Always asking questions. It didn't always pan out great either, but that was probably because as often as he asked he tended to demand answers. Oh the good old days of youth. Something like that.
It was good to know some of the old team was kicking around. This Bones person though he couldn't recall ever meeting. "Can't say that I have. Not a Hogwarts graduate, are they?" They because, well, was Bones a male or a female name?
At the mention of Chosen's name an eyebrow arched and a smile played on the corners of his lips. He hadn't been sure how the Legend would fit into the Auror business, and he couldn't say he was disappointed that he had made Emily's marking ranks. He nodded his approval, not that Emily needed it from him. "Chosen always was a good guy." Always interesting, that was for darn sure. "What about Simon? Is he still kicking around?"
He hadn't spoken to his classmate in years. That, was going to have to change soon.
The smile that settled onto Sabel's lips at the turn to reminiscing about the old days was devious. His eyes glinted with amusement, even though some part of him sympathized with the difficulties of being a Senior, let alone a Department Head. "Yes, but do you remember who we had to train us? We were full of lip too, but it's a little different putting it to words when your standing in front of veterans." No offense of course.
"Damien had me scrub out the washroom with a toothbrush once."
Yup. The good old days. He eyed Emily as if to ask her if she had yet employed such a method. "But lets be honest here, you kind of are the Dragon Lady." His grin was full. The YATI may not have been able to get away with it, but he knew full well what slack she would give him. "It's rather a complement. Means your marking your mark on the Department Head history."
Still, all jesting aside, there was concern for the news. Now he understood, if only to a small degree, why the Aurors had been so harsh on their rashness when they were YATI's. He tipped his head, smile still in place. "Sounds though, like maybe an extra hand wouldn't go amiss."
Yeah he was. "How could I forget? You were so annoying," she teased. Though really, she wasn't much better. And actually, in that sense, Zeke reminded her of Sabel. Always with the questions, albeit, a lot of his questions were straight forward but he always did manage to pull something out of left field.
She didn't he's met Bones, Vic, Vic Bones... but alas, he was a graduate. "A Ravenclaw, before our time though," she conceded. "He's perhaps one of my favourites, I think you'd like him." Neither of them were the type to get wound up, they were... chilled, conversational and just plain nice.
Interesting, that most certainly was true. Both Chosen and Carter were interesting, but she wouldn't have them any other way. Character was important where leadership was concerned, she needed to know she could trust people in her circle, and they didn't pretend to be something they weren't. But yes! Of course, Simon. "Bennett's been well... he's a good asset, helped me out a few times in security too, patrols and internal investigations," he was a good egg.
Emily's lips turned up to form a smirk, her hazel eyes glinting at the memories she recalled - the same memories she was sure Sabel was thinking of. Of course, he had a point, Veterans... one particularly grumpy one she wouldn't soon forget. "That doesn't surprise me, though he did favour you." There was no doubt that she'd learnt a great deal from the man, and for that she was appreciative, but she didn't for a second miss him. Van though, Van she did miss.
That look she received though, made her laugh lightly as she nod. "When we were locked out of the Ministry after the whole chizpurfle debacle, I stationed MLE in an abandoned section of the underground, perfectly secured but you know, not exactly pristine working conditions. Nevertheless, Josh Carter comes into work one morning, and pees on the floor... so I had him scrub the whole thing and my office with a toothbrush." It had amused her to no end, though she hadn't expected the hug he gave her afterward, and she wasn't about to forget that anytime either. People needed to learn she didn't just do hugs, she was incredibly selective.
Dragon Lady Browne... it had a nice ring to it. "Oh I know, but to say it to my face took nerves." Which she admired and loathed at the same time.
Emily sat, stewing in her memories, focusing mostly on her find ones than the others. The smile Sabel wore so well though, piqued her curiosity, and his next remark only fuelled it. "I wouldn't object to extra hands," she noted, eyebrows arched curiously. Was he ready to return now?
