She had people to see, first. Wondering if they even knew that she was there, she headed to the good doctor's office first. Giving a knock on the door, having to focus to make sure she made any kind of noise, she waited to be welcomed in to her office. Of course, she noted the name change, but hey. Whatever. Maybe she left Jack.

"Hello, how may I hel-" But cuts herself off when she sees who it is. "Oh! What was surprise."

"'ey there, blondie," she said with a wave. "Just thought I'd stop in. Say hi to old faces and all that."

"I got bored in DC. So I requested a transfer. Just passed the test and everything." She didn't mention that Matt had been about ready to kill her, or that she was sore from it. No use in talking about that. "Figured I'd drop in and say hi. See how everyone is doing. Besides, the Stark girl came this way, so I figured I'd keep an eye on her for Boss."

Absinthe chuckles, moving out of the doorway so that Venus could come in rather than just stand at the door. "It's good to see you again, I'm sure you'll be great help. We recently received a wave of new students. They could probably use some guidance in the intel department."

The first person she talks to threatens her about the students... the second seems perfectly fine having her deal with them. "A new wave, huh?" she says, flopping down, silently, into the plush chair. She crossed one leg over the other. "How are they doing?"

"I've had a few more visits than usual. In some ways that's good, it means some students know when they should seek help. In other ways..." It just reflects on how unstable certain ones are. "Overall however, they say they've been the strongest we've had."

Well, that might be intimidating. She cocked a brow. "What about the intel? I mean, you guys have a good training program going," she said with a cock of her brow. "But what is the intelligence like?"

"I think they could use some help in questioning the criminals they capture."

Of course. Psychics. They made things easy, but people became dependent on them. Nodding thoughtfully, she lightly tapped her boot. "Interrogation. Fun. What about the other way around? How many know how to stave off an interrogation?" Some agents knew too much and if captured... Well, there was always the other side of the coin. "And how many know that there are ways to get what you want without, you know... copious amounts of violence?"

You would probably have to assess that for yourself, Vee." With so much on her own plate, she somewhat relied on her husband's reports to keep her on track of everything.

That was something she could do, pretty easily in fact. She looked over the doctor, then, and her brow furrowed in thought. "So what's with the name change?" she asked. "When I went for my transfer, everything still read Gavyns. What did I miss?" Might as well give her a chance to tell her before she went to figure it out on her own.

"There's been some family shake up...Jack's decided to take back his original surname. It has been a lot of paperwork between us and the children." She doesn't really want to go into it. Unlike Jack who'll tell anyone, Absinthe doesn't feel nearly as comfortable spreading the rumours.

Interesting. She liked interesting. "And the kids?" she asked, with a smile that hid anything. "How are they?"

Their grandmother is staying with us at the moment so they've been pretty excitable. We've also been considering letting our oldest start becoming an agent trainee." Still up for discussion of course. "Actually, I haven't really been spreading the news yet, but there's another on the way."

Venus wasn't exactly the "married with kids" type - she had other things on her mind - and it didn't occur to her that the Makaila's would have so many kids... and still be going. Surprise showed on her face and it took her a moment to respond. "Congrats? Was it a planned thing?" She chuckled, giving a shake of her head. "Never mind. Of course it was planned. Congrats, Abby."

"At this rate I'll have been on leave more than I've worked." A joke, but not too far from the truth.

It was strange what women were willing to put themselves through, in her opinion. "You have a replacement for while you're gone?" she asked. "And is Jack taking time off, too? Or just you?" AKA: Was he still the Director?

If anything, I don't think it would be too much trouble to take the baby with me if we can't find someone." She's not THAT busy all the time. "As for Jack, I don't think he'll take time off but you never know. He's got different priorities than most."

"He cares about you and the kids. Most wives wouldn't complain about that." She leaned forward and put her chin in her hands, an almost child like posture, just to emphasise her next point. "It could be so much worse. He could be like me." She winked.

She didn't intend for it to come across that way at least. "I'm happy he's the way he is. But he also has important responsibilities."

People had tried convincing her to get a desk job, saying they should leave things to the new generation... but she had refused. She was still a field agent at heart, and she enjoyed her job. Why anyone would take that sort of responsibility, she didn't know. Why someone would want to be DIRECTOR of all things confused her even more.
