No worries, Isaek. There was still plenty of time to get to know him. There were always experiences from the Department during his younger years that could be shared. Brody took the contract, though he didn’t start reading it just yet; Isaek was offering some key information, after all. The increased pay would be helpful since he and Gabe were about to begin the adoption process for their second child. As for the assignment, Brody couldn’t help the tiny grin that graced his face. It would be great working with Jerald again. “Jerald and I have worked well together in the past. I’m sure that we can do that again.” So yes, this change would be easier having a friend to help. Plus it gave him a chance to apply his skill at the German language, which he had only perfected about two years ago. “Yes, I do. Do you see any areas that I need to improve on?” Anything at all, be it him falling back on his communication skills or him slacking on the job for whatever reason.

While Isaek pondered on the question, Brody lowered his gaze to the contract and began his meticulous read.

When it came to being a Department Head, there were many heads one had to keep track of. Figurative and literally. In addition to solving any dilemmas and disputes. A bigger challenge came when you were the new Head on the block. He had more experience, yes, but familiarity of the environment was something he had to adapt to. Months later, Isaek would say that he had done so if anyone asked them directly.

"Excellent," Isaek knew he nailed it by having the right colleagues work together again. His brief contact with Jerald to prep them for the situation was promising and pleasing to confirm that Jerald wasn't just being diplomatic over how well he and Brody connected. Having close connections was key, he thought while he observed Brody overlooking the document. "Be sure to write all the languages you're fluent in within the box below your signature." As another note, so he could have it updated overtime when needed. He was then asked how they could improve.

"Good question." Isaek commented for a moment. "From what I've observed, you're prompt and direct, which credits your reliability. I would say continue that but most importantly, keep your current connections formed and be open to any criticism and new connections." Stuff he was already familiar with, now for the criticism. "From this note, it's apparent that you were owed this new position for some time. My suggestion for you on what to improve on is not to overlook your accomplishments. You're a humble individual, which is great for diplomacy, but you could improve on how soon you take action." Now for the serious note. "Suffice to say, just because you were owed this position, didn't guarantee that I would've accepted your request. When you came into this office and presented your achievements and reasoning, that's when I knew you deserved it. An Ambassador with enough experience is as direct and clear with their ambition as you've shown. I encourage you to continue that, and you will go far... not just literally." Mini humour there, forgive him.

After letting all the information sink in, Isaek patiently waited as they continued overlooking the document. Waiting until there was a pause with them "Was there anything else?" Anything he wanted to ask, clarify something in the document, borrow his broom? The latter he might have a firmer reply to. Ahem.
