Hearing his name, Alexander turned on his heels, coming face to face with Wes. "Ahh, Wes," he said, sticking out his hand for a shake. Now that he was no longer the Minister of Magic, he felt less enthused to address people by Mr. along with their last name. "It was a good run," he agreed with a nod, "but it's going to be an even better retirement. I think I might take the family on an extended vacation." He grinned. He was thinking a month or so away from everyday life. It'd be nice. Of course, he'd have to wait until Hecate was out of school for the summer...

Alexander met the man's hand shake for shake. "...and it's good to see you," he remarked. "A congratulations is also in order, I assume." He nodded in the man's direction. "I'm glad to hand it over."

...and he was. To anybody who would take it, really.

"Bittersweet?" he asked. Shaking his head, he added, "Not in the least. It was a good run, but at the end of the day, it's a job, and a very demanding one at that. I'm happy to go home to the wife and kids and do something special with them." Not that he hadn't in the past, but he had much more time to dedicate to it now, and besides, no one would be sending annoying owls demanding his attention on his time away.

Dealing with the clean-up from the Cult and that whole... infection thing. Must not have been fun for the guy.

It was easy to be pleasant when the man in charge was on his way out, even if Albert didn't find Alexander the least bit objectionable. It was still easy to be pleasant.
