Anyway.

January decided then that she liked Charles. She had, of course, liked him before, but her willingness to trust whoever was in the seat of the Minister had sort of been diminished with Nickels in charge previously. But she had taken the time and cautionary steps in learning about Charles and decided that he was worth trusting. He was smart, friendly, and he seemed to trust her. January visibly relaxed when he got up and took a seat somewhere else. She leaned back in her chair.

She nodded confidently. MLE was informed, one way or another, and this would be recorded and put in her file and presumably the archives to make note of it... so the matter was settled. "If anything changes, you will be the first to know." Which meant all was well and he didn't have to worry unless she came to him with an update.

He was uncomfortable with this arrangement, but he was trying his best not to let it show. They had not been partners here at the Ministry for long, but Charles and quickly taken to January and much of his affection came not only from respect for the word she did but from a paternal place. It was these sentiments that drove his next actions, one that were not particularly the more professional given the setting but seemed entirely necessary in the moment.

Reaching out, Charles gingerly placed one of his hands on the back of her head and leaned it forward against his chest so he could kiss the top of her head - something he had done so many times to his own daughter, even recently. "Good," he said as he pulled away, elephantine smile plastered across his face. "I'll let you get back to your work then," he added with a jolly wink.
