So...there was this lady glaring at her....and she didn't know why. Hadn't even been 10 good minutes at the table yet, quite impossible to already be getting on people's nerves but apparently not?

Lex made a face at the woman, positive she didn't fall under her command, "What?" Yeah, what? It couldn't have been something she said considering she hadn't even said a word to her so....what?

Maybe her name would ring a bell once he got an earful of it.

While speaking, he had pulled the cane from the back of his wheelchair and hoisted himself up to hobble over to the prestigious seat someone had arranged for him. And he left the wheelchair behind it.
Heeeyyyy, the new official 'Big Man' had rolled in--literally. You think Alice would be here for her grandfather's first legit night in office but apparently not. Shame too, she'd have liked the food and they could have snuck off and accidentally gotten lost on Level 9 or something.

"Hey Mr. Clarke!" She said with a grin and a wave. "I'll only be a floor away now, so you know and I'm technically sorta...kinda...in some way a body guard so if you ever feel like the stuffy old hats on Level 1 are trying to out you, you should send me a patronus." There was no shame in selling your services to the Minister of Magic when you'd had food at his table a couple times before his granddaughter moved out. It was completely allowed.

Did she start working at the Ministry!? AUROR!?! WHY!!?! He blinked at her then moved his attention forward...How was he supposed to grab his Boss' attention. Not like Alexa, no.... "Um...uh." Right that was him yeah?

Maybe this was poor timing on his part. Yeah, yeah! Probably better to just come back to him later. Besides how could he possibly top Alexa
besides he can just see the guy when he starts his first day. It'll be a lot more fun to see if he can spot any of his former classmates instead

No no he could totally talk to the guy while the poor man's hand was throbbing in pain! Do it Oakey don't back down! "H-Hello!"

NO STUPID TOO LOUD! "Gah, I mean Hello..." Seriously too quiet now!? "...I'm Oakey..." LAST NAME! "...Gunter! just thought I'd stop by to introduce myself." He nodded quickly "Accidents and Catastrophes' Curse Removal Specialist." Was that part truly necessary?
Oh wait, wasn't that Oakey right there?!

Fancy that, Oakey Gunter was working in the Ministry too? How many other people that left Hogwarts ended up here? See, this is why Cassia should have applied...even if she couldn't think of a Department she wouldn't hate having to show up to every day. It was a hard life when you weren't sure you were going to be a kick butt Auror one day.

"Merlin Oakey, calm down, they're just people." All that nerves and stuttering stuff was weird and reminded her of what Daichi was doing too--because yeah she could hear him.

"And I didn't know you worked here. What Department?"

SPOILER!!: Rainey

He wouldn't be complaining. It really was a good evening.

And just when he thought the evening was good enough, it just got better. The lady had guts. She was hilarious, but she had guts.

Rainey chuckled, showing teeth in doing so. Truly funny.

"Cambridge did you say?" he mused, wondering whether or not to commit the name to memory. He supposed he did know who worked for him, to some extent. At least he wasn't about to forget the face. "How about I make yer a deal?" he offered, leaning forward a smidgen and lacing his fingers together, hands on table. "I'll see to it that you get the promotion you deserve, at the conclusion of your training of course, if you successfully manage and complete a series of challenges that I will personally set for you?"

Note that he didn't say how many, nor did he say of what nature... but the opportunity was legitimate in every other way.


Hang on, what? Lex didn't remember offering to get him a drink, though nothing on her face gave away this sudden 'whut??' moment because hello he was the boss and she was here to impress. You couldn't impress by objecting; fact of life so yeah, Lex took his goblet while waiting for the other guy to give a response.

"Yup, Cambridge, Alexa Cambridge. I go by Lex too, figure that'll be easier to remember. Three letters and it just rolls off the tongue. Here, see: Lex, I need you to haul in a criminal for me; Lex, I need you out in the field today; Lex it's time for your promotion, I want you running my squad because you're skills are brilliant."

See what she just did there? How easily the 'Lex' came? He would get the hang of it soon enough.

At his proposal her mouth fell open and her eyes widened notable. Challenges...? Promotion...? sifguisegfisugf!! "Legit? You mean it? No yanking me around the Quidditch pitch?" Because as she'd just learned, MLE-ers were liars just to get a reaction. Although if he had to yank her around the pitch for the challenge...she would tough it out...."Deal! Absolutely! Prepare to be mind blown."

SPOILER!!: Aron

Hey, she was offering to bring him a new drink. Two fwoopers with one stone as far as he was concerned.


Lex paused, just after grabbing his goblet. A Healer....?

...

........

"I don't even know where the bathroom is, how d'you reckon I'll find a Healer? And anyway it's a party, no one came here to work so I think they'd all lie if I asked for a Healer." They'd all been lying to her all night anyway, what was one more lie in the end?

"But I can help! I'm brilliant help, just tell me what you need!" BEAM.
