The familiarity that surrounded him for her added to that as well.

But she did have something important to ask him and hoped that he would be receptive to the idea as well. "I did, yes," she nodded and gestured to the chairs in front of her. "Please take a seat." Well, he did seem rather eager to know wanted she wanted to say. Might as well get right into it then. "So, I know you've been with this department quite a long time and I do hope you realize just how invaluable you are here." Looking at his files, she knew exactly how long he had been employed with Games and Sports, and it troubled her to think that possibly he had not been as appreciated for his work as she felt she should be. "Your work is consistently exemplary and I couldn't ask for a more dedicated employee," she said matter of factly as she leaned back in her chair and kept her eyes focused on him. "I'd like to offer you a promotion."

You know what, as boss' went, Adam thought he'd lucked out with Mariel. Not only had they attended Hogwarts together, even if not in the same circles, but she was fair and honest, and everything you could want for in a leader.

Following her gesture to the chairs, he pulled one out slightly, enough to slip into it's comfi-ness, lean back slightly and cross one leg over the other. Invaluable? Adam grinned at that. "I can't thank you enough for those words." Because really, he couldn't. In all honesty, he knew that everyday he came into work and gave it his all, and put so much effort into it. He wasn't always thanked, or even acknowledged, but for some reason he'd always still done it.

Until this year, apparently, where he'd even considered not coming back, and debated whether or not this was what he wanted to do.

And that was when Mariel had sprung this upon him, and he was completely taken aback. "I... Wow... I -" Taken aback was one way. Shocked was another. When he'd found out she wanted to talk about something important, he'd assumed it was to do with Patents, or the upcoming even and.

Wow.

"Thank you, so much. Wow. What's the position?" Because, you know, if he had to play Quidditch, he probably wasn't going to be much good at that. If it wasn't, however.... Well, then he'd be seriously interested. And he couldn't imagine it being anything like that, so interested was definitely the word. "Thank you." He managed again, still in awe at the proposal.
