getting any younger. Those boys are going to be the up and coming and they are going to not care how much you mentored them. You need somewhere where you can really shine. My team could be the perfect place. You could be the face of the catapults. She eyed him a bit and smiled sweetly.
Chuckling a little more flirtatiously she had her moves to get what she wanted? Not that she wouldn’t anyway, “Well of course you would have to bring your manager involved and everything has to be done in the off season, but let’s face it dear. You aren’t getting any younger and a nice size pay raise with a catapults contract could help you out being a single parent and all.” Of course she was up on the personal lives
of the players she wanted, that was a good tactic to have. “I know she has to be getting more and more expensive. Clothes, makeup, trying to impress my step son that she’s dating. All that takes a good bit of money.” Yes she would use that idiot boy if she needed to, honestly what any girl would see in him she wasn’t sure.
She knew he made plenty with the tornadoes, but she was willing to offer a great deal more. She typically wouldn’t waste money on an older player like this but his statistics didn’t lie, he was still up on his game.
Well yeah. Just mind him that he was getting older. Thirty-five years old most of his glory days behind him. Well that did sound nice the face of the catapults. Cameron Bayless the face of the catapults. But the tornadoes they needed him. He was still the face of Tutshill right? It was where he grew up.
Cam just started at her for a moment. He didn't really want even think about offseason things today. Besides that he didn't even want to think about bring traded or the possibility of being traded. "Well I will consider having a offseason meeting with you and your team." Not likely just let her hear what she wants.
A furry rose in Cameron, using his daughter to seal and deal. Cam sure wasn't down for that. "Don't you ever bring up my daughter." He was so upset that he over looked the mention of Cinna dating. A topic that he was still uneasy about. How he didn't see that with those two? He felt terrible. A failed parent. Wasn't that the type of thing mom's just knew? Obviously, Victoria had known for a while. And apparently so did she. Cam had a lot to think about day. A lot.
"Well I really should be heading over to the tent with my team. Thanks for your consideration." He really didn't have time to deal with things that could be dealt with later. This was something that could be dealt with much later or never.

Isa's excitement was so fun to watch and was certainly contagious. Who couldn't have a great time seeing a young girl's smile and laugh brought on from an overgrown bee? Mariel couldn't help but to laugh along herself as they danced together and she moved in for the picture. Sting really was a hit with the fans and she gave him a very approving smile for being so wonderful with her pretty much niece.
The 29 year old slid into place on the other side of Sting, her arm sort of awkwardly around his back as she set about getting a picture with him and Isa. Hearing the girl's question, she spoke back in Spanish, "I don't know, sweetheart. We will find him soon." She knew he was around here somewhere but lost track of him in the process as she was making her rounds around the stadium to make sure everything was running smoothly. But she did want to see him soon enough.
Oh of course she wanted to ride a broom, what child wouldn't? "Of course.. if it's alright with your mother." She looked to Cassandra. Mariel wasn't exactly sure how she would feel about it with her own Quidditch injury and she wouldn't do anything against her wishes, but they took safety measures. "The Junior Quidditch brooms are quite safe," she added to her in English. "Just a step up from the toy brooms really. And there are cushioning charms on the ground below the course." Yeah, they couldn't go very far with them but the steering and increased height made it seem like the children had more liberty with them.
She smiled for the picture then turned to Isa again. "There are a few more here. Have you seen any others?" Mariel did not know the Spanish word for mascot, though she supposed it could be the same as in English so she left it out hoping the girl understood. What did they want to do next? Perhaps she could show them around a bit while she checked on things or she could take them over to the brooms if she wanted a ride.

