[Egg's eyes light up when she mentions the dog. This is a person who brought a dog to a corporate picnic. She immediately has good feelings about Tabris and she is enough of an excuse to get away from this mess for a while.]
Yes! I'm Ellana from HR, we spoke on the phone.
[Egg looks down at her clipboard and hums at it thoughtfully.]
Oh, darn, looks like I forgot my attendance sheet...Josie, I'll be right back! Tabris, you can come with me.
[She smiles her most diplomatic smile at Josephine and ushers Tabris away from the group. Once they're far enough away that Egg can be reasonably sure they won't overhear her she lets her face drop.]
Oh my god thank you for showing up when you did, I had no idea when I was going to be able to get out of there.
[She looks back at her coworkers to see if they're paying attention (they aren't) and then looks back.]
Listen, we have free food coming later but you do not have to stay here any longer than you want to. If you guys are into ice breakers and team building exercises you are more than welcome to join in, I am sure that Josie would be delighted if you did, but I don't even want to be doing this so I totally understand if you all disappear into the woods over there at some point.
[She gestures to some trees at the end of the field for emphasis.]
