She was beginning to feel better already, what with one of the division heads talking to her already.
Score! Laura had guessed right on target. Of course, she did have a little clue seeing her sit in the Apparations section of the room. Hehe. And of course, Ingrid was right on cue with welcoming her new employee. Laura smiled and said,
"I leave you in Ingrid's capable hands, then! And once again, welcome!" before backing away to the others again. Yep! Ingrid was division head of Apparations, so she was more than capable of handling new employees. Especially since Laura was still relatively new at the whole thing. XD

If Laura was looking for pets though then maybe she could get some pet advice.
Laura nodded.
"I hear ya. What about a cat? They require less maintenance than dogs," she suggested. Ahh cats. Leave them some food and water, go to work, and come home to a nice snuggly welcome.
"They mostly take care of themselves. Just have to replace the food and litter and voila!" Dogs and cats were very generic pets, though. Laura wasn't sure if Ingrid was looking for something more out of the box.
"Yep, koi," she said with a nod.
"It's a fish. They're popular in Asia, I think." Pretty little things, too/ "I desperately want to put them in a pond out in the garden, and I've already got a few pointers from a man I know up in Magical Creatures." Just need to find a place that sold the fish! Expensive they were, indeed.