Simon returned her nod in kind. "It is nice to meet you as well, Miss Brighton." And as she had identified herself as ministry it would likely not be the last time they saw each other as his hats tended to keep him hoping around the building. He noticed the blush that suddenly graced her face and the auror tried not to feel uncomfortable about it. Just a woman being a bit silly when he was just doing his job around her.
And then she left his side and he was somewhat glad to be done with pleasantries, this way he could focus his attention on what else was going on. Like Selina's wild waving in his direction as she noticed him in the crowd. He gave her a much more subdued wave of his own but with politely friendly meaning all the same. Gosh, it had been awhile since he had seen her, even longer that Kurumi since the other young woman had been back and forth to the ministry for certain matters. However his thoughts were interrupted as the woman...Ember approached him once more.
With a drink for him.
"Oh...um...thank you," he said tentatively accepting the beverage and being polite in response to the gesture. Although he wasn't sure he would actually drink it. At least until he discretly checked it out. One had to be cautious at times just to be on the safe side. No dosing of the security please. Noticing Legend and the gesture sent his way, the auror returned it in kind. Nothing further was needed between the two of them, especially as they worked separately.
Ember repeated her first name to him as if unsure if she had said it or not before the had left and come back. He merely let it go, instead moving on to the other comment about making new friends in the ministry. "Well I'm sure you will do just that," Simon said, knowing she was outgoing enough to do so.
Ember wasn't sure how Simon was taking this. Maybe she was being really weird. Actually, she probably WAS being really weird. And he wasn't DRINKING his drink as well. It made her little face fall.
Maybe he couldn't eat or drink on the job?! Had she just done him a disservice? Taking a bite out of her sugar cookie, she siiighed. "I am sorry--you probably don't WANT to take a drink from me--but I was just letting you know that I appreciate everyone here!" she said softly, biting her lip in sudden nervousness. She needed to get back on her game. She had making so many people uncomfortable lately that she just wanted to diiiie!
ONLY TRYING TO BE NICE AND HELPFUL, PEOPLE.
SHe twirled a piece of her turquoise hair in her finger and nipped at her cookie again. "I--I'm sorry--anyways--" she just felt awkward, and her cheeks were soooo red. Well then. She just had to smile and muck through this! "You probably want to be going back to your...duties, then, hmm?"

Bhuvana wasn't even that sure why she was here. She didn't particularly enjoy Quidditch, but something about this made her want to come. She hadn't put effort into appearing to want to be here, in fact, her expression looked more like it was in pain, but she was here. Which was unusual.
Cleo sipped her gillywater daintily as she navigated the room. She was here to get an autograph for her brother, who read about this happening somewhere and immediately wrote to her from Beauxbatons. In fact, her maman had received a letter later that day that said he tried to run away. Ah, Cole, the enfant terrible. As soon as she finished this drink, and maybe said hello to some people, before she got some signatures for Cole. And maybe Hazel, too. She could find some Hogwarts graduate for that one.

Oh yeah, and the other stuff. "I'll definitely be sure to check those out. The games especially." But probably a little while after she ate. After all they were supposed to wait an hour or something after eating before being active. Or was that just swimming? Eh, either way, she was waiting.
And she took the extra cupcake, as she should. It wasn't every day there was free food, but it wasn't every day you got even more free food. She should enjoy it while she could. Saxon gave the young lady a smile when she had thanked her for the help. "Oh, no. No need for any types of payment or anything like that. Its all free." Having to pay for stuff might deter people from coming to the event, not all together, but it could be a factor.
"Excellent, they're brilliant games, and the tents with the players are interesting as well." Meeting them, that is. Not that something absolutely crazy was happening in there. Though, Saxon didn't know for sure about that. The games were interesting too, being able to play, or participate alongside quidditch players, something one shouldn't skip out on. Not something that happened all the time. "I hope you enjoy the rest of your day here, and have a wonderful time." Saxon said, the little smile still on her.

Legend shook his head at her question, He may not even like the sport but even he had a favourite player."Oh no, I do. Alexis Chosen, chaser on the Magpies." He leaned in a bit closer to the woman as he lowered his voice. "Though less so because of how she plays and more so because she's my sister." So it was like expected, you know? She had to be his favourite. "Don't tell her that though." Yeah? Secret between just the two of them. Legend and this woman stranger. Sounded completely smart and logical. Especially since she recognized good food.
His eyes shifted away from the woman and he glanced around the area quickly before focusing back on the woman. Just for the purpose to security. He had to make sure he was still doing his job after all. "Who's your favourite player?" If she had one that was. Er-yeah everything did seem to be running smoothly and he simply bobbed his head to this, it was an interesting thing to say but it was true. Only a few more hours and hopefully the event would end with no problems at all.
A Games and Sports employee? He should have GUESSED. Who else would note the success of the event than someone who probably helped plan it. "Nice to meet you Victoria." The blonde held out his hand and smiled a real smile this time. "Legend Chosen, MLE."

