The little smirk on Van's face indicated he knew full well that Cade had objected to Mr. Chambers, and probably knew why. Her shoulders untightened, and she offered a little smile of her own. "That's a complicated business. Some get into it believing there is more glory and more money, but that's hardly the case for at least the first four or five years." And some got into it to circumvent the law. Merlin knew that's why her husband's partner had been in it.

"It feels like it is." Van answered. Sure he laid most of it on the table -not all of it, mind, he couldn't lay it all out because of Gevrik and his mind-reading - but it still felt as if he used his employees as pawns to some degree. Perhaps that was the job, but Evander had always tried to know his employees as people and not as numbers. He absently turned the ring on his finger as he regarded the woman sitting in front of him.

"Most of the DMLE are due for pay reviews now." She was no exception. Van summoned her file and opened it in front of him. "You've been upskilling quite steadily, even outside of your assistance with eradicating the cult in the Ministry."
