Nathan who was about as observant as one of those funny porcelain muggle garden gnomes, had been too engrossed in his work to be aware of the conversations going on around him let alone that Ian the photographer fellow showing a new girl around the office. He was slow to look up when she addressed him and his expression was vague at first as he looked at her.
“Oh.. em..” He said blinking his eyes as he tried to focus. Nate was so used to the noise at home nowadays that he could shut himself off from his surroundings completely in order to concentrate – a skill which impressed and infuriated his wife in equal measure..
“No, love. It's all yours.” He said warmly.
“That is, if you don't mind sitting with the Layout Team.” He glanced over at Ian and back at the young lady and then he stood, extending a hand complete with newsprint stained fingers towards her in welcoming.
“I'm Nathan by the way. It's nice to see a new face around here.” He gave her a warm smile and gestured for her to take a pew at Rico's old desk.
