"Oh well that's good..minor incidents aside of course," she smiled, nodding happily as she looked around at the growing crowd.Looking back at Brian she furrowed her brow slightly as she processed what he just said. "Hmm? OH! Yes my ID and bag, of course, sorry.Here you go," Stretching out her arms she held her identification out with her left hand and her bag with her right. "It's just my cleaning equipment and potions, nothing sinister," she winked, chuckling as she handed it over for inspection. "You haven't? At least that gives me time to prepare some things I suppose.Although I hope they arrive soon, I was hoping to get some cleaning done before the majority of spectators turn up." Scratching the back of her neck, Olivia went over the plan again in her head.It was simple when you thought of it, but it was a shame they had to cover so much ground with so few of them.She nodded at Brian's question before she answered it. "As prepared as we can be.Everyone has been practicing their spells, I did mention we were using purple sparks and patronus' for emergencies in our groups didn't I?" She had been a bit busy of late, with her brain everywhere thinking of the QWC. "So if you see any it's the maintenance teams with a problem." |
Brian grinned and scanning her ID and bag, "Mmm..so nothing interesting in it..." he joked as handed her things back. "So according to security rules, you're harmless and allowed to do your work and watch the game if possible.." he chuckled but really feeling bad for some department people including himself, who cannot watch the game due to work.
Watching her reactions, Brian grinned. "They will show up soon, dont worry. If not I'm here to help you as much as I can." he gave her assurance and not wanting to make her feel alone. "Oh..okay. I'll tune my eyes for the purple sparks then" Purple for Maintenance and Gold for Security, nice combination.

Nathan chuckled lightly. “I don't know. Life sometimes gets in the way of these things.” He shrugged. Or grief. Nathan had become a bit of a self confessed recluse following the events after Brian's wedding. “But I guess we should make more of an effort.” He took his ID back and stuffed it in his back pocket.
It didn't take a detective to see by the look on Brian's face that his lie had not gone unnoticed. Sigh. He never had been able to lie convincingly ,but it was easier than the truth right now. He averted his eyes from Brian's to the ground and suddenly felt very awkward. He scratched the back of his head uncomfortably resisting the temptation to wince when Brian said he missed Egypt and the kids. 'Yeah.. me too.' He thought darkly.
He looked up again when no questions came and the focus was on Becky rather than himself. Thank Merlin for that. “Ah.. Congratulations, you two.” He said, reaching out to shake Brian's hand. He smiled at Becky. “So how long have you got to go?” he asked with interest, determined to keep the focus off himself.
|
Brian felt uncomfortable now. He didnt know such a simple question could create this much awkward situation. He might have avoided it
if he got fueled before or atleast a hint. He had not paying attention to his surroundings? Might be. Oh..he was so wrapped in his own
world lately, a small happy world with only him, Becca and their lil nudger. Sighing mildly, Brian broke the silence, "Sure, we must spend
some time together. Purely some quality men time" he said and smiled widely when Nathan congratulated them for having a baby.
"Thanks, mate!" he shook his hand back and nodding his head in agreement with Becca about his next question. They had reached only
half way, and need to go a long to hold their bundle of joy in hands.

"Good" she grinned and then eyed him "No changing the rules. The only chance will be MORE interest" she grinned, joking around too. When he smiled at her and told her to leave it, she looked away and then looked back at him, her unhappiness melting away at his gentle cheek caressing. Not saying anything because she knew it wouldn't be nice, she sighed and then smiled as Sarah called her Becca again, she looked at Brian, relaxing.
When he bent down, she looked at him with a grin and then giggled "Umm..." she grinned, eyeing his shirt "Umm.. Last night" she admitted, eyeing his shirt with a blush and then watching him talking to Sarah. When he teased Sarah, Becca looked up at him "More importantly, did you pass the security check?" she grinned and eyed him interestedly.
Saying nothing as Nathan spoke, Becca watched him and wondered what was going on. Watching him reach out to shake Brian's hand, she looked down with a smile "Thanks," she replied for both of them. "Too long" she grinned, knowing Brian felt the same way too. |
"MORE?" Brian laughed as shaking his head, "This's unfair. It's me only who offered you interest in first hand, but now you're demanding
more. I dunno what I'm going to do for make up that.." he squeezed her shoulder as eyeing her with twinkled eyes. He knew she was not going to let this go. Fun time ahead.
Seeing her relaxed after Sarah called her by full name, Brian sighed relievedly. "Last night?" his brows arched up in amusement, when he recollected things that had happened on previous night. "Oh..now I got." he smiled as looking down at her, enjoying her a slight tint
of pinkness on her cheek. God..she looked more beautiful when blushing. He coughed and getting back to her next question reluctantly, "Haha..nice question. Ofcourse Yes, I did by my superior" he winked and nudged on her shoulder.

Considering her boss was yet to arrive, Alexa had been wandering the place aimlessly and pretending to be on the look out for any danger/crime etc when really she was just waiting for the game to begin.
She had supposed she would find Warren.. her fiancee working.
That was still overwhelming to comprehend.
Winding her way through the crowds she found him, of course.
Coming up next to them, she smiled and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Goodafternoon," She murmured taking in his company. The Auror gave a small smile to them all. |

Apparating, a piece of cake for Tristan, only that he hadn't done it in a long time. As he arrived at some unknown spot, his body still sort of wanted to keep spinning and he had to regain his balance by taking a few steps back. Just incase, he began to pat down his jacket and put a hand to his face to make sure it was all still intact. The last thing he wanted was to miss half of his eyebrow.
Looking around, he tried to find his bearings. There were ALOT of people here already and he was sort of hoping it wouldn't be as boring as he thought it would be. But, he was here on a Daily Prophet mission, kind of, so he'd have to stick it out. Atleast he could go find Nathan and share a bottle of something if things got way unbearable.
Now... Where's this thing you have to go to get a portkey... |
Noticing two more people appeared into the area, Brian gave Becca another smile and swtiched back to work mode. "Excuse me, friends. If you provide your ID, it will be helpful for us both" he asked quietly.
