Mariel smiled in relief. Thankfully the woman was friendly and didn't just bite her head off for running into her.
"Hi Elizabeth.. I'm Mariel," she answered in return.
"Oh, African Ambassador.. that sounds really interesting." Mariel loved to travel to other countries, but had never been to Africa. She'd have to change that.
"I'm in Games and Sports." Quote:

I am Tyler." he was glad to be meeting more people. "What department do you work in? Or shall I try and guess.. though I am not very good at guessing" he smiled, though he was now thinking that it was a bad move to say that and should have just started off with a simple question. But it was done now so no point worrying about it now.
Mariel smiled pleasantly as the man turned towards her. Aww, and he seemed a bit nervous.. The woman couldn't blame him as she had felt the same way upon walking in.. but for some reason the fact that others were nervous as well put her a little more at ease. Perhaps talking to the man would do the same for him.
"Yes.. something like that," she gave him a nod and friendly smile.
"Learning together.. but separate." That was a kind of funny thought.
"It's nice to meet you as well, Tyler."
She was about to open her mouth to answer his question, then the hint of a mischievous grin played on the corners of her lips at his next words. A guessing game might be fun..
"Why don't you go on and guess then?" she said as she smoothed down the pleats of her skirt and pushed back a few of her raven locks behind her shoulders.
"Where do I look like I belong? ..and then I'll guess yours."

"Yes.. Games and Sports," she nodded. Mariel glanced over at Victoria and nodded again as she turned back to Melissa.
"We were just discussing that.. Quite a coincidence." Mariel smiled over at her co-worker, glad that they got on well already.
"Um.. I'm not sure yet.. I'm new and haven't gotten that detail of my assignment yet." Mariel thought for a moment. Hopefully it wouldn't be long until she found out. She hated being in the dark about things.
"I suppose given my experience, it will most likely be Quidditch-related," she added.

She had been over what had happened and was just glad to be starting knew. Then her smile grew bigger, of course, any chance to speak of her love was something to smile about. Taking out the picture from her purse she showed Mariel. "He is seven this year." She couldn't believe she had a seven year old already, he was growing so quickly. "He was so nervous for the move. Leaving all his little friends."
Victoria then smiled even bigger. "Oh you are? That's wonderful.. I'm so glad to know someone else in my department. I.. I don't know exactly what I'm doing yet though, I hope I find out soon." She didn't know if Mariel knew what she was doing yet or not, but she knew she was nervous not knowing.
Mariel leaned over to view Victoria's picture.
"Oh, he's precious," she said with a smile.
"Great age, isn't it? I don't have any myself, but my sisters have kids.." She offered a sympathetic smile.
"I'm sure he'll be fine.. Kids are resilient. And I bet he'll love London... What's his name?"
Mariel nodded happily.
"Me too.. I was a bit nervous, thinking I'd be the new kid at Games and Sports, but I guess we can share that title," she said with an amused smile. The woman furrowed her brow slightly.
"You either? No.. I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet.. Hopefully something with Quidditch." Because gobstones really weren't her thing.
"Maybe we'll find out today?" she added hopefully.
