Hogwarts RPG Name: Brooks Robertser Gryffindor Fourth Year | Ern's Walmart Greeter Emery glanced around the rather full room, still unsure of everything. But he was glad to have Ramona and Alysson as his partners. Especially since he already knew Alysson and all. He threw a smile and a wink at the two girls, excited to begin working with them. So, they had the conference room and the works areas to begin securing. Sounds like fun. He was about to turn to leave when something else popped up into his head.
So.. Evander had offered licenses for a second wand.. And Emery had been thinking it over, and it hadn't sounded like a bad idea at all. Especially considering the fact that he was the enforcer of the group. So, he stood up from his former leaning position and began to walk towards the bloke. "Evander?" He called to get the mans attention. "I was thinking.. and well, i'd like to take up your offer on the second wand license. It.. seems like a nice idea." he shrugged. In a tight situation, it would be amazingly handy to carry a spare.

Evander waited for Harley to head out and then turned to Emery. Quote:

"No problem. You'll have it by the end of the day." He waited for the man to leave and then hustled everyone else out of his office before locking it and securing it with a ridiculous number of charms and wards.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sebastian Price First Year | The Harpy of Hogwarts | Dungeon Mistress | Bimba di Serpeverde A black owl appeared as if out of nowhere, charmed with an untraceable charm; it tiptoed on the window sill, in it's beak a note. It slipped the note through the bottom of the shut window, and flew away... disapearing into the darkness. Note: You would do well to have your broom fixed. ~A.T.

Evander re-entered his office, expression thoughtful. He stopped on the threshold, frowning slightly as he caught sight of the note. Where had that...? Ah.
Well he had made a few allowances for communications from certain.... individuals. Van strode across the room and scooped up the note, frowning as he read it.
What could the man possibly want? He tossed the note in the floo and set it to burning, waiting to be sure it was only ashes before leaving his office once more, locking it and shutting it up tight.

| Crap. Double crap. Damien shuffled up to Van's door and gave it a slight rap of his knuckles. Bossman stuff was NOT Damien's forte. He didn't deal well with authority... perhaps that was why he drifted through so easily in Law Enforcement for so many years. He WAS the authority for the most part. Heh.
Shoving his hands back in his pockets he leaned against the wall beside the door and began to whistle idly. Doop doop doooo. |

Van opened the door and gave Damien a look. The withering kind, the kind that made green recruits pass out with. Not that Damien was anything CLOSE to being one of those,which of course was the very reason he expected more from the man.
"Come in." Please and thank you.
He took a seat at the table rather than at his desk and gestured for Damien to join him.
"Did you catch yourself up on what you missed on your... coffee run?" Badly timed coffee run.

"Did you catch yourself up on what you missed on your... coffee run?" Badly timed coffee run. Damien simply quirked a brow at Van's LOOK. Great. Bossman was unhappy. Not that this wasn't something that he wasn't used to.
Entering the office he closed the door behind him and plopped into a seat at the table opposite Van. Nodding his head he said, "Yeah, I did in fact." What else was there to say to that?
"Look... I can't deal with these idiots as well as you can, Evander. I need to get away before I snap sometimes... Hence the coffee break," he said in a lazy voice. Let's get it over with, dude. |

Van abruptly banged his fist against the table, punctuating his next words. "That isn't good enough. Damien you can't use those excuses anymore. Its a childish reaction and I need more from you. Your experience, your skills, you know I count on 'em. You've got to find a way to deal with your frustrations in a way that does not interrupt your work or mine, especially now, with everything that is going on. I need you to have my back, to be here with me." Physically AND mentally.
There was only so much 'free-spiritedness' that an Auror could claim and still be effective.

There was only so much 'free-spiritedness' that an Auror could claim and still be effective. At the fist banging Damien quirked an eyebrow and sat back in his seat. "Would you have me tell them exactly how ignorant I think they all are? They are too busy building these grand schemes that the damn answers are blaring in their faces and they can't see it. It makes me crazy. And I do have your back. Always. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous," Damien said and then clenched his jaw tight, muscles jumping slightly.
"Look... You CAN count on me. I have had some things going on... making my patience quite thin. Can I ask you this... if they start making idiotic remarks and disrespecting me am I free to tell them just what I think?" he said in a calmer, more even tone as he unclenched his jaw. |

"Maybe so, but your experience could be used to help others see what they haven't yet. Especially if they're your co-workers and people that you should share that sort of thing with." Van had relaxed somewhat and sat back in his seat.
Damien's mention of patience was funny. Van had his own stretched thin, he was on edge and stressed and the constant threat overhanging him,of Lily and Brysen's safety, as well as the well-being of his people, well it was enough to make anyone crazy, but his years spent working undercover had set him in good stead and given him the tools to cope.
Barely, but still, patience. It wasn't an excuse in Van's eyes.
"Yes." He answered. "You are." And then, a grin,"But I'll take you to task for it if I think you're being unreasonable." Or childish, or petty. Or any number of other things.
"You still hold yourself apart from them." Van noted. It wasn't a judging comment, just an observation.

