Sweat.
Claudian turned around and plucked the writing instrument out of the air as though it were a flower and stared disappointingly at it's leaky nib. Busted! Merlin! He looked around to see if anyone was near enough to see the mess and whipped out his wand. Upon rounding the corner, Lexi found herself on the fourth floor corridor, a part of the Ministry she actually had yet to see. Sure, she was the Senior Undersecretary, but she was also newly-hired, which meant she was still trying to find her way around.
She glanced up just in time to see a slightly unfamiliar man holding his wand towards a piece of the carpet near his feet. She tried to see what he was aiming at---if anything---but she was just too far away to tell. "Hi," she called out, approaching him with a smile on her face. When she was close enough, she saw that he was cleaning up a few spots of ink that had spilled onto the carpet. "The joy of magic, hmm? I bet a muggle couldn't have gotten off that easily." She gave him a playful expression to let him know she spoke in a lighthearted manner.
"Oh, listen to me! I'm carrying on without having ever introduced myself. I'm Alexandra Carlton, the new Senior Undersecretary," she said. She'd extend her hand for a shake, but the man was slightly busy aiming his wand towards the ink spill.
