Not even bothing to sit down - because he had no intention of making this a long meeting nor lingering in here for too long - he furrowed his brow as one of his new employees wheeled in. Honestly, of all the times to get a senior citizen. At least the bloke hadn't been transferred to MLE. Underground had to be worse on his limbs than this place.
"Mr. Clark, welcome," he grumbled towards the old gent. He probably should thank him for coming, but it WAS he job to be here after all. And that mildly horrified look on the man's face? That was good sign. The more disgusted his employees were with the space the better. Motivation to get the heck out of here.
And speaking of disgusted, Tasha's faced looked like a mandrake pulled from its pot the way she was looking about. He simply gave her an inclination of the head and gestured towards one of the chairs for her to take a seat if she wanted. Or stand. He wasn't going to sit.
Good. There was Oliver. Aron had a list ten miles long for him and his division to take care of. Even better was that the man had brought something with him. Something sweet smelling. The only thing in the immediate area he had found were some old vending machines filled with spoiled and stale muggle snacks. "Any glazed ones in there?" he asked. Coffee. He should have grabbed himself a mug from the work room. Thank Merlin he had managed to get A&C's coffee maker and one of the last bags of coffee beans from the break room in the Ministry.
"If we can't brew a potion that can cure tetanus then we aren't worth our weight in salt," he snorted in reply to Rusty. Something else to keep Derek busy in the lab? Preferably not. Far too many other matters to handle this year. "Until we can clean this place up and turn it into a something more than a garbage dump...watch where you step and what you touch."
Which was going to be among their first tasks in case anyone in the room was too slow to figure that much out. Fix it up a little but by no means make it too comfortable. Comfort implied acceptance and this man was not going to accept staying here any longer than completely necessary.
