With a smile at each person, she cast a quick glance around. 'Please, don't mind me,' she told them, unable to spot anything out of the ordinary. One hand still clenched around her wand, she pursed her lips. She couldn't find anything out of the ordinary, and with the people already in here it didn't seem likely there would be, anyway. A quick, wordless spell from the wand tucked in her pocket allowed her to see the few things she couldn't, but nothing there seemed wrong either.
With a polite nod to each of them, she retreated from the room, satisfied. Alina looked over Edward's shoulder where she had been hugging him, to see someone looking around the division. She returned their smile, and nodded at their words. She assumed it was to do with the Convention, and let them get on with it. It didn't seem to take too long though, and Alina returned to the guys. Or at least she was going to, except she saw a familiar face... Quote:

But he never did that. He sighed, "Just tidy up. Foreign Ministers. My department. Now." "Theo!" Alina said, with a broad smile lighting up her face. In some ways she missed working right outside her husband's office, but it made it all the better when he popped in to see her. She stood back from Edward, before noting a slight change in Theo's expression. Her smile faltered slightly, as she realised how he might have just perceived her hugging Edward. Bother. She thought he'd gone past that stage.
She looked at him honestly and sincerely, hoping Theo would get the point that there was nothing there. And hoped at the same time he wouldn't think about making any sort of scene with Brian there as well. She didn't know how much of the background the liason knew, afterall. "I wouldn't exactly say it was messy," she said, stacking a couple of files as she did so. Okay, it was messy for Alina's usual standards, but for most people it was relatively neat.
Satisfied her desk looked a little less covered in reports and files, Alina walked slowly to her husband. "Anything else need sorting?" she asked, eyebrows slightly raised.
