Tancred knew this voice from somewhere. Where, though? Who's voice did that belong to? Could it be...
"Willy!" he exclaimed, a bit surprised to see him in the Ministry of all places. Since when did that happen?
It was tempting to drop his box on the floor so he could give his friend a bear hug. It had been ages! But Willy had beat him to the punch with the good old slap on the shoulder, which would have to do for now. There would be plenty of time for the two of them to catch up since they were working in the same department and everything. First thing first, he needed to get settled in to his new workplace.
After Willy welcomed him to the level, Tancred followed him past the reception desk and into the creatures work area. "Thanks, mate. I had no idea that I'd be seeing you. How long have you been working here?" Ah, so he recognized him! Good, good. There was only one William Walter Williamson, after all. Most people, especially fellow dragon people, didn't just FORGET this tall man.
"Heh," he chuckled, "Harmony should have put in your welcome letter that I'm this floor's official greeter." Not really, but sometimes it felt like he was the only one who showed up to work. "I've been here three... going on four years now?" Wow, had it really been that long? He supposed he wasn't missing Romania as much anymore...
They could chat more while Tanc set up his new desk though. William paused on the way out of reception to get a good look at the other newbies here, some of which might be new COWORKERS for him!
SPOILER!!: Pem and Ember Quote:

She could see only two people, and they looked like they knew each other. Pem now decided that it would have been all right to have brought her cat. At least then she would have known someone. Deciding that it was too late to turn around and go home to get Earl, Pem sat down in a chair and waited for someone who might look somewhat familiar. Or anyone else really. Quote:

Coffee didn't help.
Normally she wouldn't have dressed as nicely, but considering...first day and all...well..it seemed appropriate. She had long since abandoned the hope of matching outfits with her hair, but whatever! Blue hair, don't care, right? She sipped her coffee diligently as she walked in. She was so excited she SQUEEEEEEEEEED quite a bit....and then realized....there were two men there.
WHEEEEELP.
"Are you my coworkers?!" she cried, looking quite happy about having coworkers! "How nice! Oh my! I hope you both are having as WONDERFUL a day that I am!" she said, looking out the fake window and siiiiiighing at the gentle fake sunlight. It honestly was pretty today, in actuality. Just something else to put Ember's mood on HIGH. She turned back to them...she was a bit younger, but she honestly didn't care. Being twenty-one meant people actually took you seriously, most times, at least. And she was almost twenty-two. Right? RIGHT?
She looked down at her watch and wondered if she should introduce herself. Was it too early for that? Or should she wait? Too many thoughts, and over-thinking, caused Ember to turn briiiiiight red in the face and she just bounced a little as she sipped her coffee. Maybe she would wait. Yes. Waiting seemed the right thing to do, especially since her cheeeeeeerful hello hadn't been responded to yet.
EMBER JUST WANTED TO WORK. And be happy. And help others be happy. And help CREATURES BE HAPPY.
So much happy. O______O
She then noticed another woman and she BEAMED at her! "Hi! Hello! Are you new here as well?!" she asked. Her voice was breathless with...excitement. "I'm new! As you can see--" she giggled a little. "Only a newb could be THIS excited to come in THIS early--but that's okay! Early birds get the worm!" Ugh. And now she was that weird happy quote person..but Ember promised herself she would only allow herself to be the 'crazy happy quote person' for today...tomorrow she had to get her STUFF together and be all...serious.
HA! Yeah right. Quote:

"Hello." Pem said with a smile. "I'm new, yes. Am I that out of place looking?" She asked with a chuckle. Now that she thought about it she was probably painfully out of place looking and probably reeked of newbie. "I'm Pem Sparrow, Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection." She introduced herself as she stuck out her hand. That was the proper work place introduction etiquette, right?
Was everyone this cheerful around here? It wasn't even snowing...or was it?
"Uhhhh, hi," William had to blink to take in the new girl. Was she even old enough to work here? "I'm William Williamson, Creatures." He offered a quick handshake to each of them. "I'll be in those cubicles over there," he thumbed over his shoulder toward the CREATURE ones the better side of this floor, obviously, "if either of you needs help finding anything....?"
There, he'd been nice and offered.

"Lunch at 12?" she asked, more out of confirmation than a question. "Has anyone told you how handsome you look today?" Besides her of course, about half a dozen times.
But then she overheard two people in the reception area. Time to be professional now, because the last thing she wanted was for one of them to get fired for inappropriate workplace conduct. Oooh and did she hear right?!? "Pem? You're our new hire!" Their only one as far as she heard anyway. Dropping Cole's hand, she reached her hand out to Pem. "Alexandria Hadley. Climate controller with the Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection. Have you got your job position yet? Anyone show you around the department?" Because she'd do it, if the girl wanted. "Hey Hadley," he waved at the NOT so new girl, even though she worked on the other side of the floor. Thennnnn he moved to the cubicles for reals.
