Whatever...he would just do his job from now on and try to ignore things that made him out to be the bad guy.
And hope he didn't get flack for doing that. It almost seemed like he could never win on either side.
He inwardly groaned as Jax told them...meaning him and LEGEND to continue to stay and watch DeTalone. It wasn't the task he was unhappy about, but the partner. Why couldn't Emily stay, or he continue alone? The YATI had been working fine and doing everything right until Legend showed up to supposedly help him. Simon bit back a sigh and resumed his former post, staying quiet and neutral even as Emily glared at the two of them before leaving with the head auror.
Just do your job, Bennett, he reminded himself as he worked as guard.
However when Dorian entered the viewing area with an unfamiliar woman, Simon perked up a little. Even if it was to show that he was still on guard and completely alert of the situation and environment surrounding him, which he was. He stayed quiet, giving the division head the first speak but it became clear it was for the other case that the duo had come into the area as they stayed to themsleves...the quarantined people not too far away. Which of course reminded him of Kyle and caused an unconscious quiet sigh to escape him.

With Dorian naturally stepping in front of her to protect her like how he was trained. It had she admitted in the privacy of her head been nice to let Dorian do that. If Wesley hadn’t acted as swiftly as he had then Tasha would have pulled her weight to aid the other people with the two drooling ministry workers. Shuddering at the memory of the wands being eaten up by actual people Tasha said quietly. "I hope the wands that the um ‘drooling’ people ate up didn’t belong to anyone."
She held onto Dorian’s hand as they walked down the corridor and into the viewing room with a big glass wall. Not pulling her hand out of his she murmured quietly. "Staying safe is good." As a thought came to her she breathed out a little wide-eyed as she pulled her hand free to walk closer to the mirror. "Izzy could start eating wood too since she is infected too. But Wesley said she wasn't bad off. So she shouldn’t do that---"Or could she? Tasha didn't want to see her sister eat wood it would be an upsetting sight she was sure.
Focusing her mind on the twins she asked Dorian. "Any idea what we will see when the mirror is activated?" Tasha gazed around the room spotting a man (Simon) on the other side of the room. He looked like he was on guard. Tasha shot him a small smile before she turned back to Dorian and the black mirror. Was this an unsafe room?

That had been the entire reason for her to avoid the whole zombie situation in the first place. But now she was right in the thick of it. And having to deal with getting her own co-prosecutor down here so that she could put him in quarantine. Not her idea of a good time. And who was going to help her if he got out of hand? She wasn't near enough trusting any of the newbies for her to ask for their help, Aron was otherwise occupied and she didn't want Wes to think she couldn't handle it. It was a conundrum, that was for sure.
She was wrapped up in trying to figure this out that she hadn't even noticed Dorian in the hallway until she had quite literally ran into him. She jumped back quickly into the wall, hitting her head hard while she was at it. "Excuse me," she muttered, rubbing the side of her head and not looking up. Just speaking had been enough to make her head hurt worse and to make her dizzy, so she figured it was probably not a good idea.
A bit surprised by Natasha taking his hand as they had headed out of the reception area toward the viewing corridor, Dorian had stayed quiet for possibly longer than expected. He had more expected that she would let him take her arm again, so the hand-holding had thrown him. Even if it was simply areaction to all the infux of information about Isobel and then the visual evidence provided by the zombies who had been in reception. It was a lot to take in, so it very well might not have been caused by their date. Which Wes still hadn't commented on, if he had figured it out, and Dorian fully expected there to be something happening later, maybe after this situation was resolved. "I can tell you the wands were not something I recalled ever seeing before," he finally responded honestly, "So it's likely they didn't belong to anyone in particular." Unless they had belonged to the zombies themselves, as he imagined those were being confiscated once said zombies ended up here in quarantine even though reports were that they weren't working correctly for them anyhow. That would have been a complication.
He had barely noticed Simon standing on guard in the viewing area when they had entered, and then his attention had gone back to his companion as she had spoken yet again. The first comment had gotten a nod, and then the sympathy set in yet again at her follow-up thought. "We'll figure out how to keep Isobel from eating wood. I'm certain that Wes is just as determined on doing that as everyoneelse is, if not more. I would guess these have been under the affliction longer, anyhow," he replied, gazing at the mirror again as she had asked about it. "Unfortunately, I don't know," he answered, frowning slightly before she had noticed Simon as well and his attention moved to the YATI.
"Bennett," he greeted the young man with a nod. "Have you met Natasha? Isobel's sister and a fellow Ministry employee." He turned to Natasha, then. At least this could be a slight distraction as they waited for the mirror to be fully activated. Not to mention it meant there was one more MLE employee there, so that made them even safer, whether or not Simon was there to guard de Talone or the quarantined employees. But then, the distraction proved to be unnecessary as the next thing that happened had forced him to step back half a step. Having probably the last person they wanted in the small room collide with him, but he managed to avoid pulling Natasha off balance as well before his grey eyes shifted to Roxanne.
"Are you alright?," he asked, simply out of concern as she had continued rubbing her head, indicating that he hadn't been the only thing she had collided with. There was no reason not to have professional concern for a fellow employee, even if she had been shooting metaphorical daggers at him what seemed like only minutes before.

