She fidgeted slightly, unsure of what to do with her arms. She tried crossing her hands in front of her and an awkward position with them half on her hips before dropping them to her sides casually. There.
Well weren't the people on Level four just so polite? Now THAT she liked, that she liked a lot. The thirty one year old smiled back at the smile that had been directed towards her. "
Thank you Carley" she looked around at the lack of chairs in her office. They seemed to have been all occupied by the people in her office. "
Accio Chairs" Erica muttered and low and behold, a further few chairs appeared in front of her desk and the Blonde nodded her head at it, indicating for Carley to sit.

"You too" Erica smiled softly as the first visitor to her office decided it would be best to create a little space in her office.
"I greatly look forward to working with you" she replied. "
The door is always open" she replied at her comment about asking questions. And that went for everyone on her department. If ever they had a question they just come straight here and ask it.

She just didn't know what that boss would be like.
Should she knock and wait, or just enter? She decided to make a compromise. She was a Division Head, after all.
She rapped her knuckles loudly on the wood of the door, and then gently opened it a crack, trying not to make too much of a disturbance. Just in case.
She poked her head into the room. It was already somewhat full. All righty then.
"Hello," she said. "May I come in?"
Ohh.
There came ANOTHER knock, well that was a good job that one person had left the office, made a lot more space for any further visitors. Which as it seems, half the department wanted to come and meet her. So VERY polite.
"Of course you can" she Erica replied to the question directed at her. She was yet to meet any of the Division Heads, hopefully there was one somewhere.
Her head nodded over at the now empty chair right in front of her.

Everything about the place was just so different. The ministry in the Caribbean certainly had a more exotic feel to it, this one was just so, so rigid looking, but she suppose it would maybe suit her. She had often gotten a bit annoyed with how layed back the other ministry was.
She straightened her dark blue work robes and knocked on the door. Hopefully the woman was in.
Just as expected, yet another visitor. Well at first this was not what she had expected. She had just thought of a quiet arrival, a few introductions made here and there and eventually everyone would realise but this she adored.
"Come in, the doors open" her voice rang out again to be heard through the door. "
Just find an empty seat" there was a reflection of laughter within her tone.

Emerald want to do it not because she wants her to like her, but she wants to do it because that's just the basic manners. She was taught well of manners when she was young. And she never forgets them.
Emmy knocked on the door three times. That's another rule her mother taught her and her sisters. Three. Not four, not five. Three.
She was so ashamed of herself when she didn't knock the door on the former department head. But now, she's not gonna make the same mistake again. She's going to do it right.
Three more knocks?
Was this the last visitor or was there going to be more? Erica gave a smile at everyone in the office, picked up a few pieces of paper and quickly filed them before answering the last knock.
"Come straight in" she called out once more loud enough for anyone in the corridor to hear. What was the harm of one more visitor eh?
