Was she alone?
NOT FOR LONG.
The woman, who at this point had been fiddling with the many rings that adorned her fingers out of nervousness, looked up as the first person walked in and introduced herself. "Ms MAAAAAAnning! Welcome welcome," she said, throwing her arms out wide in a welcoming gesture. And the lady was going to sit next to her? This made her POPULAR. "Of course not. Help yourself to some snacks." Needless to say that they needed finishing before the Senior Undersecretary got her hands on too many of them.
Oh and another fellow (Daichi). A confused fellow. The woman tilted her head, half wondering if his brain was still snoozing. She wouldn't be here with snacks and drinks if there wasn't a conference, kiddo. "Oh you're fiiiiine!" He didn't seem to be so, she was going to help resolve the situation. She could have easily told him to wake his brain up but she wasnt that type of person. Actions spoke louder than words so, grabbing a pot of coffee and a mug, she poured some out for the man and passed it over to him. "It'll help."
Delphine couldn't help but admire just how smartly dressed her department were. Sure, this was the Ministry and one could hardly turn up in jogging bottoms but Merlin, the fashion standard was high in here. "Mr Bellamy," she said, shaking his hand, "Glad you could make it."
The fashion standard kept rising and rising. Maybe this wasn't a department to look casual in. Ahem. Taking her feet off the desk, the single mother smiled at the very well dressed woman. "Hello, Ms Price," Was she doing well? Keeping busy? "You could say that. My two year old really likes throwing spaghetti at the walls." Sigh. Boys. "You look very happy today."
And here was a silent one. A silent new employee. Delphine tilted her head at Ms Assadi, watching her curiously. Cat got her tongue? Poor soul. "Helloooooo, Ms," she said, smiling over at her.
It was always wonderful to see the Minister rolling in on his wheelchair. D'aw! "Helloooooo Minister! Help yourself to anything you like." Everything was on her. Weren't they lucky?
Was that everyone? Delphine glanced down at her watch. Well, even if it wasn't the others were going to have to deal with being late. Tut tut. So, standing up, the woman threw her arms out wide before saying, "Hellooooooo Minister and employees! I take it everyone is well? Had a nice break? Ready to get back into the jobs you all love?" Her voice boomed out across the room because guess what? She liked to be heard, it was as simple as that. And she didn't understand the meaning of 'quiet'.
"The point of this meeting," There was no point. "is for us to get to know one another before we all get caught up in the kerfuffle of our work schedules. So, I want you each to go around and introduce yourselves and tell me one or more interesting facts about yourselves."
And she was going to start! "I am Delphine Cavanagh, your Senior Undersecretary and.......... I collect historical artefacts. Lots of them. Especially the darker and more forbidden ones." Which was why her office looked like a museum. And museums were GREAT, thank you.
Taking a seat again, she called out, "NEXT!"
