[@Habibi359] I am [i]delighted[/i] by this idea. It would be an interesting dynamic, since Rob still seems a bit wary of the supernatural. I have a feeling that Rob's going to walk away from his desk on more than one occasion and return to find a mug of coffee sitting there that wasn't there before. It may also be [i]cold,[/i] half the time, as the person gifting it to him will never do it when he's actually in the room... Mandy's like a brownie; you do not actually [i]mention[/i] the coffee, but if you accept the coffee, it's her signal to move on to step two in her circular friend-making process. 

[@vietmyke] Your response made me grin! It may never come up aloud, but I think Mandy's going to be fascinated as much by the fact that Jacob's a father as by his magical talents. Like Rob, he might notice her occasionally appearing in the room he's in--seated far away, without making noise. A few days later, she might move to sitting a few desks away, still doing her own thing. If that goes well, she might sit a little closer, and on, and on, until... Well, suddenly, you have a cat. :P
