Summary: Samara needs to talk with Astoria about the Obliviators and catch up as well.

Samara had agreed to meet Astoria at the trendy restaurant in Diagon Alley so they could talk about the Obliviators and to catch up seeing as they had not sat down together in a while. Now that she had finally hired a nanny Jason was at home with her, though this would technically be the first time that Samara left him alone with her and Samara was still a bit uncomfortable with it. At least they also had Taffy now and he would keep tabs for her as to what was really going on no matter what the nanny might actually say to her otherwise.

Samara sat down at a table and waited for her cousin to arrive. She did not mind Astoria much, but the woman didn't generally tend to go to any extremes when it came to her own well being or that of her family. She didn't know much of the Chambers' past and what they may or may not have been up to and Samara was fairly certain that she didn't agree with most of what her family (and consequently Samara's family) had done during the war which meant that she would certainly not agree with anything that the Chambers had done or anything they may be doing now. Not that it mattered, because they didn't share these things with anyone anyway, but there was a reason that people thought that Eli was creepy and there was a reason that they told Samara that much (because she was the more approachable of the two). Astoria was having nightmares though so she was not going to be of any use to them at the dinner tonight anyhow, so she had no need to worry on that front. Not that she'd even know this.

When Samara saw her cousin coming she stood up and moved to give her a hug. "It seems like it's been so long," Samara said, trying to speak in a solemn enough voice that portrayed the fact that her mother had just died. It was weird having to make yourself speak like this, because honestly there were moments where she tended to forget all about it having happened. And then people kept reminding her of it and she had to pretend that she was heart broken when honestly she didn't really know how she felt about it.

Astoria smiled in return. "Indeed, it will be most wonderful to have family nearby at the Ministry! I daresay it will be most relieving!"

While Astoria appreciated the sentiment and how eager Samara seemed to be to fix the unfortunate situation she found herself in, she wasn't sure she wanted to accept. She had after all recieved that hard-headedness trait from her father, she wanted to be able to do things for herself, and not have to depend completely on others in order to further herself in the world. "That is most kind of you, Samara, and I would gladly welcome assistance," she said as was the required answer. "I do not want to be a burden to you or any others though, I'd hate to create a stir or upset anyone beyond what's necessary."

"I agree. I didn't have anyone around when I first started there and while it was okay, it will certainly be more interesting to have family around. Honestly, knowing you have a family member to watch your back is so relieving, especially in a department where apparently things aren't going as smoothly as they were when I was around," she said, referring to the fact that Astoria was being held back.

Samara shook her head and waved her hand dismissively at her. "It's no bother at all, dear. And really, it sounds like things need some stirring if they are holding back good Obliviators based on nothing but family indiscretions. It should be about the quality of your work, not the quality of your father's character. I don't think anyone in my family deserves this sort of treatment, especially not any Obliviators - we need as many good ones as we can get."