No payment? Cool, free food. That was nice.
Cora nodded. "Yes, they definitely seem to be." The games being brilliant and the players' tents being interesting, that is. Definitely a really cool event. She was glad she had come.
She gave the woman one last smile. "Thank you. Have a good day." And now she just had to decide where to sit. Hmmmm.

Rebecca was really starting to think that he might not even be worth the money she was planning on offering, maybe he was a has been that she was wasting her time, though he did say he’d consider. She’d take that at least and her small smile had never left her lips. “I will be expecting an owl.” He better be good for his word, he didn’t want to know what happened if he wasn’t.
Oh she hit a nerve? Well this was nice, she was getting somewhere. “I wasn’t bringing her into anything, just stating facts. I was a child once and I have a step child. So I can relate to the expense of a teenager.” Not really, she didn’t deal with the child if she didn’t have to, but the man didn’t need to know that.
Oh he was going to leave, well that was fine, she obviously got to him. He wasn’t forgetting her anytime soon, but no one ever did. Getting up she stuck out her hand. “I will be looking forward to doing business with you soon Mr. Baylass. If you need anything before then just owl my office.” She turned and headed towards the tent. Now to make sure her players were there and being treating well.

Finding Uncle Jorge sounded like fun and we meant Auntie Mariel was going to spend more time with her. This was great! Plus the mascot was exciting and she wanted to dance around with it more. Giving a huge smile for the camera as her mother took the picture of her and Auntie Mariel, the seven year old couldn’t be happier.
SHE COULD RIDE A BROOM!!! Isa jumped at her words and clapped excitedly. This was going to be the best, but then the rest of her words registered and she looked at her mother. In Spanish begging her mom, “Mommy please, can I please ride the brooms? I won’t get hurt I promise! Auntie Mariel says it’s alright.” So it was fine, see if she said it was it had to be. She heard them speaking in English again and got annoyed, she hated that she couldn’t understand everything. So she decided to wander away and look for something else. The food smelled good, maybe mommy would buy her a snack.
Seeing cupcakes and cookies Isa bounced a bit, “Can I have one, can I please?” she looked at both adults and looked around as Mariel spoke again. “There are? I haven’t.” Could they see all the mascots? That would be so fun!
SPOILER!!: Legend

