½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf Emily didn't feel the need to respond to his good day, it was a good day, as good as any day could be... and seeing as she'd offered her own greeting, a second was hardly warranted.
It amused her that Carter took a moment to observe their surroundings. It hadn't changed, much. The only real difference was the missing chairs, a number of the portraits had been removed and of course, Wes' personal items were no longer present. Easy enough to adjust to, no? "I'm well, thank you," she replied, offering a small smile before continuing. "Would you like a glass of water?" she asked, indicating the pitcher and some spare glasses on the cabinet near her desk. She took a sip from her own in waiting. "I trust you know why you're here?" she asked rhetorically before picking up his folder again and rifling through it. She didn't wait for him to respond to that question. It wasn't necessary, it was more just to break the silence, to sound conversational. "You expressed your interest in a pay increase," she noted, placing the file down again, "and you're willing to work for it?"
