 *sighs* I'm sooo sorry for not getting back sooner on this, =( YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
Tilting her head to the side slightly, Lorraine blinked slowly as she took in the woman's features. Serious brunette, but yet playful too. This was definitely a woman who knew who to get her work done. She was sure the woman also enjoyed critical thinking and analytical mindset, as opposed to not. Oh yes, after fifteen plus years in the field, Lorraine had gotten quite good with reading people.
Not to mention that she'd been reading Teal since even longer. But naturally that was a given. He was after all, her best friend. That was besides the point though, since she had not seen Teal in awhile. Though she knew he must be busy what with Cy and then work (even she was feeling the strain of the election).
No, she definitely had not been informed of a new liaison and she was sure that the shock of her not knowing was a shock to the young woman. There had always been a communication lapse in the Ministry though; even when she first started so many years ago. But that she had grown used to since it never really caused problems before. Which wasn't really a good excuse because Lorraine did also know that all it took was just ONE mistake for everything to come tumbling down.
"Oh, it's okay then," the department head replied, listening with rapt interest about how the new liaisn had not been in the UK since Hogwarts. Just how young was she!?!

"Well then, it is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Thatcher," Lorraine spoke again, pursing her lips together lightly and nodding subtly in return. "Or would you perhaps prefer Amber?" Yes. She was definitely feeling the creases at the corners of her eyes now. A woman of near forty should not be allowed to work with people half her age; particularly other women.
But nonetheless, proper manners dictated that she should invite her into her office. Especially since she was apparently supposed to have questions for her. Though she hadn't the slightest idea what. "So, would you care to join me in my office?" Lorraine finally offered, extending her hand past and murmuring the passcode, as the door then swung open. Gesturing for Amber to enter first, Lorraine simply waited before she would follow after...
