The Derek guy was rather silent. Eh...he didn't need him to be talkative anyway. Josh watched the man to see if he was going to take his help then if the man was not going to make it clear with words. When he observed it carefully that he had the clip on him safely, Josh returned to his climbing down yet more slowly than how he had started just to keep this certain distance between him and Derek.

When he felt the iron rope loosen and heard the footsteps, it was clear to him that Derek had reached the bottom. Good. Then he fastened his progress of climbing down and his feet also found the floor not long after the A&C guy had landed. He took off the clip of the iron rope and threw it away. "WE ARE IN!" he yelled up the hole to let others know. He was not sure if they would hear it properly but he was not going to call them down until he made sure it was safe.

Wand light on, the auror approached to the other guy. "Let's see if it is safe in here so the others can join us." raising his wand, he looked around a bit. Nothing looked out of ordinary except that...it was so empty. He had never seen this spot in the ministry without a crowd of people. "Or i can go and check, if you want."