She had to be his favourite. "Don't tell her that though." Yeah? Secret between just the two of them. Legend and this woman stranger. Sounded completely smart and logical. Especially since she recognized good food.
His eyes shifted away from the woman and he glanced around the area quickly before focusing back on the woman. Just for the purpose to security. He had to make sure he was still doing his job after all. "Who's your favourite player?" If she had one that was. Er-yeah everything did seem to be running smoothly and he simply bobbed his head to this, it was an interesting thing to say but it was true. Only a few more hours and hopefully the event would end with no problems at all.
A Games and Sports employee? He should have GUESSED. Who else would note the success of the event than someone who probably helped plan it. "Nice to meet you Victoria." The blonde held out his hand and smiled a real smile this time. "Legend Chosen, MLE."
Alexis Chosen, Victoria had seen the name a few times and even saw the trading cards go past her desk for approval. A perk of being division manager is you usually got to know the names of all the players. “She’s a good one to have as a favorite player.’ She grinned and then looked at him curiously as he leaned closer to her. Vic couldn’t help but chuckle at his reasoning. “Well it is an obligation to have her as a favorite then.” Taking a sip of her water she laughed, “Your secret is safe with me, don’t worry.” Giving a playful wink in the process.
She watched him glance around and thought maybe he was looking for someone. Maybe he wasn’t just alone. Well whoever he was waiting on she hoped they’d be around and not stand him up or anything. She went to take another bite of her sandwich when he said something, “Oh, well” She thought a moment. “Honestly I’m not sure I have a favorite. I fell out of the British League when I lived in Australia and when I moved back and joined the Quidditch team at the ministry, I’ve just had to deal with all of them, so I haven’t really found a favorite and all of my old favorites have retired.”
Like Xavier, he was now the owner of a team. Merlin when did she get so old.
She smiled sweetly at the man, Oh MLE well that made sense to why he was looking around. “Very nice to meet you as well Mr. Chosen. Thank you for being here to work today, we really do appreciate the security. I do hope you are trying to have some fun too though.” She’d hate to think they were all just working and bored or hating the day.
Icarus shifted a little, turning and looking around the event and when she spoke he looked back at her. "Oh? A halfblood? I have a cousin who's a halfblood. Goes to Hogwarts now." He said and shrugged, Connor was a doofus if anything and a bit of a baby. But whatever.. "Oh? You study in London, or?" He was curious where she was, not that he couldn't apperate wherever he needed to be, right? Right. "I'm studying History of Magic, In Paris though. I thought a change of scenery would be nice and it is said to be the most beautiful city in the world." And the women were nice there too.
Bee smiled. "Yeah. Dad's magic, mom's not." Her mother loved having a magical husband and magical children. Made the housework much easier to accomplish. Bianca nodded. "Yep. My brother has a flat in the city already cuz he works at the Ministry so it was the best arrangement living wise." Even though she was going to try and get a job and get her own place ASAP. Living with Brad meant she couldn't ever have fun. "That sounds...interesting. The Paris part. Never cared much for history." She wrinkled her nose a bit. "I can imagine. I want to visit there sometime."

If she did then more power to her and she knew a great divorce attorney she can refer her too. "She's a big girl Br...." CHOKING CHOKING!!! Athena Smith was choking on her words and she quickly ducked to kneel down next to Brad so that she wasn't as obvious. Holy Harpies! "she... she....." nope she couldn't do words. instead she turned her head and put her face on his shoulder. "Merlin, just smite me."
Brad had just kind of been staring at his sister and this mystery man. He was still listening to Athena, but barely. "Course not. I'll stop it before she gets a chance." Which was why he was here in the first place. He was drawn away from his sister by Athena's mini freak out. He raised his eyebrow as his friend buried her face in his shoulder. "I know I smell amazing but all you had to do was ask. Freaking out was completely uncalled for."
Lorelai rolled her eyes, put her free hand on her hip and sighed. "I'm pregnant, not dying. I've done this plenty of times before. Don't make me hit you and blame my hormones." Had he not witnessed her weekly cupcake making sessions with ALL of their children? Maybe not all of them all the time because Corbin and Saffron sometimes found excuses to get out of it and just eat them instead. She leant in slightly against him, smiled and kissed his cheek. "Then you can clean her up like your daddy duties say you should." And she would have a camera out to catch the chocolatey mess. Much like always.
The apologies weren't anything she was exceptionally proud of, but she would deal with it and nodded at both of her children but said nothing to them until her husband returned with their food and she leant back against him. "So, Mr. Professional... Aside from seeing Kai and Oliver, what should we be doing whilst you're working?" Because she wouldn't mind just getting herself a chair and watching him work and telling him repeatedly how good he looked whilst working.
It was a habit.
"Sorry...." Only to Mummy and Daddy though. Corbin got a scowl and she stole some of his candyfloss, making sure to lick it as best as she could so it was all gross and sticky. Ha. Take that, Corbybutt! That was totally in response to the fact he PUSHED past her and got his food first. Either way, she thanked her father for the PINK (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) popcorn and shoved some in her mouth before swiping her hand across Corbin's face to get rid of the ketchup. "Don't. Be. Gross. People are HERE." People like professional quidditch players who would think they were SILLY CHILDREN if he went around with ketchup on his gob!!
"I think we should leave Daddy to work and go see Uncle Oliver, MUMMY." Or someone else.
Anyone but Corbin.
Gross, gross Corbin.
"Plenty." Five, if they were counting numbers. Adam laughed inwardly, knowing that if anyone had experience of this, and was pretty darn good at it, it was Lorelai Stemp. "No hitting, c'mon. Don't want to damage this, do we?" Gesturing at his face with his free hand, he offered a faux-pleading look. He was gorgeous, she wouldn't ruin that, would she? "Daddy duties, eh? I think I'll be reading those again." Adam laughed a little and shook his head. Of course he'd clean Lilah up, he always did - but Merlin, for a little girl she couldn't half make such a huge mess.
After nodding at his daughters apology and giving her a kiss on the top of her forehead - a feat that nearly had the tall man crouch - he turned back to his wife, talking to her and their children now. "Well, there's shooting and beating things, against professionals. The kids might want to come and try out the new brooms, too." He pointed over to where he'd be working, taking a moment to scan the horizon and find it. Of course, he'd only let them try the junior ones at most, maybe not even them but... Well, that was if they wanted to, anyway.
"Ew, you're gross." Corbin pushed his sister away from his candy floss, and tried to pick out the sticky licked bits. He ignored how messy his fingers were getting, and continued munching on his burger.
Saffron sucked. "I'm not gross. You're gross." He repeated, pulling out a handful of her popcorn and stuffing it in his mouth. She'd taken some of his candyfloss and so he was stealing her popcorn. Even if it was pink. She'd even had the cheek - !!!!!!11!! - to wipe his mouth. He was perfectly capable of doing that on his own.
And he hadn't needed to.
Gah. "Mummy." Corbin mocked behind Saffron's back, knowing that the emphasis was on that word to prove that he wasn't invited. Not that he cared. "Fine. Can I go and find Nathan, then?" On his own. Without Saffron?
Tyler would be there. That was adult supervision. Basically.

