He stood up and gulped a nice amount of OJ to clear his throat, "Ahhh, Mr." he got to remember his name, or at least his last name. Think DH. Think. It got to do something with a day of the week. Friday? Aha! He almost jumped when he remembered "Mondai. We are just starting the small party." he said gesturing for him to come.
He led him to the table. "Actually, we are getting hungry and I conjured up a small snack. But I think I got over board and done a small party." he said then winked at him.
"Oh, don't tell anybody" he said and smiled.
He wanted to make his employees feel at ease with his presence around. After all he had heard that the Planet Room had been without a Head before he was placed in it.
DH cleared his throat and nodded, "So, as for the reason I continued to have this small get together, is that I wanted to know you all more and to celebrate the first task that we have finished together." he then looked around hoping the others saw the spark he had made earlier.
He looked at Adam and said, "Dig in, lets not waste our time. And after this, we will do the paperworks" he said with giggles.
Adam half smiled as DH paused before saying his last name, Adam was hardly surprised that the Division Head hadn't remembered it right away. They had only met once and it had been very brief, Adam had taken his holiday early as his little sister had become ill and he was the only one who could've cared for her.
"I'm sorry for taking such a long leave of absence, but there was some personal things I needed to take care of, as for me mentioning the party? You won't have to worry about that, sir," Adam replied, still standing before DH with a small grin. He nodded to Elizabeth whom, he'd met previously and looking around for something besides orange juice to drink.
"I'm afraid I don't have much information regarding the current study, sir, if someone would get me up to speed, then I'd be happy to assist with the filing," Adam added, fining some tea on the table and pouring himself a cup.
