Evander put his wand away carefully fixing it to his holster and disillusioning it by reflex. He straightened up and walked over to his usual seat, by Damien. But instead of sitting down he pushed it out of the way and leaned against the table, most of his weight on his fists as he looked around, surveying the MLErs. He made eye contact with each of them, and waited until the room was silent and all attention was on him before he spoke.

"Most of you know at least part of why I called this meeting. Yes we'll discuss this apparition license business, but that is not all we will focus on. Of course it is business as usual and despite.... difficulties, we must continue as we can to do our jobs." Van paused and stood up straight.

"I've noticed," Because if they thought Evander floated about in his own little world and ignored his employees they would be very mistaken, "that there seems to be a little... shall we call it dissent in the ranks." He looked around gravely but didn't pick anyone out.

"This will stop. I don't care what your personal differences are. I don't give a crap if you don't like someone in this department. You'll do your jobs and you'll work together and trust that I know what I am doing in hiring each and every one of you." He looked around again. "I trust all of you and right now, more than ever we need trust." More than ever.

"You'll respect each other, and respect those who have the experience to pave the way here in our department, and all of you -all of you- have something to bring to the table."

Van went silent for a moment to allow this to be digested and then he spoke again.

"And more than ever, we need to be seen as united, and professional. This means I don't want to hear about any of you taking this apparition thing out on any Transportation employees, or on each other." He paused and added quietly, "I will hold myself to the same standards." Which... well, Van had a temper, no denying it so him vowing to do the same was a big deal.

"I said I trusted you all, so I am going to tell you, all of you, what my involvement with the Cult of Walpurgis has been, and I'm going to trust that what I say won't leave these walls."

Emily waited patiently, her eyes fixed to the front of the room. She couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine as Van eyed each and every one of them. It was easy to see why he was Head of Department.

Listening intently, Emily processed what Van was saying... she understood, she knew what he meant by trusting one another. And while she did-in the back of her mind at least- acknowledge that Van was a good man, and knew what he was doing... she still couldn't shake a little bit of that mistrust. But she would deal with it, work around it, bite her tongue if she had to. Its not that she didn't like Isobel, she was just concerned... and she was well within her right to be concerned. Still she nodded in understanding... she wouldn't go against his word.

Emily was all for a united front, and business as usual. Showing the Cult they couldn't ruffle their feathers that easy was necessary. But they would need to do more than just business as usual, and Emily was all for longer hours and more work.

Involvement? What was Van talking about? ...

Emily's curiosity senses were burning, she leaned forward in her seat slightly.
