SPOILER!!: Sophie
[QUOTE=Nordic Witch;11724861][FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Turning to a dark haired man that had arrived behind her she said "I'd like a glass of punch too if you don't mind?" Of the least suspicious looking flavour. "I'm Sophie Connolly by the way, Accidents and Catastrophes."

So apparently he was drink server for the night. That was cool with him, though he really wasn't sure why people were still asking him for drinks when he had just proclaimed his ex-convict status. Yeah, Emily would have hexed him by now. Damien, would have been grinning like a lunatic.

He glanced to the punches before picking up a glass, giving it a little twirl and filling it with green punch. Because green punch was safe, right? Especially a strange, radioactive color. "Pleasure, Sophie." He handed her the glass. "Sabel Dakest." And that was enough of an introduction for now.

Thought that facade thing, he realized hadn't been just in front of his fellow MLEr's. It had been in front of other departments. That may be something he should fix....


SPOILER!!: Carol
[QUOTE=Ginevra;11725087]Carol nodded in thanks as she was handed the cup of punch. "Thanks for this. My name's Carol."

Sabel's attention skipped to the woman he had just served punch to, nodding a bit. "Sabel." Er. "Dakest." Yeah it was getting harder to introduce himself to people now that he had gone and opened his mouth. "Nice to meet you."

Less words, Dakest. Less words.


SPOILER!!: Alana, Alexa, Simon, mentions of Legend & Genevieve

She continued sipping on her punch, careful not to join the conversation and watched as Lex spit out questions like no other at the two men. [/color]

Of course she meant what she said and said what she meant so...whatchu gonna do bro?

"Remember my name, I mean it; Alexa Cambridge. I'm gonna be in charge one day." The look she gave him was perfectly serious too however calm and casual her voice managed to remain.

Lex took another bite of her sugary treat while waiting on whatever introduction he would offer. Wait. What if he was Head Auror? It would explain why he got so weird about her proclamation but no, this dude did one better and had her choking on her cupcake before she put it down completely. "No...freakin'...way." Whatever look she had before was replaced by one of complete awe...almost sparkly eyed actually. "You..." Ex-Convict?? A FREAKIN' EX-CONVICT. "Incredible. What'd they haul you in for? How many'd you kill? What would you do different? It was Azkaban wasn't it? Oh man I've heard stuff about there. More than a pretty face, dangerous too." So OF COURSE she was stepping closer with a wide smile, keeping an eye on this one for sure, for however long he was allowed to stay before Simon made him leave.

"Tell me you used some curses. I've been working to learn as many as I can and YOU could give me suggestions." This wasn't quite the level she hit with Vinteren fangirling but oh my. He even knew that Auror's weren't rude in events. So well read he must have been. Wooooowwwww.

There was more food here than needed to feed a jungle of hungry lions!

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.

Smirk or no smirk of amusement, he was lucky when the other man decided to speak and explain how they knew each other that Simon hadn't been drinking lest he spit the contents out all over the place. As it was, Alexa nearly choke beside him in reaction to the news.

Sabel...a convict.

That introduction was bad enough. But himself...the arresting and parole officer of Sabel for the night. That cut the cake deeper. It seemed it was tease the underlings time for the orientation and Simon was in on the whole gag. "Yep," he agreed as Sabel clamped his shoulder. "Out for decent behavior and I figured if he behaved here, it might encourage him to stay good and have more evenings like tonight." And no...the eyebrow raised was another thing for another time as the security man wasn't even sure what it was for at this point.

"The only ones who think us rude are the one's who listen to the yarn the Prophet weaves." You know, the messes the likes of Jorge and his little underling like to play. But that was enough mention of them for one night, Simon wanted to keep a good mood going else he was going to go off sulking with his girlfriend.