Noticing the look and smile in his direction, Simon knew he had been spotted despite keeping a low profile. He gave her a silent nod in response and was prepared to leave it at that. However when Dorian spoke up acknowledging his presence as well as draw him into the fold of the group. Let Legend handle De Talone for just a moment seeing as he was supposed to be guarding the woman as well. One locked up witch without her wand was fine with two watchers.
"No, I can't say I have," he replied with a nod, though her willing connection to Isobel meant she was good people."Nice to meet you, Natasha. And technically its Simon." While members of the department tended to call and respond to their last names, he wasn't one to use it as his own introduction. Before he could say anything further or Dorian and Natasha could responded the trio was joined by another coming from the quarantine room...someone he did recognize as a co-worker as she bumped into the division head. The YATI unable to keep from inwardly wincing in concern as she reacted and hit her head yet Dorian was already asking if she was okay.

Was she okay? "I don't know, depends. Is it just me or is the room spinning?" Roxanne asked, not even bothering to injecting venom into her voice, still not quite able to tell who exactly she'd run into. If it was just her than she was definitely not okay. And why did the person who'd asked the question sound like the intercom box at a fast food place, mumbly and buzzy and faded? "Why do you sound like you're speaking through an intercom?" And she couldn't tell, but her own voice was coming out kind of mushmouthy. Okay, she was most definitely not okay. Not even close. And if she didn't sit down soon, her legs were going to give out on her. Stupid wall. Why did it have to be RIGHT THERE and SO HARD? Didn't it realize that people WALK through here?

Tasha shrugged. "That's odd. Maybe they chewed up their own wands?" she suggested as a plausible explanation. But she honestly had no idea and it was Dorian’s job to investigate weirdness not hers. She hadn’t exactly been aware of the fact that she had grabbed his hand rather than locking arm’s with him on the little walk over from the reception area. Tasha had been too focused to trying to grasp all the information about her sister’s current condition and then those zombies infected people had showed up in front of her and had eaten wood and just for lack of better word acted strangely. Glancing sideways at Dorian she felt a little reassured and blinked. "Good, because Isobel won’t be very pleased to hear when she’s been cured that she chewed up her wand and has to order a new one from Ollivander’s." Sighing Tasha eyed the dark mirror once more. "I just want to see Isobel before I go and pick up the twins." Was it too much to ask?
Glad for the distraction Tasha focused her attention on the Yati. "I'm pleased to meet you too Simon." She chirped with a smile. She didn’t have time to say or ask anything else before the last person she expected to see collided with Dorian. Roxanne looked unwell. Re-gaining her balance after almost being knocked by Dorian, Tasha studied the other woman “Are you feeling all right Roxanne?" taking a step towards the other woman she tried to catch her eye. "What’s an intercom and why does it sound like we are talking through one?" she asked cocking her head sideways? Had Roxanne knocked her head or gotten the flu and that was why she was saying strange things?
I suck. :( - Tasha, Roxanne and Simon. Not quoting, but you all know you're here. xD

