She began to gather her lunch and just sighed. "Well it's just FINE, I suppose." She haughtily accepted his apology. "I'm...I'm Lynley Purcell, new Transportation Head." She held out her hand for him to shake. "I'm sorry we had to meet on such....circumstances." Since this was clearly his fault, but she was TRYING to be nice, she thought "circumstance" was a good word choice.

Merlin.

People these days.
Did this woman just snort? Charles fixed her with a piercing stare. "It's my job to know about these things." Who was this woman anyway? She seemed to be a cynical, prissy woman. Charles didn't much like her for looking down at him.

Oh, she was the transport head? Again, he bit back a suggestion that would likely end up with her walking away in a huff and shook her hand. "Charles Taylor, Ambassador-at-large and division head." Yes, so none of this rank stuff. It didn't work with him. He'd dined with Kings and Queens and had advised Ministers, a woman in heels didn't scare him, even if she WAS a department head. "There is really no need to make small talk if it is physically painful to be polite." Yes, he'd noticed her attitude toward his apology for HER mistake. Who even wore heels that high and expected to be balanced for the entirety of the day???
