SPOILER!!: Gabi Quote:

She did a quick scan of the woman and could tell she was nervous. Probably just first day jitters - at least, Gabi hoped that's what it was. Jittery people didn't often last long in this position. "So, are you ready to get started?! Department Head is a very exciting position," she said to the girl with a broad smile. She wanted to try and get the girl to relax a bit, especially with these intimidating guys around. Ladies had to look out for each other here!
"Gabriela," Emmalee repeated, committing the woman's name to memory as they shook hands. "Pleasure to meet you." Emmalee didn't think she recognized the woman, but over the last year or so, she had had, well, some tunnel vision around her work. Somedays the only time she spent not in the greenhouse were the brief minutes in the lift on her way in and on her way out. So, for all she knew, Gabriela had been at the ministry for years.
Emmalee nodded in response to her question. "Absolutely. It's a great opportunity." Emmalee could hold her own with the boys, just as soon at it really settled in for her that she belonged here. "Truthfully," she added, "I only just found out I got the job. I'm still getting used to the idea."
"Any advice?" SPOILER!!: Aron and Rainey Quote:

Wherever it was the young man had gone bouncing off to.
Gabriela he could handle...but this Rainey...
His eyes narrowed curiously at the bloke at his choice of words. Curious ones, coming from a Hit Wizard. "Right," he nodded as the man took his hand and quite literally crushed it. Snapped his bones like they were nothing more than twigs. "Oi!" he barked, slapping the man's arm with his other hand and, in the process, splashing him with the remainder of his firewhiskey. "What are you playin' at, you bloomin' dill?" He looked down at his hand and noted the swelling - not to mention his now empty glass which meant he would need to mourn the waste of beverage in a moment or two - and curled his lip into a snarl.
He didn't even have time to appreciate Emmalee's appearance - let alone congratulate her on her promotion - his full attention on the fact that Mr. Devil's Snare over there had felt it entirely necessary to crush his hand on a first meeting. Quote:

All too quickly though, there was barking and slapping and there was drink on him! Sheeeesh! Aron needed to keep his skirt on! "What?! What?!" he barked in return, brows narrowing defensively. He licked some idle droplets of amber liquid from his sleeve before the fabric could absorb it, drops like this were a shame to waste.
What was he playing at? Blloming dill?
Elliot leaned forward in his seat toward Aron. Did he want to repeat that? "Come again?"
"Should I be offended? What's got your panties in a knot?" he retorted gruffly, blue eyes locked on the mans snarl.
But oh hey, hello.
The pretty red head could no go unnoticed, despite the circumstances.
"Evening, ma'am," he replied a quick flash of a smile before slapping Aron on the back in a playful manner. Nothing to see here. Jovial manly bonding. Move along. [/COLOR]
But Merlin, what was happening over there. Emmalee glanced over at the two men, a bit concerned but unsure of what was happening between them. And despite him having smiled, and something about it made her uneasy but she couldn't quite place it, she still have no idea who he was.
Looking between the two of them, she had a thought. "Aron, at some point, I'd love to hear how those mutants are doing." Hopefully, that gave the man an exit, should he need it.
