There was a weight to Tomasz's request, one that he respected. He could sense the conflict within the younger man, the gratitude for his current role mingled with a desire for growth and change.
"I appreciate your honesty, Tomasz," Frankie began, his tone sympathetic yet measured. Leaning back slightly in his seat, Frankie waved one of his hands, his gaze steady on Tomasz as a cabinet by his desk opened and a file labeled 'Łaska, Tomasz' floated over. "It takes courage to express these feelings. And wanting to grow and evolve in your career is natural."
The blond then went silent to take a moment to glance through the contents of the file and considered his next words carefully. He understood the significance of Tomasz's request and the implications it held. "Your NEWT scores don't quite meet the requirements to become an Auror. It is a rigorous path, as I'm sure you are aware," he said aloud. Another pause occurred as he flipped through another page before closing the file and allowing it to return to its original place.
"But your experience in security would certainly be an asset in an Auror role, and your determination and willingness to learn are qualities that will go a long way," the department head continued. "The transition will require hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to step out of your comfort zone. If this is truly what you want, then I'm here to support you every step of the way." He held his breath. Concentrating every ounce of his being on his department head and the words he said. For the courage, he had Demetria to thank. She was the one who helped to encourage him. After years of wanting something so badly, only she was able to convince himself to take the step he needed to move forward.
Doing well to remember what they had spoken about at home, Tomasz kept his nerves at bay even when Mr. Paton summoned his chart. The one he knew did not contain enough contents in favor of his request. So when Mr. Paton started again, Tomasz tried not to let his disappointment show. He would find something else. He would start fresh. He would be fine. He did not need to do this to feel fulfilled. There was another path for him, he--
He was not being rejected outright?
Blinks, as if in disbelief, so much so that he leans forward as he replies. "It is what I want," he nodded to confirm. It was what he had wanted for a very long time. "I will work hard, whatever is needed, I will do everything it takes, sir."
