If she prolonged things any further, she'd be far too behind in her daily schedule of meetings.
Pulling out a chair at the end of the table, Allie turned to the team and said, "Well, hello there. First off, I appreciate all of you arriving here in a timely manner. We're actually waiting on two others, but I expect they'll be here shortly," she said. She grew silent as she took a seat and got herself settled. It wasn't that she expected to be here for a prolonged period of time, but she did want to be comfortably seated regardless.
"The purpose of today's meeting is to regroup ourselves as a team and begin the process of moving forward with a new Minister, myself, and a fairly new Department Head team," she continued, her eyes traveling the room as she spoke. "We've had a fair amount of changes in staff over the course of a year, and I'd like to take this time for everyone to get to know the members of the team they have yet to be introduced to."
"What I'd like for you to do now, if you haven't done so already, is to introduce yourself to those you're unfamiliar with. While you're doing that, Mr. Bole--a word with you, please?" she said, directing her attention to Evander.
Much like a student talking in class, Armen shushed quietly to himself and sat back in his chair with a small wave to Erica and the brunette that didn't answer and stared a few of the other joiners to the room as the Minister walked in. He had known Alex before the appointment of her new job but he felt suddenly very vulnerable around her.
He waited until all was quiet after Rex had spoken and before he began to introduce himself he darted an eye at the Minister and the shifty man from before then continued.
"Hello everyone, My name is Armen Recard and I am the Department Head of Magical Transportation. I first started the Ministery a few years ago and I was placed in the Apparation Division as a Apparation Licenser. I then was promoted by one of my predecessors to the Division Head of Portkeys. After proving myself adequate in my job I then replaced my old boss as Dept. Head of Level 6!" He spoke excitedly, he adored Transportation and hoped that some of the others would come visit him so he could show them his cool things.
He then ended with a playful grin and then waited for the others.
