The more Jake stood here, the more Jake realised that... he didn't want to be stood here. He was internally huffing and puffing to himself about THINGS and STUFF, though on the outside looked just as 'blah' as he always did. He looked around the group, aware that somewhere here was someone new to his own department, a Victor something-or-other. Jake couldn't remember; words were hard.
Anyway, where was the dude? The guy? The dudeguy?
Jake was already moving away and halfway back to his desk when Legend started calling for the Aurors to gather around. He wasn't one of those (which now seemed like a blessing in disguise; Jake wasn't sure he'd ever be able to take Legend seriously or be all that civil if the guy was his boss) so, y'know, he'd just leave 'em to it.
And THAT was when he spotted him, the new guy. It was easy enough to work out because, well... new face at the MLES desks and all. AND, now that the Auror type people were all preoccupied... apart from that Branxton girl... Jake was far more willing to strike up a conversation.
"Hi," he said to the bloke in his still-strong London accent, offering a small, but nonetheless welcoming, smile and holding out his hand. For a handshake. Because that was the thing to do. "Name's Jake. Hit Wizard. You're new here."
It wasn't a question, just a very straightforward observation. His way of greeting people, and being welcoming. Genevieve got... a nod AND a little smile as well. Hi.
