*Adrian picked up a notepad from the edge of the counter, and took out his wand, pointing it from his head to the notepad, a few words mumbled incoherently. Several names suddenly appeared upon the notepad. Adrian slid off of the counter, handing the list to Orpheus with a light smile.*
"Terribly sorry for paying you so much attention..." *He said quietly, before walking over to Callie to ask if she needed any help with anything, mostly hoping to get away from Orpheus, seeing as to how he hadn't been bold with a person in such a way before.*

*Orpheus' blue eyes widened slightly in surprise as he stood there with the list, turning his head to watch Adrian as he walked off to go help Callie. He wasn't quite sure what Adrian meant, but something about the way he'd said it caused a slight blush to stain Orpheus' cheeks. Clearing his throat a little, he tried to regain a nonchalant appearance, though the blush remained and his eyes sought out Adrian even more than before, even while he was examining their list of suspects.*

*Adrian straightened, glancing between Callie and Orpheus.* "If you've both accomplished the necessary, I must apologize, for I had prior plans that I fear I mustn't keep on hold." *After all, Adrian had many papers to grade.*

*Callie nodded and Orpheus quickly pocketed the list and his wand while she spoke to Adrian.*
"Very well... There seems to be nothing amiss here. We'll be on our way. Thank you for your time, Mr. Pickett."
*As Callie made her way toward the door, Orpheus spoke up.* "We'll be in touch. If you manage to think of anything else regarding the cauldrons or your buyers, please contact us at the ministry." *He took out his own business card, holding it out to Adrian.*

*Adrian's head shot up, his eyebrows furrowed.* "Pardon?" *Adrian glanced down at the business card, slipping it into his pocket. "With my luck, a cauldron might 'come to life' on me next." He smiled lightly, languid as he tied his hair back into a ponytail*

*Orpheus gave a very slight smile, his eyes lingering only a moment longer than they should've before he followed Callie to the door.* "Let us hope not. Good day, Mr. Pickett."

"Good day." *Adrian wandered towards the door, picking up his bag that carried all of his papers before setting out to the Leaky Cauldron for his usual glass of wine as he graded*

*Orpheus left with Callie, quickly heading back to the Ministry with her. Once they were back in their office, Callie gave him a curious look as he withdrew the list and handed it to her.*
"You spent an awful long time looking at Mr. Pickett while we were there. Was there something about him that you found suspicious?"
*Orpheus looked a little surprised, quickly speaking up.* "No, no there was nothing suspicious about him that I could tell." *He cleared his throat a little, turning his attention to the list in her hands.* "Copy down half of the list and find the locations... I'll take the other half."
*Callie gave him an odd look but just shrugged, getting to work.*

*Adrian sat at a table in the back, sipping his wine. He took out a rather large stack of papers, and began looking them over one by one.*

*Orpheus looked up the locations of all of Adrian's distributors, though the end of the workday came quickly and he was forced to drop it for the day and wait until the next. He tidied up his desk and bade farewell to Callie and his other coworkers before leaving the ministry.*

*Adrian raised an eyebrow, contemplating over how 'A potion is much similar to a bologna sandwich.' He fingered through the stack, comparing another essay to the one he was currently graded, and realized that they both used the same comparison. Chuckling to himself, he wrote comments such as 'I agree. Good comparison.' and 'If that weren't so ridiculous... well, it is, so never mind.'*
"Maybe it's the wine." He quipped.

*Orpheus apparated to his small house outside of the city, opening his door with a wave of his wand and lighting all of the candles inside with another flick. After closing the door, he pocketed his wand and took a seat on his couch, glad to be home.*

*Adrian carefully placed the fully-graded papers into his bag, and apparated to his house, glancing around for his roommate, Iris.*
"How was your day?" *Iris asked, having just apparated behind Adrian*
*Adrian chuckled, stuffing his hands into his pockets as he faced the young woman. "Eventful." *Adrian walked over to his room, glancing back at Iris before opening the door. "I'm rather tired." *He stated, locking the door behind him. He really just didn't enjoy conversation, even with his cousin*

*Orpheus sat still for a long while, gazing into the flames that sprung into his hearth with a wave of his wand. Finally, he put them out, getting up and setting his dishes to washing themselves and his broom to sweeping the floors, though his house was already more than tidy. He made his way to his bedroom, undressing and folding his clothes into his hamper before climbing under the covers of his four-post bed.*

*Adrian sighed serenely as he set each candle in his room aflame one by one. He unbuttoned his shirt lazily, groaning tiredly as it set itself neatly inside his hamper. Adrian collapsed upon his bed, his fingers playing with the green curtains beside him; catching a glance or two outside his window, he watched the wind take its toll upon the leaves on the ground.*
