Not one bit.
"No, I'm not," She said, slightly irritated. What made him think she was a minister's office worker? She was far from it, actually. No offense to anyone, but that department seemed too much fun and games to her, which was not good! A little was quite alright, but a lot is not, especially at work! She wouldn't dream of being in that department. "I'm an Obliviator, in Accidents and Catastrophes, actually." Now that was more like it! Gia felt that job really suited her. It was almost like the MLE, without as much danger. Exactly what she needed!
He was momentarily taken aback by the irritation in the woman's voice. He raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what he could have possibly said to offend her. Pfft. Women.
After hearing her talk a little about her job he had a feeling that the offence came when he assumed she was another worker in the Minister's Office.
"It wasn't anything personal, I've just been running into quite a few of them from that department so I thought I'd find out if you fit in that general category too." It wasn't like he saw it written all over her, he was just trying to figure out this mess of people that he was supposed to be getting acquainted with.
"I see...so you prefer your job to be on the more dangerous side of the spectrum?" He didn't mind danger but he didn't have a passion for it either.
"You make the Minister's Office sound like a death sentence. What do they do in there anyway?" Quote:

There we go. A laugh. Progress was being made. He found himself laughing too when she asked if all Gavins were sweet.
That wouldn't have been his choice of word for himself. Not at all. Though he wouldn't tell her that.
"I guess it really depends on what you call 'sweet'." He answered simply, adding a nod when she told him about her job. Now it was his turn.
"I work in the Department of Mysteries." Did he have to tell her what he did up there? It couldn't have been all that important so he left it out.
"How long have you been working there?" Quote:

"Caedwyn Howard, although I'm called Cade. Are you new to the Ministry?"
Mhmm. Point proven. This whole nickname offering was quite wide spread. Just about everyone that he met had one. Seeing as it really was the norm of the people here he would simply look pass it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you...Cade." His hands stayed lodged in his pockets. Handshakes were appropriate but not when his hand was still recovering from an earlier shake. These people all had a lot in common so if there was one woman with a firm grip then there were bound to be dozens. He did offer her a polite smile though.
"And yes, very new." but these people obviously couldn't tell, leaving him to make the effort in this social exchange. Ugh.
"What Department are you working in?" He'd given up on asking others if they were new. It would come up sooner or later anyway.