Natasha's suggestion about the wands actually received a bit of a curious look from Dorian once she had made it. of course, it wasn't a crazy idea. He had had it himself, but he fact she had come to the same conclusion that he had was the odd part. He didn't think Lorelai's feather gave her access to his thoughts after all, so after that brief moment he concluded it was a coincidence. "Possibly. I doubt we would have displayed the confiscated wands out in reception, however. I would imagine they are locked up either in evidence or in Wes's office," he replied. Logically, that made more sense, although it still would have been ironic if the infected employees had essentially destroyed their own property. Ironic, yet still rather tragic, especially if one of those that had been chewed had been Isobel's. "I'm sure that Wes will make sure that her belongings are specially taken care of, anyway, and hopefully you can see her soon," he added reassuringly, glancing at the dark glass that still hadn't been activated yet. Something had to be going on on the other side that was stalling the charm being activated.
At least Simon had provided a momentary distraction, and the name correction had gotten a wry smile out of the division head. He hadn't specifically introduced the younger man as anything otherwise, of course. Just referred to him the way most others in the office had, conversationally, and any statement to clarify was superseded by Roxanne and the collision. Thankfully, it appeared Natasha hadn't been affected too much by the step back he'd been forced to take to keep his balance. He kept hold of her hand for another moment until he was certain she had regained her own balance, however, before finally letting go to attend to the Wizengamot prosecutor. Things might have been beyond awkward with the woman, but she was still his co-worker, and he wasn't completely devoid of concern.
Natasha had stepped in to ask about her well-being, however, so he stood back to keep an eye on the encounter until both women had spoken again. "It's a Muggle device, similar to two-way radios and the like," he had responded, before his attention went back to Roxanne again. "I can assure you that the room isn't spinning," to his knowledge, and neither of them had found an intercom to use. That could have been useful to let Wes know to activate the mirror, though. That would be one thing less to be concerned about, and he conjured a chair behind her once he'd finished speaking. "Why don't you sit down for a bit?," he suggested. Clear her head. Obviously it had gotten jarred after she'd ran into him, and he turned his grey eyes to Simon and Natasha again seconds before he noticed the mirror flicker clear.
Finally one thing was going right. "Either of you know any spells to make sure she doesn't have a concussion?," he inquired. Something told him she wasn't about to appreciate him poking around in her head, no matter how concerned the intent was. "It appears we have access to see Isobel, as well," he added, glancing sideways at the glass and the tableau depicted on the other side. Apparently the department head in question must be being questioned or something, as he could see her seated with the Reminisciator that had been working closely with Aron. Slightly blurred, but nothing much seemed amiss. Not on Wes' watch, and the man was stationed in the room as well. Along with a departing Elinor and the several infected employees that had been quarantined and were still acting quite odd.

If Roxanne wasn't all dizzy and stuff, she would be rolling her eyes and shaking her head at the other woman right now. Obviously she wasn't okay! She had knocked her head rather hard against the wall for Merlin's sake! But the woman was welcome to knock her own head against the wall and tell her how she felt afterward. Probably wouldn't feel any different though. After all, you have to have a brain to feel any difference in it.
At least her male companion was smart. Kind too, seeing as he'd conjured up a chair behind her. She kind of flopped back into it, the dizziness she was feeling preventing her from doing anything else for fear that the feeling would compound and cause her to vomit. Once she was properly seated, she got her first actual look at who she had run into. And groaned. Of course she would run into him. Of course. But, he was being nice and helpful now. Which meant that she would have to be nice in return. She wasn't quite sure how she felt about that. On one hand, it would be nice to get along with him again. On the other, she was still hurt. Anyway, it would be something for her to think about once she wasn't dizzy anymore.
"Concussion?" she asked, wincing a little as she did so. It did make sense that that was what was going on though. Ugh, grrreeeaaat.

