she hadn’t seen cara in some time, but she’d been meaning to. so, juniper ordered them lunch before tipping her wand to bring herself to the doors of st. mungo’s. she made way for the front desk, smiling at the clerk. “lunch delivery for cara duffy,” the witch hummed. the other chuckled and waved her off, and she continued on her way up to cara’s floor.

"Okay, all done!" Cara beamed at the elderly wizard whose badly cast incendio burnt his arm. She presented his clear, pink skin back at him when her work was through. "And remember to check your wand before you use it." Cara helped the gentlemen leave, following him to the front desk where she took her leave. A whoosh of air escaped her as she leaned against the counter. Just then, the door to the stairs opened and Cara turned to see who came in.
"Juni!" She let out a startled laugh and stood back up. "I didn't expect to see you here."

the brunette smiled bright, a sheepish grin crossing her face. “figured i’d pop in with some lunch, see how you were doing,” juniper said, holding up the bag. “have some time to sit?”

It was always so good to see Juniper. Cara smiled warmly at her friend. "Yeah, of course." She turned to her preceptor who was sitting down at the desk. "Lainey, I'm going to head to lunch now." The blonde haired witch waved her off and she turned back to June with a bright smile. "Okay! Let's go."
They made it to the cafeteria and Cara found them a quiet spot in the corner. "Thank you for this. It's very sweet of you."

juniper watched as cara talked to the other, and followed behind her with a smile plastered to her face. when they reached the cafeteria, the other lead her to a place to sit some out of the way, and juniper placed the bag down before taking her seat. "you don't need to thank me," she cooed. "it's the least i could do. i've been so caught up with the investigation ... my potions are suffering." the witch laughed then, a mere joke; she never minded when the creatures took her away from her other interests. "i heard through the grapevine that you did a killer job on that auror, tell me 'bout it?"

Cara was thankful to have found such a great friend in Juniper. The brunette smiled at the other witch and opened the bag to pull out the food. Her stomach grumbled slightly when she saw the spread before her, realizing then just how hungry she was. It was hard to make time to eat in her line of work. Cara ate as Juniper spoke, chuckling along with her. She knew about the investigation and she knew that there was more to interest her friend than just the case.
Juni mentioned JJ and her face lit up, warmth spreading along her cheekbones. Cara had never thought of a patient as frequently as she did him, her mind replaying every moment from start to finish until she had every detail memorized. She offered June a sheepish smile and set her sandwich down. “I just did my job,” she said with a small shrug, though she knew Juniper wouldn’t be convinced. “I don’t know, Juni, he… I don’t know what to feel.”

cara was always so modest when talking about herself, and juniper absolutely picked up on the runaround that she tried to give her. taking small bites of her sandwich, her brow raised at the others words, her own smile dancing across her pale red lips. "that bad, huh?" she joked, head shaking slowly. "has he come back to get checked, yet?" she inquired. "jus curious. word on the street is he was quite smitten with you, too."

Cara could feel the heat rising to her face as her friend spoke, a sudden shyness taking over her. She had never been in this position before; where a guy liked her and she maybe liked him, too. It was all very new to her and she honestly didn’t know how to act. Cara picked up her sandwich and took a minuscule bite, chewing slowly as she pondered over Juni’s words.
“Not that I’m aware. How do you know all this?” She asked after a moment, though she felt like she knew the answer. It had only been a few days since he fell into her life, but Cara knew the auror June was working with was American as well. Maybe there’s a connection there she didn’t know about.

there was a mischievous look on her face as she sipped her tea, setting it down before settling to rest against her seat with her legs crossing. "he's come to the sanctuary so i can help with recovery. i think its ... more emotional damage than physical," juniper said. "like i said, you did a wonderful job healing that arm up. he also happens to be rip's brother." she was smirking now, eyeing cara as she took another sip of her drink, setting it down and leaning into the table. "i've not told him i know you, but he's done nothing but babble like an idiot about the nurse who fixed him up."

There was a pang that went through her chest as she thought about the man’s emotional wounds. If Cara was going to be a Healer, then she needed to learn how to help heal those injuries as well as the physical ones. She was glad, at least, that he found solace in Juniper who Cara knew to be an excellent friend. The fact that he was Rip’s brother was something she should have gathered from his accent.
Cara was definitely blushing now, her face bright red as the warmth flooded through her. He was gushing about her? Suddenly, she felt so self-conscious, raising a hand to smooth the fly away hairs that escaped her plait. “I had no idea I made that strong of an impression,” she said shyly, raising her cup to her lips for a sip. As the bottom of the cup touched the table, she wondered… “Does he - does he come to you often?” Cara wasn’t jealous; she was wondering for other reasons.

the older witch tilted her head, a soft chuckle escaping her at cara’s words. self image was a fickle thing, juniper knew. she could see the internal struggle the other healer was dealing with in that moment, reaching out to pat her hand with her own. “you were the first person he saw after facing death, and you’re good at what you do,” she confirmed. “it’s no surprise you’d have made an impression. plus … he thinks you’re pretty cute.” she ended the statement with a nod of her head. at cara’s question, juniper gave a small nod. “yes and no. rip is doing his training course, he doesn’t always get a choice.” the witch grabbed the last bit of her sandwich and ate it. “there will be an investigation for what happened. i don’t know the details yet, but i’ll keep you updated, yeah?”

She supposed that much was true, but Cara didn't see that she did anything special. He was in need of healing and she healed him, end of story. Except it wasn't that simple, was it? If it was, she wouldn't have been left wondering about him as often as she had. When Juniper said he thinks she's cute, she felt more warmth on her face. "The feeling is definitely mutual," she said softly, her cheeks burning. There had been boys that Cara had crushed on in the past, but there was never one who made her feel... well, seen. His good looks only made the draw she felt toward him stronger. But it was his eyes that haunted her every step.
"Yeah, of course," she replied with a smile, taking the opportunity to eat more of her food. Cara was eager to take the heat off herself, so when she swallowed her bite she looked back up at Juniper. "Has Rip said anything to you since he kissed you?"
