SPOILER!!: Lulu with the too high heels Quote:

"I only use them on special occasions and I guess today is one of them. The Ministry Orientation is a special occasion, not just anything by the side.
"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself to you," Lulu straightened up and smiled at the woman. "I'm Lourdes Black, Lulu for short." Then Lulu offered her hand to the woman to shake. She's got to keep the formality in this event, yes. Wearing high heels had the big perk of making every woman’s legs look nicer but unfortunately that perk didn’t balance the pain your feet or toes had to endure. Smiling Tasha nodded "That’s sensible."
"I just gave up on wearing heels a long time ago." She commented with a gesture to her low yet elegant blue shoes.
Her face broke up into a broad smile as she shook the woman's outstretched hand. "It’s a pleasure to meet you Lulu. I'm Natasha Warrington, Tasha for short. I work in Accidents & Catastrophes." under Althea Schrimer her boss and good friend. SPOILER!!: Roxanne Quote:

Yep, still had her humor, even when it seemed that the Ministry was starting to unravel again. That was good, she was going to need it over the coming months it seemed. Sending a final smirk over her shoulder at the woman, she turned to follow Dorian over the few paces he'd moved.
Only to realize that he looked disapproving. Crap. This was going to make this conversation a little harder, not to mention making Roxanne feel like a wayward child or something. Her own fault, sure, but she didn't want to focus on that little inconvenient fact right then. She closed her eyes and sighed. Time to grovel. "I'm sorry about that, and I'll find her and apologize later. Right now, we've got bigger things to worry about, and when I say we, I mean the entire department." she spoke in a lowered tone, making completely sure that she wasn't overheard. Briefly glancing over at Kensi, she continued, "It seems that whatever is wrong with Kensi here, has been cropping up in people all over the Ministry and people in the department have noticed, but didn't bother telling Wes about it. Er, until today, when she showed up acting basically like she is now. He's not very happy and has called a department wide meeting for when this event is over." She didn't think she was exaggerating much with that. In fact, the 'not very happy' was probably a little bit of an understatement. Natasha weren’t in the habit usually to judge people from the first impression since they were almost always deceiving or inaccurate but this woman it was very tempting to put in the rude and bossy category next to a few other people she really didn’t like. The woman would maybe rise out of the rude category if she took the time to apologize fully like any normal person would do before the mingle extravaganza was over. Tasha doubted she’d get an apology though considering that the other woman seemed to have so much fun arching her eyebrows and smirking in her direction over Dorian’s shoulder.
Not everyone in MLE was polite it seemed but that was necessarily not a bad thing considering the work they had to deal with. SPOILER!!: Dorian Quote:

Not his department, however, as parchment and inkwells were hardly magical equipment, but he was involved merely through the connection. Although, the introduction of the Accidents and Catastrophes head wasn't expected. "I imagine she would have an answer or two," he replied vaguely. Or several, if reports were accurate. He couldn't say one way or another, not having personally made the acquaintance of Althea Schirmer. The woman was Natasha's boss, though, so going to her made sense.
She'd seemed a bit disappointed by the interruption, as well, and he examined her for a few seconds as she'd shrugged. Either it was the interruption, or some oversight on his side, he couldn't tell which. Either way, he wanted to defuse a situation before it had begun, and if that meant appeasing Roxanne's request, that was what would happen. "This won't take long," he replied, honestly figuring it would be just a message being passed on and then that would be done with. Therefore he could return sooner than another day entirely. Of course, that depended on how the situation with Ms. Whitworth turned out, and he gave Natasha credit for at least noticing that. Roxanne certainly hadn't seemed to, but that was another reason to let her have her say. "I’ll speak to Miss Schrimer after this mingle extravaganza is over." She assured Dorian. Tasha was most probably blowing things out of proportion anyway and Althea could make her see things more clearly. A Little butterfly stirred in the pit of her stomach before it disappeared just as quickly when Dorian told her that he’d be back in a few minutes.
Tasha watched him shuffle some paces away to talk to Kensi and Roxanne. It was his job to see to that Kensi got the proper help she needed and that seemed to involve working with miss rude.
Pulling a few blond locks out of her hair she left for the food area to appease her grumbling stomach. She back moments later with her plate. SPOILER!!: Kensi Quote:

And then....she snapped out of it. And she blinked a few times, wiped her mouth on her sleeve(she was beyond caring at the moment) and just looked around..wide eyed..and then the pain from her head hit her and she groaned...she noticed her hand on Dorian's shoulder and quickly retracted it to bury her head in her hands..."What's..did I do anything stupid?!" she asked frantically...she needed to know..had she bitten anyone again?!
And then this Roxanne girl..where had Natasha gone?! Kensi liked Natasha. This Roxanne character looked mean. And super stressed..the redhead just stared...she caught the end part of her sentence..Wes was mad? "Wes shouldn't be mad. I MADE an appointment with him before the holidays started to DISCUSS this and he pushed it off." She growled, VERY angry at her Bossman right now. "It's his own fault."
Yeah.
There. Putting her teeth into some grapes Tasha watched and heard from a distance how Kensi seemingly got a lot better as she started to hotly share her views and spread bile on her brother in law for not seeing the seriousness of her sickness before the vacation. Tasha wanted to cut in and say 'he probably had a lot on his mind with babies on the way' but it wouldn’t help and besides it wouldn’t hold as an excuse now.
Looking over at her sister Tasha admitted that was the reason why she had neglected to tell Izzy about her meeting with Dorian in Diagon Alley.
