No greetings, no nothing. He wasn't even listening to his co-workers and their silly small talk. Derek just wanted his lab back. He wished it had all been an awful nightmare, but unfortunately... he was aware that it hadn't. It was all bloody real.
SIGH.

There had to be something Divination-y about it. It wasn't exactly an common occurrence, right? After the tour, it made sense to just avoid the lab, right? Leave it to the not-so-new people to take care of it. Cleaning up an explosion was more of a second day on the job sort of thing anyway.
A couple of people inside the conference room.
Great. It would be a lot easier to enter and empty room and introduce herself as people came in. Of course, she wouldn't be alone anyway, thanks to the dude with the kid who'd made her pay for a crystal ball she couldn't afford and the tour guide. What was she supposed to
say?
She didn't want to just be rude and say nothing - she was only rude when she saw it necessary. And when it came to that Eleanor person.
Persephone smiled, though it could easily be mistaken for a grimace and just chose the nearest empty seat. It was a good thing this job came with a decent wage, otherwise there'd be a blurry line that would look suspiciously Sephy-like zooming through the door.

Ceasing playing with his tie, he resisted the temptation to sit on his hands which was usually what he did to stop any inadvertent fidgeting (his therapist said it made him look like a twelve year old boy), and he looked over at the fellow tea drinker. He smiled slightly and, although it was a nervous smile, it was genuine.
“Nice to meet you too.” He replied nervously. He cleared his throat, all too aware that most employees in the room were deadly silent. “What division are you in?” Smaaalll talk. Howard's Achilles Heal.
Ah, the explosion. It had looked bad. Very VERY bad.. before Howard escaped left the scene.
More employees arrived and Howard began fidgeting nervously once again.
Bradley gave a little nod towards Howard to show he had heard and agreed, or well something like that, but he knew the guy was scared. He was nothing but a kid after all, he felt for the guy, he'd been in that situation before. Still was sometimes. He turned his head towards the door when he heard it open and two more people walked in, those he didn't know. New people. He gave them all a smile and a nod but said nothing as at that moment he heard Howard say something again,
"Research and Development. I'm a charms developer. what about yourself?" He asked interested.
He then remember the new people who'd come in and turned his head again and raised him voice to say,
"Heya guys, welcome, I'm Bradley.." Oh merlin was he turning in the main man?!
