It is unfortunate that we had to meet under these circumstances." Benjy stuck out a hand to shake giving her a smile.

A smirk crossed the redhead's face as Ms. Danvers told him that it wasn't necessary to stay and help clean up. "Oh I am sure that my duties can wait for now. It shouldn't take long to clean up in here. Unless you are against using magic to help." He couldn't be sure that she would be willing to just use magic to clean up the mess, let alone whether magic was even allowed to clean up the room. Either way, he had time to spare and would be willing to help out where needed.

"Benjy", she corrected herself.

Her eyes swept the room once more. "Well, I certainly appreciate it... Magic is fine in here, to an extent. You see, these vials and the stages on the equipment have to be physically sterilized before any spellwork can be done. But that I can do on my own..."

She approached the drawers that had been pulled out. "These drawers' labels are pretty self-explanitory. Dishes, slides and vials in this one... swabs, wipes, and sprays this one... so on," she gestured. "If you would be so kind as to just get it all back where it goes, that would be most helpful. Afterwards, would you remove the labels, please? I know this lab like the back of my hand... This way, anyone wanting anything will have to come to me to find it," she muttered bitterly. It was a shame she would have to do that, but if it's what she had to do to keep people from destroying her lab-- she would do it.

She drew her wand and levitated the rest of the beakers onto one table, beginning to inspect and sort them according to what kind of cleaning needed to be done. "So, you're the new hit wizard, hm? That's very interesting. Before I came to the ministry, I was a private investigator. What made you want to go into that line of work?"

Sometimes small talk was the best kind. Unlike some of the other new employees, Elinor was starting to like Benjy. She didn't mind the idle conversation.
