Cheeks blushing hard and shrinking even deeper on his chair, Nicholas tried to flat unsuccessfully his wild curly brown hair, as he chuckled nervously and stammered the words, "You think so?

Heheh, it made him feel rather pleased with himself that someone -even if that person was still a stranger to him- thought that he was the right person for his job. He didn't even believe it himself, for Nicholas never saw himself as a leader or anything like that.
"You know, Evaline, I might be prying a little too much, but--what happened to the other Division head? the previous one, I mean?". His tone of voice was definitely not the gossip type. Nicholas had never been fond of gossip or rumours; he was just merely curious.
