Anneliese!
His lunch break should be spent eating lunch, not trying out cake. Though, by looks of things, he was going to have his fill of wedding cake and would be terribly sluggish for the rest of the day, and---ergh. At least it was good. Most of it, anyway. Will wasn't having a hard time doing wedding planning, because he and Anneliese, they managed to agree on a lot of things. Plus he wasn't all that interested--well, no, he was interested, but he wasn't that hard to please. If anything, Erin would go out with Anneliese and they'd have their fun, Will trusted his sister to not make things too girly. She always had his best interests in mind.

...who was he kidding, Will went on these things to make sure the hall wasn't decked out in pink and lavender and he was stuck wearing a grotesque set of frilly robes.

"We should just do chocolate and be done with it," he said with an affirmative nod, pointing at the last plate they'd tried. The table seemed to go on for kilometers, and the women trying to sell them the cake was off fixing a catastrophe in the kitchen. Will took a new fork (such a waste of forks, a new one for each cake--) and jabbed the latest piece, pulling a face at the lemon flavor. "Eeearrgh, no."

Alright, now at this point, she could really care less about cake. This new subject was much more interesting, because they were on the topic of Caradoc, which meant that they could talk about Emmeline, and Anneliese didn't really care if Will didn't want to because she needed to. Anneliese sat up straight in her chair, turning fully to him. And even though she had been watching his face intently, she had missed the slight frown that had formed on his.

"No, I just---" she started, but then stopped for a moment. She--Will wanted to marry her, right? Well... then he might as well be aware now that she had a serious gossiping problem when it came to her friend's lives. Not to other people she didn't know, no no that was wrong, but, urgh, she couldn't help but talk about Emmeline's new love life development when she knew Will would say next to nothing about it to anyone. So, Anneliese clicked her heals together and patted down her hair before continuing.

"I've been dying to talk to--- Ellie, but she hasn't been--- and I know you won't really care, but I have to talk to someone about this, because it's too good to--- so big--- okay, when I went over to Emmeline's on Sunday--- she was-- Caradoc was there, and--- I--- walked in on them and she was--- but I never actually saw him, but she said that--- he was there, but why would they be--- do you know anything?" Ahhhh. She felt so much better.

He nearly swallowed the fork, he choke so hard on the piece of cake he'd slipped into his mouth during her spiel. Dearborn with---Will had to wrap his mind around the fact of Caradoc snogging anyone, first off, because it was rare that information like that ever really leaked---and then to deal with the bit about it being Emmeline. No, that couldn't be right. No man in their right mind would get involved with that, just look at the nutters she'd dated; Fenwick, Madley, Lupin---well, it wasn't as if Caradoc was any saner than them, but he was Slytherin so that ranked him higher and---

And it wasn't that Emmeline wasn't pretty, no, no, she was very pretty (not that he'd ever dare say anything remotely like that in front of Anneliese, but--) but you had to get past all the annoyances she brought along to get to that point, which Will quite honestly didn't think Dearborn's attention span could handle. Fuck, she must be a good shag if he's dealing with her---

"You're talking about your roommate, Emmeline Vance and---my old captain, Caradoc Dearborn, correct?" Will asked, finally swallowing his cake. Maybe they shouldn't get this one, now he was just going to think of this lovely conversation, "Because I don't believe a bloody word of that!"

Her eyes widened to Will's reaction, and she jumped in her seat a bit. See, see this was why she had to talk to someone about this because, well--- obviously Emmeline didn't exactly have the time, which meant that they would have to wait until school, or even on the train and, ugh, she couldn't wait that long. The thought that the only reason they would be able to because Juliet wouldn't be there was--- Anneliese completely pushed it out of her mind, refusing to accept the fact that her friend was sick. They were simply watching Nibbles because Juliet was unable to at the moment, that's all.

"I--- yes! Well! How many Caradocs ar--- nooooo," Anneliese half gasped, hands going up to her hair to play with it. He didn't---? Well, she technically hadn't seen--- but Emmeline wouldn't lie to her about something like--- that. No, no she would never! So-- but. Wait.

"It is! I--- well, I never actually saw him, but--- it has to be!" She tried to keep her voice down as much as possible, and for the moment, Anneliese was doing well at not shrieking. Because, oh, it was so... so... she would be lying if she said that she had never actually--- well! Obviously they were going to talk about Juliet's hot older brother during their monthly all-nighter. And Ian too. But--

"Why--- why not?"

"Because---" Will started, hand going up to start this very delusional discussion. Dearborn snogging Vance, please---"Because--"

For a very delusional argument, Will had absolutely no points to make. Well. No points that he could actually say out loud to Anneliese. It wasn't as if he didn't have his suspicions against Emmeline, that she was doing something against the Dark Lord (his lack of a finger could tell you that--), but no one had really believed him until the Greenland incident. See, Will knew he wasn't crazy, there was definitely a reason to suspect her, and now---well. Dearborn knew.

Hm. Well. Maybe he was just trying to kill her for the Dark Lord, or something. That would make the most sense.

"Because where did it come from? I doubt her overbearing lug of a cousin would appreciate that, and you know how she is with Frank," as the words came out Will slowly realized how pissed off Frank would be about all of this. Will tried to keep the glee off of his face as he leaned forward, feigning deep interest in the topic. "She talked to you about everything?"

See, see this topic was that good that even Will was hard pressed for words of explanation. Anneliese would have given an impressed smirk, if she had not been so engrossed in their conversation. Her head titled to the side for a moment, and she propped her elbow back on the surface of the table.

"Well," Anneliese started, not finding Will's newfound interest strange one bit (he cared, that was all). "I--" Obviously Emmeline told her everything. And Emmeline had been the one to tell her, because where else would she be getting this from? And--- hm. Yes, Emmeline's cousin would definitely be not-- happy about this. But he never was, it seemed to her. Personally, Anneliese was convinced from the things that Emmeline told her that Frank would never let Emmeline date anyone, so.

"Ye--es. See, it's not that--- but-- he doesn't like anyone anyway. And--- see?" Okay, maybe she needed to calm down.

Will's 'eager' expression faltered and he smirked. He was not going to get any clearer information out of her. Which was strange, because he was used to a woman's verbalized jumbled thoughts after living with all of his sisters, but the investigating part of his training had actually seemed to tone his listening skills. Or, at least, it made listening to rambles a bit intolerable.

"Well," Will said, pushing back his chair, his eyes widening as he did. "That's very interesting. But I think you need to talk to Bell, she'll be much more entertaining."

And while she did, Will would try to come up with the best time to drop the information into Frank's schedule. In locker rooms in the morning and ruin his entire day? After training, to ruin any chance of sleep, or in the middle of work so that Frank ended up missing a limb from being so distracted.

Decisions, decisions.

"Oh. Honeymoon." Will grinned, the green design on the cake reminding him of palm trees. His brother-in-laws had been teasing. "Where do you want to go?"
