 Is way too early in the morning here to quote, Damien, Dorian & Ella Dem Carters | even 🕊🕊 have pride | | Expecto PAWtronum 🐈 | U-NA-GI
Mmhm. She saw that raised eyebrow. Now her smile was a little more genuine, since Dorian seemed a little more relaxed. "I am now, thank you." He would probably take that the wrong way, but that wasn't her problem. Not since she had bigger fish to fry. Like, how to explain her larger physique now that it appeared that her plan to hide it hadn't worked out quite as planned. But honestly, she had figured it was a doomed plan from the start, especially since her boy had decided to be active today.
And why invite the homeless dude? Oh wait, she recognized him. Or thought she did anyway. Damien Jackson, the former Head Auror. She really only knew him by face and name, since he had left after her first year in the MLE and she had tended to stick with those in her own side of the department back then. Still, he got a nod and a wave. Being polite and all.
The next person to come in, she didn't really know all that well either. But she was pretty sure the woman was her fellow Level Four head. And the confirmation of that came when she heard Dorian go over and try to start a conversation. Serious secondhand embarrassment followed soon after. What a way to start. No wonders it hadn't seemed like the guy had dated much ever since she'd meant him. Anyway, she figured she'd better properly introduce herself to her levelmate and approached, shaking her head at Mr. Smooth while she was at it with a glint of amusement in her eyes. "Hello, Ms. Wellington, correct? Roxanne Carter, the new Environmental Head and this right here," she began with a genuine smile and tilting her head his direction "is Dorian Tamerlane of the MLE. This place looks lovely, doesn't it?" And that was how it was done.
