She didn't even have a drink on her, but even if she did, she wouldn't have raised it to that. There was no way this year was going to be better than last, and she had given up hoping for such a long time ago.
Ah, there was Wes. If she could, she would leave right after saying bye to him. Hell, if Greingoth was still Minister, she would've been able to. But not with this Minister, whom, now that she thought of it, didn't even have the decency to show up himself. Anyway, focus Carter, focus. She approached the former MLE head, stopping right beside him. "I just wanted to say, you'll be missed around here." And she really meant it, too. Awwwwwhat. This was one of the many reasons why Wes hadn't wanted to come to this silly event. Sappiness. He couldn't handle it. Everyone knew he was a big grizzly bear at heart.
"Hey, thanks Roxanne," he put a bit paw hand out and touched her lightly on the shoulder. "Australia's just a floo away, though, if you guys ever need me." And if he ever needed to escape a house full of children and a hormonal wife, he would come work for Emily for free. He still knew all the wards to sneak back into his own office.

GOOD thing he moved to mingle or else he would have missed his bro! Aron also highly approved of the man's choice of clothing.
"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes," Aron grinned as he made his way over to Wes. "How are you liking the homeland?" Meaning Australia since that was where Aron was from.
"Aron," Wes bro-nodded to his brutha from anotha level. "I love it. It's great to be back." He'd grown up there and wanted his kids to have the same experience, so it was refreshing, really. "Will you keep an eye on," he tilted his head toward Emily, "while I'm gone? And promise not to blow up any more labs?"
Not that Emily needed the extra eye, heh.

"Things are, slow but good," she replied coolly, not skipping a beat, "I was wondering when you'd show up." Whether he'd been here for some time or whether he did just turn up, she didn't know, but at least his presence was known.
Of course, now, Roxanne decided to open her mouth...
Emily refrained from commenting, she was not going to behave like a child in front of her colleagues. But she did feel the same way. She would miss Wes, and his leadership... under which she had learnt a great deal.
And then speaking of... Emily exchanged a look with Wes and cocked her head toward a lost looking soul. She recognised him from his application... it was that Stonewall kid.
Stepping forward, Emily extended her hand for a shake, "Good evening, you must be Jory Stonewall..." must be? of course he was, she knew that, she knew things. "My name's Emily Browne, your Department Head," she introduced herself, "welcome to the Ministry of Magic." And Merlin... that in itself seemed like a lot of talking. She should stop that. Simplify.

How in the world was he to recognise his Head? Best make his presence known, right? Jory cleared his throat. "Good evening,'' he said in general. Good! He sounded composed. Just needed to keep that up. "Eh, I've been around," was all Wes had to say about his whereabouts. Here in body but not mind, clearly.
Ah, there was one of their new recruits now! He offered the lad a handshake too. "And I'm your outgoing Department Head, Wes Ferguson. No pressure or anything, but you're about to join the best damn department in this entire Ministry."
