"Dramatized... how?"

"Apparently Anathema and Elodie were secretly dating. You were dating Krum, then dramatically broke up with him, and seduced Anathema away from Elodie, breaking up the relationship, breaking Elodie's heart, but there's - implications there's still an ongoing thing. And a claim you and Elodie are intense rivals and effectively sworn enemies. Significant rambling about general relationship drama, painting everyone but Krum involved in a bad light as far as I can tell - I think Skeeter dislikes both you and Elodie."

"...Wizards should watch more Eastenders."

"Get their drama fix elsewhere."

"Seriously." Sigh.

She pets Anathema's hair.

Grumble snuggle.

"People should mind their own business. Me and Elodie are friends. And me and Ellie's relationship doesn't matter to them."

"It really doesn't."

Lean. "We can probably mostly just ignore them, at least..."

"I think that'd be best. And I can just keep not doing interviews."

"People'll still bother us, but we can tell them to go away a lot."

"Should maybe talk to Elodie, too..."

"...Yeah. I'd like to. And - figure out some of the stuff we wanna do just among ourselves first..."

Nod.

She glances at Fay. "...I think I'd like to - at least at first - try to talk about it with just. Us two."

"If you two want privacy - now or later - I can step into my office."

"Please."

She nods, gently picking Scarlet up from her lap and heading into her office.

Scarlet grumps about this and jumps over to Ellie and Anathema's couch.

Hi Scarlet.

Fluffy kitty has heard petting cats makes stressful conversations better. They're here to provide this essential service.

Anathema giggles a bit, rubbing their ears.

"So."

Lean.

"So."

"It's - really important to you, right, that I'm - your girl, and not anyone else's girl? And it's - weird or upsetting to you, if I'm... Silly at or doing - things people tend to consider date-y with other people?"

"Yes. Or- when you were dancing with Elodie last night, that bothered me."

She nods. "Is it everything you'd rather I be doing with you, or - just anything date-y?"
