When the day came and her family arrived back in Godric's Hollow from Ireland, she dreaded this decision more than anything else. It might be worse than being on a six day holiday with her entire family honestly, which speaks volumes to her relationship with Nova. Except unlike family holiday, she wants to enjoy her time with Nova like she used to - before everything. She despises both for the same reason, but she is trying to realize she should at least forgive one. Her last 'friend' told her that bit of advice while she cried against her chest. Waiting for Nova at the bar, the thought of that interaction makes her cringe and want to hurl her whole body off of a cliff. How fucking pathetic. Bunny rolls her eyes before gesturing for the bartender to get her a beer as she starts to overthink, time moving by as slow as possible.

Nova was early; of course she was, she's been waiting for Bunny to reach out ever since she got back to Hogwarts. She's petty and she has too much pride but even Nova knows what she did was unforgivable, and it's horrible too that Nova disappeared in the middle of her endless string of apologies. She hasn't had the nerve to start apologizing again, and now they're no longer dorm mates, but at the same time they're partners in not one but two subjects... Despite being early, when she saw Bunny wasn't there yet, she was too proud to make it apparent that she was waiting when normally Nova's fashionably late to everything, so she stepped out back for a smoke. When she sees Bunny enter the bar, she puts out the cigarette and waits a few minutes before going in, sitting at the bar next to the other girl. "Hey."

Bunny turns, more at the lingering smell of cigarette smoke than Nova's actual presence. "So stressed you just had to take a couple of puffs before seeing me, eh?" she smirks. As a smoker herself, her coats almost always lingered of smoke as does her hair on occasion depending on how shitty of a day she's having. Her 'friends' tend to tell her it's like a mood ring. Point is she isn't judging and she couldn't care less. "We're here to place nice though, right? No need to worry." Her beer gets slid in front of her, prompting a polite sip. Not facing the other girl - much preferring not having to look at her at all - she chooses to cater to Nova's needs a little bit more. "'Suppose you look lovely today."

"So do you, but that's nothing new." Nova tells her, unsure of how easily the pair can fall back into their old banter. There was that time Bunny texted her and Nova replied like she used to, only to be confronted with a 'don't say that', so she's feeling more than unsure. Nova orders a beer herself, fingers drumming on the bar table while waiting for it to arrive. She decides to confront the elephant in the room – Nova's a lot of things but she's never been a coward. "I'm still really sorry about what happened."

Bunny glances back over at her, looking her up and down and holding back a small laugh. "As you should be," her tone is bitter. While she wants to love Nova again (as if she ever stopped), it's hard to accept the pain she went through and is still going through as a result of her actions. It's not something she can just move on from when her parents won't let her. "No, that's too hostile." At least she corrects herself, turning back towards her beer and tapping the glass with her fingers. Reaching up, she pushes her short dark hair behind one of her ears and sighs. "Is it? I don't know. There's no way around this."

Unsure of how to reply to that, she decides to just continue with the apology anyway. "I know I should be." she affirms, "I didn't expect your parents to react like that, and I know I should've seen it coming but seeing you with her was just so – " Nova can't even bring herself to finish her sentence or even say that girl's name; she sounds so obviously bitter until now. "She wasn't good for you." she says, "But that still doesn't excuse what I did. And I'm sorry. And I'm sorry if disappearing made it seem like I was any less sorry, but I still am."

Her whole body feels hollow at the mention of her ex. It was destined to happen - that's the excuse Nova always gives. It's been miserable not being able to tell her what happened with her or with any other girl she ended up sharing her heart with. Nova was supposed to be her best friend - the person she told these things to, but look at her. At that, she glances back and swallows hard. Can she really blame her for what her parents have done? Wouldn't they have found out eventually? No, she would've found a secure place by then. It's not fair to blame herself either. "Stop it," she starts, narrowing her eyes. "Stop apologizing. Stop going on about Katie. For Merlin's sake, she has a fucking name. I'm absolutely sick of this nonsense with you." Her tone is cool and surprisingly tempered. She doesn't have the heart to raise her voice at her. Just looking at her makes her soft. "And it did, by the way - you just disappearing. It hurt a real fucking hell of a lot."

