Re: Lucy and Blaise
Lucy nodded. "I don't know her well yet," she said. Apart from their shopping trip and lunch, she hadn't really spent much time with Millicent - and she got a feeling the woman didn't like her, but she wasn't going to hold that against her friends. "At least, I assume it's the same one. Millicent Bulstrode?" Millicent seemed the right age to know Blaise, so it seemed unlikely they were talking at cross-purposes, but you could never be sure.
Lucy's expression as Blaise explained his job was somewhat skeptical. "That sounds like your official job description - what do you actually do all day?" She worked through what he'd said in her own mind before taking her best guess. "You... collect ideas for Gobstones and improve them, help get prototypes made by whoever does that kind of work and then figure out whether they're going to be a complete nightmare to use fairly in a competition?" She had only the vaguest idea what Gobstones were, never having had time to play. They were like marbles, she knew, and they made a mess sometimes. "Do you enjoy it?"
