After grabbing a sandwich and a drink, he headed down to his seat, nodding briefly at Wes, before taking a seat and starting to eat. Wes returned Benjy's nod, suddenly feeling jealous of how dedicated the younger man was to his food. Look at him, just digging straight into it. How he missed being a hungry hit wizard! Now he was just a busy department head. Grunt. Quote:

"Wes, good to see you again and congratulations on...everything," he said as he stuck out one of his hands and balanced his gravy plate on the other. "And thank you for the bonus," he said lowering his voice. It had REALLY come in handy this break in treating the future Mrs. Ashburry-Hawthorne to a vacation in Fiji.
"Good to see you as well, Rafael." Fellow plant slash environmental bro. Always a pleasure.
Was that Honking Daffodil of a woman here? She didn't seem to be. She probably would scold Aron for TOUCHING a plate or the table.
Aron's eyes drifted a bit as he moved to put his plate down to where someone was...drooling? Well, he DID suppose the food here was rather mouthwatering...until the woman began acting rather oddly. "Has that woman been around too much mallowsweet or something?" he asked, leaning over towards Wes as he pointed to the drooling woman. "Hey Aron, thanks," Wes nodded back toward his plant-loving employee. His eyes only twinkled at mention of the raise (the man had earned it, after all), and made a note to congratulate him later too. About that engagement. Yeah, never mind that it had happened a while ago...
His head whipped around at mention of someone drooling... a different someone than the guy staring in space, too. Uh oh, that was Kensi. She'd just asked for some time off before break, too.
"I'm not sure..." he murmured in response, taking a half a step her way before he was caught up in conversation again. Merlin, it had been his point to come to the buffet to EAT, not to TALK! Quote:

She nodded at Rafael. "Another Department Head?" she extended her hand to shake his. "So it seems I'm the odd one out"
Julia took her fork, she saw Wes standing. "Aren't you gonna sit down? And did you just say you had twins?" she asked, amused. "Congrats. And nice name, especially Logan" Julia began to munch on her salad when she noticed Rafael wasn't eating anything. "Erm, whats up?" she asked him. "Are you feeling well, Mr.Rafael?"
She looked at the man whom Wes pointed. Uhm, he does look bad. Competition for Mr.Rafael. "He looks like the latest zombie on the lose-" She turned towards Wes. "- But don't worry, I won't let him spoil your suit" she chuckled a bit. "It's not bad," he shrugged toward her. His smiles were fading fast as he was starting to get a bad feeling about some of the people here. It was like they were all.... infected with something. So bizzare!
Wasn't he going to sit down? "Well I'd LIKE to," Wes nearly growled. He did take a step toward the table, finally, hoping his precious food wasn't TOO cold by now.
"There's zombies on the loose?" Wes whipped his head around again to STARE at Julia. "What? What are you talking about?" And why hadn't he been informed of this sooner?! SPOILER!!: Melissa, Kensi Quote:

"Oh you saw me laughing? I was surprised that I had so much food on my plate and was wondering whether people would think whether I had not eaten in weeks." Melissa grinned at him.
"I have to say though, that I actually may come back for seconds. Everything looks so delicious." she blushed when her tummy growled again. Quote:

Really REALLY confused...
The American lost her gaze and continued walking..the drooling was more like a waterfall, now...and she walked right past the tables and headed straight for a WALL.
BAM!
Kensi ran right into it, and she bounced back a little, tripped, and fell FLAT on her back....she had her eyes closed, but her head was spinning...where...was she...and why was she...laying down...WORK..she was at work...
What?
She coughed and immediately felt like vomiting. UGH. "H-help?" she asked feebly, to no one in particular....ugh ugh
UGH! Quote:

But then she stopped when she got nearer to the woman. Something was not right with her. But she couldn't just stand there and do nothing, so she knelt down and said.
"Are you okay?"Melissa asked before she realized that she had just asked a dumb question. 'Of course she isn't Melissa or do you think all staff come in to eat looking pale and falling down on the floor." Melissa chided herself.
She looked around to see whether anyone else noticed what was going on .
"Can someone please help here?"Melissa called out. She noticed that the woman was also drooling. Was she having a seizure?
Melissa immediately took off her jacket and placed it under the woman's head. Then she began to loosen her clothing. 'Oh Merlin I do hope I know what I'm doing. Where is everybody?' Quote:

And plus, she was confused. "I..don't know why I'm..here..." but she knew that she knew why she was here..before...if that made ANY sense?! She rubbed her head and suddenly aw stars...her head was spinning...and she began to gag, like she might throw up. She clutched her stomach and turned her head to the side so that the 'helpful' lady wouldn't be in the way of any...projectiles.
BLEGH!
Kensi's drool was also not helping..it was making her choke and sputter even more... Quote:

Melissa breathed a sigh of relief and figured that maybe she was feeling better although she still look pale, was still drooling and looked almost catatonic.
Then she noticed her pulling out her wand. Melissa's internal alarm went off. Why was she pulling out her wand? Melissa decided she wasn't going to wait to find out. Unholstering her own wand, she pointed her wand at the lady, called out," Expelliarmus" and quickly disarmed the lady of her wand catching it as it flew to her.
What in the world was happening? Had she done the right thing by disarming her? Maybe she just wanted to look at it. All those thoughts raced through Melissa's mind all at once.
'It's okay Melissa. Everyone knows how to disarm someone of their wand. You didn't reveal anything else.' Melissa told herself. She just wished her training instincts hadn't instinctively kicked in the way it did. No one could know her secret. Not yet at least.
Just then, the crowd parted, and Wes witnessed one of his employees disarming the other. He had missed the 'seizure' spectacle in between talking to Julia and Rafa, and now he was torn between rudely leaving the people he was talking to and intervening between the employees. Were they fighting? Was this a duel in the middle of the orientation??!
Or was something else going on.... Whitworth didn't even appear to be reacting to her disarment, and Potter didn't look too happy about having disarmed her either.
All right, his curiosity was getting the best of him. "Excuse me, Rafael, Julia," Wes grunted to the two, carrying his plate over to the table and thumping it down rather forcefully next to Kensi. He waited for her to react, and looked to Melissa with a sigh.
"Good thought, disarming her like that." He snapped two fingers in the patrol officer's face. "How long has she been doing this??"
