"Oh, absolutely---spending more time in Montrose is one reason why Seth and I teamed up."
Henry would refrain from telling Victoria that he was practically bribed into taking the job, that no other agents wanted to deal with the mess his brother had created for himself. Adding to the fact that the Magpies administration had nearly doubled his usual signing salary, Henry really couldn't have said no.
Seth probably knew about all that, that Henry needed to be nearly bribed to take on the job, but what his brother didn't need to know was that---things weren't so terrible. He and Seth still weren't on the best of terms, but Henry could actually tolerate his brother. More like---he liked spending time with his niece, really, because she wasn't ridiculous like her father and she was family. He'd try to help her become quite the Slytherin, of course.
Victoria was quite nice; their talk during their short walk to the restaurant was nice and fast-paced. There wasn't a moment of awkward silence, but whether that was her nerves keeping her chattering or his mind being set into business mode, Henry wasn't sure. He pushed the doors of the restaurant opened and grinned immediately when he saw a waitress drop a tray of food at the sight of them---or, well, Victoria.
"Ah, see---" He pointed over the bar at the sparkling new display that was flashing images and facts about the Magpies' newest flier, "They already love you."
