The only person who was going to instruct her on what she would do in the department was Gina. No one else. However, Sophie was an adult, she was a mother. She was not going to get in a confrontation with a younger girl. It, in all honesty, was not worth her time to argue.
So she smiled sweetly to the young girl and said, "It's Mrs. Skylar, Ms. Skylar is my daughter Katrina. And I am okay standing, thank you for your concern though.". Then she lookee to Gavin as he explained the entire mission that they were apparently going on. The whole operation sounded dangerous and not very well thought out. The sentiments were all well and good, however, too much could go wrong. They needed to think this through. "I think that this problem needs to be addressed, but how do you plan to execute this plan? What if something goes wrong? I mean, have you even consulted the aurors? We are not trained wizards in combat? What if something goes wrong? I mean, I speak French so I will do what you want me to do, but I really think you need to consult the aurors, for safety purposes..."
Turning as Sophie once again spoke he nodded with a smile. She was finally giving input! The one thing he didn't understand was that he was the same age as she was, or he was sure he was anyway, but that she was acting like she was so much older. Perhaps she was in the level 5 prior to him joining, perhaps not, he'd had just as much experience if not more he was sure. Shrugging those unasked questions away though he decided to just answer her questions.
"Good question Sophie." Yes he went there, Gina asked them to be on a first name basis and he considered that appropriate, especially when they were making a team that must work well together. "Gina has asked at this point to keep law enforcement out of this, if they are required we will contact them in time. But for now we're not looking at combat or finding a reason to need the aurors. We are just there to take information and find reason for law enforcement to make arrests and take down this ring."
Nodding at her concerns he knew precisely how badly things could go wrong "Things could always turn nasty, if the plan doesn't go smoothly anything could happen yes. But if we remember we're not there to force information from them and stick to our plan, we have a good chance of getting this accomplished."
If the right questions were asked, and requesting to test portkeys went through all right, they might just be able to successfully pull this off. He didn't want them thinking though he and Katrina were there to tell THEM what to do, but for them to work as a team and decide as a TEAM what they were each going to do.
