"Okay, okay," she replied, as if he were getting his knickers in a know - which of course he wasn't. Still. It was when he said she'd given him things to think about that she knew it was something she'd said. "Well don't think too hard on them." There was nothing wrong with meaningful considerations, but she knew the impact that overthinking something could have on ones psych, and it was seldom a good thing.

Sabel's words of thanks were met with a reserved smile, one of support but not of joy. And without so much as another word on that matter, she slipped the envelope securely into the breast pocket of her coat, close to her chest. Following Sabel's lead, she too rest back in her seat, no longer leaning forward to the table.

She could hear the conversation taking place at the table set behind her, something about financial woes and concert tickets... how odious. Returning back to her own conversation - or lack thereof - Emily amused herself with potential responses to Sabel's perhaps rhetorical question... though it seemed he had other thoughts on his mind. "You always ask the tough questions," she smirked. "Most have stuck around, I've promotes some key players, though I suppose you haven't met Bones have you?" he was one of her favourites for sure, "Chosen too, he's a good egg even if he can be a pest at the best of times."

What both amused her and disappointed her most though, were the YATI, they somehow seemed to be... too green. "Do you remember when we were YATI's?" she asked, reminiscing on those years past. "Because you need to see the recruits we've been given, I don't doubt they scored well in their N.E.W.T's but they just don't seem to get it, not to mention the attitude to boot." Admittedly, Greenwell wasn't a bad recruit, she showed promise, but Bellaire, she didn't quite know what to make of him yet. "I had one recruit turn up at my office and alluded to myself being the Dragon Lady." Not to say she wasn't proud of that title, but she didn't much care for the boys brashness. Dragon Ladies appreciated respect.


Sabel returned Emily's smirk in kind. "It's what I was known for back in Hogwarts, remember?"

Always asking questions. It didn't always pan out great either, but that was probably because as often as he asked he tended to demand answers. Oh the good old days of youth. Something like that.

It was good to know some of the old team was kicking around. This Bones person though he couldn't recall ever meeting. "Can't say that I have. Not a Hogwarts graduate, are they?" They because, well, was Bones a male or a female name?

At the mention of Chosen's name an eyebrow arched and a smile played on the corners of his lips. He hadn't been sure how the Legend would fit into the Auror business, and he couldn't say he was disappointed that he had made Emily's marking ranks. He nodded his approval, not that Emily needed it from him. "Chosen always was a good guy." Always interesting, that was for darn sure. "What about Simon? Is he still kicking around?"

He hadn't spoken to his classmate in years. That, was going to have to change soon.

The smile that settled onto Sabel's lips at the turn to reminiscing about the old days was devious. His eyes glinted with amusement, even though some part of him sympathized with the difficulties of being a Senior, let alone a Department Head. "Yes, but do you remember who we had to train us? We were full of lip too, but it's a little different putting it to words when your standing in front of veterans." No offense of course.
"Damien had me scrub out the washroom with a toothbrush once."

Yup. The good old days. He eyed Emily as if to ask her if she had yet employed such a method. "But lets be honest here, you kind of are the Dragon Lady." His grin was full. The YATI may not have been able to get away with it, but he knew full well what slack she would give him. "It's rather a complement. Means your marking your mark on the Department Head history."

Still, all jesting aside, there was concern for the news. Now he understood, if only to a small degree, why the Aurors had been so harsh on their rashness when they were YATI's. He tipped his head, smile still in place. "Sounds though, like maybe an extra hand wouldn't go amiss."
