He almost wished he hadn't when her rambling almost led to the speaking of the dreaded nickname in public. He'd even closed his eyes and dropped his head in preparation, thankful when Ember didn't finish saying Mimi. Merlin he'd be embarrassed if she had.

"I'm not as enthusiastic about it as Ember, then again I'm not sure anyone is as enthusiastic about anything as she is," Mitya said, gazing fondly at her. "But I do like it here, which is something considering I've worked at a few other Ministry's." He wouldn't add that he actually liked the Russian Ministry more, that should be a given though since Russia was home. Still, Britain came a close second. "You'll definitely be fine in Games and Sports though, your Department Head's quite nice." Or at least she had always been so when they spoke. Speaking of.

"Mariel, you look lovely tonight," Dmitry greeted as the woman made her way over to them. She was certainly one of the more dressed up people at this event. Still, it made Mitya feel a little less ridiculous for having worn a suit to an event that was more casual then he'd been expecting. "You did, we got engaged not long before Christmas," Mitya confirmed proudly. "Thank you. How are your family?" If Dmitry remembered correctly Mariel was definitely married and there were a few children.

He would also have introduced Autumn to her but she took care of that herself. Still he added, "Autumn was just telling us how excited she was to start working in Games and Sports," just in case Mariel didn't recognise the girls name. He assumed she would but it was always nice for a Department Head to be aware of the fact that an employee was actually excited about their future job.

"I am in Creatures...the good ole' Level Four," she beamed. "I work with pests. LEAD pest removal officer, right here!" A higher job than she'd had before, and she was GRATEFUL, yes! "So I make sure the baby pests...when we remove them...are treated well and properly and not just thrown away or killed or something awful like that." It wasn't like a muggle exterminator or anything...nope. That made Ember positively SHIVER.

"Games and Sports! That's nice!" Ember had zero interest in sports, but that was still cool! They still took hard work, lots of planning from the behind the scenes, and just..gah! She admired athletes for their dedication. She beamed over at Mimi. "I just...love life, is all." It was something she had started telling people if they asked why she was so damn chipper all the time. Because she loved life!

Mariel! It was Mariel! Ember waved eagerly at the Department Head. "Hi there, Mariel--yes, this is one of your employees! Autumn! She's really excited to be here and working for you!" Ember said, bouncing a little on the balls of her feet. She laced her fingers around Dmitry's....and might have made a face, for half of a split second, when he complimented Mariel...only because she didn't remember if he had complimented her tonight.

How petty, Ember.

Don't be so damn petty, gosh, Brighten. She emptied her thoughts of the negativity...and just...tried to smile.

"And I have to say you look quite nice yourself." It was nice to see that there were still some people that knew the importance of putting one's best foot forward. Men should wear suits to Ministry functions in her opinion, but that again went back to her wishing they still had formal events. "Jorge and the children are doing quite well, thank you for asking." She always appreciated when someone showed a genuine interest in her family, though she did wish her husband had been able to attend. Not that she blamed him for not wanting to. "I can't believe Alejandro will be two next month already."

Yes, so she had heard correctly about the engagement. How was it that she never realized that the two were ever dating? Must have been her strict policy on keeping out of gossip and personal lives, but she still couldn't help but think the were the two most opposite people to ever get together. "I guess I never connected the dots," she said lightly before smiling wider at the two of them. "But that is wonderful news. Have you set a date yet?" Ember.. that was the woman's name. Mariel knew she'd remember eventually or else it would come up in conversation. She simply radiated excitement, which the Department Head remembered to be a regular occurrence. But Ember had every reason to be excited and she didn't even find it all that annoying this time.

Green eyes shifted to the young woman that she did not know and, just as she thought her name was familiar, her thoughts were confirmed. She was indeed one of her new employees. Mariel glanced at Dmitry and Ember as they both noted how excited Autumn was to be the newest member of Games and Sports. "Well, that's great to hear," she said, turning back to Autumn with a smile. "It's always good to have eager people in the department. We do a lot of hard work on Level Seven." She extended her arm to offer her hand to shake. "Mariel De La Garza. I'm the Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports." As in, her new boss.

Emily Browne, head of the MLE. Autumn took a mental note to not get on the wrong side of her. Though … the Gryffindor side of her made her want to learn more about the woman and see what she was like. "Thanks for letting me know, buuut why?" She asked Dmitry. Was she really fierce? She laughed as he said nobody was as enthusiastic about anything as his fiancée was and the beamed as she said she loved life. The girl had known Ember for a very short time, but she could tell that much. "Oooh, where else have you worked at?" She nodded at his comment that her department head was quite nice, feeling nervous again.

Oooh, Creatures! That was cool. She liked animals, not as much as sports or people, but to a certain extent. Pests, though. To be honest, Autumn did not care much about them. As a matter of fact, she did not even know that there were officers taking care of them. "Is it hard? Working with pests?" She asked in interest.

She quietly noted that the new arrival was called Mariel. Wait, that name sounded familiar … as if to confirm her thoughts, the couple introduced her as the woman's employee. It was her boss person! Her department head! The nice one, according to Dmitry. "Yes, I'm excited! I mean, it's such a pleasure to meet you." She said and shook the woman's hand. Oh and thanks to the two of you for making her appear as a super eager newbie.
