Avalon Wright

Apologies. That's what awaited her when she had finally walked into Penrose's office. It was rather surprising, yet on one hand it wasn't. The tension had been so thick between her and Max that it was no wonder he had dropped the case. Hopefully that meant she'd be receiving a more professional and appropriate partner.

"No, I apologize as well." Avalon replied politely. It was only in common courtesy really. The young wizard also had one hell of a headache, somewhat resultant of her activities from the night before. No more fire whiskey for a long while.. Penrose also mentioned that it might take them a bit to find another suitable auror with an available opening, so in the mean time she'd have to work alone. This information Penrose emphasized that during her time alone, it would only be research related work.

Eventually she made it out of the man's office, closing the door behind her with a heavy sigh.She understood about wanting to keep international relations on the positive, but the man just wouldn't stop with the apologies and pleasantries. It was rather annoying and it kept Ava from doing some of the work related to the Lessinia case.

She made her way down the hall rather slowly. She was hoping to avoid Max considering his apparent termination from the assignment. Just as she was about to turn into the cubicle area where most of the aurors were stationed, a sensation travelled down the back of her neck. It was like a tickle, right at the base of where her neck met her shoulders. It stopped her in mid step.

Avalon slowly turned her head to see nothing. It was strange really, she didn't just get feelings like that for nothing. No, her Nemean blood heightened her sensitivity to a number of things. Almost like a sixth sense, she could feel ill magic.
