Originally Posted by Pinky Did it make Damien a BAD person since he ignored the crying woman as best he could? He didn't get paid to care about people anymore... so he didn't. Heh. And that answered his own question. Yes! It made him a terrible person. With that revelation he cast a sympathetic glance toward her and sighed on her behalf. Terrible thing, that loss and all.
Turning his attention back to Wes a grin spread his face once more and he chuckled. "California is treating all of us well I would say," he stated vaguely. Heh. COULDN'T THE MAN SEE HIS TAN? I mean COME ON. It was epic. "I think Gem may join later with Aries. I came ahead because... I wanted to make sure you all were doing your jobs and whatnot..." He could NEVER admit he missed the place. That was against bro code or something wasn't it?
..."Retirement is quite nice as well, Wes. You should try it sometime. I haven't slowed down since, really. Been working full time since I left here." Giving the man a grin he swept a hand through his reasonably shorter hair and smirked.
And then the news that made him blink at Wes. He had never been a fan of Izzy really... not in any sense of the words. BUT he was happy the OLD DOG had found happiness and in some weird way he hoped Isobel stopped being so ridiculous now that Wes was to be a PERMANENT fixture in her life. "Congrats, man. We will have to celebrate and all while I am here." "You look good," Wes had to agree. Damien actually looked younger than he ever had in the MLE and definitely more tan. Whatever vitamins they put in the water out there sure were doing his old coworker some good.
He tilted his head and shrugged a bit about the retiring thing. "I don't know what I'd do in retirement," Wes admitted. "Not yet, anyway. I've still got a good ten years in me here." Heheh. He was going to be an old, old dog before anyone dragged him out of law enforcement. And even then he'd only go if Izzy would.
"So where have you been working?" He remembered to require before he noticed Damien's protege sneaking down the corridor. Wesley's eyes started twinkling but he turned back to his former Auror with a raised brow. "Celebrate? Hell yes, let's. Throw me a bachelor party, mate. Make it memorable." Something told Wes Damien would be good at memorable. Quote:

She was dabbing at her eyes now, feeling, well, not better exactly, but out of tears at least. She was grateful for the sympathy. And feeling foolish for not being able to keep it together. "Who did you lose, if you don't mind me asking…?" Really, it was none of her business, so it was okay if he didn't answer. "I think I'll do that. It's not like I'm going to be much use in this shape anyway." She didn't even know what she'd been thinking attempting work anyway. There were probably better ways of taking her mind off things. Catching a glimpse of Roxanne out of the corner of his eye, Wes swiveled his seat back toward the original person he'd been talking to. He cleared his throat solemnly and tried not to resort to making eye contact with the floor as he answered her question. "My wife. My first wife. Her name was Sylvia."
He was over her though.... wasn't he? He had a completely opposite life to look forward to with Isobel. "I totally understand. Have a drink or too," Wes suggested to her with a shrug. "And some chocolate cake." Those things were his favorite comfort objects, anyway. Quote:

"Made any headway on that desk yet," Damien asked with a grin. Throwing a conspiratorial glance toward Wes he couldn't help but BARK with laughter. Man he was cracking himself up today.
"Ready and groomed for YATI graduation, son?" Nodding toward Sabel and holding back a smirk at the desk comment, Wes pretended not to be listening to the mentor and his (former?) pupil's conversation. He focused on the papers in his hand for a moment instead.
