There was something off... about ... things, but she had no reason to suspect anything significant, the exception being the sound of pitter-patter as the door opened.

Great Circe.
Emily didn't so much as flinch as her face - and eyes - were spattered with water by the Minister. Rather, she raised a finger to wipe it away, casually. She'd have stated the obvious, that it was raining in his office, but it seemed he knew that so there was no need to elaborate. It concerned her though, that things seemed to be continuing to go awry, especially considering this wasn't the first instance of rain today. Emily exchanged a look with the Minister and Gavin before adding a nugget of information to the conversation. "It's raining in the food court too," she started, looking between the men. "I summoned Enviro, but when I left it hadn't been resolved..." and this was not the least bit awkward. On the plus side, the Minister wore wet quite well.
It appeared as though this wasn't a good time. Whoops.
At any rate, she wasn't here to talk about rain. No, her accounts and budgets folder was still firmly clasped in her hand and definitely at the top of her list of things to get done. "Minister, I respect that you're experiencing...poor weather conditions" because that's what it was, clearly, " ...but at your earliest convenience," like nowwww, "would it be possible to continue our meeting elsewhere?" he looked like he needed a good distraction, and this was most definitely good - for the Ministry. Of course, he could offer to reschedule, but she wasn't about to present that as an option, it wasn't ideal for her. Time was money, and the show had to go on. No point in letting a bit of rain spoil the parade. Heh.