Seriously, Van... they have no respect for the fact that I have now... 21 years of experience in the field. I know what the hell I am doing," he said shortly. Stupid KIDS.
He would have smiled and nodded at Van's permission to tell them when they are being idiots when he spoke again. Damien gave off a shrug...
"Look... where I came from we all worked as a team. Not a little cliche of people here and there. And they are all, for the most part, children, Van. I... Just don't know. I feel like no matter what I say to them it doesn't make a difference. They have their ideals... they don't listen to the crazy old man," he said with a sad little laugh. |

I feel like no matter what I say to them it doesn't make a difference. They have their ideals... they don't listen to the crazy old man," he said with a sad little laugh. Now was not the time to point out that they weren't all kids. Damien knew well enough that Van was generally in the same mind, the difference was that Evander was better at seeing what the less experienced members of the department could bring to the table. And identifying what they lacked and hopefully, helping to fill those gaps. Of course his ideals of further training and the like had to be put off for now,while things were....uncertain, but still.
"Show them." He answered shortly. "Maybe you don't feel a need to earn anyone's respect, and you've got the right not to try, but tell me, would you respect someone that just complained about others, wanders off whenever it suited them -and believe me thats how it appears- and doesn't make their own efforts to engage with the team? You talk about coming from a team, but I haven't seen you try to build one, or truly be part of one here."
Van was trying, with the limited resources he had, to do that. Slowly,surely...
"Everything going down these days, it all gets in the way of things, but I still have to think to the future, keep toiling at the day to day, operational elements of the department. We're absorbing security, you know that, and too that its something I've taken a stance on in the past." He shook his head slightly, thinking of the breach a few years back where some... self-styled dark artist had infiltrated level three for reasons unclear. What had been clear was the absolute and utter failure of the Security department, as it had been, to prevent that breach. Evander had aided Eric, the then MLE dept head in dealing with the idiot.
"I need your help with something in particular." Or not exactly, he didn't need Damien. Van corrected himself, "Or at least, your experience would be appreciated. But only if you can get it together, D."
He let the silence grow for a moment.
"I'm talking about training."

| Damien clenched his jaw tight again. The only person he COMPLAINED to others about was VAN. Was he saying that he didn't respect him? Because that is how it was feeling right now. "I have tried to engage with the "team" and it just doesn't... I don't know. Maybe I haven't been the same since I came back, Van. No one takes THAT into account either," he said and shook his head slightly.
Damien listened to the rest of Van's spiel and then quirked an eyebrow. "If they had training it would be a totally different story. That is my issue. They all run off on wild goose chases and I don't know WHO trained them, but it is going to get them all killed one of these days. You know as well as I do that there are some on the team that need a lot of training in being a bit less obvious in what they are doing," he said in a gruff tone.
"Need? Or want my help? If you want my help, you know I am there. No matter what. All you have to do is ask, Van," he said finally making eye contact again.
OH. There was something he had been meaning to ask... perhaps now was not the proper moment... He would wait until he was leaving at least. Heh. |

OH. There was something he had been meaning to ask... perhaps now was not the proper moment... He would wait until he was leaving at least. Heh.
Van nodded. He had noticed.
He leaned forward when Damien picked up on the training thing.
"Its my issue too. Its.. a problem for everyone but I can't see anyone who is truly at fault. I don't want to play the blame game any more, I want to be sure that our team are each the best they can be, and that any new recruits to any division within the Department are not only trained sufficiently at a basic level, but have the opportunity to specialise and increase their skills."
He grinned easily again.
"I want your help. I could do it myself but I don't think that would be fair, you've got plenty to offer that I can't give." And vice versa.
"I'm not asking you as a friend, you need to know that. If you say no to this, it won't effect our friendship. This is something I want to offer you, for your career and for peace of mind. I'll find a way to make it happen, regardless of your involvement,be sure of that. But your experience, your skills, are exactly what is needed."

