"Hello!" the dark-haired man returned her greeting with obvious enthusiasm, trying not to spill his coffee mug as he darted through the desks to meet THE Minister. "Madame - er - Minister Taylor! What a pleasure to... to see you here!" Rico was absolutely beaming as he reached out for a handshake. Or a bow. Was he supposed to bow now that she was Minister or something?

And they should get out of the waiting area already. Honestly, making THE Minister wait. That was ridiculous. "Please, come in, er... do you have time for a cup of coffee or anything? Can I get you something? Anything?"

Did Ministers even drink ordinary coffee? He actually wanted to ask why she had popped up so suddenly... well, somewhat suddenly... but that wasn't polite. A gentleman always remembered manners first.

Grinning at the introduction she was given, as she still hadn't quite gotten used to the difference in greetings since becoming Minister, Reagan replied, "Hello, Mr. Serio! Sorry to just drop in on you, but I was hoping I could have a word. And coffee would be lovely, thank you."

Minister Taylor continued to glance around, trying to follow the hustle and bustle of the workers. "You all seem very busy. I won't take up too much of your time."
