*clasps her hands together and lays them on the counter*
He might be a work, I guess it makes more sense for him to work out an residual feelings, at least you get some money out of your misery. If he's not there, he's not there and don't hurt yourself trying to get in, you've been too nice already I wouldn't ask you to do that. But between you and me, like I said, the door is thin, you could kick it down if need be.
*smiles as if she's joking*
Oh, no no. That's--haha, that's funny though. Wards.

*Sighs, realizing she's too used to her job if she starts thinking every single witch or wizard has their house coated in wards.*
My apologies-
*Smiles faintly.*
-I work at the Ministry. Always hearing about wards and such, you know? I won't kick the door down, he might not like that and get me back for it.
*Pauses, slipping into a thoughtful expression.*
Do you work, Holly? Call me curious, but I'm just wondering.

Oh you work for the Ministry! So do my parents!
*cringes, realizing that is her standard response to hearing the word "ministry", although it was now followed up by memories of breaking in and other far from legal activities*
Yeah I work, come from one of those families that have to. I got a job at the Magical Menagerie when I left school. Hoping to quit though, get into waitressing or something in someplace a bit nicer.

*Quirks one eyebrow, thinking she might've met Holly's parents before.*
They do, hm? I'll have to see if I know them, next time I go in.
*The corners of her lips curl slightly in disgust at the mention of the Magical Menagerie.*
Ugh, if I had to work there, well...I'd leave, so should you! Any ideas of where you'd want to work, which pubs? Or are you aiming for a restaurant?

*shakes her head a little like there was a billion things better to do then chat up the Palmers at work*
*jumps up a bit*
I am so leaving, cats and owls are only cute for the first 72 hours.
*glows, inspired*
Oh restaurant...oh why was I thinking so low? Yeah, well, I had been thinking the Haunt and Goblin but I could do better.
*grabs a hair into her hand and waves it about*
See this? I could make some seriously money from this I've been told. Can you imagine the tips I could get from if I wore it like this?
*brings her hair around on either side of her neck so it rests upon her chest*
Anyway, I don't think I'm honed enough to work somewhere really upscale though. Black dress nice I mean. Hmm.

*Blinks, as if saying, "Well, obviously." *
I wouldn't be able to stand the filthy creatures for that long, even.
*Takes another sip of her Firewhiskey.*
What? How low were you think-
*Hears about the Haunt and Goblin pub, and snickers.*
-oh, Holly, you could do so much better.
*Nods, running her eyes over the witch's hair in calculation.*
You could, honestly. Make quite a bit of money.
*Doesn't reply to Holly's comment about not being honed enough, because she agrees with her on that.*

*smiles, deciding she's going to think a bit more before applying anywhere*
But how, how did you get into the Ministry job? Did you, know someone before, like who helped you get in, or just went to one of their career day things? I assume it's awfully stable. I know my parents' office is super boring, but I know there's some really busy and active ones, especially now-a-days.

*Smirks, looking delightfully smug at Holly's question. Shrugs, as if it's nothing much.*
Oh, at Hogwarts, I knew people who knew people, and went for it.
*Looks at the witch curiously, tilting her head slightly to the left.*
Are you planning on working there?
*Eyes grow distant, as she pictures Holly working at the Ministry with her. At least she'd have someone interesting to talk to, who wouldn't bore her to tears.*

*looks at little lost*
I had this roommate when I first got out who's dad could have gotten me some base level job but I kindly refused, oh not to say anything against you, no not at all. Might come back to bite me, we'll see. I'm not planning on doing anything but become big, you know, well known in the right circles and stuff. Work my way up to what matters. Put myself out there and see if I can make it up there. I know, sounds just like a naive child's dream, but it's what gets me up each morning.
*puts hers elbows on the counter and leans on her arms*
I need to use my wand for more than domestic spells, that's a good way to put it.

*Snickers, and decides that Holly isn't too bad at all.*
How are you planning on doing that, hm? Waiting on strangers in pubs won't do much to help you, if you're wanting to make it big.
*Shakes her head, watching the witch lean against the bar.*
Honestly, if you're always this, chipper, I think you should stop standing out in the cold for hours on end. Just a suggestion, of course.

Hmmmm.
*thinks for only a second, her demeanor making an obvious shift to something more mature, settled, if not a clear view of her Slytherin ambition*
You're right, it's time to stop standing in the cold.
*takes a long deep breath*
I'm seriously thinking of just marrying into it all. I've got the degree, the looks, I've even got the Mar--well if it's just name and money I'm lacking I'll have a hard time doing it any other way.

*Is not visibly surprised by the comment, but her expression is now one of curiosity.*
You even have the what?
*Narrows eyes, wondering if she missed something that the witch had said. A second later, she shakes her head, batting at the air as if swatting the question away.*
Nevermind. Who's going to be the lucky bloke?

*gives a short of half laugh as if this question was actually funny to her*
Oh you know, nicely dressed men in pubs, friends of friends, those rich guys who sometimes hang around candy shops because its kinda ironic. Got any rich cousins?
*snaps her finger as if waking herself up from a dream*
Ahh, as you said it'll all work out. Worse comes to worse, I've got this friend who needs to get married to get his inheritance but isn't a girl-guy if you know what I mean. Good strong plan b.

*Gives the witch a look that says even if she did have any rich cousins, she wouldn't tell her. She sets her mug down on the bar top with a dull thump.*
If you do happen to marry him- your friend- I do hope you wouldn't let him keep all of the money. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any point to it.
*Shakes her head slightly, resting her forearms on the bar top.*
So, about this place-
*Drums her nails on the dented wood slowly.*
-would you say, if I told you I wanted to live out here, it's a brilliant idea or a ridiculous one?

*nodes conservatively* Oh yeah, yeah, I've got my wits about that.
*glares at the door as a procession of people enter and let the cold air in*
Depends. If you are near the main street than it's lousy and full of kids. But the cottages up behind Hogsmeade are amazing, and pricey. And honestly, it's the same other places, like Diagon. Right near the main part is horrible but there are nice areas down darker, quieter streets. No one would look at you strange at work if you said you lived there. So, it comes down to if you like the country or the city.
