Yes, Tasha had heard that the other woman was now in charge of her own department; Environment.



Grasping around for something safe to talk to Roxanne about Tasha was relieved when another guest arrived. The man was somewhat familiar but his name was not coming to mind. She knew he had played a big part in finding the cure for Isobel’s disease though. Smiling broadly she greeted him pleasantly. "Good day! You're in MLE right not Accident and Catastrophs?" Gesturing towards the circular table behind her she said "You can put your gift on that table."



After the dark haired man came a brunette woman with a gift in hand. "Good day!" Tasha greeted with a smile. "You can put your gift on that circular table unless you want to give the gift in person." she pointed out the circular table before asking curiously. "Where do you work? MLE?"


Okay Carter, you can do this. You can be nice for one party. Managing just barely to keep her eyes still in their sockets, Roxanne kept her fake smile intact as she replied to the other woman. "Thank you! It's something I've been working towards for a long time now." She left out the bit about how she hadn't expected it to be DERP, though. Not that was she disappointed by that fact or anything. In fact, it was probably for the best, given her current condition.

Or something to that regard.

Aron made his way to the ice cream parlor with a small wrapped box in his one hand - a gift from him and the wife. He had been planning on going into the lab for some forensics work, but when the invitation had arrived he knew that he had no other choice but to postpone his personal vendetta for the time being.

"G'day," he said with a slight head inclination towards everyone. Oh hey, look at that. Department traitor! Not really. Aron was happy his co-worker had received a promotion - and to a very VERY good department if he said so himself. Besides Law Enforcement, Aron would have opted to work in Environmental. "Where should I put this?" Meaning his little box for Wes.


Hearing a familiar Aussie behind her, she turned quickly, her smile melting into a authentic friendly one. "Hey Aron, long time no see!" She really was going to have to work on visiting her old department more often. Really didn't want to lose contact with any of them. At all. She didn't get a chance to complete this thought, however, because her son had chosen that moment to deliver a decent kick to her ribs. Oi. She took a deep breath while rubbing her belly. "So how has life been treating you?"

She recognized some of her fellow co-workers. Even Roxanne who was no longer working in their department. Melissa laughed. Almost everyone had promoted out of the MLE. It seemed like she was the only staff member in her unit. Things were no longer the same there in her department.

Shaking herself out of her funky mood. She looked around for the birthday boy. She had a gift for him. Not knowing what to give him since she didn't really know him that well, she decided that something like what she had in her hand would come in useful. Now all she had to do was to give it to him and then she'd be on her way home.


And there was another of her former coworkers. And she was.....laughing? "Are you okay there, Melissa?" Maybe she'd had the odd random thought run through her head that had made her laugh? It happened to her occasionally, too.

She was suddenly reminded of the wrapped gift she was carrying and went to set it on the table Natasha had pointed Aron to. When she got back, she saw that Simon and Kennedy had shown up, as well as an unknown woman. Whom she supposed was either one of Isabel's employees or someone's date. She gave each of them a polite nod, since she didn't know them as well.
