The return to that familiar set of habits came as naturally as taking his next breath. While his outer posture remained calm and relaxed, every nerve and sense was high strung on end, taking in and processing as much as was humanly possible.

A good deal of that attention remained on Simon however, eager to hear what news he had to give. To hear how his friend had been doing. Skimpy letters only went so far, and Sabel was relieved when his friend waved off the concern over their lacking content and inquiry.

His grin broadened at the first news that he was given. "That's great news, Simon!" He stepped into the car beside his friend. It was about time that his friend got some good coming to him. The young man deserved it. Deserved the best. "It must be getting pretty serious then?"

He arched a curious eyebrow at his friend. Marriage? Ring? That type of serious?

The eyebrow dropped into a furrowed frown at the news about the ministry. Folding his arms, Sabel leaned back against the wall of the car, unimpressed. "Really? Do they not remember it was the MLE that was largely responsible for saving the entire ministry's hide from the likes of the Cult?" He knew there were other instances too, other reasons, but he hadn't been around for them. "What would they prefer? Replacing us with Dementors?"



Admittedly Simon was usually on his own when he did rounds around the ministry. They had full trained security officers but not enough to stretch themselves that much. Not that he minded it because it allowed him to see things for himself and not distract him. Sabel's presence however didn't make much difference and not because his friend was bad company. On the contrary, his fellow auror was a good match and reminded him of the past as he let his ears listen to him while his gaze was ready to be focused on his surroundings.

Simon returned the grin sent his way with one his own, nodding in unspoken agreement. Yes, though of his girlfriend did bring a smile to his face. "I suppose so..." he mused, the question and the raised eyebrow making him wonder the implications. Regardless, he hadn't been able to broach the subject of them moving ahead another step to become more serious. The part about Angelina moving in with him or them both going to another place. The auror would feel safer with her near him especially if the case ever developed where his work became dangerous for her.

And then the topic turned to work and the troubles he had touched on. "Apparently not," he remarked with a sigh. "Not quite as drastic. But Roxanne for one felt she had better ways to train us all. When really I believe she's still upset with Emily beating her out for the department head position." It made perfect sense when she left the department not too long after, didn't seem satisfied as Environment head, moved on to MLE in France and seemingly always had a chip on her shoulder for the former auror and everything she represented.
