Edward had a good point. "Welcome to the ministry." And what a welcome he got. It didn't even dawn on her that he hadn't even been able to see his own work station before the ministry got themselves in this mess.

Ainsley turned her attention back to Alex. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Oops. She didn't mention what department she was, but her "neck of the woods" comment was pretty self explanatory no? Still, she just had to tell her. Ainsley couldn't do anything that may come off as rude. "Please forgive me for not saying earlier, but I work here at the minister's office." As a media liaison, but there was no need to go into specifics at the moment.

"A patronus sounds lovely. Shall I?" She didn't actually want to go bombard the head of law enforcement without treats. She had met the woman before and that was pretty much the only way to approach her.

"Yes. I think so." She could lead the way. "After you dear." Manners, she could never shake them.
