Jasper had never been so relieved to have a low-key orientation this year. After spending the holidays traveling around Europe with Benjamin, all he could have asked for was a relaxed brunch to ease back into the workweek. That, along with a strong cup of coffee.

Clad in a new plum-colored suit (which had just arrived in a parcel from Chicago, courtesy of his mother), Jasper made his way into the Atrium. Was he slightly overdressed for the occasion? Possibly. But he didn't know when he'd get another chance to wear it, so a purple suit it was. He stopped momentarily at the fountain, taking in the view. It was a sure sign that things at the Ministry were on the mend.

He noticed quite a few familiar faces milling around the area, but the grumbling in his stomach stopped him from waving hello quite yet. Instead, he jumped in line at the breakfast station, arriving just in time to overhear a new co-worker's (Gunnar) introduction. "Gentlemen," Jasper greeted the Minister and Conley first (you know, seniority rules and all that) before grabbing a plate of waffles. Although it was a bit odd to be served by the big guys. "Didn't know you had such a knack for the pancake arts, Charles," he added, chuckling at the smiley face cakes on the table.

Jasper made his way to the toppings station before turning back to his new colleague. "Gunnar, was it? Jasper Cohen, Creatures as well. Glad to have you on the team." He nodded at the man's guest in greeting as well as he spooned some berries onto his waffle. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed their department head (Aurora) at the smoothie station. He gave her a wave with one hand as he finished scooping a dollop of whipped cream with the other. "I'll come over to your station eventually...as soon as this first sugar rush passes," Jasper called over to his boss with a laugh, gesturing to his stack of fruity waffles.
