Everyone had one secret or another that they preferred not talking about. "Hobbies are important as well," he replied idly, picking up another canapé simply to give him something else to do.

Especially as she called him on his evasion, and he looked at her with a blank expression. "A good characteristic of a prosecutor," he replied, the slightest of smiles creeping onto his face. Especially as she conceded, but the amusement shut down again as she took another route for the conversation. From one sticky topic to another, it seemed, and he glanced away and watched Isobel speaking with another blonde for a moment before answering. It gave him time to formulate an answer, anyhow. "That's another one of those things...," he replied, starting to shut down again before he remembered that she'd keep poking. "I don't really look. And in fact, People haven't really asked, either." Not that he was against getting into another relationship, but ther was always that fear that whoever he got involved with would end up on the radar of certain people, and situations would repeat. Even if he was fairly certain that Gabriel wasn't getting out of Italian Wizarding prison any time soon. "Not to mention recent events precluded actually leaving the office very often." Except for when he was on the search for D'Isigny. There weren't too many opportunities when he hadn't left the office longer than to go home and shower before returning to the job. He had a feeling things were going to be different again, though.

[color="Red"]"I think so," Laurie said amused. Yeah she saw that smile, however small it was, it was still a smile. And just like that it was gone. Hmm. At least he wasn't stupid as he knew she wouldn't take that for an answer and went on to explain. "I'm of the opinion that MLE people spend too much time in their own head," she said eying him pointedly.

Grabbing a strawberry she bit into it carefully as she thought. "I do believe the man is supposed to ask the woman out," she teased with a wink as she took a sip of her champagne. "But considering you are at the office about as much as I am...I can understand that." It'd been...awhile since she was on a proper date herself the workaholic she was. "Well, Mr. Escort, care to take me out on the dance floor? It's been awhile but I promise not to squish your toes too badly." She set down her glass and the stem of the strawberry on a clean plate and smiled up at him. "Us workholics have to stick together after all."
