Not that his brain was any better than someone else's, but it was a pretty good brain.

That's what his Ma had told him yesterday.

But um, he completely missed the sight of Tomasz literally running late. He did react, however, when he heard a voice and an arm appeared as the doors were closing, and also reached out to keep the lift from leaving. Ah! Tomasz! Gabriel did not know the fellow well, but he seemed nice enough. "Yes, lots of room," he said with a friendly smile. He gestured at the otherwise empty lift. "Hello, it's Tomasz, yes?"

"Level two?"

It seemed silly to ask his colleague this, but who knew? The man was in ministry security, maybe he needed to stop off sooner to...secure something.
Tomasz bowed his head graciously in a show of thanks, before stepping inside, moving to the opposite corner of the lift to allow for space between himself and Gabriel. Though hierarchy did not exist in a explicit sense in regard to those serving within the department, Tomasz knew that his place as a security guard was lower than the station of an auror, even one in training. It was difficult not to be conscious of such things when sharing a space and as such, he held his head a little lower, kept his shoulders a little more hunched, and practiced a visible sort of humility around others in the Ministry.

He was not here because of any credentials that set him apart. He knew to keep this in mind and respect the authority of others.

"Yyy, yes," he nodded, answering both of Gabriel's questions at once. Names were not his strong suit, but Tomasz pushed himself to memorize as many as he could, especially the names of those in his department. He did not want to look incapable of such small a thing. Being able to identify individuals was a task he was meant to excel in as a security officer, so he did exert himself in this regard - but still, it did not always come to him so naturally. Uncertain of what to say, but feeling slightly uncomfortable with the silence, Tomasz spoke as he waited for the lift to take off, "The weather today is good."
