When you were out in the field near constantly, a desk and an office did sorta feel like confinement.

But good, they were getting to the serious stuff. While Lex liked Shacklebolt, she didn't like small talk. It irked her beyond words. The woman had never had the patience for it and didn't think the new position would change that.

"Thank Merlin." Was her first reaction.

"Good. Someone has to deal with them and I was half worried no one would want to." The attitudes toward some of the recent YATI didn't go unnoticed. Hiring outside the division would've been a royal pain in her rear. "Tell me what you can bring to the position."

Yes, Evie did understand. She liked being out in the field, working, running around, getting stuff done. Coming into the office wasn't bad work, but she could only handle so much before she needed to get back outside. So yes, she got it.

Now, onto business.

Honestly, Evangeline was having a little trouble remembering that Alexa was now her boss and not just her friend, and she needed very much to speak with professionalism... but she needed Alexa to understand as well. "To be honest... I don't think anyone does want to." Which meant that she didn't really want to, if she was being honest.

"I was a YATI once. They're cocky, they think they know it all. I was guilty of that too and sometimes I still am. I'll be honest, I don't know how much patience I'll have with them. But... I'll whip them into shape. If nothing else, I'm stubborn and I don't deal with people's.... crap. They'll respect me, they'll respect you and the department, or I'll push them until they do." And she wasn't going to accept anything else. Was that okay with her?
