"Honestly, the wish has already come true...when you walked up..." o, wow that didn't sound any better, "I haven't really met many people at the Ministry over the past few years so it kind of makes coming to work a little less exciting each day." maybe that was too much sharing...did that make her sound like she was mean or weird or something...probably since she just shared that with a pretty much stranger. She shrugged her shoulders a little bit.

His face instantly appeared behind a desk in her head...uh duh...yes of course she knew him..."Of course, I'm so dull sometimes...That's why you look so familiar. We work on the same level and it's not like it's a humongous level so I'm sure we've seen each other quite often..." was she rambling...maybe a little bit...but she still felt awkward because she was afraid she had smooshed his toes earlier...but you couldn't blame a girl for trying a little bit...he was handsome and she had learned a while back that most men were more flattered that way.

"It is a very different job that those I've had in the past...less stressful and you get to meet some of the most interesting people." she said with a smile. "How bout you, have you always worked on Level One?"
Ah, she tossed the coin, anyway. Maybe her wish would come true, now that she threw a couple of coins, and not only one. Hehe. But... she said she was boring? "If you say so, I honestly don't know what to say about myself," he laughed. Well, truth be told, she didn't seem boring at all, even though Konrad didn't really know anything about her. He, on the other hand, was the boring one there. He really was.

And then she said it.

...

Her wish came true... when HE walked up?! His eyes instantly widened as he heard that part, but he was more than glad to listen to the second part of her answer, which only made his face soften. "I'm not Mr Popular either, if that helps." It probably didn't. "But I'm sure you'll meet amazing people through this new job of yours." Planning events surely involved a large team, he at least knew that much.

He smiled when she actually remembered him. It's not like someone passing through the front desk area could miss him... since he worked there... and that six foot four frame of his didn't really help him go unnoticed either, as much as he didn't like it. "Yes, I'm sure I've seen you around," he said with a smile. The least he could do was know some of the employees working on the same level, even though he hadn't officially met all of them.

"I don't think it wouldn't be stressful for me." He was organized, neat and all, but when if it came to planning events... he knew he'd have awful headaches. That's why women were so good at this. "What exactly did you do before, if you don't mind my asking?" She probably figured by now what a curious creature Konrad was. Eh, everyone got used to it... eventually. "Yes, I worked here for the last... four years, I think. I used to travel a lot before moving here." And he missed those days... but he also wanted to settle down and maybe one day have a family of his own. Not that he didn't have a spoiled baby already.

... his feline companion, that is.
