It was a Saturday lunchtime, well, near enough, and Dean was already feeling overworked for the day. He'd slept last night thanks to his potion, got up this morning and headed for muggle London, for his medication review. He had therapy once a month, but unless that threw something up his medication was only reviewed every six months now and it was always that little bit more intense and he now felt like whatever the wizarding equivalent of a wrung sponge was. It had been a successful session, but he all he felt like was being out in the fresh air, that office just wasn't the open welcoming space of his studio and even that wasn't appealing right now.

He'd called in at St. Mungo's to drop off the updated prescription he'd been given to the healer who converted it into wizarding equivalents. Nothing had changed, mostly because he knew he was going to be even more stressed than he'd already become about the show. Otherwise there had been the suggestion of perhaps lowering his dose slightly, but it hadn't seemed like a wise move.

Apparating back to Monument Alley he walked down to the park dodging through the increased number of shoppers a Saturday always brought and into the calming haven. There was greenery and plants, and even though it wasn't the brightest of weather it was at least dry for now and Dean wandered over to a bench and sat himself down.

Dean was surprised into a wider smile. "No, you're really not. I'm outside getting fresh air," he took a breath. "Plus I've been to the psychologist this morning for the wonders of a medication review, I never really feel like working straight after those, although I imagine the delayed reaction will have me painting in a frenzy by Monday at the latest." His medication reviews in particular seemed to have that effect, the fact this one was on a Saturday was just a nice coincidence of the one Saturday a month his psychologist worked fitting in with when his review was due.

"What about you, what brings you to the park on Saturday lunchtime?"

Dean was smiling, so Lavender surmised that Dean's review had gone well, or at least things hadn't got worse; she was pleased for him.

"Um..." Lavender had the grace to look slightly embarrassed. "I kind of wimped out on going on a run this morning, so I thought I'd go for a bit of walk." She drummed her fingers on the bench. "As you can see, that's going swimmingly," she joked.

With a snort Dean gave Lavender an amused look. "I'm sure you can skip one day! I sometimes end up forgetting to go swimming because I'm busy painting," he offered in consolation. Although it was perhaps a little less important that she kept fit for her job than he did for his.

"Besides, I'm an amazing conversation-haver this is clearly the much better option," he said, making a slightly strained face because he knew those were not the right words. Seamus would probably know, probably even Ophelia and she was French.
