"Sasha!" Daphne grinned when her friend entered the shop. "And you brought lunch!"

She would have hugged her on the spot, but that was completely unprofessional and Daphne wouldn't risk losing the only job she had for a hug, so she grinned widely and asked what was up with her friend.

"Thanks!" Bringing her lunch was completely warranted, but the silly manner in which she'd announced herself was a little out-of-character for Sasha. "What's with you today?"

"I don't know," Sasha answered. She handed Daphne one of the take-out containers. "Just pleased to be out of work for the day, I suppose. Well, until 6, anyway. How are you?"

"Glad to see you, and in such a good mood, as well."

Daphne unpacked her sandwich on the counter. There weren't currently any other customers and she hadn't had anything to eat all day. Both Hester and Pius were in the back working on potions, so Daphne was sure they wouldn't mind.

She took the sandwich out of the wrapper, then checked to make sure there was no cheese. She didn't like cheese on her turkey sandwiches, but Sasha knew that... The perfect sandwich: turkey, lettuce, tomato, and just a little bit of mustard on rye. There was nothing better for lunch.

"How's the internship going so far?" Daphne asked before taking a dainty bite of her sandwich.

Sasha unwrapped her sandwich as well, leaning against the counter slightly. She pondered the question. The internship itself was interesting enough. A lot of fetching coffee and the like, but she was learning things.

Being at work with Ernie everyday, however, was slightly awkward. The two of them weren't really talking and hadn't been since the Quidditch match. But they weren't NOT talking either. They seemed to have reached a mutual, unspoken agreement to avoid each other without actually avoiding each other. Or something.

"It's alright. Not thrilling, but I'm learning some interesting things."

"Explain what?" Sasha did not make eye contact.

rar_daphne January 20 2008, 01:51:27 UTC

"Sasha, something's up with this situation that's making you uncomfortable. Something with Ernie, I'm guessing," Daphne had a sick sixth sense about these kinds of things, especially where Sasha was concerned. After all, this was her best friend.

"Spill it."

"I already told you things are awkward between us at the moment. And then to have him walk in while I'm explaining how awkward things are...?" Sasha shook her head.

rar_daphne January 20 2008, 02:05:52 UTC

"Okay... well, what exactly is awkward about the whole thing. I thought you two were..." Daphne thought for a moment, "getting along nicely."

Daphne was concerned. Sasha wasn't usually this closed off with her. She shrugged and dropped the subject. "Here," she said. "Take this."

Daphne handed her a small vile of Calming Draught and pulled out a bottle of water, as well.

"Drink that water, too."

Now Daphne was sounding like a mother, but she didn't much care. Sasha needed a mother right at this moment and if she didn't have one who cared enough to be there for her, Daphne didn't mind filling in.
