He was only giving the man a hard time in a joking-type manner, though. Most people did tend to forget that the Ministry of Magic was constructed differently than most buildings. Level one was at the very top, and if you wanted to go to any of the others, you went down, ending with level ten, which was the courtroom level.
When the lift door opened, Alexander made a move to step inside, but he turned back to the man before he did so. "Are you headed down, as well?" he asked, motioning into the lift. Then he stepped inside. OOC: Want to join him in the lifts? "I'm sorry Mr. Grengoth, I've only just returned from america and the buildings are different here." He smiled knowing the guy was just messing with him. It was nice to know that not all upper level bureaucrats were stuffed shirts. He seemed like a nice guy and maybe someone that he could be friends with.
Luke Stepped inside. "Yes sir, I'd like to see level 10." He smiled. "My name is Luke Dubois I'm the new CMEC Counterfeit Magic Identification Specialist." He introduced himself and held out his hand to the Senior Undersecretary.
