It was starting to feel like he was wandering around a field with trip-wires and invisible barriers yet to be defined.

Uncomfortable.

Made only moreso by her next point. It had been in the fine print. Pity. More scrunching of his face.

"First off, I don't mess up papers." Should be a plus, yes? "And second off I listen, for the most part." See? He was sitting in the chair. As she had asked. Brownie points? He wasn't adverse to them. "But I can deal with not dying." To that effect the third point he would leave mute with a lift of his hat, ruffle of his hair and hat replacement.

Really, they were all mute points. Fine print won out, all the time. It was a fact of life.

Then she was onto her life story. He blinked at her a few times, a small smile working its way in place of the scrunchy look. "Got a short version of that?" Her name that was. As for her mother, didn't know, didn't bother him one way or another. As for the rest. "What's your official title? Would you recommend marriage? Hats are seldom appreciated until you find a good one. Why do you own a cat if it hates you?" Still a point of utter confusion for him. "And where's the best place to grab grub for a hollow leg around here?"
Oh, Merlin, please don't let him be a sulker. After crazy-pants Alexa and bad-attitude Tyler, it would be nice to have a YATI around who just did his job and didn't need to have his hand held. And who appreciated that they all had work to do, and that putting up a fight or making a fuss wasted her time.

"You're on a role, Blackhold. No paper mussing, listening skills. I might keep you around." And if he didn't die either... that was all the better. Genevieve slipped a few empty warrants from her file and stacked them in the center of her desk. "My family calls me Vi or Vivi. I suppose you can call me either of those if you prefer. Or James." Which was still taking some getting used to.

"My official title is Auror. I recommend marriage to the right person, otherwise stay as far from it as you can. And I own a cat who hates me because I love her. You ask a lot of questions." That was about all the paperwork she was willing to do today. "There's a cafe across the street, and the food is much better than in the cafeteria. I'll treat."
