The gentleman who had just introduced himself had offered a hand, and he'd be damned if he was going to commit the cardinal sin of accepting it sitting down.

"Victor Sebastian LaCroix." He introduced himself plainly. "Just started work here as a patrol officer." He added, shaking the gentleman's hand. "I understand we'll be working in close proximity to one another, and I certainly hope we can get along." Though his eyes reflected experience and maturity, he spoke with an almost naive sincerity in his voice. He'd realized a long time ago that letting previous experience cloud ones initial judgement of a new workplace and new colleagues was probably the biggest mistake you could make.

Merlin, drama with the Auror team, much? Jake glanced over at them for a brief second, completely and utterly amused by the entire situation and sooooooooo wishing he was part of their super special Auror club purely for the reason that he'd have loved to give his own input. But no. Mature adult here, keeping his opinion to himself.

But yeah, new guy. Jake focused on him again.

"Victor, right," the Hit Wizard nodded, shaking his hand firmly as he mentally noted that name. He seemed like the sort of guy who'd appreciate a firm handshake. "I hope so too. Don't see why we shouldn't."

Jake could sort of tell that he was probably being a little too brusque, and tried to seem a little... less Jake-y.

"Where'd you work before coming here?" he asked the other guy, who looked like he had a few more years on the clock than Jake did. Jake himself leaned casually against a nearby desk that was currently unoccupied. He should probably be getting to work soon, and finding jobs to do, but he was making the new guy feel at home, see? That was important too.
