It was his turn to blink as she explained that Department Heads in the United States actually...hung out? "Oh, you meant THAT kind of get together. Then I revise my previous statement. The extent of our 'get together' has been being in the conference room discussing business and stuff." He reached for a cracker.
"But, I like this foreign concept of getting together. Tell me more?" Eyes narrowed in concentration, Lexi just nodded along as Chad explained the situation surrounding the Quidditch World Cup. Although it still made her a little uneasy to think of an employee threatening a Department Head, it made a little more sense now that she'd heard the whole story. It was also something that definitely didn't require an increase in security, too, so that was a plus. "Ahh, I see," she remarked. "Well, it seemed everyone knew everyone and had relationships away from work, too. I just...sort of...thought it'd be the same here," she admitted. She'd actually been looking forward to the first big Ministry get-together. For a moment, a hint of sadness---homesickness, maybe---flickered across her face. It was gone a moment later, though. "Well, I'm sure I'll be happy just the same." On that note, she smiled, just to ensure herself that she'd made the right decision in relocating across the pond and coming to work here at the British Ministry of Magic.