Nova glances not-so-subtly at the scar near her wrist from the burn she got that day with Morgan in the abandoned classroom, when the sunlight hit her skin. She looks back up at Bunny. She told Az about her condition, yes, but she and Az have always had the kind of friendship where there really was no judgment; that sort of thing happens when you're both dating Schloenfields, after all. She knows Bunny's been her best friend for as long as she can remember, or at least was her best friend, and there's no way she'd judge her for getting attacked by a vampire over Christmas break last year... But at the same time, she doesn't want to use what happened to her as a scapegoat for her shitty behavior. She doesn't want to guilt Bunny into accepting her apology. "I didn't mean to disappear just like that. I didn't talk to anyone for months; it wasn't just you." she tells her, "And if you don't want me to apologize, then what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know. I said already that I don't know how to handle this, Nova," her tone was a bit exhausted and whiny as she leaned forward and pressed a palm to her pale forehead just where her bangs hang. "I'm not sure you know what you're even apologizing for." Thinking back to that summer gives her a headache. After that incident, all she really needed was a friend, but she had been too stubborn to let this one back in. It was partially her fault too and she knows that, but her world has been so much steadier with the ability to pin everything on Nova and not have to face her own demons.

"I know what I'm apologizing for." she insists. Nova's only spent months cooped up in her house dwelling on her friendship with Bunny and how everything went awry. She was alone with her thoughts far longer than anyone should've been. "I'm sorry for telling your parents, I'm sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth, I'm sorry for being a bitch to your girlfriend – I get it, I'm the bad guy and I did a million things wrong." She's not even trying to make Bunny feel guilty; this is sort of just a truth that she's accepted. "But I'd really like to have you back more than anything." God knows she needs it; Nova's never felt more alone in her entire life.

While Bunny really wants her to be the bad guy, she knows that's unfair and it makes her roll her eyes. "You're not the bad guy, babes. Just not the hero of the story either." Neither of us are. And just the thought of that sends her spiraling, thinking about how she really isn't such a good person. It's a hard fact to grasp, but especially with her involvement in the Order - which she knows to be morally horrendous - she questions if she even deserves Nova's friendship back in the first place. "I'm sorry too. I didn't make it the easiest thing - apologizing and all." Between blocking her and switching rooms, attempting to switch partners, just simply everything, she had tried to make it as difficult as possible for Nova to make things right. "But I know. Obviously I want my best friend back too." It just feels different now.

"I want my best friend back, too." Nova immediately says, barely noticing when the barman comes back with her order. It's obvious how her entire demeanor is suddenly more hopeful. Sure, Bunny coming back into her life still doesn't exactly fix everything but in between losing her abilities, her family (practically), her old friends, her spot on the Quidditch team, her favorite subjects, all her goals... Being able to say that she hasn't lost her best friend would mean the world right now. "So, we're fine, then?" she asks, and immediately regrets jumping the gun and being so quick to assume.

During the silence, she takes a small swig of her beer and lets Nova process her thoughts. When she makes this...very strong assumption, Bunny turns towards her with an eyebrow lifted and an amused smirk. "'Suppose we're fine, yes," she responds after a moment of thought. "Or we can at least try to be," she adds, figuring that's a good way to set expectations low. While she loves Nova and always has, it's not like they'll be having cutesy sleepovers again any time soon. "Where have you been?"

Ah, there it is. The dreaded question. Just hearing it leave Bunny's lips makes her reach for the beer and take a drink. "Does it matter?" Nova asks, trying to reestablish her regular air of confidence with a knowing smile. Of course it matters; she's not a dumbass. "I'm back now; I think that's a lot more important. Doesn't seem like people missed me much anyway." Nova sounds kind of bitter. Bunny should know by now that this is just a consequence of Nova being so used to being the center of attention even in her absence – the fact that the whole school isn't dying to know is quite the blow to her ego.

Bunny snorts, taking another swig of beer before shifting in her seat so she's properly facing the other girl now. With an amused expression, she almost wants to snatch the bitterness out of Nova's voice. It's so annoying, but also charming in a very peculiar way. Maybe she's just missed her a lot more than she's realized. "'Figured Chad had knocked you up," she prods, the look on her face turning more smug. "So, it does matter a little bit. Not like you must tell me, but if there's a baby Novita Sriyata running around, I would like to meet them."

