 *drops him in, with small mentions* ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
It wasn't that Sabel wanted to go up to the head table. In fact, he had tried to think of every reason not to. None of them had been very good though. Hating politicians and not wanting to meet his new boss, so he could continue to deny that Emily wasn't gone, were horrible reasons.
So, he had swallowed as many of his nerves as he could and slowly made it up to the head table. Which, surprisingly, was no less crowded or filled with excitement than the buffet table. It seemed to be quite the night, in all corners of the building.
Catching sight of Alexa near a rather intimidating looking man, Sabel couldn't help but arch an eyebrow. There was some gleaning of agreements, healers and ....the minister? Sabel's head turned about to see the old man settling into his spot. Well, he certainly didn't look like no Borr, and he sounded a great deal more pleasant. Still, all he got from Sabel was a tight lipped smile and respectful, half-nod. He didn't want to go over there. Not. One. Bit.
Plus, he was on a business jaunt. Not a casual one. He wanted to get this over and done with and then get away from this table.
Turning his attention back to his new department head, Sabel stepped up beside Alexa, glancing at her from the corners of his eyes before turning his attention fully to the department head. There was no expression on Sabel's face. Not a single quirk of a smile or frown. He just was. "Mr. Rainey," he extended his hand, "Sabel Dakest. I just wanted," not, "to stop by and welcome you to the MLE."
