Text Cut: Nero and Sachin

Extending a hand to Sachin, there was a slight creak of his dragonhide gloves. "And what is it that you are the ambassador of?" Having not taken the time to snoop through the ministries employee files yet, he would have to resort to getting to know his coworkers in person.

Wasn’t that more of a Muggle thing? The Ambassador was slightly baffled.

The grin that lit up his face could not be stopped. After all that time of concealing their relationship… Merlin, it felt good to acknowledge it in public with not a care about any repercussions. “Sure, I’ll have another,’’ he told Conley. His husband needed no reminder that he didn’t favour alcoholic drinks.

His attention focused back to Nykto. “Likewise.’’ Sachin shook the offered hand. “British Ambassador to India.’’ But there was a level of curiosity he was feeling and there was one question he wanted to know the answer to. “Do you always walk around with a magnifying glass, Doctor?”

Conley’s path to the drinks table was filled with polite hellos and how-do-you-dos. When he finally reached the table, he realized he never asked the Doctor if he would have liked a non-alcoholic drink. To remedy this, he maneuvered two ginger ales close to a cocktail and after topping one of the ginger ales with a cookie for Sachin, with the triangle method he picked up the drinks and began his dancing weave back towards Sachin.

He made it back in time to hear Sachin ask about the magnifying glass. Good question! Leave it to Sachin to find a way to ask about it in a way that came off as curious and not intrusive. The cookie covered drink was at the tip of the triangle and he held it out to Sachin. ”Doctor,” Merlin, that seemed funny to say. ”Ginger ale? Or cocktail?” he held out the other two glasses for the doctor to choose. ”Are you a botanist?”
