Before he knew it, Kieran was scoffing at the ORO’s unofficial leader. The dark haired wizard found it a tad presumptuous for Corrigan to assume that he and the whelp that was passed out in front of him would get along well, but even Kieran had to concede that he had a point that there was perhaps some common ground between them due to their shifter natures. And from the looks of it, this Reynell’s condition didn’t seem completely voluntary either. Although with that said, Kieran would take randomly growing a pig snout over Lycanthropy any day.

End’s comment caused the werewolf to raise an eyebrow. Not only because anybody with eyes could tell that she had fainted, but also because he couldn’t help but wonder just how much medical paraphernalia the doctor kept on his person at all times. It was hardly worth mentioning though, so he went to reach for the salts, but stopped when he noticed that the subject in question had started to stir.

Kieran backed up a bit to give Reynell some room as she sat up, but as she did, he saw just how young she looked. The girl barely looked old enough to have finished her schooling at Hogwarts, much less graduate from ORO’s “graduate program.” He balled his hands into a tight fist, his thoughts echoing Greenwood’s comments. [color=slategray][i]’It took me four years to become a full-fledged Regulator. Is this kid simply just that good or is the Ministry actively trying to get her killed?’[/i][/color] he wondered as his usual frown deepened even more, feeling a strange sense of protectiveness despite himself.

After all, it was one thing to lose a colleague that had known and had been prepared for the risks that came with the job. It was quite another to see some kid die when they had never even understood what they had gotten themselves into in the first place.

Reynell started babbling about a man she had seen, pulling Kieran out of his thoughts. It didn’t take a genius to figure out she must have meant the Caretaker, which if she had seen the old man scrying, that could be one explanation behind how she had ended up in a heap on their floor. [color=slategray][i]’But if she’s really that squeamish, she is definitely going to be in for a rough time.’[/i][/color] 

Kieran blinked. He had been staring at her since she had woken up. And with a look that seemed far too much like one of concern no less. That wasn’t like him. He made his way towards the map, trying to focus on the upcoming job and not the girl who was currently desperate to hide her ears and nose. The werewolf couldn’t help but shake his head, already having a sinking suspicion that it was going to be a rather long day.

[color=slategray]”Looks like we picked up another lively one,”[/color] he muttered, his total lack of enthusiasm for the entire situation before him perfectly captured by his tone.
