Eliza and Roxanne had finally both found a Saturday that they were free to get together and catch up. The two had grown up close thanks to their mothers, and only been a year apart in school, but it had gotten harder to see each other in person as they'd both gone into the world and made lives for themselves. Eliza was probably more to blame than Roxy, and she did feel bad about that, but she was finally putting in the effort. She'd even kept her cocktails to a minimum at Sanguine last night, so as not to be too hungover for her brunch out.

She made it just at noon, her hair still wet without time to dry it properly with a charm before rushing out of the house, but she was proud of herself for being on time even if it was a close one, and saw Roxy at a table on the outdoor patio, a pitcher of mimosas already settled on the two-top. She waved and wound her way through the tables and chairs and gave Roxanne a half hug while still standing before crashing into her seat. "I'm not late," she said with a bit too much force - mostly trying to convince herself - and then laughed at herself. "How are you, babe?" she asked, reaching for her empty glass and the pitcher, nodding her head with a wry smile at her friend in thanks for having already ordered it.

"Oh, you're not late." They'd agreed to a laid back brunch without too much pomp. Well, a little pomp. There was a pitcher of mimosas between them and as many as they cared to drink.

"Just happy for a day off." She couldn't remember the last time she had one and with the Quidditch season coming to an end she was looking forward to more time out. "How's the family business going?" Roxanne had never truly going into business with her family but working in McLaggen's shop she'd see how stressful it can be.

Eiza gave her friend a smile of thanks for her understanding. "Been that busy, eh?" She asked, grateful yet again that she got to keep to her easy weekday hours, even during the busier times (though, really, at an old clock shop, how busy could things really get?).

"It's been... Well, boring as ever," she said with a laugh. "Uncle Henry's as obsessed as ever, too, though," she rolled her eyes. Her Uncle Henry was... A lot. It was like the way he'd been overprotective to her mother had somehow transferred to her.

She took a long drink of her first mimosa and asked, "Never ending, yes?" indicating the pitcher. There weren't many places that did bottomless mimosas, but the few there were, were definitely her favorites.

	Roxanne when ahead and ordered her own food. A breakfast hash with eggs benedict. If they cooked it right, she be able to cut into the egg and watch the yolk gush down into the hash. "Oh, yeah that's Molly!" She hadn't checked in with her since Molly's emergency group text about her next big step. It seemed like all of her cousins had something going on.
