Grayson!
Fuming in the lift to get out of this damned place, Fiona's mind kept replaying the infuriating meeting she'd just had with the official behind the M.A.G.I.C. information desk. She wasn't allowed to ask questions until their meeting, here's a brochure with the documents you need to bring to the meeting, see you at the meeting---don't bring your muggle husband.

Fiona's arms were tightly crossed as she pushed into the corner of the lift, ignoring the ministry workers coming on and off without a second look toward her. It was so strange--yesterday she was having a conversation with Isobel about how she didn't feel any different, being a pureblood, from a muggleborn, even a muggle. It just never came into her mind that there was something better about it, that it was a privilege and honor to not have any muggles in your family, but today. Today she found herself feeling insulted that they were questioning her blood status, and that made her sick.

She needed to fix this. Brianna's internship was at stake, and if she couldn't find the right documents, her sister might lose everything she worked so hard for and--Fiona let out a shuddering breath, angry at everything going on right now, especially the tears in her eyes. Brilliant.

"Damn," He mused with a smirk of his own as she leaned forward, "You caught me. I'm planning an elaborate forgery in my head right now. I think perhaps we'll plant it in your study and pretend that it'd been there the whole time, don't you think?"

Honestly, that wasn't that bad a plan ... but it was definitely not his style. Grayson dealt with things using intimidation and anger because it was what he was good at. He shifted slightly and tapped one of his gloved fingers against the table, eying Fiona.

"But honestly, Fiona, I think we both know that the Ministry is sniffing for leads because they're bored idiots." The waitress brought the tea and Grayson poured some for Fiona and then for himself before he continued, arching his brow at her again. "They're relatively easily distracted, however."

Her chin dropped slightly, a suspicious glance crossing her features. She didn't know why he couldn't take the easy, clean and straightforward road, but Fiona also reminded herself that Grayson never made things easy. She clicked her tongue a few times, trying to find the alternate meanings of his words, but decided that what her mind was coming up with could not be what he was actually suggesting.

"I don't think I know what you mean," she said, keeping her eyes locked onto his. Maybe if she mentally willed herself to come up with her own idea, she wouldn't have to go along with anything...unsavory, because that's all that was coming to mind with the look on his face and the tone of his voice.

"I think you know exactly what I mean," he mused with a slight shake of his head. "I plan to go in and speak to them rationally until they see the light." Which was ... more or less what he was planning to do, if one were to clip out all of the child-inappropriate parts of his plan.

That was about what he did whenever he talked to ... other people about what he did, anyway.

"Mmhm," Fiona hummed, taking a sip of her drink. It was scary how easily she was able to avoid getting shaken up by his words. Because--they were innocent enough, for sure, but Fiona knew better and--didn't care.

She wondered if Brianna would be upset by these kinds of methods, not going about the blood status issues in the proper way and...circumventing trouble that she knew would confront them. The only reason they were questioning her anyway was the fact that she had married a muggle (the thought infuriated her, but it had to be the reason; they didn't have enemies, she didn't think), so...

"Give me a week to try and figure this out on my own," she said, a smirk on her lips, "and...if things go as I have a feeling they will, do I have permission to contact you to accept your help?"

Grayson smoothed his hand through his hair after a moment, thinking. Women, always trying to be independent and solve things that were bigger than them with sunshine and love.

...okay, he knew that was only partially true... but that was how he saw it right now. He took a slow sip of his tea and glanced to Fiona again, flashing her a smirk.

"Just say the word, at that point." He'd set things up so that he'd literally have to pay one visit to someone and then things would be completely solved.
