Gabriel started poking his head into the cubicles as he wandered, looking for one of the Real Aurors. Y'know, not a YATI. Somebody he could pester with questions pre-morning caffeine. Not that he was pre-coffee, he'd had a cup at home and picked up another on his way in. Lots of caffeine for Gabriel. He was ready to ask questions.

Regretfully (thankfully? maybe thankfully, what with the horde of kids to look after and all) Jake was an Auror no longer. Still had plenty of business in and around the Auror office, of course, and though it made more sense to send memos for people to come to him when they were available (unpredictability of the job and all), Jake had come to find that sitting in his office or meetings all the time was... terrible. Really just terrible. 2/10, would start climbing the walls if he had to spend yet another consecutive day stuck behind a desk.

But he was sure he'd get used to it, especially as it was well worth the salary, which was what Jake and the horde had sorely needed. Jonah and Jackson had a big birthday coming up (eleven... already Jake was thinking of writing to Malachi Trent with the heads up that he had two more Upsteads headed his way) and he was looking forward to splashing out on them a bit more than usual, as he and Becca had on the quads and planned to do with the eldest three when their birthdays rolled around. Hopefully, that trend could continue for a while. Maybe they'd even be able to save, hold some galleons back just in case, but that was probably asking a lot.

Passing through the work areas - it was a no-go on finding who he was looking for, which was not totally unexpected - he happened across one of the YATIs. Hopefully not snooping; bad idea around these parts. "Gabriel," Jake said by way of greeting, coming to a stop nearby. "Looking for anything in particular?" Or anyone? They could absolutely find him something to do, if necessary.