Brad had just kind of been staring at his sister and this mystery man. He was still listening to Athena, but barely. "Course not. I'll stop it before she gets a chance." Which was why he was here in the first place. He was drawn away from his sister by Athena's mini freak out. He raised his eyebrow as his friend buried her face in his shoulder. "I know I smell amazing but all you had to do was ask. Freaking out was completely uncalled for."
Crud Crud Cruuuddd. She glanced up from his shoulder a bit and then went back into it, cruuuuud. "he won't get one." She was whispering into his shoulder and she wasn't aware if he could even hear her but she did it anyway. Wiggling around she made her way behind him and she thumped him in the head. "Shut up, i don't give a damn how you smell." taking in a deep breath she tried to compose her thoughts a bit. "I know that guy." she said with fingers and arms pointing over his left shoulder. "the one your sister's with." more pointing to his sister. Did he get now why she was freaking. Oh Cheesus this was the worrrrrst.
Bee smiled. "Yeah. Dad's magic, mom's not." Her mother loved having a magical husband and magical children. Made the housework much easier to accomplish. Bianca nodded. "Yep. My brother has a flat in the city already cuz he works at the Ministry so it was the best arrangement living wise." Even though she was going to try and get a job and get her own place ASAP. Living with Brad meant she couldn't ever have fun. "That sounds...interesting. The Paris part. Never cared much for history." She wrinkled her nose a bit. "I can imagine. I want to visit there sometime."
A half blood, interesting. Blood status meant nothing to Icarus. It was just another thing really. Besides even if he did care he'f be a fool to turn her away due to status. She was far too hot for that. "I see, you like your brother? Living with him? I don't think i could live with my siblings. We never got along that much." He shrugged and then laughed "People normally say that. History can be fun and interesting. You just have to find the right part to fine interesting. Buuuut you should come visit..sometime. Maybe sometime soon." Like maybe right after this..
Isa's excitement was so fun to watch and was certainly contagious. Who couldn't have a great time seeing a young girl's smile and laugh brought on from an overgrown bee? Mariel couldn't help but to laugh along herself as they danced together and she moved in for the picture. Sting really was a hit with the fans and she gave him a very approving smile for being so wonderful with her pretty much niece.
The 29 year old slid into place on the other side of Sting, her arm sort of awkwardly around his back as she set about getting a picture with him and Isa. Hearing the girl's question, she spoke back in Spanish, "I don't know, sweetheart. We will find him soon." She knew he was around here somewhere but lost track of him in the process as she was making her rounds around the stadium to make sure everything was running smoothly. But she did want to see him soon enough.
Oh of course she wanted to ride a broom, what child wouldn't? "Of course.. if it's alright with your mother." She looked to Cassandra. Mariel wasn't exactly sure how she would feel about it with her own Quidditch injury and she wouldn't do anything against her wishes, but they took safety measures. "The Junior Quidditch brooms are quite safe," she added to her in English. "Just a step up from the toy brooms really. And there are cushioning charms on the ground below the course." Yeah, they couldn't go very far with them but the steering and increased height made it seem like the children had more liberty with them.
She smiled for the picture then turned to Isa again. "There are a few more here. Have you seen any others?" Mariel did not know the Spanish word for mascot, though she supposed it could be the same as in English so she left it out hoping the girl understood. What did they want to do next? Perhaps she could show them around a bit while she checked on things or she could take them over to the brooms if she wanted a ride.

