The look of confused concern on Felix's face vanished and was replaced by a small smile as Emma very warmly welcomed him to the Department Of Mysteries, before going on to comment on the lack of people in her own sub division. Hmm, strange, Felix had always assumed that the DOM was one of the more populated areas of the Ministry, he had clearly been wrong. "Thank you," Felix said, before taking a rather large bite of his pepperoni pizza. "Why is that? Are they downsizing the department or have there just been less applicants lately?" Felix asked, managing to sound perfectly normal even with his mouth full of dough and cheese. "I can? That's allowed?" Felix said, his dark eyebrows raised in surprise. He hadn't thought he would be allowed to wander into the other rooms. He was definitely going to take advantage of this.
Felix had never been the romantic type, he believed himself too logical to get swept away by emotions like love and lust, but that didn't mean he wasn't curious about their natures, and he was actually rather eager to learn them mysteries behind the Ever-Locked Room. "A love specialist? If you don't mind my asking, what exactly does that entail?" Felix said, flushing slightly as Emma winked at him. Was she flirting with him? She wasn't showing any of the tell-take signs of physical attraction so maybe it was intended as a friendly gesture. He would file this little moment away for further inspection.
"[b]Oh no, no, no! You haven't said anything wrong. I'm just not exactly used to people calling me 'Miss'," she explained with a cheery smile. Nope, nothing was wrong. She was just.. genuinely surprised. Being called "Miss" wasn't bad, it was just sort of unusual to hear some but her parents' house elves address her in such a form. She started eating her salad.
She paused at Felix's question. Was the Department of Mysteries down-sizing? "
I honestly don't know. I don't believe so but I cannot speak with authority on such a topic as I really don't know," she said honestly. His comments, however, had made her start to wonder if they were getting more and more applicants. "
You're second suggestion seems like a likely answer to the question." But she couldn't say much else about it because she didn't really know. One could only postulate. She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as she took a sip of her delicious cappuccino. "
I don't think it wouldn't be allowed. I mean- it would probably be best if we hung out in the Employee Area or something." It'd be nice to make some work friends around the department.
"
A Love Specialist studies the emotional that is love. We investigate its various forms. Then we also research and collect data related to these forms. It's very intriguing because there are so many different types of love. Love for a specific person, love for an idea, the list just goes on and on," she explained becoming more and more enthusiastic about the whole emotion. Oh yes. She loved her job. Anyway, enough about her. "
What are you doing in the Space Room?" she asked curiously. She had always wondered what the employees did in there. Even though Felix was new, perhaps he'd know some things about it.