At that, Nova lets out a snort. "I'm pretty sure everyone thinks Chad knocked me up." she muses, "I haven't even talked to him since coming back. Can you believe the state of him? He looks like the blueberry girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Nova rolls her eyes just remembering their encounter. Normally, it'd be a huge ego boost to have someone begging for her to to take them back but she couldn't even hold back her laughter after seeing his skin and inflated head. "And you should know by now that if there was a baby, you'd be the first to know." Even if they weren't talking, Bunny would definitely be the first she'd tell. "You'd have been its godmother." she teases.

"He deserves it. He's always looked like that in my head anyways," she jokes, letting out a small laugh except she's deadly serious. Chad was never attractive in the slightest and he might as well have been walking around with a swollen blue head and an eyepatch. "I know I would've. We talked about it when were eight, remember? By the way, I'm holding you to that. Personally, I could never and would never, but you knew that already."

This is going a lot better than Nova expected. She didn't expect Bunny to drop the question so quickly, but she isn't going to second-guess it when she'd really rather not answer. "Of course I do. I know you. Better than I know myself." Nova smirks, though the comment is definitely true. "Tristan le Fey did it, right? Morgan's cousin." she adds, almost scoffing when she brings up the latter's name. She hasn't been his biggest fan ever since their altercation in the classroom. "He's cute."

Bunny has never rolled her eyes quicker, mirroring the other girl's scoff as she turns away into her drink. She takes a moment to answer, wanting to take a drink of her beer before she properly assesses these two assholes' names and existence. "I think you should know better than thinking I keep up with that sort of thing. Fuck Morgan, but please not literally. And fuck his stupid cousin too." Her look is daring, eyebrows raised and eyes piercing. Merlin, does Morgan manage to just boil her blood.

Nova grins a little bit hearing the obvious disdain for Morgan in Bunny's voice. Back when Morgan was her friend, she'd probably jump to his defense. However, Nova's always been good at holding a grudge (the extent of her pride is almost remarkable) and she's always been melodramatic too, which means that she and Morgan will be sworn enemies until the day she dies. And she's a dhampir, too, so that'll take a while. "I think you'll be pleased to know that the two of us had a falling out." Nova drawls, "He wasn't exactly too thrilled I came back."

It does bring a small smile to her face, but she's hiding most of her amusement. "I am pleased. What did he do this time to deserve it?" she asks, eyebrows raising as she leans an elbow against the bar and moves in closer to Nova. She's clearly intrigued. "Except for the obvious - existing." She smirks and gives the other girl a small wink.

"Apparently it didn't sit with him very well that I find his girlfriend annoying." she says, looking irritated. She's definitely calmed down in terms of how she interacts with Niks, opting to just not talk to her at all lest she say something that'll piss Morgan enough to tell the whole school about Nova's condition. "Which she totally is, by the way. You know my partner in Potions? The Hufflepuff girl. Niks."

"Oh, they're dating?" If she paid any ounce of attention to him, she would probably know that, but she always had faith that Niks liked girls. Maybe she does. Bisexual people exist. "Gross. I-" Bunny actually happens to not find her very annoying. She's too pretty to bother her any, but she understands how Nova wouldn't like her. "Is this because you're jealous?" she challenges, raising an eyebrow. "There's nothing to be jealous of, babes. You could do better."

"There's no way I'm jealous." she says, sounding defensive. Why would she be jealous of someone so pathetic? It reminds her of her conversation with Rosaline though, which reminds her of when Rosaline brought up Bunny and she decides to steer the conversation in that direction. Any more comments about Niks or Morgan and she knows Bunny will be on her case about being jealous again, which she is definitely not. "Rosaline said the same thing; I haven't the slightest idea where either of you got that idea." she says, "Didn't know you guys were acquainted, by the way."

Bunny raises an eyebrow. It's incredibly difficult to believe especially how amazing she thinks Niks is and she's not even trying to compete against her. "Right. Please, babes, keep lying to yourself," she says after a minute, looking smug as she turns towards her drink. At the sound of Rosaline's name, she feels her heart shrink and she gets the pathetic little feeling in her chest that makes her think she's about three feet tall. Her smugness slips and she shrugs her shoulders weakly. Having these kinds of conversations with Nova of all people just simply isn't easy considering what happened last time she didn't approve. "Uh, a lot has happened in nine months. I think you would be disappointed," she starts hesitantly. "I would hardly say acquainted - not in the sense you mean."

