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.

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."