A smile of approval? HA! STING for president buuuuuzzzzz! Dancing with Mrs. Department Head and the ickle was a lot of fun.
Broomsticks? Sting wasn't much of a player, but broomsticks were FUN FUN FUN! The wasp bounced side to side all happy-like, before pretending to ride on a broomstick himself.

Bianca shrugged. "He's all right. Kind of an idiot. But he's family." Kind of an idiot was a massive understatement when it came to Brad. Even though he had seemed to get himself a decent job and an amazing girlfriend. "The only thing him and I don't agree on our my idea of fun. Honestly I'm shocked he didn't follow me here today." Meeting with Hamish and Icarus.
Bee did a quick scan of the crowd. She didn't see him anywhere. She saw one of his coworkers but that was about it. She shrugged and went back to Icarus. "Well I'm glad you found a part that interests you. Honestly I get the same reaction a lot of times when I say I'm majoring in Herbology." Not a lotta people dug plants. She smiled again. "I will have to take you up on that offer. Get to see Paris and spend time with a very handsome man."

"Speak up mumbles." Obviously something had messed with Athena. Brad knew it wasn't in her nature to just freak out like this. "Ow!" Brad rubbed the spot where she'd hit him. Did she not know how strong she was or did she like to hurt him on purpose? He figured it was probably the second one.
Hie eyes widened and he turned around to look at Athena. "What do you mean you know him? Is he a jerk? Should I just go punch him in the face now?" Brad figured if the guy had messed with Athena it would be worth it. Plus it would be double worth it to get him away from his little sister.

Would he shut UP!? Merlin why was he talking so much. "Brad, shut up." She had pulled her hand back by now and was in the process of pulling her hair down so that she could cover her face some as she stood. "should i change my....... wait.. what.. Don't worry how i know him i just do." that part she was going to leave to herself hedidn't need to know all that. "he's just using her for sure." she rolled her eyes. "she wont get hurt unless she emotionally attaches herself to him quickly." she's smarter than that, yea?

Buuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Enough pictures being taken, Mariel stepped a bit away from the mascot, her focus still on the overly enthused little girl. The grin never really left the Department Head's face since she had seen Isa and her mother actually, the girl's excitement warming her heart. Wasn't that what this whole event was about? She was really glad that they had come.
She couldn't help but to laugh a bit as the girl grew even more excited over the prospect of riding a broom and she tried her hardest to translate Isa's rushed Spanish in her head. She could understand most of it and the rest she simply put into context, nodding as her other agreed to it. "Certainly. I will take you there shortly," she told her in somewhat slower Spanish. Mariel laughed as she bounced over to the sweets. "All she needs is some sugar to hype her up even more," she laughed, speaking again in English to Cassandra. "But my treat of course." Pulling out three sickles, she bought three cupcakes, one for each of them, and handed them out. Pulling off the wrapper of her own, she took a bit and nodded at Isa. "There are two more somewhere," she said in slower Spanish. "We can try to find them."

