 ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf
Talk about timing, Emily was mildly impressed. New Girl, had a sense of humour too, bonus. She did however, exchange a glance from Genevieve to Aspen. Why did she get the feeling the two of them together would equal trouble?
She only hoped this wasn't going to get girly and weird, she didn't want to regret having so many women on the team.
"Welcome to the team Odessa," she offered, by way of greeting. "Emily Browne, Head Auror," she added with a nod. They'd have words later. Official words and the like. Plenty of time for that stuff.
"While I admire your confidence, cockiness will get you killed.... on your toes Genevieve." The cold was one thing, but any decent witch or wizard with a wand, or without, could handle the cold. There were other dangers, particularly in deep, dark forests.
Now that all greetings were exchanged, they could get on with it. Hopping down from the edge of the table, Emily's expression took on a semi-serious expression.
"Firstly, it's good to see you all on time and prepared..." as well as they could be, considering, heh. "... the primary purpose of our trip is to identify our weaknesses, as individuals and as a team. Some areas of focus will be magical combat, enchantment detection, stealth and tracking and of course, problem solving. With this in mind, it will also be a team building exercise." Only, without any of that hold-handing-sing-along-bat-crap-crazy stuff.
Emily strongly disliked hearing how the department wasn't strong or efficient enough, Rusty's analysis still lingered in the back of her mind. Things were going to change. Or at least, in the Auror office it would.
"In times of trouble or crisis, we need to be alert, efficient and united, we need to be able to work like a well oiled machine... so that is our mission."
"Are there any questions before we depart"
