"It's my job," She said with a dismissive shrug, casting a small cooling charm on her coffee before taking another sip. Ahh. That was better. Shaking her head, Alani rocked in her seat a bit and studied the new face. "No, I don't drink tea, so I didn't think to bring any." Didn't care to was more like it, but she supposed, since it was her job and all, she would try to care next time.

Sigh.

New people were making her work harder.

"I can get some next time. What's your name?" He could have hers after.

Bradley gave smiles to everyone around the room but didn't really say much, the shyness has crept in! He did reply to Ashley though with a "Yes thank you, how about yourself" before settling in with just sitting and waiting.

He really wasn't good with small talk.

Then the coffee arrived, he didn't mind coffee but tea was much preferred and he was about to as for some when a new employee beat him too it. With a little smile he piped up, "I'll second that, thank you Howard" He turned his his direction to introduce himself, "I'm Bradley, its nice to meet you Howard." He would have done the whole and shake thing but was too far away.

"How bad does the explosion look Aliani?"
he then asked - ooh small talk! - to try and at least getting himself talking and the room less creepy silent.
Or he could have it now.

Howard, his first name or his last she wondered? Alani watched the interaction while enjoying her much-better-than-tea coffee, not repeating herself since she was sure he heard her response, but speaking up when she was spoken to. "I didn't get that great of a look, lots of smoke. I'd say it's pretty bad though, from what I heard in passing." She sipped her coffee again. Calm cool and collected, she wasn't worried about no explosions.

Speaking of labs exploding. "Oh, but Derek is back now so the rest should be coming back as well to let us know the damage." He looked as if he was taking this... as she expected him to.

Someone should get him a coffee. Iced.
