Woah..."I'm sorry--repeat your name, dear?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Die-chi?" did she hear that right? "Merlin, why do all of you have such hard names?!" She supposed his name might be more...of a different culture, but STILL. How was she expected to remember all these odd names?! It was simply TOO MUCH to ask of her, in her opinion.
Ahem.
"And no, you're certainly not mistaken. I am the Transportation Head. Media liaison is important, too, I assure you." In case he felt inadequate next to her or anything. 
Well, wasn't that lovely of him. And friendly. Very good manners. "Aren't you just adorable..." she smirked in that Lynley, condescending way, and crossed her arms over her chest as she slowed her pace. Her heels clacked with each step. "And very polite, too." Where was she getting at? Lynley didn't even KNOW. But she suddenly took a liking to this kid, and she wouldn't hesitate to gain an ally, ever. Allies were important in this political game.
Daichi too spotted the picture of the current minister for magic and looked at it.
“He’s nice, bit …odd..but what great leader isn’t odd” wait, he had been odd. Everyone had told him that, but in a good way AND he had been a leader at school. Woah.
“Please don’t tell him that?” he asked, scratching the back of his brownish haired head and laughed sheepishly.
Was his name that difficult for people to pronounce? It wasn’t that hard , he thought.
“Y-yes, die-chi…” he said
“It’s not that difficult…” he mumbled, looking sideways at the portraits.
“At least you got it right at the first try. I’ve spend my school years being called “chi-chi by one of my Quidditch Captains. And Duck Boy by the whole school because I like ducks….do you like ducks? They’re amazingly cool and cute aren’t they?” say yes O_____O
“Of course my job is important as well, what? you think that I would keep things rolling here for nothing?. Attending conferences, being a spokesman for the media, checking in with the department heads, reporting to the senior secretary and the minister himself from time to time…….that..that sounded so rude I am SO sorry!”
Mweeeeh he did not like being called adorable. He was passed that stage now. He was cool, and macho, and a MANLY MAN. But everyone still saw him as “adorable”. He cleared his throat, trying to turn his attention away from his cheeks as they began to fill with color and straightened his tie. He was polite though, he could go with polite.
“right, uhm…follow me…” and he walked in the completely wrong direction.