Room spinning?...Intercom?
Simon was just as clueless as the rest about the mention of intercoms and sounding like they were speaking through them...whatever they were since he couldn't remember at the moment. His attention seemed to be remaining on the topic of the quarantined eating wood that Dorian and Natasha had brought up. He had obviously missed a new development in the illness case while he was busy handling DeTalone in his own job-related task.
The intercom question was brought up by Tasha so he didn't have to voice it on his own. A question that was answered by Dorian, at least in the clarification of just what an intercom was and now he remembered. Still wasn't sure why but if Roxanne really had hurt herself in the collision then it might explain the hearing issue.
"No...unfortunately I do not," he answered with a shake of his head. Concussions were tricky to deal with and not exactly in his repertoire of quick fixes he had thought to learn to be prepared for the field of being an auror.

He had obviously missed a new development in the illness case while he was busy handling DeTalone in his own job-related task.
The intercom question was brought up by Tasha so he didn't have to voice it on his own. A question that was answered by Dorian, at least in the clarification of just what an intercom was and now he remembered. Still wasn't sure why but if Roxanne really had hurt herself in the collision then it might explain the hearing issue.
"No...unfortunately I do not," he answered with a shake of his head. Concussions were tricky to deal with and not exactly in his repertoire of quick fixes he had thought to learn to be prepared for the field of being an auror.
As much as Tasha wanted to see her sister with her own eyes Roxanne had to be the priority at least for the time being. It seemed like Dorian's feisty colleague had hit her head pretty badly and was now showing signs of concussion. Tasha first thought the other woman had the flu or some other common disease but the question about the intercom had ruled that out.
When Roxanne had plopped down on the chair which Dorian had conjured up Tasha stepped in front of her to discern if she indeed had a concussion. Holding up three fingers in front of Roxanne she asked "How many fingers do you see? Do you feel nauseous? Does your head ache?" All were standard questions, that her grandmother, she remembered had asked her when she herself had slammed her head in a tree, when she was 5 years old.
Turning from Roxanne as Dorian said that Isobel was visible Tasha fixed her gaze on her sister and walked up the glass wall. Placing her hand on the glass she murmured "Oooh Izzy." Sniveling as silent tears fell down her face she turned away from the wall. She had seen enough. To Dorian and Simon she said her voice breaking a little."We should take Roxanne to St Mungos.... So she can get her head checked out. And then I need to go and pick up the twins." It was best to keep practical and to do what Wesley counted on her to do. Camping out in the viewing room to be close to Izzy wouldn't help anyone least of all her sister.

Yep, Roxanne no clue on that one either. But then suddenly Dorian's female companion was waving her fingers in her face. It was a gesture she recognized from the muggles as their way to check for concussions and focused her eyes then. It was hard to tell how many fingers she was holding up. Maybe if she stopped moving them? "Um.... four?" And did she feel nauseous? Well, now that she thought about it..... "A little. It comes and goes in waves."And check, too, on the headache. "It hurts where I hit it."
St. Mungos was sounding more and more like a great idea right then.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Conference meeting done with, and silightly more knowledgable on what was going on with the zombie infestation. Saul walked into the Holding cell viewing area and grabbed a seat. He was worried for his friend Dmitri who had barged in on their meeting looking worse than most other zombies, and even more worried of what the Forensics lab would be doing with his now petried friend.
He shook his head at the thought, and focused on the positive. With Dmitri now safe in their department they may be able to find where the infestation started, and cure it once and for all.
Placing his chair down in front of Holding Cell One, Saul saw the De Talone woman inside. If she stayed as quiet as he always did there wasn't going to be any problem gaurding this Witch.

Another day...
Now that the mysterious illness was found and cured and everything involved in it properly dealt with, AND they were back from holiday, the department was allowed to return most of its focus back to a certain time thief. De Talone was still within their custody rather than Azkaban for interrogation and given the notice on the department bulletin board, the aurors were supposed to head over there. So Simon promptly obeyed, easing the door to the holding cells and stepping inside the hallway awaiting what was to come.
"Hey." Amarantha was feeling GROSS. Dirty and tired and grungy and and and... AGING. She had to be at least 20 by now, and it was upsetting her. She wasn't sure why in particular, but today in particular she resented it, and she resented that young Auror standing there not sharing his youth.

