Perhaps he was better off working in a muggle bar on the other side of the earth. He was certainly happier there.

He was thankful, however, for the look Amelia gave him. He gave her that rarely seen smile, weak as it was. Being laughed at by an attractive older woman was definitely something he needed to erase from his memory. He could think of a few ways to do this. One way in particular being preferable to the others.
Amelia chuckled, "Please don't worry about it," relieved to see Nathan's smile back on his face.

"I thought it would be better to get to know you lot, before you knew who I was...of course I would have preferred to tell you myself, I probably wouldn't have until mission time," Nicoli smiled at Amelia and Nathan.

"You should know that we are a team." he said seriously, "I have confidence in both of you-despite how prepared you were for today-" Nicoli smiled at Nathan, "and that I will always consider both of your views before making my decisions." Should talk to Forrester, soon. "It seems like we've got our first assignment, too!" he said motioning to the young Auror.
Amelia knew this was going to be a great place to work. Back in the Italian Ministry, it was too formal, no freedom, no confidence. He boss was her boss and nothing else. Here, it seemed to be the complete opposite. Relaxed, valued, know that they were going to work their damned hardest and get results. And she had a sneaking suspicion that they were going to be friends as well as work colleagues.

Rubbing her hands together, it sounded like they were onto their first assignment.

"What do you need us to do sir ..er.." 'Dammit', "...I mean Nicoli?" This was all so new to him. So different from working in the relaxed, social environment of a Irish muggle pub. He’d just have to go with the flow on this one, and prey he didn’t collapse before the end of the day.
Amelia smiled at Nathan, hoping he would relax into the role and not worry about what other people thought. He did seem pretty nervous, but from her experience from see her father's colleagues in the muggle Police, she knew that he was probably going to be the most productive member of the office. He seemed more of a people person than pleasing the powers that be and that suited her fine.
