Charles, on the other hand, was oblivious to the fact that there were two aurors on rotation stationed outside his senior undersecretary's office. Though it seemed as though these were fine details that were about to come to light - and he was going to be rather cross with January for it all.
Particularly when she averted her eyes like that.
Now, Charles Hollingberry was many things but one of them was not born yesterday. He had four children of his own and five grandchildren to dote over and provide him with first hand experience regarding dishonest shenanigans. Though his personal favorite anecdote had to be when his eldest had been no more than three and throwing up all over the kitchen with his face covered in greasy butter. When questioned if he had eaten all the butter his wife had purchased to make a cake with buttercream frosting for their precious peach of a daughter's second birthday. Of course, Ryunosuke had denied the accusation...while throwing up a bit more. Thankfully for everyone involved presently, January was not throwing up her in her deceit. That would require cleanup and some parental soothing before he could become properly cross with her.
"January," he bellowed in the tone of just that, an angry parent. Perhaps enough so that her disillusioned shadow stationed outside her door would hear as well. "Show me." And he even had his hand extended, palm up, almost as though he were demanding those poor report cards from Takeshi who had insisted they were all top marks, flashed them briefly, and then tried to make a break for his room before getting caught. It never worked. "I am asking only out of protocol."