"So what happened there, then?" she asks, leaning in a bit closer as she takes a sip of her beer. "The two of us had a chat in the Quidditch Cave recently, but I wasn't able to get the full story." She already doesn't approve, what with how Rosaline called Bunny boring. It's such a pity too because she likes Rosaline, but if she talks shit about Bunny one more time, Nova's not sure her fondness would survive the aftermath.

"Uh, we hooked up a couple of times. It didn't last very long because I guess she didn't like i- No," Bunny laughs, shaking her head. The thought manages to amuse her so much that despite her upset feelings, she can still smirk. "I know she liked it. She's just not one for emotional attachments apparently." She isn't one to talk. If Rosaline hadn't cut it off, she would've within the next week or would have at least checked out.

For some reason, this bothers her more than it should, but that's probably just the realization that everyone's seemed to move on and have lives without her settling in. "You two would've made an attractive couple." she says instead, "Shame it didn't work out."

After knowing someone for a decade, you tend to know what every little movement in their body language means. It doesn't take much for Bunny to know that Nova is bothered, but she doesn't feel like pushing or giving in to making this all about her again. In the past, talking about relationships always just felt like it was about the other girl, but maybe it's selfish of her to be so bitter about it. "I don't think so. Regardless, dating isn't about that or else you would've never gotten with Chad or tried with Morgan." Her look is testy. "Anyways, no, I think Rosaline's gorgeous, but it's better that things didn't work out. I've been messing around with other possibilities anyways."

"We don't speak of Morgan." she says, waving a hand dismissively at the mention of the boy's name. To think that he'd end up being the one she hates so much instead of Chad is honestly laughable, but Nova's too petty to care. "And Chad is – was attractive. I wouldn't date him now that he's blue." she defends herself, before dwelling on Bunny's last couple of words. "Other possibilities?" she inquires.

"Come on, Nova. No, he wasn't. Chad was never attractive," she insists, looking absolutely flabbergasted at the suggestion that he ever was. It's almost an insult to her that any girl would put themselves through Chad Schloenfield let alone someone as stunning as Nova. "It is seriously such a shame that you're straight," she mockingly shivers. "Boys don't deserve you." And it's true. No one really does though.

Nova thinks about how she's a bit shorter than Bunny; the two of them are the same height when Nova's in heels, though, which is almost always. And Katherine wouldn't stand a chance against Nova if the two of them got into a fight (thank you, dhampir strength). She feels content with this rationalization in her head. "I'm happy you have someone." she says pointedly, "I can't seem to find anyone interesting enough to hold my attention for too long. Even tried dating a sixth year." She makes a face when she remembers Max.

"I don't know if I have someone. It's more like kissing and crying," she says, tone insinuating she's joking before she lets out a pathetic laugh that says otherwise. At the sound of Nova dating...oh, not a pathetic sixteen year old (not to mention a sixteen year old boy). Bunny could hurl. "Not another boy, right? At what point do you try playing for the other team?" When she realizes she's had this conversation with Nova about a thousand times already, she frowns. "No, never mind that. I know we've talked about it. I'm sorry. You will find an alright guy eventually." Not perfect, but whatever.

There's a certain rush of relief in knowing that not even Bunny's string of things are enough to replace Nova, but she does still feel a bit of guilt tugging at her heartstrings. Bunny deserves to be happy, especially after everything Nova put her through. "Alright?" Nova chuckles, "Here I was thinking you wouldn't let me settle for anything less than perfect."

"Not to kill your shine, but there's no such thing as a perfect guy. I've long since come to terms with the fact that you're going to have to settle," she says, turning down towards her nails before taking a drink and looking back at Nova. Her look is pretty dead because she's being honest and is clearly still disappointed that her best friend is- oh, Merlin, straight - but she still loves her, so there's a small turn in her lips. "But like I said, you will settle for a guy that is more alright than usual eventually."

"And in the meantime," Nova says, setting down her drink and smiling up at Bunny. "I have you." Her smile is charming but her eyes pose a question, like she's trying to gauge how much affinity Bunny still has towards her despite everything that's happened between the two of them. "Don't I?"

