Of course she was not happy in the slightest about its state herself, but she did not need anyone telling her what she needed to do about it when she was well aware. "Do I look like Maintenance to you?" she responded shortly, eyeing up his swishing finger. "And I am not familiar with that particular spell, sir, but as we've just recently re-accessed the Ministry and discovered a chizpurfle infestation, we're doing the best we can." It was bad enough that they could never get Maintenance down here but now she was getting mistaken for one that wasn't doing their job. Ugh, she was so sick of this mess. Was it too much to ask that they just have a decent place to actual do their work for a change and not spend all their time cleaning and fixing up?

Oh... right. Blake Evergreen. She had seen his paperwork come across her desk and had nearly forgotten that he was due to return. That would explain his presence. "You're looking at her," she began, giving him an assessing eye. "Mariel Morgan.. I'm the Department Head of Magical Games and Sports." And he was a Quidditch person which would suit her quite well given the activity in that division as of late, but that could be talked about. "Your first task, since you're so keen on seeing this place cleaned up, is to help me spray down this office and get rid of the chizpurfles." She thrust the remaining bottle in her hand towards him.

"I don't advise using any magic until we get rid of all of them.. unless you fancy them eating your wand." She frowned a bit, thinking of Victoria's.. hopefully there wasn't much damage done there. "I'll go get another bottle and we can talk about your job while we work." Efficiency at it's best. And if she had to do Maintenance's job, she might as well get some of her own work done at the same time if she could.

Oh. So she's not the help? Re-accessed the ministry? Chizpurfle infestation? Could someone please explain what was going on because this was all news to Blake. Ugh. Why was everything such a mess. Getting all the way to his department was enough of a struggle and now all of this. Yet, no one had cared to clue him in on what exactly happened here. Of course his brother, in America, didn't subscribe to the daily prophet as per his (muggle) wife's request. So how was he supposed to know anything?? "Uh, Mrs. I'm afraid I don't really understand what exactly happened here?" Blake commented whilst eyeing all the rubble.

Wait.... She's the new department head? Oops. He should probably apologize then, right? "Oh." Meh he would skip apologies for now. Wait-- Did she just say that his first task was to clean? Wasn't there... help for that? And didn't another man just leave the office? Why didn't she ask HIM to help? Clearly Blake had a problem with all of this dirt. First day back and he was being forced to do manual labor? He didn't sign up to be on the maintenance staff. Is this what years of valuable Quidditch knowledge brought him? HMPH. He did not go through seven years of Hogwarts for this nonsense.

Nevertheless, Blake caught the bottle she threw, perfectly might he add, and managed to let out nothing but a small sigh. After all this Mariel chick was his boss now. So he really had no choice in the matter. AND no magic?! This just keeps getting worse and worse. What does he look like, a house elf? "Alright... I guess I'll start working on helping clear up this mess." Really there was no one better for the job than Blake. He was quite fastidious and his "neat-freak" nature was starting to kick in, though he would never admit these quirks out loud. He would be working until the office looked absolutely perfect because as a "closet-ed" perfectionist, that's what he did. So starting in the corner of the room he sprayed along everything in an attempt to disinfect and get rid of the infestation.
