Otherwise, I'm certain you have more important things to do." In other words - as Raini was meaning to say it politely - help or leave. It was a good thing that he was unaware of the other man's thoughts as he'd think it quite unbecoming of a department head to treat this matter as free entertainment.

Conley couldn’t help but think that if Airey wanted the help, he would have asked. Nor was he, unlike some others, surprised when someone else joined him in watching. It was human nature after all, to be curious and to want to watch. Muggles watched construction crews and delimitation crews all the time. People stopped to watch accidents (and their clean ups). It was human nature to be curious – and that human nature include wizards and witches did it not? Still, he should probably help out or move on. He was still trying to decide what to do when he was joined by someone. ”Ahh…Monsieur Pendragon.” The greeting was accompanied by a smile and Conley accepting the offering of the crip. ”America has some very weird things. Biscuits are one. They aren’t sweet and they often cover them in gravy.” He ate the chip, chewing quietly.

Eyes back on his artefacts, the department head unwrapped a broach that may prove of some use. "If I can pin this to the material somewhere, it may produce a certain kind of lethargic effect on the tapestry to render it more docile," he explained to Raini with a healthy dose of skepticism. And if Pendragon was going to cast...that may prove the perfect distraction.

Conley raised his teacup in salute to Ms. Tomás in a return greeting. Then he took a long drink, finishing off his tea. A moment later he tapped his cup with his wand and sent it up to his desk in his office. ”Duty calls Monsieur Pendragon. I suggest you either help or skedaddle as well.” Then waving his wand in front of himself to toss up a protection spell (they were dealing with unknown and likely dark magic after all) he wandered forward.

He was tucking his wand behind his ear as he stepped up besides Airey. ”So,” he said eying up the tapestry. ”What can I do to help?” He might have a background in Dark Magic Artifacts, but it has been over 20 years since he’d really had to use those skills. Still he knew enough to remember Rule Number 1: be careful what you touch.