Bunny shifts how she's sitting in the barstool, realizing then that Nova was back to serious conversation. She's no longer one for the mushy side of emotions. They've all become too difficult to process and thinking about having this conversation for a second time tonight (kind of) was overwhelming to her. "I think so, Nova. We already talked about it," she says, frowning slightly as she looks at her. Her eyes look like they're welling up with tears, but she blinks and the look seems to vanish in an instant. She opens her mouth to say more, but quickly closes it and furrows her brows together.

It was her day off and of course Drew was going to spend it drinking. With class, of course. In her defence, she'd spent the morning at the nursing home with her mother. And...well, it hadn't been a very good visit unfortunately. Not that she'd had good visits at all in the past year. There wasn't much time left for Cassandra Hamilton and Drew had long accepted this. Still-it was never that pleasant. The beer was placed on her table and she frowned down at it when the waiter left her table. She'd never been a beer person and she feared she'd leave this establishment still not a beer person. Then again - it'd be worse to walk out of here a beer person. Her dignity would be forever gone, she'd have to resign. Drew was alone. It's not as if she had many people outside of her career, not after Hailey. Drew usually wasn't that miffed by this, her time was so consumed with the office it rarely mattered, but she supposed it was kind of sad that she didn't really have anyone to go to lunch with her.

Octavia is also here alone, but contrary to Drew, she had walked in without dignity already. The full moon had been some nights ago and Octavia was still recovering from the lingering soreness and pain in her joints. While MJ's cure was marijuana, hers was alcohol, regardless of whether it was hard liquor or beer. So she's near Drew, on her fourth - fifth? - beer, scrolling mindlessly through her phone without realizing Drew is there. She's spamming MJ right now, actually, telling her all about the drinks she's having while her sister leaves her on read. You're rude, she sends. Don't ignore me, asshole.

It took Drew a second to realise who the girl a few tables away from her was. She had a habit of memorising each and every face in the room, just in case she needed to. So Drew's eyes eventually landed on Octavia. "Boleyn," she said, deciding in a split second to stand up and move over to Octavia's table and tilted her head, "mind if I join?" She was aware of the phone, and the empty glasses. Drew wondered if Octavia would find it odd, seeing Drew outside of work. Dressed in jeans and a white sweater, her hair cascading down past her shoulders, this wasn't the Drew everyone was use to.

But come on, she's an intelligence officer. Her saving grace is that she doesn't stare like a lesbian in love and quickly looks away, gesturing at the seat across her. "Take a seat, Hamilton," she replies in the same tone, "Say, are you related to the Hamilton?"

Drew slid down into the seat as graceful as any sober person could. "Fortunately no, I think my family stole the surname though. Well, I'll correct myself. I'm not related from what I know. Don't know if I want to be," Drew said before she took a sip of the beer and forced her face to remain expressionless and placed the drink back on the table. Still hated beer. "So are you really related to the Boleyn's?"

"I mean, it'd change the way I watch the Hamilton musical. I'd probably see you rather than Lin Manuel. Now that'd be quite the show," she laughs heartily and knocks back her beer, taking a long swig. When she swallows, she wipes her mouth with her sleeve. "I am. No other way I'd be Lady Octavia Boleyn. I genuinely thought you knew, though."

"I kind of suspected someone in the line claimed it for clout," Drew confessed with a shrug. "And...there's a play about him? You think it's any good?" Drew wasn't that well versed in muggle culture, like-at all. Even magical pop culture wasn't Drew's strong point.

"I think it's interesting. But no, not clout. Very much so related. We even have the whole rivalry with the Tudors," Octavia remarks. Although she can't remember the last time she heard the Tudor name around the United Kingdom. She'd never minded them, but it's nice not having to hear her family's bitching about them. "It's a whole thing, honestly, but I've never been that involved with the rest of my family. Just my sisters. Which - by the way - you were wrong about. They weren't too happy to see me again."

"I don't remember saying they'd be over joyed to see you, just that they'd be worth fighting for," Drew said with a shrug, though this could be wrong. It had been a while ago and Drew had a lot of conversations in between. Drew should get someone to take minutes of every conversation she had. Or maybe there was a quill who could do it magically. "What'd they do?"