Oh Ember remembered him. "Hello," he returned with a polite nod. "Quite well." He was being quite amused by what was going on though he was doing his best to simply play along with the butt of everything. Alas her attention changed to another and Simon was free to notice Branxton and Legend hovering around by the food. The former being someone Alexa noticed and dragged into the thick of things. Including the ex-convict Sabel.

Please don't mess with our illusion, he silently wished.

And then there was this girl. This Alexa Cambridge. He was aware of how unintimidating it was for a proclaimed ex-convict to be starting down wide-eyed at the girl, but he couldn't help it. No, he wouldn't be forgetting her name. Ever. In fact, he'd be worrying about it. Every. Single. Night.

This girl....was. Wait, why was she moving closer? And what was with that.......A pretty face? Sabel felt his face heat at the same time his disbelief spiked. Dangerous, yes. At least she got it half right? But what was this now? Curses too? She was working on them? Just....what?

Sabel wanted to facepalm, but he was too focused on trying not to drop his drink in what was a mixture of shock and a great deal of amusement. Honestly, he didn't know whether to shake the girl or laugh at her. She was excited about meeting a convict? Most Aurors or Auror's-to-be wanted to deck a criminal, or give them a hard run-down.

This, was a first. And a problem. A big problem.

And it seemed that she wasn't the only one who believed his story. The other woman in their small circle seemed convinced, but more appropriately reserved. What department was she in again?

As he was trying to untie his tongue to figure out how to best answer the slew of questions so as to hopefully make the girl somewhat afraid of the convict titled, Simon stepped in. Gracefully and without hesitation or pause. Smooth, Bennett. Very smooth. Almost like he had rehearsed this before. Now, could Sabel pull off his end of being the creepy villain?

He wasn't sure. Even the thought of saying some of the things that came to mind made his skin crawl. And he couldn't talk mean, let alone act mean. Not to someone he had no ill will towards. And really, his face just didn't contort into such expressions. From the corner of his eye, he saw Legend and Genevieve approaching. This could either end up in a lot of laughs, or a lot of scoldings. One thing was for sure. Emily would kill them. One-hundred percent kill them if she ever found out.

Clearing his throat, Sabel turned back towards Alexa with his best knowing smile, patting Simon on the shoulder. "Might. This guy's always got high hopes for me. Sadly, I disappoint. Most of the time. Azkaban knows me well." He let out a whistle and shake of his head to accent the point.

As for the rest of her questions, no. Just no. He couldn't even joke about that stuff. Maybe she would be satisfied with a non-answer, though it wasn't particularly terrifying enough to be a good learning lesson.


SPOILER!!: Alexa (again) and Genevieve

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.

It was cute that Lex was introducing Genevieve to Sabel, who was a fellow Auror. "I've met Sabel before. He works in our office, and he isn't an ex-con or he couldn't get a job in MLE. Don't believe that line." She made a face at Sabel and opened her purse to let Lex store food inside. Extending charms were amazing.

And then there was Genevieve. In part, he was disappointed that the charade ended so early, but on the other hand, he was grateful to her. He hadn't known what he had bitten off when he had tried to pull the wool over the girl's eyes. And really, he hadn't intended it to work, let alone go so far as Alexa showing him off as her new-found-ex-convict.

And it was no wonder she had blown his cover. It seemed that the two were quite close, what with the cuddles, 'baby lion' and talk of purse stuffing. That was close friend talk for sure. On top of that tidbit of information, Alexa was a Gryffindor. That, explained a lot.

Holding up his hands Sabel made a playful face at Genevieve. Totes adults, here, just having a bit of fun. "Alright, alright. You got me."

Lowering one hand, he picked up Alexa's cupcake to hand back to her with a friendly smile. "Sabel Dakest, honestly. But Genevieve is right, Auror. Not ex-convict." She wouldn't cram the icing topped desert in his face in horrible disappointment, right? "Just thought I'd see what type of reaction I could get."

And it wasn't a good one. Not in his books. Genevieve got a look for that. Was she worried for her baby lion, because he sure was.
