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.

Claudian turned in time to hear a witch enter the corridor and he sent his wand wibble-wobbling in the middle of a semi-startled toss. He caught it mid-air and re-aimed it at the trail of spots on the ground. "Hello." He turned and smiled towards her before turning back to his mess, shaking his head for the apparent sloppiness and tergeo'ing the inky blotts that had followed him to the corridor.

"You'd think I was a muggle child trying to escape from a witch's candied home. Honestly, I don't know how they function without so much as a single cleaning charm. Must've grabbed the wrong quill." He held the quill, nib-side-up and tried a repairing charm on it. "Just don't tell th..."

Senior Undersecretary???

Uhm, Whoops.

Yea, wouldn't want her to think that I was a careless, sloppy, liar or anything. With his wand, he got the last of the ink spots, gave Miss Carlton a slightly embarrassed grin and took her hand into his for a handshake. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Carlton. I'm Claudian Slughorn, Minister Taylor's assistant. Welcome to the Ministry."

The magic of first impressions was clearly at work here. He continued to smile and tried not to look unprofessional in front of the new face that had just joined them.