"Esmé wanted to kill me, I think. She didn't loosen up until my attack. MJ was more open, but I think it's because she's always high," she admits, laughing near the end. Honestly? Octavia can't believe this is how her life turned out. "So what brings you around here? You always did peg me as more of a hard liquor kind of woman."

"I try to branch out sometimes," Drew said with a shrug. Sometimes. Rarely. "You know, experiment. I didn't think you were a beer person either." Drew might have to ban Octavia from the auror office if she was. The office had to have some taste. "And hey-at least she cares. I'd rather have someone be angry at me than be emotionless. Might just be me, though."

"Beer, wine, vodka - anything alcoholic. Imagine being able to afford favorites. I'll just take what's offered. Actually, remind me to put that down for the Christmas Exchange," she jokes, "Oh, that's rich. Everyone at the office is convinced you can only manage one expression - the cool, collected one you have right now. Yeah, the one that's like -" she cuts herself off as her face contorts into a mock of Drew. She sure as hell doesn't squint or look as hideous as Octavia's making her out to be. But hey - all is fair after-hours at a brewery. (Seriously, is this a fucking fever dream or something? She's still processing.)

"I pay you well enough to be able to afford favourites," Drew said, almost asking what on earth the girl spent her money on to have to rely on beer. Then her face broke out into an amused smile as she watched the other girl do an abysmal impression of her. "That is nothing like what I look like. Even with my cool, calm and collected expression. And of course I have to be, the rest of you are ticking time bomb. Someone has to keep it together." She does through martinis. "Never do that again, ever."

"Yes, but you assume I'm a smart spender. Bench me for a few weeks and I'll waste my savings on shit I don't need and clothes I probably won't use." Drew's smile is infectious, and when her face splits into one, so does Octavia's, all warm and giddy. It's the beer. Her order draws out a loud laugh. "We're off-duty, which means you aren't really my boss anymore. I think - correct me if I'm wrong - that means you can't tell me what to do," she points out, grinning victoriously. Sober, emotionally sane Octavia wouldn't be so bold; hell, she probably wouldn't even be bothering Drew. But right now, what does she have to lose? (Aside from her job.) "Also, I'm offended; I'm not a ticking time bomb. I already imploded. You should be worried about, uh, what's her name? It starts with a D. Dinkleberg? No, that's too long. The French one! Auror Baguette."

"Dubois?" She asked slowly, with a slow blink, "how drunk are you?" She didn't want to go into details about Chloe Dubois. She knew the girl had a lot on her plate but she'd insisted on continuing work. Apparently she was seeing someone to help with her personal life but Drew kind of suspected (heavily suspected) that this was a lie. "And no, I guess I can't," she said, agreeing with her, "maybe I'm just too use to seeing you in the office."
T
「 Octavia Boleyn 」graduated hufflepuff • intelligence officer
"Sure, her. Dubois. I think Dinkleberg sounds better, but the French insist on being extra, so... you know, that's on them. What does Dubois even mean? No, why is Dubois pronounced Dubois? Why not Dub-oi? Or dub-ois? Like dab, but dub, and oi oi, but oi. Are you - do you know what I mean?" Octavia thinks she lost Drew. To be fair, she lost herself too. The joys of alcohol. "No, this is hardly my.... pffffft, beer what? I lost count a few dozens back," she exaggerates, shrugging a shoulder. "Office me should hardly be counted as me. Office me is an uptight cunt, but I really do have to be - if I'm not, someone might lose a leg."

Drew's expression suddenly softened at the last part and she pursed her lips. "It wasn't your fault," she said after a moment as she tolerated another sip of the devil's piss beer. "You're the reason his spine didn't shatter. You did save his life. Isn't that also important?"

"It was," she refutes immediately. She doesn't want to get too into the conversation with Drew of all people, and certainly not in the middle of a brewery, so she shakes her head and takes another swig of her - what, eighth beer? No, it's, like, the thirteenth... or something. "Doesn't matter much now, though."

"Haven't they stopped serving you by this point?" Drew asked as she watched Octavia take a swig. "I'm sure the cut off would have been at the tenth drink at least. I almost refuse to think you're such a light weight that you've gotten drunk on anything less. Is this what you do in your free time? Just come to a brewery to get drunk at three in the afternoon?" Approximate time.

