Speaking of pluses, at his side was his wife. Feeling the good vibes over the past few months and positive that this orientation of sorts was going to be nothing like the previous year's, the Auror wanted her to be there. They needed a little break from the kids, who had been whisked away to their grandmother, and enjoy breakfast with actual adults.

"Waffles or pancakes?" he asked her the moment they arrived. The smell of the place was already making his mouth water, and his stomach that already had been rumbling was on hyperdrive right now. He already know what he wanted, which, naturally, was a little bit of everything. The blond was most certainly going to have to hit up the exercise room on his level later to make up for it.
When the New Year rolled around, there was two things to be expected. Their youngest birthday. And the Ministry orientation gathers that her husband attended each year. Hady was always Frankie's plus one expect for last when he didn't want her to attend. That wasn't important right now though. What was important was that they were here.

"I don't even know why you're asking me that when we both know full well that you're going to hit every single table and food cart here," the brunette laughed. Her tone was light and her hazel eyes held a playfulness that it was clear she was teasing him like she always did. However, it was true and they both knew it. "Go on.. make your way from table to table and I will follow and get whatever looks good." Maybe a waffle and a smoothie? Or a muffin. It was hard to decide when it all looked really good.

"Whatever I don't finish you can have."

This may have been his second year working at the minisry but this felt like his first orientation. Right away when he stepped into the room, Oceanus could feel the immediate difference in the atmosphere from the previous year. It felt really nice to not have a mask on his face and name tag pinned to his clothes.

He looked around at the room full of people, the scent of food hitting him like a ton of bricks and making him realize how hungry he was. "Do you want to eat first or say hi to everyone? Or maybe make a mug for the babies?" he asked quietly, gently squeezing the hand of his girlfriend Stella who was his plus one and also a Ministry worker. Whatever she wanted to do first was okay with him.

Iliana was here for the second year in a row but for the this year she felt much more comfortable. No weird mask or name tags status categorizing. Her first year on the job had been a strange one but it was over and she was now onto her second year.

The young women had changed a fair bit over the last several months as she's sure most everyone in this room had. Iliana had even brought a plus one with her, Nathan Hale. After conversing with him for a moment they choose to head towards the pancake station. Perhaps there was a vegetarian option?
