She would have been courteous if it weren't for the mist.[...]

Vale’s hand instinctively reached out to steady the female who had bumped into him. ”Reste là bas – steady on there," he said, offering what he hoped was charming and comforting smile, while his mind was trying to figure out what exactly had these people all been doing?

Vale pulled his hand back holding both hands up near his head in the universal sign for not meaning any harm. He had merely been trying to help. Apparently his help was not appreciated. ”Pardonne-moi,” he said simply. He kept his mouth shut, despite the urge to add that he had just been trying to help. He tried to remind himself that she, whoever she was, was probably not upset with him so much as…whatever was going on…right?

Though that really went without saying. Flourishing his wand, Charles produced a silvery opossum from the tip of his wand that went immediately scampering off towards St. Mungo's - no time to waste in going through the systematic hierarchy of using the on-call phone at the healer station. They owed him a personal favor anyway.

"Monsieur Roux, if you would please make your way to level 5. I am sure they are waiting your arrival there." Here was not where his assistance was required. "Ol---" Just as he was about to rattle off a few more instructions, the persistent little note that had been following him and his pacing around managed to flutter right in front of the Minister's face and folded neatly over his nose and eyes like a blindfold.

Valentine had been about to turn away and go back to the cart for his cappuccino, leaving the ministry workers to work through whatever this was when a) the Minster himself arrived and b) an employee started spilling her guts about the events. Valentine wasn’t dumb and he sure wasn’t about to wander away from what appeared to be very interesting information.

Ropes…bubble head charms…things grabbing at them…grounds? Where exactly had these people gone? What had they done? What had the British Ministry done now? He wondered if there was anything he should be concerned about? Anything he should report back to his superiors in France. He glanced around at the ragged group, thinking about how they all looked like they could use a drink. His attention was brought back to the Minister as a corporal patronus shot off in a streak of silver-light.

And then, the Minister was….was he – dismissing him?! Valentine raised a well groomed eyebrow at the man, clearly not afraid to show his displeasure to the man. He glanced down at his wristwatch and noted he still had about 20 minutes before he was supposed to meet with Monsieur Phora and his new rep. But Valentine was no fool and clearly he was being repudiated. Making a sweeping bow, both hands out, Vale said, ”As you wish Ministre.” He was apparently not going to get that cappuccino. Very well, office sludge it was. He tried not to make a face as he walked off.
