Everybody, especially MLE Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna "Pretty much." He was one of the few really trusted to patrol down in the Department of Mysteries. Level One and Games had been off limits for some time but he believed at last check they could both be free to him once more.
Ugg...maybe he shouldn't have made that comment. Simon debated the right way to handle and explain the matter. "There had just been an illness associated with some things a few years back. But all safe now." They wouldn't be as lax about things getting in as they had apparently been before if he could help it. "Assist with wand weighing and scans if needed, run internal investigations." That sort of thing.
---------------------------
Simon kept a neutral look the first time Sabel had looked to him. He could fill his friend in on his opinion of the new YATI later for now he was keeping his part in that play going along well enough. Smirk or no smirk of amusement, he was lucky when the other man decided to speak and explain how they knew each other that Simon hadn't been drinking lest he spit the contents out all over the place. As it was, Alexa nearly choke beside him in reaction to the news.
Sabel...a convict.
That introduction was bad enough. But himself...the arresting and parole officer of Sabel for the night. That cut the cake deeper. It seemed it was tease the underlings time for the orientation and Simon was in on the whole gag. "Yep," he agreed as Sabel clamped his shoulder. "Out for decent behavior and I figured if he behaved here, it might encourage him to stay good and have more evenings like tonight." And no...the eyebrow raised was another thing for another time as the security man wasn't even sure what it was for at this point. "The only ones who think us rude are the one's who listen to the yarn the Prophet weaves." You know, the messes the likes of Jorge and his little underling like to play. But that was enough mention of them for one night, Simon wanted to keep a good mood going else he was going to go off sulking with his girlfriend.
Was he glad for the momentary change of subject as Sophie moved closer to the group. "Hey," he returned, momentarily taken by surprise by the hug before returning it just before she pulled back away. "Not officially...no. But constant vigilence nevertheless." So the phrase predominately applied to aurors and hit wizards...he was keeping it in security.

Oh Ember remembered him. "Hello," he returned with a polite nod. "Quite well." He was being quite amused by what was going on though he was doing his best to simply play along with the butt of everything. Alas her attention changed to another and Simon was free to notice Branxton and Legend hovering around by the food. The former being someone Alexa noticed and dragged into the thick of things. Including the ex-convict Sabel. Please don't mess with our illusion, he silently wished.
