A moment's peace
Characters: Adrian and Theo
Setting: London, nearabouts the ministry, Wednesday November 5th around 9:30 AM
Summary: Adrian needs a jumpstart on Harry's case and take a short break where he runs into Theo
Rating: Worksafe

Adrian did not like the fact that Harry's case was not getting any closer to solved. Between the pressure from the media, from the populace, from the DMLE and from Adrian himself, every day that slipped by without an answer was like a slap in the face. He'd been given a chance to work on an extremely high profile case and he had no intention of letting it go unsolved. He owe that to himself, and to the people whose lives were torn apart by the death of someone they cared about. It was Harry Potter. How could he not get his murder solved, as soon as possible? It had only been days, certainly, but those days felt like weeks, especially since they had so little to go on.

They needed suspects. They needed interviews. They needed evidence. They needed a hell of a lot of things they did have. All Adrian had was speculation. He made a mental note to check in with Cade sooner rather than later and see how his case was going. Perhaps bouncing thoughts at him might help jumpstart his own. Adrian threw on his coat and grabbed his cigarettes. He needed a short break and so he headed outside. After surfacing from underground, Adrian chose a building several doors down from the one under which the ministry hid and leaned against it, lighting up. He watched muggles and wizards alike go by, the latter blending in seamlessly to the former, and wondered how many of them suffered from the nightmares that were going around.

Theodore looked back at Adrian calmly and unfazed by the auror making it clear that he was aware of his subtle questioning. "To answer your attempt to shift topics," he started.

"I was headed to one of my preferred suppliers of scones and coffee. It has been a week that treats of any shape or form are of necessity." A smile crossed his face for a brief moment when he thought about the rather good shag yesterday, which did manage to some extent overshadow the concerns he had about spots and nightmares. For now at least. He still wouldn't let his mind wander too far into the nightmares once more.

Adrian shrugged one shoulder at that comment, leaving it alone otherwise.

"Well please don't let me keep you further. In fact, it would behoove me to get back inside and search for a break in this case." His mind cleared, Adrian was actually quite prepared to get back to work. the conversation with Theodore, though brief, had actually helped clear his thoughts as much as the cigarette had.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to distract you too long from your case. It is quite important work." Theodore's mind wandered along the line of meaningful work before it returned to the conversation at hand. He had felt that for the past while he had a relatively meaningless existence. But that was something to ponder some other day.

"I wish you well in your investigation, Pucey," he said, before heading off towards the cafe.
