( not believing in fucking about, gwen is strongly in favour of having this particular ball rolling sooner than later. she's promptly on time to see him, tying her (big) dog's leash up outside the office and habitually, briefly checking her own reflection in the nearest window before she goes inside. the clothes she arrived in are the nicest she has, for now, so it's all sleek white and high, bouncy curled ponytail and she does make a decent first impression when she's, you know, not talking.
this is familiar ground, unlike more or less everything else about being here. of the many things gwen's never done for herself, dealing with the investment manager isn't one of them; her father's never actually mismanaged their money, but a lack of stability in life will tend to send a person looking for things they can control to protect themselves.
it just makes her feel better to know she wouldn't need to rely entirely on someone else. )