Genevieve Branxton's very very first day on the job... and she couldn't find a soul in sight. It seemed the thing to do to check in with boss person type and then get immediately to kicking butts and taking names, but for now, she was stuck wandering in circles looking for someone. Fortunately, she noticed the bulletin board's instruction to come to the holding cells... she sort of fell into that Auror category, right?
And although she was tempted to just peek in and ascertain the situation, Genevieve fully intended to continue on as she started. She swung open the door and strode into the viewing area. So no party in here either, but at least there was a someone. A male someone, only a few years older than her. "Hey." No, lame.

"Hey. I'm thirsty."
It seems his entrance had been noticed by the department's sole prisoner and Simon turned his gaze slightly to keep an eye out on her. "And..." he mused with a tilt of his head almost as if acting like he didn't know what she expected of him. The young man debated giving her something or not but his attention was drawn to the main door once more as it was opened again.

...by a face that seemed out of place YET familiar.
"Hello," Simon greeted with a raised eyebrow as he both tried to place her and wondering why she was there when the one thing he knew was he hadn't seen her in the department before. "Aren't you..." Simon coughed slightly and returned to the more professional question.
"Can I help you? This area isn't open to non-MLers."
It was surreal for Kennedy Escalante to be walking through the halls of the Ministry of Magic. Yet, he it felt right. On the inside Kennedy was all "ooh's" and "ahhh's" as he walked by and on the outside he had his regular cool face.
After checking the bulletin board, Kennedy made his way to the holding cells. He was anxious and excited to be part of the group of Aurors. Granted, he was a YATI but it still had Auror in it...so he belonged here, right?
Entering the viewing area, Kennedy's eyes landed on the woman behind the holding cell. Holly smokes, he's seen her before!
He tore his eyes away from her and greeted the other people there, just noticing them. "Hello..."

The guy got a look. And then a second look. "I know you, don't I? Friends with Selina, and you showed up randomly at my Hogsmeade Irregulars meeting to help look for Mortimer?" Or at least, Selina had said that guy was a YATI, and this guy looked like that guy and her sleuthing skills said... same guy.
"Genevieve Branxton. We weren't properly introduced before, but I am MLE. This is my first day." She offered her hand for a hearty shake.

And there was the former Head Boy strolling through the door, although he... clearly had been distracted all last term if he didn't recognize another member of his graduating class. Then again, Genevieve had only attended one year with him and had spent more of her time with the Ravenclaw seventh years and Kurumi and Selina.
"Hello," she lifted her chin and responded with a lofty tone before turning her attention to the woman behind the glass. "Is that... I've read the stories about her. Can she see us through the glass?" Genevieve reached out to touch the glass with one finger.

Legend had been instructed by Wes to find the new YATI's, and find them he had. It wasn't very hard actually. They were just YATI's. Making his way down the steps with his hands in his pockets, Legend was all grins. "Sup Simon." The man-boy said with a super cool nod, before he turned to face the two new faces. Weren't there suppose to be three of them?
"You know, what I'd like to know-" His eyes flickered between the two. "Is who authorized you two to be down here? Since the last time I checked, we don't have two new Aurors." He paused. The message that had been placed on the noticeboard clearly said Aurors and Wizengamot. These two were neither. "Buuut you guys are two new YATI's so nice to meet you, I'm Legend Chosen.." Once again the blonde grinned. If they didn't already know who he was, they should.

Once again the blonde grinned. If they didn't already know who he was, they should.
Before she answered, another person entered the area, a younger man who seemed to be nearly fresh out of school as well. At least by his overt fascination of their charge over the other two entities in the room, he wasn't too disconnected to the events up at Hogwarts and Hogsmeade that had landed the time thief in Ministry custody.
"Hello," he responded to him before nodding his head at Vivi's words. "Yes, that would be me. Nice to properly meet you again," Simon said accepting her hand and giving it a shake. A look of realization crossed the older YATI's features as the former the young woman explained this was her first day "You must be the newest class of trainees then," he remarked, his gaze passing between the two and then in then followed her gaze to the prisoner.
"Amaranthe de Talone," he confirmed before taking a deep breath to keep from reacting to the oh-so-familiar voice of Chosen. He was doing his best for awhile now to ignore his former classmate's attempts to push his buttons. And he certainly wasn't going to lose his cool in front of the new recruits that replaced him and his best friend as the bottom tier.
"They would indeed be YATIs..." Simon said watchful to see if he was gonna try something on their first day just as he had on his and Josh's. "And I'm Simon...Simon Bennett."

