On the outside though, she was focusing on not showing any of that though, just trying to be relaxed and calm. Didn't wanna freak her co-workers out with her nervous excitement or anything, y'know?

Entering the appropriate desk area, she was pleased to see that she wasn't TOO early so she was the very first one here but also clearly not late since there weren't a whole lot of people here yet. Not that she thought she'd be late anyway. She'd made sure she wouldn't be.

"Morning, everyone," she greeted with a simple smile. So...should she join that group too or look for her desk? Or was her desk over in their area so she could do both?

Then again, Victor hardly knew anything about any of his co-workers.

Stepping closer and adjusting his tie again, he offered the gentleman a hand to shake. "Yes indeed, that would be me. Victor LaCroix." He spoke with a smile and a polite introduction as he always did, his Cornish accent barely showing any hint that he'd ever left Britain. He glanced over his shoulder at the man who had entered the room moments after he had and gave him a polite nod of acknowledgement. "And you are?" He turned back to the man in front of him. He sure hoped he wasn't shaking hands with someone who's face he should definitely have recognized. How embarrassing that would have been?!

He sat down comfortably on his seat and placed his cup on the desk after pushing some papers off his working place to make room for the coffee cup on the always messy desk. At least, it didn't look or smell like it had leftover food gone bad on it like the last time.

He leaned back and picked his cup to sip some coffee as he watched Simon talking to the new MLEr. A new MLES officer. Cool. Just when he opened his mouth to comment on it, a woman walking in and greeting them all took all his attention. He pushed himself off the seat and walked to the lady with a warm smile on his face. "Good morning." he said "Actually i'm not sure yet if it is a good morning yet that's a habit to say, right? I can't say i started a really good morning. I had to clean horse poo at firstlight...then an accident was going to happen and...."

What?

After the small pause, the auror laughed "...i don't think you'd like to know the rest."

She entered the office and hung up her coat and scarf on her chair even while she took in the new faces. YATIs mostly, or so she'd seen on Em's announcement, and at least one face she recognized. Merlin, was it really possible that someone the same age as her brother was old enough to be here?

"Penelope. You've grown up. Good morning," she made faces at Simon and Josh before sliding behind her desk. "I'm Genevieve Branxton. New recruits get coffee for the rest of us. House rules."

Another new, young face.

This one female.

"Good morning," he returned, giving a polite nod acknowledgement. "I'm Simon Bennett and if I'm not mistaken you would be one of our new trainees. Welcome and join us." Josh could add anything else as the other full auror in the room.

Ah so he had indeed been correct, not that it had been hard with the limited list of new department members. Though Simon supposed he could have been from another area who had wandered in lost or needing help from them. "Simon Bennett," he said returning introductions and answering the other man's question as he accepted the offered hand to shake.

Simon listened as Josh sat down and explained the truth about his morning. The details cutting off and the auror deciding not to press for details. Hopefully the family was alright but surely his best friend would tell him if it wasn't. At least in private, "So we'll stick with hello and morning I suppose."

And finally another familiar face and technically a fully trained auror now in her own right. "Morning," he said, returning her greeting as she acknowledged the new girl that she obviously knew. Well they weren't that separated in age. "Just Earl Grey tea for me," he commented, going along with Genevieve's instructions to the newbies. Wouldn't have them waste coffee on him when he didn't drink it.
