Flattening her skirt one last time she opened the door. "Good afternoon Mr. Howell, I do hope I haven't caught you at a bad time. It's a pleasure to see you again by the way." Yes no introductions were necessary they had met once. "I do hope you could spare a few moments to chat. I am going around to speak to all the Department heads. As you know I'm running for minister and I want a chance to hear from departments about what they want to see change in the ministry, what in your department is the most important thing you need help with or just need from the minister." She pulled out her parchment and quill, "I hope you don't mind if I take some notes." She didn't want to forget anything they told her, it was all so important. Now the most important thing in the room, could she sit? Oh, if it wasn't a familiar face.
A smile flitted across the Department Head's face when the woman came through the door. "Good afternoon, Mrs Culloden," he said, giving her a nod of acknowledgement as well. Had she disturbed him? "Not at all but between you and me, I'm glad you came. Paperwork can be tedious to deal with." Probably why he left it to Ronnie half of the time. He very much preferred dealing with plants hands on. "Of course, I can." Again, she was stopping him from getting paperwork done which he was much too happy about. He even motioned to one of the comfy chairs on the other side of the desk. Take a seat, Culloden. And what was this? A candidate for the top job who actually wanted to know what the people wanted? New. Very new. Bryce wasn't sure if she was aware that it put her right up the ranking for the role in his opinion. He only hoped this wasn't a political move of some sort.
The Department Head took a moment to sip on his cup of coffee and survey her while he tried to think of a good enough answer. What is the most important thing they needed help on? "Communication would be a strong aspect that we'd need to build on, I think." No matter what his demeanour may be, he still wasn't one to trust too easily. It had to be gained. "As for my Department, I'm not sure. Our main concerns lie in illegal and dangerous plants that somehow slip through the radar for a short period of time, people building on a land they're not meant to and freak weather conditions. I'm not saying we can abolish these problems altogether -- that's impossible -- but if there's a way to teach the public more about what to do if they come in contact with something dangerous, that would be helpful." Which gave him an idea, funnily enough.
Pause. "I'm not entirely sure what else to add to answer that question. Is there anything in particular you were looking for?" She had come in close contact with some dangerous plants recently.
Another pause. "Would you like some tea, coffee or pastries?" He might have some doughnuts on him, if she was lucky enough.
