With a sigh, the auror was certainly glad that it the discussion was over. Not that the topic was over...not by a long shot. He'd just have to continue striving real hard to improve that.

Simon had been busy on rounds and wandered through the atrium to check on the security office and the workers manning the wand weighers that resided there in among the hustle and the bustle of the main entrance to the ministry like any given day in the building. He gave them a polite smile as he passed before noticing the hanging poster for Victoria Culloden.

Yes...he was leaning more and more on complete support of the woman.
The first thing that he checked upon his arrival at the atrium, was the statue. Whether or not the fool thing had it's head replaced yet, or if they had decided to redecorate. He paused close to its base, tucking his hands in his pockets and tilting his head up to look at the handy work. It looked as good as new. If he hadn't been the one to blow the thing to pieces so many years ago, he would never have believed that it had happened.

Ah magic. A wonderful thing, both in destruction and creation.

Letting out a slow breath, Sabel returned his attention to those meandering about the atrium. He was taking his time in making his way up to the MLE department level. As excited as he was to be back, there was a sense of trepidation for walking into that office. There were old faces there, that Emily had assured him of, but they weren't all there. And some that had left had been replaced by new faces. Life seemed to move by way of faces.

Trailing his fingers lightly under the cuff of his sleeve where he kept his second wand hidden, Sabel's eyes cast about the atrium, scanning the faces. Which were the ones that could be trusted? And which weren't?

His attention trailed to the hanging posters, his gut twisting at the sight of them. More politics then? That was one thing long term assignment had given him relief of. Politics. Bloody politics. London was bursting with them.

He eyed the people standing near the posters, looking at them, discussing them, and his attention snagged on one particular individual. All foul tasting memories dissipated in an instant, and in that instant, Sabel felt like the young YATI Auror that he had once been.

Which, was probably why he didn't think better of carefully weaving his way through the crowd, keeping out of the line of sight of the man he had noticed. Even as a YATI he would have known better than to pull such a stunt on an Auror, but they had grown up through Hogwarts and the ranks of the MLE together: it was hard to view him as anything but an old friend in that instant. And as a YATI, he hadn't had the practice or skill set to know how to properly keep out of sight to even so much as attempt something like this.

He paused a few times and altered course twice, before he was finally able to fall in step at Simon's side. Despite his best attempts at being serious, he couldn't wipe the slanted smirk from his lips. He wondered how long it would take his friend to notice, and what his reaction might be. Perhaps he should say something?
