The idea intrigued her, and for a moment, she allowed her thoughts to drift away as she pictured herself as the focal point of some magazine cover.

"Which...," she started to ask, but Martel had beaten her to that. Her head turned from Martel to a nearby copy of Witch Weekly, and then she turned back to him with a rather shocked expression. "Witch..." Which and witch seemed to be the only two words that she could form at the moment, for some reason. She supposed shock had a lot to do with that, though.

She didn't have much time to think any further about being on the cover of Witch Weekly, though, as Martel had already changed topics and moved on to something else. "Oh, yes...very busy and very important. Right," she remarked. "...and will this man be by to join uhh---..." The word us was cut short when the sudden presence of an Eagle Owl distracted the Minister from the previous discussion.

Seeing as the chair the owl had landed on wasn't too far from Allie, she rose from her chair and detached the letter from the owl. She offered the owl one of the Olympus' premium owl treats before completely turning her attention to the letter. She was silent as she read it, and when she was done, she offered it to Martel. "...an interview." Another one, apparently. First a magazine, and now a...newspaper reporter? Hadn't she seen Kingsley's name in an edition of The Daily Prophet?

Martel just smiled kindly, eyes fixed on the Minister as she grasped what he'd been talking about, and then an owl arrived and he watched her read it, expression growing more intent. When she passed him the letter he relaxed and skimmed over it.

"Ah yes. The Daily Prophet I believe? My my, folk are curious are they not?" He asked, almost rhetorically. "You must of course, accept the interview offer. We shall invite her for dinner, make her feel welcome. Do you not agree, Minister Carlton? She sounds like a dear and it is no secret why I'm here to help you after all."

No secret at all. Not at all.

He reached out and touched the Minister's shoulder, as if reaffirming a connection.

"And as for our friend, yes he shall, in due time. When you most need him. But I suppose we need to get such necessities as this, this publicity, out of the way first. We're an open book, are we not, Minister Carlton? We have no secrets from our public. We work in their best interest after all." He continued smoothly, hypnotically.
