And lo and behold, the damsel-in-distress call had Acting Minister (and Senior Undersecretary) Fletcher on the move. He had started for Level One at a jog before he remembered that they were more or less at peacetime now, and so he needn't rush and risk adding a wrinkle to his suit.
Alas, the stress of this job was getting to him already. He could feel his blood pressure rising somewhat just as he neared Jake and… what’s her name, James. Right. This would be fine, it was no big deal, probably just something procedural that Charles would have overseen, maybe, were he in the right condition to do so.
“What do you need?” he stated first as he neared the pair of aurors, smoothing down his tie and then his vest, a nervous habit as of late, but one which made him look as though he had, in fact, hurried. “I mean, hey, hi, how’s it going, thank you both for continuing to work here in such tumultuous times.” The ever-charming Glitterpuff did his best to smile at his former classmates and Ms. James, but it fell a bit short of the kind of smile that truly reached the eyes. There was too much tension here and Fletcher could sense it, even if he was unaware that the cause was in the holding cell behind them.
As for the tea/coffee discussion he'd just walked in on? "None for me, thanks." He had Kaiser for that.
