technicallyhellbound: (one (1) entire feeling)

Edwin was thankful to be put back together again, it wasn't his usual uniform worn like a kind of armor, but it was comfortable enough and he was actually prepared when the Night Nurse made her reappearance, this time actually using the office door and knocking first, which Edwin knew probably needled her more than it should have, and he knew he shouldn't be amused by that thought, but he still was, at least a little.

"Good, you're both decent." She greeted, eying them both before waving someone from the Department through the door behind her, "This is Mr. Lionel, recently remanded by your office to the Reintegration Department, and as you can see, they've done their job admirably."
The man in question was maybe fifty or sixty, gray streaks at his temples in an otherwise still dark russet head of hair, looking a little like some misplaced history professor with his tweed jacket and a pair of spectacles tucked into his breast pocket along with his pocket square, he regarded them both for a moment, "From what I understand, you two are suffering some, ah, adverse effects from the spell I was working with before my unfortunate slide into obsession."

Edwin's brow creased slightly, he knew that theoretically poltergeists could be returned to their former selves, but it was tricky work, and knowing that there was a whole department dedicated to just that was something he was going to have to ask about later, instead just nodding, "I'm Edwin, this is Charles, and that's one way of putting it, yes."
