She reached over and picked up a chocolate covered strawberry. She would die for those things. She turned her gaze back to the woman. Like everyone else she was dressed to her best.
"You look lovely by the way. What department are you in?" She asked kindly.
Hmmm the cheese was wonderful. It must be Bree. Hm.
Slightly startled as another woman stood beside her and spoke up about the spread. She seemed hungry herself but hadn't touched anything yet. Probably dieting, not that she needed it or anything--just many women did that these days. Inez had been blessed with good genes and was thankfully eternally thin.
"Oh yes it's just delightful. Oh but surely you must try something." she was just about to suggest a strawberry when the lady took one, she must ahve mind-reading abilities.
"Ooh yes, a chocolate-covered strawberry is a good choice if you don't want to make a mess of your gown, they aren't drippy." She said with a chipper little grin before taking a bite of one of her own strawberries.
She did?
"Thank you very much dear. You look quite wonderful yourself. Everyone is so nice here." She smoothed the purple fabric on her midsection as she processed the next question.
"I'm the new Transportation department head, Inez Grey. Minister Greingoth has hired me after what I have heard was quite a fiasco, have I read about that correctly?" she was of course meaning the Cult stuff that had landed her predecesor out of his job and Inez into it.

The return to the hectic pace meant certain things had to be sacrificed. Like meals. Right he's thankful for the event. It means he can finally eat and do his job at the same time.
He saw a lady going about her business at the buffet table. He picked up the plate and made his way towards the main course, giving the lady a polite "Hello". He doesnt remember seeing her around this place before hmm. "Would you recommend anything from this spread?" Ugh, small talk, not quite his specialty.
Another bite of the amazing chocolate strawberries had sealed it in Inez's mind, she needed at least two more of those things. As she reached down to pick them up from their decorative platter she felt eyes on her and she looked up in time to see a man standing across the table from her, a small smile on his lips, voicing a hello to her.
Now Inez had been uneasy around men who she thought may be hitting on her ever since her fiance had cheated on a few years ago so her gaurd was up as she replied.
"Hello there." He was beginning to fumble around with the notion of dinner spreads and Inez's gaurd was instantly dropped a tiny bit--he wasn't very good at conversating it seemed.
"Well let's see. Are you looking for something to make a meal because I would definately suggest some of the Salmon over there with broiled asparaghus. But if you were wanting something lighter there is a fruit and cheese tray right here." she said indicating the tray she had taken the cheese that was currently on her plate from.
"And don't get me started on desserts." She giggled a bit, she was a sucker for those.
"Inez Grey, pleasure to meet you." she held out a hand for him to shake.
