Despite being a close friend of his, Lucius quite regularly wanted to use an Unforgivable or two on Rodolphus. Now was on of those moments. “I don’t choose who works in the accidental crimes unit, Rodolphus,” was all he replied, stopping himself from rolling his eyes. Who he surrounded himself with in work was not exactly his choice. Outside work? Well, let’s just say he was working on it.
“We are?” He wasn’t really in the mood to do anything with the other man but that was unfortunately unimportant.
There were many ways Rodolphus could have refuted Lucius’ comment, with names as important as theirs nothing was impossible and while he could have been gracious, holding back was a much wiser choice. In no way was it a smart choice to speak over their allegiance to the Dark Lord in public and while their respective offices may have been somewhat safe, Rodolphus knew better. So he motions for Lucius to follow him as he starts making his way towards one of the many exit and entrance ways into the Ministry.
“Do you happen to remember the last time we took a break, Lucius? I believe it may have been a few weeks back and everyone needs to take a step back and distance themselves from everything.” Of course they wouldn’t actually be taking a break, Rodolphus had received a letter that morning with orders that were itching to be carried out.
