She'd thought it was going to be about something bad, but she hadn't thought it was going to be this bad. Eloise frowned slightly while Wayne was talking, and even after he finished, she was quiet. She didn't know what she was supposed to say.
"Well, he can't just go and make money off Ministry research like that," she finally remarked. "That can't be allowed. So, maybe, maybe if you told the Ministry about him..." Eloise trailed off as it occurred to her that telling the Ministry would entail telling them about Wayne's indiscretion.
Eloise had to admit, a small part of her was intensely curious about that part of the story. Wayne had always been good at keeping quiet about work, had never told Eloise any details about his job... and then he went and told this shady guy? She wanted to ask about it, but she couldn't quite figure out how.
