"Trust me mate, talking to her while you're a mess won't make it any easier." Neither did NOT talking, and not seeing someone for almost a decade and then hiring them and watching them date that tosser Recard. That was a learned lesson.
"Clean yourself up, sleep, come back. You can talk to her then. Say sorry... if you must." He understood. Van gave the auror a hard look. "That's an order. I need you rested and we've just hired a new load of employees. Its busy out there, and I can't have you stomping around, looking like you've broken out of the holding rooms, muttering insanities under your breath." He added gruffly, hiding his sympathy.
"A few more hours won't hurt you."
He turned to Lily, expression apologetic. "Could you take him back to mine, fix him up?"
SPOILER!!: Lily

Cause she had a bag. A Healer bag. Hot. Yep.
And that was THAT. She'd decided. "Healer's orders." She added to BOTH of them. Obviously Van was in charge around here, but she was mostly in charge of him, so she got to decide. Hehe. She looked at the man again, "I want you to sit on the couch until I get there." AKA, don't be heroic and do something... Gryffindorish.
She knew the urge well, but it must be fought more often than not.
Then, to Van, she stepped close and got a kiss. Hehe. "I'll talk to you later." THAT was a promise. "Love you." HEHEHE. With that, she went to the fireplace, already knowing where Van stashed the floo powder. She waved goodbye before she left.
Jax wanted to argue, he truly did - and before he'd gone "MIA", he would have. Now however, he didn't have it in him. Especially not today.
"Come back later?" Jax said softly, then he sighed nodding a little.
"Just a few hours." He said, wondering if he'd be able to sleep at all. It hadn't been coming to him easily lately, an hour or two at most a night. He had too much to do - too much to sort out. Mentally and physically. Sigh.
"New Employees? When is their induction?" He asked, figuring he should go to - it would give him a chance to catch up with what was happening in the Ministry... it had been a long time since he had truly been here. Well, he would go if Van didn't mind of course.
"Yes, Ma'am." Jax said softly, nodding his head in her direction as she moved to the fireplace, and then disappeared.
"I'll get fixed up, have a shower and then grab a few hours of sleep, it that is okay with you?" He asked his boss slowly. He would rather have gone home, but he knew that Van's house would be as protected as his own - if not more so considering how long he had been away. He moved in the direction of the fireplace, but didn't reach for floo powder yet. He hadn't been dismissed.
