She glanced around at the others a bit before turning back to Wesley and said,"I came to congratulate you on the promotion. I know it's not going to be a walk in the park but you must know that my doors are always open, unless I'm not there." as she eased into a sweet smile.

This was the biggest department in the ministry and would be the one to ensure everything was good.
"All right then..... Victoria," Wes just went for it and smirked, releasing her hand from his grasp. "Well that is nice to hear." He shot a glance around the room and nodded to Izzy. Should he introduce her...? Nah, the Senior Undersecretary was probably too busy for silly introductions. Other than intros to new Department Heads, that was.

He turned back to her too and nodded. "Thank you. I'm looking forward to all of the... challenges that come along with the job." Van had certainly left him in good hands, and with good leaders to work with too. "Thanks again for the warm welcome."

Wes tucked his hands into his pockets and looked back to the door to see who else was coming in and who all was leaving. He thought he heard a knock at the door, which said something, considering that the volume level in the room sure was louder than usual, and raised a brow at the Undersecretary.

"Was there anything else you needed, Vicky--- er, Victoria?" Because he probably should get back to work now.

Ohhhhhhhkay then.


Well, introductions were always one of Ben Amsten's many... many... many specialties. Unfortunately, Benjamin was at the disadvantage of already being familiar and friendly with his new head. This means he couldn't make his first impression of himself to be ten times better than he actually was. Ah well. The Director of the MMAO has to be briefed on what's new.

Ben was in his full suit and tie, like always. But instead of going to his desk, Ben decided to visit the new head first. So the New Yorker was also wearing his Fedora and carrying his briefcase. Ben knocked on the door.
Aha, so there WAS a knock at the door! Wes slipped through the crowd rather easily and wrenched it open, beckoning his division head inside. "Come on, Ben," he stepped aside. "It's Van's... going away party." Sure. For the next five minutes it was, anyway.

It wasn't as if he wasn't going to see them all again, though he could understand why Izzy might have suspected something along those lines, for old times sake.

Van's attention was caught by Alysson next and he raised one eyebrow. "A mascot? Going to rename yourselves the fighting Evanders? Or maybe, the Squidpunchers." That would be fitting.

He caught the Undersecretary's smile, and her 'friendly' offer to Wes and could barely hide his amusement, though Van did nod his head in polite greeting. Heh. Funny.

And of everything? It was Emily's little grunt that got him.

Tugged on the ol' heartstrings. She was a keeper.

And more bloody knocking.

"I'm gonna get while the getting is good. I'll be sure to pop in, and you lot know how to reach me. Perhaps shrunken-head bowling and a few drinks might be in order? Lily's expecting me though. And she has food. And I like food."

So. Grunt.

"So long, for now." He was proud of them all. If they couldn't pick that up from his grunts then they hadn't learned a thing.

Van hotfooted it through the floo, turning and saluting as he and his cane disappeared through the flames.
And... there he went. "See ya, old friend," Wes waved off his former coworker and boss with a soft smile. So they were the 'Squidpunchers' now, eh? He liked that. Wes made a mental note to name their shruken-head bowling league that.... as soon as they formed said league.

....and as soon as the office was empty. Ahem. Sneaking his way back to his desk, Wes slipped into his office chair and took to subtly staring around the room at certain individuals, not-so-patiently waiting for his employees to...well, get to work. Sappy moment was over, folks, and the world was still spinning.
