Dirk didn’t even bother to read into the way she’d spoken, merely took up the conversation to see where else it might lead, it was never smart to judge at the beginning after all. “Oh they weren’t always like that.” he told her with a smile, “The Goblins have got many reasons to be less than cordial to us Wizards and Witches, over the centuries we’ve been pretty despicable towards them.” A lot of that bad-blood was still very much felt among their kind. “But, like with most people if you treat them with kindness and respect they’ll return it to you.” Plus, it made his job a great deal easier if he was simply nice to those that he worked with. Honestly, he still didn’t quite understand why some people felt the need to be so stand-offish much of the time.
“Me? Oh no,” he shook his head, “I work at the Goblin Liaison Office.” he told her, stretching a hand out, “My name’s Dirk Cresswell, it’s nice to meet you.” And he meant it, Dirk enjoying meeting and talking with different people since odds were he might learn something new or at least come away a little more informed for the experience. “Most of the ministry members who need to come here and deal with banking matters don’t actually speak a word of Gobbledegook.” he told her, “So I thought I’d likely get the job they needed done in half the time if I came myself. Save some other’s a little bit of work.” he added, “What about yourself? Here for banking business or just taking in the ally?”
“I am not sure about that.” She said carefully, of course she had been told since young age that the wizards and witches -pure bloods of course- were above any of these creatures and that the things the goblins claimed they did were not true and just their way to get things. of course she did knew it was a sensitive topic but one that she was pretty much sure that they were on the right. Still she wasn’t going to argue about that because in the end she didn’t care all too much about it, and she knew that she will more than likely not change the mind of anyone just as no one would change hers so it would be getting into a disagreement for no reason and why ruin a perfectly nice day? “That is very true, you can’t expect people to treat you nicely if you don’t give respect back after all.”
“Nice to meet you Dirk” She said taking his hand with a polite smile. She gave a faint nod as he spoke, well that explained why he knew the tongue, though why of all things he would want to work with goblins she wasn’t sure. “Hm.. you’d think that if your job is to deal with them you’d try to learn at least something.” She couldn’t blame them all too much but well it seemed very lazy to her that they wouldn’t do something that involved their job even id unpleasant. “I was thinking of it yes... But you know those karts they use to take you to your vault? They always make me sick so I was really thinking about it.”
