The department head shook his head, slowly. He'd never been into all that pop-culture type music. Just his usual tribal songs back home. He stuck with that.

Ah, from the States.

Tetrus had never actually taken the liberty to make his way over to that country. He'd heard it was rather interesting... not exactly the breeding grounds of too many otherworldly and dangerous creatures. "Ah I see. I won't hold it against you sista'." He slipped her a sly wink and his lip curled into an odd grin.

He didn't have any knowledge either. So it was fine, just fine that she didn't.

Sighing slightly, Tetrus leaned back in his seat and folded his arms methodically. "Reagan is the relentless type, isn't she?" He said, almost sourly. He'd been the campaign manager for Cooper's campaign. And although he liked Reagan... sort of, he'd rather have had Cooper in Office.

"Anyways, yes we have been busy as of late. Let's start with the Beast Division, shall we?" His brown eyes bored into hers, then traveled to the burning incense, then to a file on his desk. Tetrus picked the papers up, and read from them.

"After a failed mission to capture an intruder on the centaurs lands in the Forbidden forest under the control of former Department Head, Teal Andrus, I was asked to fill his vacant position." His lip curled into a wry smile. "So naturally, I gathered the Department together and started things in the correct direction." Why he put emphasis on the one word? Few would ever know.

"I have reason to believe that there is not only a human intruding upon the centaurs lands, but a vicious creature as well." His deep set eyes seemed to cast a veil of a shadow over his eyes as he looked down to the paper.

"I have planned out how to appease the centaurs, while we seek out the perpetrator. It is through a keen gifting consensus, a bribing of sorts." His seemingly sinister smile remained in tact.

"We leave in the next few days, sista. So as I said, we are very busy." His smile fading, he dropped the files down on his desk. "Any questions before I move into the being division. Hmm?"

Sarah couldn't help but smile at how he called her 'sista' and those sly grins always seemed to break the ice. This man's outward appearance seemed to indicate that he was a friendly guy. Which was good, because she didn't want to have to work with a scary colleague. Makes dropping by the Department no fun.

At Tetrus' next comment, Sarah smiled a 'what can you do?' smile and just nodded her head. "Yes... she is. She wants to be on top of things... so I guess it's understandable. It's been a bit crazy lately after she was appointed Minister," she replied, too immersed in her own thoughts to notice the slightest bit of sourness in the man's voice.

Sarah smiled and pulled out a notepad and a quill from her bag. "Beast Division it is," she said as she scribbled down the name of the division and looked up into Tetrus' dark eyes, waiting for what he'd say next.

Hmm. A failed mission, huh? Although Brian didn't fill her in too much on the whole Election and the Campaign Parties, but she believed that the former Department Head had been the Campaign Manager for Cooper. But her knowledge of the man stopped there.

Sarah then turned her attention back to the man that sat before her, going though the papers in the file had had picked up a few moments before. The young woman couldn't help but smirk herself as she saw the man grin that wry grin of his after saying that he had to resume the position for Teal Andrus.

Eh? So it hadn't been going in the right direction then? Sarah couldn't help but pick up the emphasized word, 'direction'. Was this department really in that bad of shape under the leadership of Teal Andrus? Sarah had the urge to ask Tetrus, himself, but she still didn't know him well enough. They weren't that close, quite yet. All in good time, though.

Reason? That a vicious creature was accompanying the human during the intrusion of the land? What reason?

"Yes... so as it seems. I wish you the best of luck then," Sarah said, nodding her head. It all seemed rather grueling. The whole ordeal and the expression that had been held on the older man's face. "Why yes. I do have a question. After this, we can continue on to the Being Division. What reason... if you don't mind telling me... has contributed in your belief that there is also a vicious creature intruding the land as well?" she asked, curiously. Sarah wasn't quite sure if this was an essential matter that should be added in the report, but she, herself... was intrigued to understand.

Tetrus' grin turned sinister at the liaisons question. "Because sista, the culprit hasn't been caught. You must understand that centaurs are most lethal in a forest environment. A mere human would have no chance withstanding against them for this long. Thus, something with keener senses must be afoot."

Swiveling around in his chair, he picked up a separate file and placed it on his desk. Opening it, his dark eyes looked back up to the woman.

Looking to his watch, Tetrus sighed... he was ready to go home yet the day had only just started. "Anything else concerning the beast division?" His chin tilted towards the ceiling methodically.

Normally nothing could catch Sarah off guard and disturb her, but something about the smile on the man's face gave her the creeps. She had to use all her might to prevent herself from shuddering in front of Tetrus. Never shall she let on that the smile that the man wore on his face was the least bit disturbing in any way. So the woman concentrated instead on what he was saying.

Ahh... Sarah hadn't known that. She hadn't quite thought of centaurs as a dangerous species but it was apparently so, in Tetrus' opinion. And Sarah trusted his judgment. As... scary as his smiles were. They would in no way affect her confidence in him. Nodding her head at Tetrus with his explanation, Sarah quickly jotted down his reasoning on her notepad.

Looking back up at the Department Head, Sarah watched as he once more swiveled around in his chair and grabbed another file. The man's eyes, ever staring back at her. Sometimes Sarah felt that she was an open book to this man and that he could read everything about her.

Shaking her head with a smile on her face, Sarah replied, "I have no questions left. Continue please." And with that, she set her quill down on her notepad and folded her hands, waiting for the man to continue on to the next division.

A snowy white owl appears and before flying off, delivers the following message -

Evan read the sign and the other text of the door with some amusement. Always watching. Interesting fellow this Tetrus Santana could turn out to be. He rapped purposefully on the door, and stood back to wait. He figured it was best to report to the Department head before the Division head. It being his first day and all.


Centaurs he wasn't so sure about, dragons he could handle. But then again, Evan Pryce laughed in the face of danger... so the beasts shouldn't be a problem... right? He fussed with his tie, resisiting the urge to knock again. It was rude, and quite impatient of him. He could wait. That didn't stop him from checking his watch. No more then twenty seconds had passed. He really needed to work on the patience thing. It wasn't good to be so reckless... you could definitely get in trouble that way. He smiled to himself, slightly bitter and rubbed a small scar on his wrist. He had been to hasty training a young dragon. Thought it was safe when it wasn't.

Fortunately, he had learned.
