It does have a nice ring to it once you read it over and over again. “But that door. Merlin.” It.was.ugly. The architect, upon hearing his boss beckon him to come inside, took a step forward and reached out to the door knob. Max gave another disgusted face. “Tacky door…dirty knobs...this place is inf--” his thoughts were cut short when he heard footsteps. Ah, good. Another human being. Good, good. Can you please open the door for Mr. OCD? Yes? Yes. Very good, mister.
Max smiled and shook the man’s hand as he introduced himself and followed him inside. The architect took in the scene and judged the room. Yes. Judging. Wrong…wrong…wrong! Max however, kept a straight face as he scanned the room, biting his tongue in the process to prevent himself from twitching at the things he was seeing. “Hades…this is…an office?” Well, looking at the sorry looking file cabinet beside the seated man whom the other guy addressed as Anthony, yes, this was an office. “Good morning, Mr. Anthony Cresswell. I am Victor Maximilian Beaugard, your new magical architect.” Max held out his hand to his Department Head to shake, then to the person who greeted him earlier. “You can call me Max.” And it was a cooler name to go by, yeah? Max gave his warm smile to both men, hiding the tiny bit of awkwardness he felt. “Merlin, my colleagues are young.” He was…expecting Mr. Cresswell to be older. Ah but then, he must be very good to be in that position. Yes, this man has high expectations, young sir.
So! On to business. “I hope you don't mind me asking, Mr. Cresswell, but what…is this place?” Max was itching to ask that question the moment he apparated across the street. “Well, yes I figured that this…” a pause…and a quick judgingscan of the room. “is our office…for now, I hope. But what happened to the original HQ?” A concise history would be nice…or just plainly tell what it was.