Fresh from her meeting with Wes (and grabbing her briefcase-bag from the office), the newly minted Wizarding Director of Prosecution strode over to the holding cells with a new spring in her step. Only to stop short when she saw Simon shooting the breeze with two people who were obviously new recruits instead of setting up inside. She started moving again once she'd established that what she was seeing was actually what she was seeing and reached the group just as the girl was introducing herself. So, not Emma then. And speaking of other members of the department, just where were her prosecutors and the rest of the Aurors? Really? Was this all that was going to show up? Roxanne barely kept her eyes from rolling in irritation.
Taking a deep breath and slapping a smile on her face, she spoke up. "Hello, everyone. And welcome to the MLE, you two. Roxanne Carter, Wizarding Director of Prosecution at your service. And no, she can't see us through the glass, Ms. Branxton." And now that the two newbies knew all of that...... We'll give everyone else a chance to show up, shall we?" They'd better show up if they knew what was good for them. Otherwise, she'd have to break out the Howlers.
And just as she had that thought, here came Legend. She just shot him a look that clearly said 'behave' but otherwise let the two stand up for themselves. She already had problems with one division head, didn't need more with another.

Kennedy nodded when Simon stated they were the new trainees, though, to be honest, the boy preferred YATI, it sounded waaay cooler. Heh. When Simon was done explaining that this was, indeed, De Talone, he presented himself to both. "I'm Kennedy Escalante."
For a minute there, Kennedy thought Simon was leading this thing because he was here first, and because...well, he just looked the part. Maybe it was because he was a freshy YATI, but those were his thoughts.

...And he really hoped this dude wasn't leading the investigation or whatever. At first he came off a biiiiit too strong for Kennedy. Merlin knows he doesn't do well with those type of people, but he quickly changed his mind when the dude introduced himself, and instead of tensing, he relaxed.
Ha! Legend really got this guy right here.
"Pleasure to meet you, too. Kennedy Escalante," he said, offering the guy his hand for a shake.

Roxanne Carter received a greeting nod from Kennedy. She must of heard his introduction since she came in right after Legend. Kennedy wasn't going to repeat his name, not that he minded saying his name. He loves his name. Like, all proud and stuff, but...yeah.
Green eyes glanced around, stopping to look through the mirror at the woman behind it. He was extremely curious as to what they were going to do with her. He didn't receive any informative report or anything of the kind. And guessing by Genevieve's question, he wasn't the only one with questions. But for now, he'd wait for whomever was yet to arrive.

They had yet another visitor, this one just as young-looking as the first. Was it possible that everyone at the Ministry was under 30? Under 25, even? Genevieve furrowed her brows at this new addition who suggested that they weren't supposed to be there. And then immediately took it back.
What kind of name was Legend? Was that even his real name?
"It's nice to meet you too, Legend Chosen," she responded, a bit blandly. "Would you believe I came down here looking for someone to authorize me, since the office area is totally empty?" He got a head tilt and a little smile at that. "I'm Genevieve Branxton."

"Trainees," Genevieve agreed half-heartedly. And paid like it, too. And probably treated like rubbish. But since she was actually honest-to-goodness here and employed by the Ministry now, she wasn't going to fret a whit about the pay or anyone else's bad attitude.
"De Talone has been here a long time. What do you suppose they'll do with her?"

