 ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
Alright. So that was a no. Most definitely a no. An easier no to swallow than some of the ones he'd heard before. But still a no. Definite, big, bold coming with serious looks and tone.
Rhydian just managed to bite down on his tongue, to refrain from putting out there that of course it was silly and he was just making the new-old department head was up to snuff on common sense. Of course that hadn't been his reasoning for offering, but it would potentially give him a bit of his decency back.
Or then, maybe not. Not with the way he'd been managing to mince his words lately. Perhaps it was simply better to nod, seriously, with a tight-lipped expression of serious-seriousness. Never mind the bit of red that flecked his cheeks and ears in embarrassment.
He would just...look...busy with...yeah a nod. A nod of acknowledgement was all that was needed. Ahem.
The moment of their dismissal couldn't come sooner, and given he had nothing to add, it was finally here. But, apparently what he really wanted to do with that freedom would have to wait. He watched Lex move over to the big guns of the MLE, one who thought it was a good idea to hug the department head (brave soul and good on him) before turning to the one and only Greenwell.
Poor thing. "Well, guess we're buddies?" Not partners though. No, he didn't intend to replace his. "Ur...what do you need me to do?"
