When Gidyun spoke up, Charles threw him a look of contempt, but when he said he was the department head, his jaw set. This guy was his boss? He narrowed his eyes at him and looked away again. This was going to be Gavin all over again, wasn't it?

His eyes turned to Layla when she spoke and he straightened up a little. He nodded to her when he realised that she was going to be working alongside him and was a professional woman who had a notepad. That cheered him up some. His eyes turned to Elizabeth when she came in and he gave her a little nod. He hadn't seen her for a while and wanted to know she was okay. He finally spoke up once Layla was done.

"I'm Charles Taylor. I am the other ambassador, specialising in the America's and I am the current liaison to the minister of magic's offices." Also, the one who already knew Gidyun. He just assumed from his previous experience that the man wouldn't do any of the Department's work but take all the credit, just as Gavin had done.
