"I believe you would help us out in one of our cases. But this is your case. We're here... To help you. Not the other way around." ben smirked and looked at Aveira who seemed to be watching. Ben quickly scanned the bottle Blackstone was holding. He couldn't tell what it was. Probably a medication of some sort.
The chocolate chunks.... this wasn't working. He could have all the interrogations he wanted, but how could he think straight if he knew that Benjamin got two more than him?
Blackstone absentmindedly squeezed a small amount of sanitizer from the bottle and paced it back in his pocket. He stared at the document, rubbing the his hands together, the faint scent of alcohol in the sanitizer barely distinguishable.
He let out a slow breath.
"Of course you are, Benjamin. We're all in the ministry together, after all. You're with the MLES and Wizengamot, correct? I'm merely getting this case passed on to the courts."

Blackstone paused, his voice cracking a little.
"If you and Ava would prefer another time, just let me know. Otherwise be there at 5:15 tomorrow morning. Actually, you had better make it 4:50. Just in case."
