Who: Hestia and Frank
What: Catching up? Chatting!
Where: DMLE//Auror Offices
When: This afternoon- April 16

Hestia felt like a terrible mentor. Friend. Whatever she was. It had been a busy week for her- after the attack, she was called in early to work the next day, covering for a few of the Aurors who had been injured, and she hadn't had a chance to go check up on her friends. Today, though, she was going to change that. She'd already checked on a couple of the aurors that she had mentored for a short while, and then thought she'd check up on Frank. They hadn't talked in a while, and she always did have a sort of fondness for the bloke-- he always seemed so shy around her, though. Ah, well.

It was almost lunch time- but not quite, so she was pretty sure that she would find him at his desk. She hoped she would, at least.

"Not at all!" Frank insisted, quickly. He glanced around- there was another chair near his desk, though it, too, had papers on it. He stood, moving to clear it off- he wasn't sure how long Hestia wanted to stay, but he could at least offer her a place to sit. "Erm, yeah- it's rough for everyone these days, I suppose..." He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck a moment. "You made it through alright, too, though? Well, obviously. Still," he smiled, "I'm glad for that."

	"Thanks," she said, taking the seat he offered. She didn't plan on visiting for too long- they both had work to do, really- but she wouldn't mind chatting for a few minutes. "Yes, I made it just fine. I was late- I didn't hear about it until it was already nearly over. "How are you doing? I heard you were hurt pretty bad..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Still, I'm sure you helped-" Frank felt himself flush a bit at the mention of his injury, but he couldn't exactly deny it. "I- well, yeah. I got hit with a stunner in the back, and knocked my head when I fell. A bit embarrassing, really." Or at least it seemed like it, now. "Spent two days in St. Mungo's, and then another night recovering at home." With Alice's help- which he nearly mentioned aloud, but stopped himself.

	"Not nearly enough," she said, waving a hand dismissively. She smiled, faintly, at his blush, and leaned back in her seat, crossing her legs at the ankles. "Embarrassing, perhaps, but better that than something else, I'm sure. I'm glad you're doing well, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Still," Frank insisted, grinning a bit now. "It couldn't have even been a cool injury, you know? With a dashing scar and everything. No- me, I get knocked over from behind." He shook his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You have plenty of time to be earning dashing scars and great injuries," Hestia replied with a grin of her own. "I'm glad you're alright, though. Have they been keeping you busy since you've been back, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, I certainly hope so," Frank replied, as solemnly as he could manage- though a smile quickly betrayed him. He gestured a hand to the various stacks of papers on and around his desk. "I've been keeping myself busy, I think," he admitted. "Just trying to get everything put back to rights- or as near to it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It always seems like we never have enough time to do that," Hestia said, smiling a bit. "I don't, at least. I'm always behind or scattered and I can't seem to catch up. Ever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, no- I don't think we're meant to catch up. Don't tell Scrimgeour that, of course," Frank added, lower. "We're not saving the world through paperwork, yeah?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cross my heart I won't," Hestia said, making an 'x' with her finger over her chest. "Of course we're not. It would be silly of them to think we are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Frank couldn't help but smile at the gesture, and he was half-tempted to duplicate it, himself. "I'm glad you agree, at least," he admitted. "I mean- I- well, I like this job because I really feel like it means something, like I'm helping, you know? And I think Alice thinks that's a load of bollocks and I'm just in it because it makes me feel macho, but that's not it, really."

	"I'm glad to hear that," Hestia admitted. That he had a reason for liking this job, for choosing it. If anybody asked her why she picked an Auror over anything else, well... She wasn't sure that she could give any straight answer. It was just something that she thought she would do. "Why do you think Alice thinks it's a load of bollocks?"

	"Oh, I don't know that she really does or not," Frank could feel himself blushing a bit. "I mean, she just likes to tease me, and all." (Reply to this) (Parent)
