Closed; Just Another Business Meeting

[daphne_x]

Just Daphne had predicted, there was a lecture and a stern look waiting for her when she returned home the day before. She did felt a small pang of guilt for rushing out the way she did, Terry deserved more than a cold, empty bed. Then again, she just couldn't take the way he was looking at her - like he was guilty himself for not saving her sooner

He was right on time, much as he always was- whether that was a positive to the people he was meeting or not. He had come directly from his office, a trim navy suit hugging his form with his Ministry robes left at his office. If he was spending even just an hour with Daphne, he wanted to look his best.

For some reason.

When he arrived, the warmth of the fireplace drew him inside, a grin tugging at his lips already when the aesthetic of the place finally hit him.

It certainly was something.

"Miss Greengrass-" he called, catching sight of her.

The fit of his suit didn't go unnoticed by Daphne, the deep blue color accepting the softness of his eyes while the cut was tailored perfectly to his shape. Which, for the record, was tall and lean-

He came walking toward her, meeting her hand with his, a genuine smile now as he took in the sight of her. There was no way the fit of that skirt went unnoticed, even if he immediately rose his eyes to meet hers.

"Right, of course-" he said, a sheepish laugh catching in his throat. "But only if you call me Cormac-"

He took a swift look around before looking back to Daphne.

"You weren't wrong about this place-"

Daphne couldn't help but smile, feeling lighter than she had all day now that Cormac had arrived. Of course, she had been looking forward to the walk through and their meeting.

"Fantastic, isn't it? It's just so charming," she mused, enjoying the look on his face as he took everything in.

"I had them prepare a sampling for the two of us as well. I hope you haven't eaten-"
