She wondered if the work messed with him psychologically. Maybe that's why he was so quiet. "'M sure you vill be great, Lex. You hav quite the spirit." She smiled at her. It was true, no lies there.
Alana couldn't help but laugh at Lex's facial expression and the things she said following that. "Killing you vould make a mess on dee floor. I couldn't, I couldn't." She said, really amused. "But reely, 'm not allowed to tell. It is very avsome, yes." If only she could just tell everyone, 'OH HEY I'M THIS AWESOME CHARMIST AND YOU BETTER BE SCARED' but in a German accent and yeah.
Ooohhh, there was something she didn't hear as often as she'd have liked to. She had spirit, this lady had just said so.
"I've been told. I've also been told it'll do me some real good in this line of work so I'm excited to get started." The sooner she could throw herself into the work, the better.
Instinctively, Lex's eyes fell to the floor at the mention of it being ruined if she were to hypothetically get killed there. Funny how she'd actually forgotten about that and about the fact that someone would be in charge of cleaning it after.
"Is it some kind of contract? Or an unbreakable vow they make you lot sign when they employ you?" That might have been why she wasn't allowed to say.
"How do you even apply for a job like that if they don't openly say what they have and are all super secretive?" Quote:

You know when you asked a question then felt like a real jerk once you got the answer? Lex was having one of those moments right now.
"Whoa. Sounds rough." Losing one was bad enough but losing
both? Merlin Lex didn't wanna think about what would have happened if she'd lost her father too. One loss was enough.
Even worse yet, she had a sister she had to be bothered with too. For the briefest moment Alexa tried imagining her father passing on and leaving Jessa in her care but quickly came to the conclusion that she'd have abandoned her sister shortly after so best to avoid that subject altogether. Apparently some people actually liked their siblings. Fancy that.
"What made you so interested in joining the Transportation section?" SPOILER!!: Ember

PENELOPE.
"I know Penelope. She's NICE and WHEEEEE--but your OLD Department head---" Ember made a face. "Scary woman. You're lucky she left. She had no sense of fun. Or of interior decoration." It was all very very VERY true. "I was banned on Level Two for awhile----" Not to mention One...and Three...ahem, "But not anymore! So...YAY!" she clapped her hands cheerfully.
YES YES YES!
Scary? Lex never actually thought about it that way...wow...her....
scary. A few kids had said as much back when she was at Hogwarts but it was hardly the same as when someone in the big fancy world said it. Lex was beaming by now.
"I wouldn't really say I'm scary, just totally awesome and fierce and epic!" Not a conceited thought at all, it was simply what it was and what Auror life would do to her. Obviously.
Then she mentioned Penelope and Lex's face lit up.
"You know Penelope?!" Smaaaall world inside the Ministry, wasn't it?
"She was my Housemate until last year, we were on the same Quidditch team too." And now they'd be on the same training team, it was pretty neat.
To say she was disappointed Emily had left before she could meet her was an understatement given everything Zeke had said about her but right now Lex was too busy being impressed to think about that.
"You got banned?? Wicked! What for? Did you set off explosions? Cause someone an arm? A leg?" HOW did one get banned from a level?

Not lately, of course, not since she'd been a poor YATI and trying to keep herself and Selina alive.
Oh. OH A LEX right here. How exciting! Talking to... oh. Merlin.
From the corner of her eyes she caught the distinctive head of blonde hair make its way to the table. Forgetting the conversations she happened to be a part of at the moment, Alexa fixed her full attention on Vivi with a grin.
"I was wondering when you'd show up. You can't rub off on me if you're not here and--and look!" She pointed to Sabel with renewed enthusiasm.
" Says he's an ex-convict! How cool is that?!"
A nice looking ex-convict, surely Vivi could appreciate him for this fact too.
"Also," because she was curious about this too.
"Why are you giving advice on stuffing things into purses?" Should she have been taking notes? Must have been some survival thing for Aurors. If that was the case she needed to start learning that now.
"I don't have a purse, can I stuff my food in yours?" And NEXT time she'd remember her own because this might be official business.

Yup. He was definitely taking half the buffet home with him. Straightening the tie on the outfit that Neptune helped him pick out - because really, there was no way he'd look like this if he had dressed himself. Legend made his way over to the buffet. He already spotted a few of his co-workers so talking to people was a thing that had to happen maybe. But it was so hard. He'd rather hang out with food. Hey...hey wasn't that that guy that called himself a king when he showed up to the Gryffindor table at the Hogwarts Reunion.
"I didn't know you had a job." Actual awe here. What Department did
he belong to? Must have been something very showy. She'd probably be able to guess if she knew more about the individual departments. Something to look into for later.
"D'you call yourself a king here too?"