Oh, whew. It appeared old people worked here too! Ms. Roxanne Carter got herself a head tilt too, and Genevieve clasped her hands behind her back to keep from being fidgety. Might as well attempt to make a good impression on anyone with the word 'director' or 'chief' in their job title. Or maybe on anyone who qualified as her superior...
That was everyone, wasn't it?
"Are you going to interrogate her?" 'Cause that would probably be pretty informative to watch.

Nope, definitely didn't recognize her. She supposed he could be forgiven for that lapse (today), although she did respond to his introduction with a smirk. "I'm aware. Genevieve Branxton."

Checking her watch, Roxanne decided that if anyone was going to show up, they would've by now. Really, she was disappointed in her prosecutor already, seeing as she hadn't bothered to show up for her first assignment. Which meant that....
"Yes, I'm going to interrogate her. With the help of.." Hmm.... now this one was hard. Did she go with the fourth year YATI with the spotless reputation or the full fledged Auror who messes up ever so often? Deciding that patience would be the most useful in explaining what, exactly, was going on to the new YATIs, she made her decision. ".....Legend. And Simon will be sitting in the viewing room with you guys, in case you have any questions about what is going on. Does that sound okay with everyone?" She hoped so, 'cause was ready to get this show rolling. This case had already been delayed for too long, thanks to that stupid Envro Head and his damn zombie making plants.

What were they doing out there? Collecting clouds themselves to rain her up a glass of water? It was... It was outrageous the way she was being mistreated! She would protest to an international body over her treatment. It was positively inhumane.
"HELLO!?!?!" Amarantha pounded on the window, where she was sure they were all staring at her like slack-jawed morons. It wasn't her fault if they were overwhelmed by her vital life force. "I said I want water. I also deserve a change of clothes and a shower, but I'm merely asking for the water. HELLO?!?"

They'd better show up if they knew what was good for them. Otherwise, she'd have to break out the Howlers.
And just as she had that thought, here came Legend. She just shot him a look that clearly said 'behave' but otherwise let the two stand up for themselves. She already had problems with one division head, didn't need more with another.
As he stood there with introductions being passed, Simon wondered just where everyone else was that was supposed to be there. The note had said all aurors and Wizamagot and there was such a limited group there already. However as he was thinking, Roxanne from the latter showed up seemingly taking some charge in the situation. "Of course," he said with a nod in polite agreement. It wasn't as if he was going to go too far without anyone seeing as technically Chosen had had the upper hand as senior auror until the prosecutor had shown.
Even if they both reminded him of each other. Great...just great.
SPOILER!!: Kennedy

He recognized the blonde, though he's never interacted with her. The guy looked somewhat familiar, but he wasn't sure if he's seen him or not.
Kennedy nodded when Simon stated they were the new trainees, though, to be honest, the boy preferred YATI, it sounded waaay cooler. Heh. When Simon was done explaining that this was, indeed, De Talone, he presented himself to both. "I'm Kennedy Escalante."
For a minute there, Kennedy thought Simon was leading this thing because he was here first, and because...well, he just looked the part. Maybe it was because he was a freshy YATI, but those were his thoughts.
...And he really hoped this dude wasn't leading the investigation or whatever. At first he came off a biiiiit too strong for Kennedy. Merlin knows he doesn't do well with those type of people, but he quickly changed his mind when the dude introduced himself, and instead of tensing, he relaxed.
Ha! Legend really got this guy right here.
"Pleasure to meet you, too. Kennedy Escalante," he said, offering the guy his hand for a shake.
Roxanne Carter received a greeting nod from Kennedy. She must of heard his introduction since she came in right after Legend. Kennedy wasn't going to repeat his name, not that he minded saying his name. He loves his name. Like, all proud and stuff, but...yeah.
Green eyes glanced around, stopping to look through the mirror at the woman behind it. He was extremely curious as to what they were going to do with her. He didn't receive any informative report or anything of the kind. And guessing by Genevieve's question, he wasn't the only one with questions. But for now, he'd wait for whomever was yet to arrive.
When the younger man had returned his introduction, Simon inclined his head acknowledging it. He briefly searched his mind for the name trying to remember if they might have ever interacted. Though if he...Kennedy...was starting just after school that meant there was four to five years between them and likely not. He couldn't help but notice the interaction between him and Legend and hoped deep down that Kennedy wasn't going to follow in his co-worker's footsteps in the personality and behavior aspect.
SPOILER!!: Genevieve, Roxanne and de Talone