Damage? Lori grinned and kissed his cheek. "Oh, of course not. I'll just damage what you can't see." So not his face. Because that was something she enjoyed to look at, more so when pregnant. Hi hormones. He got another cheek kiss, and held onto his arm. The little interaction between Adam and Saffron made her heart swell and she had to actually force herself to not cry. Goodbye hormones. Considering her husband had been the one person Lori had encountered who had been so against having children and ending up with so many.
So many that he clearly doted on right now. She had photographic proof.
"Things that pregnant people can't do, then..." Sad. She wanted to take a bat and smack things, but the fear of getting hurt was too much and she wasn't going to be taking any risks. She'd already had dreams of things going wrong, and that was bad enough. "I'll take the kids to see the players and then loop around and come see you and the brooms?" That was...if she didn't lose their children or take a nap somewhere.
Saffy smiled at her Daddy and gave him a big kiss on the cheek as he was low enough to reach and leaned herself into his legs as she munched on her popcorn. See, she could be the perfect daughter when she wanted to. And she could look as adorable as she wanted to. BUT THEN THE DEVIL CHILD STOLE SOME POPCORN AND SHE WAS NOT HAPPY. With a huff, she kicked at him again and wiped the ketchup on her hand into his hair. THERE. That was exactly what he deserved.
"NO. You may not leave! YOU have to stay with US." Didn't he, Mama? DIDN'T HE?!?!?!
Tyler and Nathan were here? "Nice of Tyler to let us know he'd be here." Sarcasm, as always. It wasn't like she'd expected it, purely because they didn't exactly see him every day or any day. That was annoying, but Lori let it slide because he was Adam's best friend and not hers, and it wasn't like she was sad about not seeing him. He was a pain in the backside half of the time.
"So long as you don't leave this place. Do you understand? One step out of here and you're grounded until I forget I grounded you." And she wasn't going to get into the rest of the ground rules about his behaviour, because he KNEW.

Really? Was she really that good? Legend blinked. Sure she put the ball in the hoops from time to time. Okay most games but...so did all the other chasers on ALLLL the other teams in ALLL the other games. What made someone better than anyone else? It was Legend's biggest pet peeve about the sport. Anyone could play. He was sure of it. He DID keep his smile though because Victoria was willing to keep his secret and that made her awesome by his standard.
Ooooh she lived in Australia? "That's a place on my list on places to visit! Did you get stung by like 700 Billywigs?" Cause if so...he'd be rethinking his list. "Who's you're least favourite then?" She HAD to have one of those right? "And what makes someone at least favourite?" Were those the show-offy ones? The ones who did 700 unneeded flips in one game?
Oh uh. She was thanking him? A light blush spread across his face. "I'm just doing my job, really. No need to thank me." Uh. Way to make him feel bad about com paining 2.5 seconds ago Victoria. "And trying. Yup!" At least he WAS trying. That's exactly why he was by the food!

"I am sorry--you probably don't WANT to take a drink from me--but I was just letting you know that I appreciate everyone here!" she said softly, biting her lip in sudden nervousness. She needed to get back on her game. She had making so many people uncomfortable lately that she just wanted to diiiie!
ONLY TRYING TO BE NICE AND HELPFUL, PEOPLE.
SHe twirled a piece of her turquoise hair in her finger and nipped at her cookie again. "I--I'm sorry--anyways--" she just felt awkward, and her cheeks were soooo red. Well then. She just had to smile and muck through this! "You probably want to be going back to your...duties, then, hmm?"
And now Simon had done it...offending someone who was simply trying to show appreciation and thanks. A sharp contrast to other events in the last year against the MLE. The auror had to fight the urge not to glance at a certain woman nearby again, thinking on her and her other half in connection. "There's nothing to be sorry for," he tried to assure her, now feeling a little bad. "I'm just not sure of drinking it while I work." He was already splitting his attention to speak with her, a citizen he was watching over.
Biting lip...twirling hair...reddened cheeks.
Yep, she was certainly nervous about her action and his response. And likely embarished. Yet even still she was appologizing to him. "Yes, I probably should be moving on..." he confirmed with a nod. "Thank you again...and I do hope you enjoy the rest of the event." Even after an awkward encounter with an auror. With that, he gave an inclination of the head and bid his leave to head further along his path of patrolling.
