 Slytherin by heart
He stepped forward, no real demeanor present. Where a man's most emotionless expression still proved to be human, he had no signs of being so. His social mannerisms were gone. His eyes seemed to flash from navy to ice blue for the barest of moments. The most that Derek could get from the man, if he was even paying attention, was that he was being analyzed. He stood there just long enough to begin talking before Derek could do a thing.
"Mr. Meriwether, things are changing. You will have to accept that much. I was told you haven't had a supervisor until now, and that has given you an incredible amount of freedom, I am sure. It has also allowed you to become territorial. Territorialism is for animals, not the civilized. Rather, when you're ready to speak to me about how our lab is to be run, we should do so. Obviously, my system does not work for you. It is simply more efficient for me. But as we will have to work closely together, disturbing your methodologies would only counteract my own efficacy. You can have the lab arranged however you please. I am obviously more adaptable than you, and so, I'll learn your system for your sake. However, the lab is far too necessary for the department to have to deal with your animistic tendencies."
He actually didn't care whether or not Derek was willing to work with him, but if Derek was going to be a pain in his backside, he would do the same.