What kind of name was Legend? Was that even his real name?
"It's nice to meet you too, Legend Chosen," she responded, a bit blandly. "Would you believe I came down here looking for someone to authorize me, since the office area is totally empty?" He got a head tilt and a little smile at that. "I'm Genevieve Branxton."
"Trainees," Genevieve agreed half-heartedly. And paid like it, too. And probably treated like rubbish. But since she was actually honest-to-goodness here and employed by the Ministry now, she wasn't going to fret a whit about the pay or anyone else's bad attitude.
"De Talone has been here a long time. What do you suppose they'll do with her?"
Oh, whew. It appeared old people worked here too! Ms. Roxanne Carter got herself a head tilt too, and Genevieve clasped her hands behind her back to keep from being fidgety. Might as well attempt to make a good impression on anyone with the word 'director' or 'chief' in their job title. Or maybe on anyone who qualified as her superior...
That was everyone, wasn't it?
"Are you going to interrogate her?" 'Cause that would probably be pretty informative to watch.
Nope, definitely didn't recognize her. She supposed he could be forgiven for that lapse (today), although she did respond to his introduction with a smirk. "I'm aware. Genevieve Branxton."

"Yes, I'm going to interrogate her. With the help of.." Hmm.... now this one was hard. Did she go with the fourth year YATI with the spotless reputation or the full fledged Auror who messes up ever so often? Deciding that patience would be the most useful in explaining what, exactly, was going on to the new YATIs, she made her decision. ".....Legend. And Simon will be sitting in the viewing room with you guys, in case you have any questions about what is going on. Does that sound okay with everyone?" She hoped so, 'cause was ready to get this show rolling. This case had already been delayed for too long, thanks to that stupid Envro Head and his damn zombie making plants.

"I said I want water. I also deserve a change of clothes and a shower, but I'm merely asking for the water. HELLO?!?"
Simon turned his attention back to Selina's friend as she spoke up once more asking him a question. "We're still working on interregating her as the investigation continues," he answered knowing the gist of the situation. "Another more imperative case had interrupted but now things are back on track." He hoped. His own attention had been forced to the illness and the search after watching de Talone for a while beforehand.
Roxanne confirmed and then paused as if debating on where to put people. He noticed her attention to both himself and Legend and wondered which way it would go and if he would play second-fiddle once more since that was usually how it meant. The prosecutor didn't disappoint yet when she explained that he would be watching over the new class and assisting with their questions Simon didn't feel bad about his placement. He'd surely rather help them then have Legend guide them...perhaps wrong or jaded.
Or worse...begin the treatment.
"Fine by me," Simon replied with an affirmative nod accepting his place. That left Roxanne and Legend to deal with de Talone's thirst that she took that moment to remind them of...as well as complain about her treatment. He looked to Genevieve and Kennedy as he waited the move to their respective corners. "We'll be through that door," he instructed, pointing the appropriate viewing room out and making to move closer in that direction.
Nope, definitely didn't recognize her. She supposed he could be forgiven for that lapse (today), although she did respond to his introduction with a smirk. "I'm aware. Genevieve Branxton."
So she knew who he was. Kennedy made a mental note to remember her name, though he knew he wouldn't forget now that he knew it. Plus, they were teammates now. YATI wise, you know.
With a grin and a nod, he said, "Pleasure to make your acquaintance."
His attention was then pulled away from her and onto Roxanne Carter. He listened to what she had to say and nodded in understanding. Right. They'd be watching the interrogation. He couldn't help his eyes from narrowing slightly when the witch behind the glass began to complain. He made another mental note to not let his emotions get in the way of his job.

Kennedy's eyes were still on the one-way mirror when Simon spoke. He nodded and followed. Time to get this on the road, yes? He was pretty excited, besides everything else, to get started on...whatever it was they were going to have him do on his first day. Even observing sounded exciting.
