Today Becca had brought breakfast with her and was trying to make it up the stairs without spilling her tea everywhere, but it seemed like the world was out to get her because after she'd navigated her way around memos and random people who seemed determined to get in her way, she pretty much had to swerve around a clangy, clanky and loud guy who was going about his business. It wouldn't have been an issue if her tea hadn't gone flying.

Becca had instantly written the tea off as a lost cause and instead chose to save her morning oat muffin. It didn't take long to make, but it was the only one she had left from the batch she'd made and she was REALLY looking forward to it. Somehow, she managed to catch it before it had even slipped very far and cradled it. "I've got you, precious carrot and courgette muffin." Amazingly, it was an addictive taste, even though you had to get used to it first. Once she was sure it was safe, she looked up to see who had been the reason for her lost tea. "Oh, hello. I'm sure I know you. You're MLE?" She'd seen him at both the training and 'welcoming party' for the Ministry.

Simon could have sworn there had been enough clearance between him and the human forms he was passing, not wishing to be in anyone's way as he went about his own passage to get where he was going. But nevertheless, one encounter wasn't to go oh so smoothly as he came upon a somewhat familiar woman, his hands quickly moving to catch what was in her hands that went flying. At the hot liquid splashed against his skin, the security man gave a sharp intake of breath before managing to grasp the cup awkwardly. And somewhat remarkably still with some tea inside.

"Hello...um sorry about that," he apologized as he returned her greeting, and her cup. His attention no longer on flying items, Simon now fully registered just who he had accidentally bumped into. Of all the people...his boss' wife. Just his luck at the moment. "Yes, I am," he confirmed with a nod. "Simon Bennett," he introduced politely. The younger man would have offered a hand but hands being full had already caused enough issue.
