Leathan gave his most charming smile to Elise as she made her comment and then glanced at his feet, the table, and then back at her.

"Yes. It is, rather, isn't it?" he murmured, giving a jerk of his head towards Rufus. "But then, it's just too much fun to get under his skin."

It had been the source of much amusement for the hazel eyed wizard to pester and constantly irritate Rufus; it was just such behavior that had had the wizard on probation a number of times and on the worst of jobs at others. However, the simple fact that Leathan was one of the best at his job forced the surly Head Auror to often overlook Leathan's behavior and Leathan knew it.

Right now Leathan was far more inclined to irriate, as well. Having only just been allowed back out on the streets and away from his desk after his last pysche evaluation after his use of an Unforgiveable, he was antsy with anything that involved being stuck indoors.

Hopefully he'd land himself some good interns this summer.
