"I assure you!"

The last thing he needed was this department head guy to go around saying he had found a sick MLE employee on the lifts. "What floor did you need?" he asked all caaaaasuallly.
"Errmm..." he said unconvinced that the man was alright. He continued to stand with one foot in the lift and one out until the lifts started to close on him and he had to make a choice. So into the lift he went. He took a deep breath and tried to convince himself that if something went wrong he still had his patronus... small comforts right?

"What?" he asked not having caught the man's question about floors. "Oh - Level 1. I have a meeting with the Senior Undersecretary." And as the doors closed he watched the man carefully out of the corner of his eye. "Sure you're alright?" he asked again. "You look like you're going to be sick. Maybe you should stop by the healer's station. I heard Healer Rastrick is quite good and discrete." Or at least his cousin Winnie thought highly of the man.
