She approached the drawers that had been pulled out. "These drawers' labels are pretty self-explanitory. Dishes, slides and vials in this one... swabs, wipes, and sprays this one... so on," she gestured. "If you would be so kind as to just get it all back where it goes, that would be most helpful. Afterwards, would you remove the labels, please? I know this lab like the back of my hand... This way, anyone wanting anything will have to come to me to find it," she muttered bitterly. It was a shame she would have to do that, but if it's what she had to do to keep people from destroying her lab-- she would do it.
She drew her wand and levitated the rest of the beakers onto one table, beginning to inspect and sort them according to what kind of cleaning needed to be done. "So, you're the new hit wizard, hm? That's very interesting. Before I came to the ministry, I was a private investigator. What made you want to go into that line of work?"
Sometimes small talk was the best kind. Unlike some of the other new employees, Elinor was starting to like Benjy. She didn't mind the idle conversation. Benjy smirked a bit when Elinor corrected herself, but as soon as she started explaining where everything went, he went back to focusing and just smiling. "Absolutely..." He said before getting to work and sending various items back to their drawers. It had to be easier when you had more than one person working.
Still waving his wand and sorting some of the glassware, the redhead glanced over at the beakers that Elinor was sorting. "Yep... the new bait." He mumbled, smirking somewhat. "Well... I used to work for a magical police force in Luxembourg right after college but I wanted to be closer to home so I decided to move back here to London and try to get a job here in the ministry." Probably not the exact answer she was expecting but that was his story. "What about you? Why a lab tech?" It was a pretty large change from a private investigator. |
