His thoughts were quickly distracted by the words that came out of her mouth. An eyebrow rose. He looked like he ... took care of himself? At this point he couldn't help but smirk a bit as she fumbled on. If only she knew that he were married and had four children. The blond was just going to play it cool and let her do her thing until it was appropriate for him to interject.

"Seems just fine to me. Do you ... would you like to sit down?" he asked her, assuming that she was still rather frazzled. He then added, "Nice to meet you, Ilse. Frankie Paton. Auror. Welcome to th--"

Isle's next set of words made him blink. Looking at her facial expression and the direction she was looking cause him to look toward the floor, and he too joined her in the confusion. Smoke? Footprints going all over the place? Was all of that supposed to be there? The latter seemed extra suspicious to him. "Sorry, but I should investigate that," he said to her. She was welcome to follow him, but she had better move quickly. Frankie was already stepping toward the floos, wand out and nonverbal revealing charms being casted.
Ilse realized she was still clutching him, which only added to her embarrassment, and hastily let go. When he asked if she wanted to sit down, she shook her head no. The last thing she needed was for the Minister to catch her sitting down again. When he said he was an Auror, her eyebrows raised a bit. ”An Auror? Impressive. I suppose if I was going to fall on anyone, best it was you then?” she said with a less-mortified smile.

When he turned to look at what she was seeing and said he needed to go investigate, she nodded her head. She told herself she probably shouldn’t go, that it could be something dangerous, but her need to know and her curiosity got the better of her. She took off her mask so she could see better and pulled her wand out of the holster on her shin, underneath the several layers of full-length dress. With her non-wand hand, she clutched the mask and pulled her dress up to assist with walking and followed after Frankie toward the floos...

It's the way I've watched you change me from a boy into a man.

It's a million things about you, and I don't know what it is. I have never known a love like this.
