Not only was this a major breach in security, it was also faulty international diplomacy and poor relations - why, the Japanese Minister was stuck to his seat or something! It was hard for Rico to see what was going on but he could tell there was going to be hell to pay at work in the coming weeks.
Now the problem was what to do? Clearly, it wasn't safe here but Rico honestly didn't feel threatened, he felt...angry for whoever had let this happen. Seriously, I hate planning parties and stuff and some doofus just came in here and messed up all of our months of preparation....!
He sighed and stuck his hands in his pockets, looking towards Angelina. She looked even more outraged than Rico did. "Er, Angelina," Rico said quietly, "should we stay or go....? We could help...if there's anything I can do....."
Well that might've sounded lame but he didn't know what to say, honestly. Security was all over the place and clearly Angelina's loyalties were to the Minister; Pablo didn't look like he was going anywhere in a rush so now Rico was just on his own. Nothing new there.
Nathan had been sat on the toilet for the past half an hour (45 minutes?) reading the paper and trying to put off going back into the extremely long and boring tedious ceremony. Better to be sat on the bog than to nod off and look like (more of) an idiot in front of your colleagues.
He shoved his hands in his pockets and hummed a muggle tune to himself as he sauntered casually back to hall. He paused in the doorway. His lucid emeralds widened as they bore witness to the chaotic scene and panicking Ministry staff. He made a face clearly annoyed with himself... trust Nate to be on the loo at a time like this!
He went further into the hall in search of the staff from his department, seeing no one except for Edward and Forrester who were up on the stage together with...
Egypt? Merlin's
pants! What on earth was she thinking running about in her (potential) condition? She looked, unsurprisingly, rather stressed by the whole thing. There was no sign of the other Aurors or Nicoli or Nathan's MLES colleagues.
He couldn't see any sign of anything which could have caused such panic among the Ministry staff. His eyes landed on the familiar face of Angelina and her gentleman friend whom had been sitting near to he and Egypt throughout the ceremony. He made his way sheepishly over to them.
“Er.. what is going on?” He asked them slightly hesitantly just waiting for a cutting remark from Angelina about how, indeed, it should be his job to know what was going on.
