"Armen! Armen come on in! Stop dallying there in the entrance and letting all my heat out!" Lord and Minister Borr was not as young as he once was, though age never slowed the great man down. He required more heat these days though and his office was stifling warm inside.

The Minister was shoeless with his feet miraculously balanced on the surface of his desk. "You're right on time, as I would EXPECT of YOU. BEST DEPARTMENT HEAD IN THE MINISTRY! Come here, Sir, sit close." With the heat and Lord Borr's feet, the office was smelling particularly "Borrish" today.

"I'll have my nails clipped while we talk," the Minister waved at a pair of clippers that resembled garden shears on his desk, then to his brown socks. THE BEST DEPARTMENT HEAD would not sit idly around chatting, no, he would work on Lord Borr's foot grooming while they chatted. Like the Minister, Armen Recard's work was never done. "Start off with the update from your Apparition class with those bumbling MLE louses."
