There it was. The turn, the look and pure surprise. This time Sabel did chuckle, dropping his hand. "Howdy, Simon."
Now that they were facing each other properly the time that had passed was finally vividly apparent, and it seemed like a lifetime had passed since they had last seen one another. Now, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see a YATI, but a full fledged Auror. When in Merlin's beard had that happened? Where had the years all gone?
Though this silence... "Oh come now, it's not like I'm back fro-"
He was cut off mid-sentence as Simon caught him in an unexpected hug-greeting.
Grinning, Sabel returned the hug, clapping his friend on the back. He was about to return a greeting of his own as they parted, when he got smacked. The surprise of it made him flinch briefly, but the laughter that followed was almost instantaneous. "Of course I do. But I couldn't resist the opportunity to check if you've been keeping on your toes."
It was a bit of a redundant statement, given it seemed to be the number one priority of the MLE. Keeping their employees constantly vigilant. His eyes skipped briefly to the poster again before returning to his friend.
And for no other reason than he could, Sabel returned the swat with a clap on his friend's shoulder. "And of course, you didn't disappoint. How have you been?"
Howdy, Simon.
Yep, that was Sabel. How long had it been since they had seen each other face to face for any length of time? It wasn't quite as long as it had been since they had stopped being flatmates since he had moved out to live with Arya before changing his assignment designations. Right? To be honest after awhile the years had started blending together, marked only with the passing of the newer batches of YATI in the office.
And he caught what the other man had started to say and he was so very glad it hadn't been true. Even if the former Gryffindor might have been coming back from the dead in the proposed scenario, it would have bothered Simon deeply to think him gone for good in the first place.
Was that a flinch, Dakest?
"Not working for a certain former prosecutor, are you?" he asked with a raised eyebrow of curiousity though he was teasing all the while. Like Sabel would side with the likes of Roxanne against the MLE. Simon waved off his question for he realised the other former Gryffindor would likely have no idea what he was talking about.
He couldn't help the smile that graced his face as his friend grasped his shoulder though. Oh he had missed his friend. "I have been well...quite well." Simon wasn't quite sure how to put everything into words. All that had happened since they had worked directly together including work and Angelina. They certainly needed to catch up on all that was going on in each other's lives.
"How about you?" he questioned, returning the favor. "And Arya? And the chil-?" Was there just one or more by now? It was hard to keep track with the distance and Josh already kept him busy with number of kids.
