Waiting For the Hunt [Kandace/Open]

[Eli Andrew Oakley]

Eli had just counted his money, which was growing quite considerably. His reputation must have been even better than he thought. Eli was actually quite happy right now, as he had made a great life for him. Oh yes, he was a very happy, rich guy who pretended his current wealth was from his parents, who actually never gave him money, but never said they hadn't given him any.

Eli was sitting in the Obliviator Office, his list of people who he would hunt in a little bit of time, not bothering with worry about his work here. It was easy enough. He didn't have that work anyways. But it wasn't that bad when a job actually came in, and became fairly fun making the muggles forget about magic and other cases.

Kandace walked into work that morning after being questioned several times why she was back. Everyone should know that working for a diplomat wasn't a high paying job. She still needed to save up for a real house. After walking into the office, and changing her desk to a variety of bright colors that corresponded. She changed her hair to light blue, it apperently suited her complexion well.

She looked at the other desks and noticed Eli, she hadn't really talked to him much before. It was a wonder, how could she not have spoken to him?

"Hey, got a sec?" she said leaning back in her chair.

Eli was just about to star his target for tonight when that Kandace came in and began changing her desk, distracting poor Eli. He kept his list out, setting it on his desk and leaning back. Might as make conversation. It wasn't like he was busy or on a time crunch. As long as he had his target gone by midnight today, he'd get another hefty paycheck from a very wealthy and powerful client.

"Sure. What do you want?" Eli asked lazily before picking up his list again and looking at the names once more to make sure he knew where to find each other these people.

Kandace pushed her chair back to where she could see around her little wall better. As good a chance as any to get to know her co-workers right? Should be because she had nothing to do for a while, Axel was a bit AWOL meaning she had no clue where he was. Besides her and Axel weren't an official couple, they were just friends who liked to chat all the time. That didn't mean anything right?

"Well I was wondering if you're busy for lunch today? The person I was supposed to go with didn't really give me an answer and I don't have anything but snacks left at my house.." she said trying to peek at what he was looking at. She knew there was something off about him, he was always looking at some list. If she could only get her hands on it...

[Eli Andrew Oakley]

Eli was slightly caught by surprise when she asked him if he was busy. Really he wasn't, though he was planning on scoping out some other people who could be future clients. Being an Obliviator really helped with his memory charm practice, and how he could keep himself from being revealed by someone he talked to about becoming a client. Other than scoping out others, he was alone. Sure Nico was working here, but the two hadn't been friends for a few years, since their 7th year. Maybe he could befriend Nico again and draw even more suspicion away from him again. But now was not the time for this.

"Just have a couple of reports on the Muggle witnesses last week to finish, but I think I can take a break for some lunch... plus anyways, I wasn't working on them," Eli replied placing his notebook in one of the desk drawers he had enchanted to only open for him.

Kandace smiled and her hair popped to a baby blanket pink, then settled back to baby blue. No one in the office had really spoken to her. They would usually refer to her as 'that young brat' or 'the obliviation abomination'. She'd realized they were talking about her when she'd decided she was going to fill one of the seats of an obliviator who'd fallen ill. People were cruel, and she often liked to ignore them, but it was nice to have a few friends. She had a couple from Hogwarts that still sent her messages, but they'd been on the run for so long they never sent anything anymore. She was afraid they might have died, but the paper never said anything about deaths anymore.

"Great! I have to write up a report from yesterday, I'll finish that and be ready togo!" she smiled. She pulled her chair forward and started to write on two different sheets of paper. One at a time, of course. One was a letter to her mother, the other her report. Her mother would often times send her an owl message because she thought if she waited long enough there would be some great news that happened durring the owl's flight there.

[Eli Andrew Oakley]

Eli actually didn't mind Kandace at all. She didn't seem that bad. Plus she was a Metamorphagus, which he wished he was. It would make his first job a lot easier. And she may be a later client, though he doubted on her wage she could afford his fee, though he might make a couple of exceptions here and there for people like her. Maybe she would want to get rid of some old boyfriend, or someone who threatened her family or friends. As long as it didn't interrupt with his work with Voldemort, and the many assassinations he has been doing for them, including several muggle born families, and muggles. No need for Kandace to find out though.

"Sounds like a plan," Eli said pulling out his two reports, and a quill. He dipped it in ink and began his reports. Eli felt it was very curious that she had taken out two pieces of paper, when he knew she only needed one. He wasn't a stalker, no, no. He knew everything that was going around with anyone who near to him, which is how he knew Nico's every move, and Kandace seeming to have a guy she was hanging around more often, a new guy in her life.

Kandace smiled and finished up her work. Her letter to her mother had several scratch out points, and she didn't know how to word it, so it was in the waste bin not long later. Her report, well that was another story. It consisted of what the problem had been, who the muggles were, who she was, the only thing missing was her explination. But how to word that? She kept thinking back to her fifth year at Hogwarts when she had to write one for McGonagall. She'd spent the whole night, driving herself mad trying to finish one paper. Now here she was, a couple years later doing the same thing. Driving herself mad to finish a paper.

She looked over at Eli, maybe he could help her out? "H-hey Eli? Would you . . . would you mind helping me with this explination? I don't know how to word it exactly, and it's due in about three hours. Last time I did a paper like this it took a whole night." she rambled.
