Maybe most of the employees were hiding out in the lodge where they weren’t likely to break their necks. ”We just may need to get…comfortable with each other.”That was always how his mother had put it when people had to mush together.

Conley felt the lift jostle and jiggle a little as the four climbed on. “Nice to meet you, Simon.” If his hands hadn’t been clad in snow gloves and if ski poles hadn’t been dangling from his wrists, Conley would have shook the man’s hand. However, this strange event of an orientation didn’t really allow for the traditional methods of introductions and interactions. So, when in Rome….Conley sort of waved/saluted at Simon.

As the lift took off, the man asked him about his name. ”Aye,” he nodded in response to his name. ”I do hope my reputation hasn’t proceeded me,” he joked. In his experience, there was nothing worse than having to compete with a pre-conceived notion that people had about someone.

You look grown up when I left you guys in Hogwarts this small," he said leveling his hand with his waist. "HOW is everyone? Zhenya? Teddy? Tell me all the things!" The former Slytherin said excitedly, totally forgetting that he will likely bump into old friends and acquaintances he'd left when he graduated from good old Hoggies. And just when they were getting into a good conversation, Ava had to lightly ruffle his ego. "Hey Burton, I'm not that bad you know. Quite unexpected, but yes, I do work for the Ministry now...fighting real baddies if you know what I mean." Ethan was, as his usual, talking a hundred miles per second. "Living my dream as our community's living and breathing Sherlock Holmes." he continued, giving her a playful wink. "You though. YATI now I see." Ethan said nodding in approval. Of course he knew about it. It was an MLE thing.

Just how cool is this place, yeah? Somebody spoke his language, snowboarding wise! Ethan turned and gave the man a 'sup nod and his mega-watt smile. "Powder is looking good up there. Quite fresh I suppose since it's early...and I haven't seen much people go downhill with their skis yet, so it's promising." People were wasting a good opportunity here. All skiers and snowboarders hunt for fresh snow since it offers the best surface to glide on. The fair-haired Mordaunt glanced at the person the guy addressed and gave him a 'sup nod too.

"Hallo," Ethan smiled at Simon and glanced back at the other man in their presence. He kept his mouth shut until they were on the lift, but when Simon inquired or confirmed who the man is, Ethan barked a laugh. "Go easy on him Simon. He's new." And they had been screened prior to admission so he was all good. "Nice to meet you, Conley. I'm Ethan, from Magical Law Enforcement." he then looked at Ava, who sat beside him and gave her a side nudge.

"They are great. I live with Zhenny now, and she's very busy with the healing and midwifery stuffs.... And Teddy is currently working to start his business or something." The former Gryffindor gave a briefly update about her family. "I mean.... I do know you're quite smart to be in Ministry, let alone MLE but I thought you're going to be.. you know, a private investigator or stuff." She knew this guy was just like her twin, so obsessed with Sherlock Holmes and solving mysteries. "And yes, I'm a YATI now!" Cue a beaming smile.

Ava gave a polite smile to both Simon and Conley. "Oh, okay then. I don't really mind with that." She nodded in agreement. Those gentlemen didn't seem mind to share the lift and yes, it did look huge enough for all of them. She rarely went skiing and she only knew how lift usually fit like 2-3 people. "Oh, nice to meet you sir. I'm Ava Burton, first year Auror Trainee."

Comfortable with each other was the truth but thankfully not too on top of one another. And the one female in the group didn’t seem bothered. Simon returned the semi-awkward wave that he believed was directed at him from the department head before listening to the commentary on the snow from the one person who’d already been out in it. Looks like the event planners had picked a good day for the retreat or else mother nature had been magically helped along.

“Shuuu…you’ll ruin my reputation,” he remarked to Ethan all serious-like to his coworkers before chuckling and clarifying to Conley. “You’re safe…” As long as he didn’t turn out to be something he currently didn’t appear to be. Not that he was giving off those types of vibes right at the moment. “It’s just kinda my job to know people as head of security.” So it wasn't just some random ministry person who just put two and two together.

Oh look...the young woman would be joining him and Ethan in MLE. Simon recalled notice of more YATIs on their way into the program he himself had graduated from many moons ago. "Welcome Ava..."