"I'm hot and dudes get super horny super easy," she reasons, shrugging, not really caring to mince her words right now. Drew's guess, however admirable, makes her face contort in indignation. "Listen, ten? I can stomach a good fifteen to eighteen - depends on the brand. I've been on enough undercover missions to work my way around more than just a few, I'll have you know. Ten! Unbelievable. Don't project," she scoffs. The question makes her pause and roll her eyes. "Workday's 'til five - I come in at like six," she corrects, looking completely serious until she cracks a small grin. "Kidding."

Drew bit back a smile. "They cut everyone off after a certain amount of drinks, no matter who the person is, don't think you're special," Drew said, "can I shout you a lunch? I was going to eat myself and I hate being the only one eating." Drew looked over at Octavia, her head slightly tilted to the side. "Workdays," she echoed with a laughter, "I'm pretty sure you don't have a workday for another five days. Drinking alone at a brewery past six is a really sad life. At least go to a proper bar."
T
「 Octavia Boleyn 」graduated hufflepuff • intelligence officer
"I am special!" she protests, more offended by the insinuation than touched by the offer — at least until she realizes Drew is offering free food, and then she lights up like a child during Christmas morning. "Wait, can we go to Nan's Diner? I hear they have good, uh - not the sandwiches. Wait, yeah - they've got good Cubans." Is it even Nan's? Might not be. Ah, fuck it, she'll go for chicken and waffles instead. "You can't fire me, we're outside work hours," she points out, eyes narrowing when she catches onto the potential meaning of Drew's words. "I mean, I wouldn't mind getting fired, but like... nooo," Octavia's face eases and her lips drop into a frown. Do tears well up in her eyes? Maybe. Does she look ridiculous? Honestly, probably. "Bars are... gross. There's always guys in them, even the gay one."

Drew hesitated before shrugging. "I like that place," she said. Though-the last time she was there was with Hailey. But that wasn't important. Drew wasn't quite sure if Octavia could even make it to the establishment. "Fire you?" She echoed, her brows pulling together in confusion and ran through her words. "I'm not going to fire you. Why would I fire you? I don't have a reason for it." Drew was referring to the whole medical leave situation. "Octavia, are you sure you're not drunk? Maybe we should take you home."
T
「 Octavia Boleyn 」graduated hufflepuff • intelligence officer
"You know, if you wanted to take me home, you should've asked me out on a date first. We could've gone down to the aquarium - or the zoo. I have an arsenal of wolf jokes I've been wanting to make," Octavia grins like her life isn't in shambles and the whole wolf situation isn't actually the most traumatizing thing she's ever been through. Her coping mechanisms are clearly not working as well as she thinks they do. Octavia fumbles through her purse's contents and eventually pulls out her wallet. She fishes out a few coins, enough to cover... a lot, actually. "Let's get food!"

"I feel like the perfect audience for those type of jokes would be your sister," Drew pointed out with a small shake of her head. Drew watched the coins splatter onto the table. If she was Minister of Magic, then she'd be introducing notes. Coins were such a pain and so bulky. Or just make the leap and do everything electronically. "And no, I'm not asking you out on a date, Octavia, I-" I'm your boss. I'm not interested. Both viable excuses. "-won't when you're like this." Definitely the best excuse to give. "Plus, you...you wouldn't want to go out with me anyway. First off, I'm your boss. Second of all...I think you'd be terribly disappointed." Octavia was probably too drunk to actually remember what she just said. Drew had given up on romance since Hailey. Figured she was married to her job and that she couldn't balance a personal life. "But yes-food. Can you walk?" She might have asked that already but her eyes were already watching Octavia as she stood up, ready to catch her if she starts to fall. Or maybe she won't.

"My sister is always too high to appreciate my jokes the way they deserve," she refutes, jutting her bottom lip out miserably. When she hears Drew's excuse, she scoffs but doesn't fight back, because really - she has a point. Aren't there laws against it in place, or whatever? "'Course I can!" To her credit, she stumbles and almost falls several times, but she makes it to the front door and swings it open, not waiting for Drew as she thinks she's already close behind while they walk out.

Drew had to hold herself back from moving forward and steadying Octavia herself but her hands gripped her bag instead. "Clearly," she said eventually before she followed Octavia out the brewery.
