He looked up as he caught sight of movement beside him, smiling brightly as he spotted Frida joining the group.
"Of course I'm willing, Mrs Brown," he answered giving her a look that said he'd be hurt if she transferred. "Who'd be here with me and all the newbies if you left...I'd be all alone," the reminiscator added with a childish pout, quite the opposite to his real age as the eldest staff member on the level.
Smiling, and feeling a little more at ease, Frida took a seat at her desk. She'd forgotten how this chair felt...which was pretty awful in all honesty (not enough cushion).
"Gavin, if I want to see pouting I'll go back home." Frida chuckled a little bit.
"How's everything been holding up? I'm sorry to have been away for so long, leaving you all behind. But I'm sure you can understand why." Frida started to organize her desktop, placing the books toward the front, and the files in their appropriate drawers. She brought out her small glass case, which as always, held a nice amount of sweets inside, and placed it on the right side of her desk.
"You weren't all by yourself while I was away...were you?" She played with her wedding band absentmindedly; nervously. Maybe it was better if Frida didn't know the answer to this. It might only make her already guilty mind feel even heavier.
"I am glad to see that the office is still in one piece." Quote:

Frida stopped conversing with Gavin for a moment and looked to another individual. The woman's eyes widened. Had she gotten a new recruit and not been informed?! She recognized Emerald though, thankfully.
'Oh...my gosh.' She hung her head for a moment. It was going to be tough getting back into the ministry routine, and now that Frida was on call for emergencies again, she doubted that she would be getting much sleep.
Frida smiled and nodded politely, but turned to Gavin again for another moment. It would be terribly rude of her to simply get up and leave without hearing the man's reply. Especially since he was an old friend of Frida's.