They needed some specialization in skills alright... the whole lot of them. He had yet to see them all in action, really, but what he had seen made him wonder what had been going on in the Dept. before Van took it over. It was worrisome, really.
"I figured that anything that you ask of me while we are on the job IS job related. I get what you are saying, loud and clear," he said as he stroked his mustache thoughtfully. Van was saying he could find another way to do it, with or without him... that didn't motivate him very much. The truth of the matter was, he knew that he did have more experience than anyone else in that department.
"Alright. All I need to do is have a look at their personnel files. The ones coming in from Security as well. See where there specialties lie. From that point I can figure who needs what training and how to move forward," he said more to himself than to Van at this point. "Yeah. I can do it. No doubt. I'm in. And by the way... thanks. For bearing with me while I have been readjusting and such," he said in the same gruff tone as before.
...
"Hey there is something I have been meaning to ask you. Well a few things really. Non work related... First, why didn't you warn me about Hunter? And secondly... when are you and Lil getting married, old man?" Damien said as he settled back into a typical demeanor. Hehhhehe. |

"Everyone's personal files are on the table as it is, with these security checks, so that won't be a problem." Evander answered with a nod and a stretch. It was a load off knowing that Damien would be on board. 100%. He had no doubts about that. Or rather, he wasn't letting himself doubt.
You had to be able to count on someone.
"Yeah well. Readjustment period over." Van was equally gruff. They were NOT going to have a moment over it all.
....
Evander stared.
"What happened to whatever is asked on the job being job related?" Avoidance.
Of both questions.
He folded his arms over his chest and stared Damien down.

He folded his arms over his chest and stared Damien down. Damien nodded his head as his cogs started spinning. Oh the things he could do with this... There was so much training needed to be done. He WOULD fix this department. He would indeed.
Clearing his throat Damien nodded his head, "Yeah. Over. Definitely." No moment.
Damien pressed his lips together in a tight line to keep from GUFFAWING. Oh Evander... Dear dear dear.
"Job related... I figure it is all as a boss to an employee. Someone seems to be avoiding something though... and don't try to stare me down, Chief. I am not a newb. Oh my Evander... how intimidating you are," he said with humor evident in his voice and a slight roll to his eyes as he kicked his feet up on the table casually. |

Sigh.
Van gave his friend a tortured look and stood up.
"What exactly did you expect me to say about Hunter? Last time I saw her she was in Moribunds, playing nice with Atropos Trelawney. I think he had her followed after that." It was a wonder she was still alive really. Evander leaned against his desk.
"Hunter and I went to school together. I hadn't seen her for.... well, going on fifteen years I guess."
As for the MARRIAGE thing.
...
no comment.
"Come, we have a little while before the meeting, lets go for a walk." And get some coffee.
Strong coffee.

Strong coffee. "She led me to believe there was a bit more to you and she... than that, but whatever. She might be a little crazy... and not in a fun way. You saw that crap in the Leaky," Damien said with a huff. Whatever.
"Met a shopkeeper... perfect really. Loves the water... free spirit. |Like her a lot. You and Lil will have to have a double date with us soon," he said with a chuckle as he got up and followed after Van.
"Nice avoidance, by the way," he mumbled. |

"Nice avoidance, by the way," he mumbled.
"Well.... well there was..." Sort of. Van traced a finger along one of his eyebrows. "When we were just kids. But I don't... she... " Ahem. "Hunter Grace bones was quite the corrupter of the innocent."
Like, you know, the once innocent Evander Bole?
Ahem.
Yeah.
"No she's a good person, Hunter. She just... always puts herself in trouble. I can't stand people that don't have common sense and as far as I'm concerned she's severely lacking." Journalist thing maybe? Whatever. She was too smart for his liking too, in the nosy way, where she noticed things. And there was plenty he would prefer that the media had no idea about regarding him and his business.
"... a hippie then." Van summarised, though he was pleasant enough about it. He opened the door and waited for Damien to step out. As they left the room, heading out for coffee, he locked up.
And avoided acknowledging the comment about avoidance.

And avoided acknowledging the comment about avoidance. "Yeah I have the overwhelming urge to protect the idiot woman... Oh well, that ship has sailed far as I am concerned," he said. Nuff bout Hunter Bones.
Then his face lit up about Gem. "Total hippie... she is perfection, man." He then went ahead of Van out of the office, now blissed out on thoughts of Gemini... but not forgetting about Lil and Van. Heh. |
