The young man was suspicious. Very suspicio--
Oh, Ptolemy! She had noticed him and was TALKING to him now. He cursed himself for not having gone straight to his lab. But ironically he did care about the safety of the Ministry employees.
At least he thought it was ironic.
The 26 year-old cleared his throat before speaking. "Uh, um. No, ma'am." He said awkwardly, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking around uneasily. It would be best to just go to his lab now. Come on, legs, take him to the lab. Now!
... "Did that box go through inspection before you brought it here?" Akjfgndskljfnsj. For the love of Merlin, what was he doing?? Derek had to explain himself now, unfortunately. Even he new that the situation just got more awkward. "I uh... I meant no offense. It's just that... we had problems with an infestation last year." Did she know about it? "Here... in the Ministry. Many employees." Was he making it worse? Did that make sense?
Maybe he would just leave now... but that box! He couldn't take his eyes off it! Quote:

She stopped when she noticed Derek having some sort of staring contest with one of their new employees, a woman who looked like she would belong here quite nicely. *Poor woman though-- Derek can be weird when first meeting someone. I'd better go and see what is going on.*
She walked up to the two, "Hello, Derek," She greeted him before turning towards the woman and holding out her hand, "Hi, I'm Jade-- I'm one of the Reminisciators. Nice to meet you." Tamara Scamander was NOT interested in this CHILD'S suspicions about her, or whatever. Turning to look at him she narrowed her eyes. Placing her hands on her hips she gave one curt nod before speaking. "I would appreciate it if you would mind your own business, but yes. I am a transfer from the Minister's Office so I am more than up to speed on Ministry policy, for the record. Now if you don't mind I would like to get back to the task at hand." Which was code for MOVE ALONG.
Then there was another one... Oh she felt the need to give her rank when she introduced herself. Was this a thing now? Nodding absently in her direction she said, "Tamara Scamander. You can call me Tamara or Mrs. Scamander." Yep. |
