The man hadn’t been paying attention and he didn’t care what anyone said; that wasn’t the way to go about your training... no matter how young you were. Bad habits died hard once they were set in stone.

Jaxton couldn’t help it. Seriously he couldn’t. He rolled his eyes at the younger man. “Not everything is black and white.” Again, his voice was hushed but considering how close they were standing to each other, he was almost 100% positive that Sabel could hear him perfectly well. “There are others who would wish to draw a target on your back. It is not simply them and those-“ the Cult and the Dark Wizards, “-who have it in for us.”

The Auror paused, and seemed to think something over for a minute. “Damien would not be happy if I let anything happen to you while he was recuperating.” Yes, that was the word he was using to describe why the Head Auror wasn’t here – and he wasn’t going to change that. “I do not care if Emily led the attack or not, you she shouldn’t have done it...” He would have gone on, into a long rant about thinking about the consequences of their actions – but that rant had already been heard (more than once, he assumed) – so he didn’t need to hear it again.

“Just be more aware of your surroundings. Friends and Enemies come in all shapes, sizes and forms. Besides – I might have been a polyjuice me. Would you have been able to tell the difference without waiting for the hour to be up?” Jax asked him suddenly, intriqued as to what the Brits had been taught in their training. Poor Sabel.

Alright, maybe if the man hadn't insisted on rolling his eyes or giving him a lecture on what he thought happened, Sabel would have been able to step down and step back into a place of similar respect that he held for Damien. However, that was not how events turned and despite everything Damien had taught him, despite the man's friendship to Damien, he found the fires peaking again.

He wasn't going to argue however, about things being black and white. Several people he knew said otherwise, and for him it was an undecided grey area; no point in going there, in picking a fight where there wasn't a point to have one. "Them and those are the greatest concern right now." Really, he had no idea what this Jaxton character was talking about. There was no one else besides personal enemies of jealousy or vengeance that he could think would want to paint pretty targets, and as far as he knew, for the time being at least, he was clear of those.

As for being under Damien's wing, he apparently wasn't clear of that. And while he didn't mind being so close to the man in concern, he didn't particularly like behind stood over like he needed to be protected. Instead of voicing it in words however, Sabel reigned in his tongue and simply gave the man a flat look that said just as much. As for Emily, he could only arch an eyebrow. He shouldn't have moved to stand by a friend's side who was in trouble? Granted, standing back and observing may have been the 'best' course of action, but then again, if something had happened, would he have been able to act quick enough from the sidelines? "Sometimes, Mr. Jaxton, the rules of the written book are neither black nor white."

Sabel's head tilted a little bit as he considered the man, his hand slowly closing the folder. Polyjuice? Friends and enemies? That was a good question. "Mr. Jaxton, meaning no disrespect, but I highly doubt that's the case. The Cult or Dark Wizards would not expend effort on polyjuicing into a man I have no care about or relationship too. If they wanted to manipulate me and my trust, they would have picked someone that I would be concerned about. Or, they would confront me head on, as they have done in the past. So, if you'll excuse me, I have more important matters than deliberating 'ifs' and 'maybes' of improbable scenarios."
