There was a time Jake might have missed the guilt on Gabriel's face, took long enough to try and place it that it was gone before he could get there. A long time in this department had remedied that somewhat, but even though he noticed it, he thought little of it.
"Could all be out on jobs at the moment. With the fallout of everything, trouble keeps springing up." Neo-Alliance stuff. Not even actual Neo-Alliance members or sympathisers necessarily, but wannabes and pretenders, and occasionally arguments about such sensitive matters getting out of hand and escalating into dangerous duels. And more claims and reports of so-and-so's neighbour being 'part of that Rosier lot' than Jake would have known what to do with, if he was still out of the field. Everything needed addressing with the same attention to detail as usual, and the Law Enforcement team was playing a blinder. "Or they're just grabbing food."
Jake was meant to jest that Melo could come help sort through his paperwork with him - urgent, important, and productive, if not exactly what he was in training for - when the patronus appeared. He didn't even need to think, drew his wand at once and beckoned for the YATI to follow him, already on the way out. "Let's go." The shadowing could wait. Or maybe this would be it, though Jake was no longer an Auror. Call it on-the-job experience.
