Next time try and hide though, okay?" she winked playfully. Ms Radley could be serious, but she wasn't cold hearted, she knew how to joke with someone.
"At the moment we are just settling in to the new Environment. No one here has a specific assignment to do. As I have already said, if you have paperwork to fill out, unfinished business, as LONG as it is in relation to the Ministry I am happy for you to do this. If not then please feel free to do a little studying or back ground research, you can never know enough on your job. I recommend taking out a book on spirits and communication, not every spirit is friendly natured, as a junior officer you are expected to learn on the job" she smiled softly. "If you really can't find anything to do, come back and I'll grab you something" she grinned. Maybe she could send her down to Mysteries for a discussion there.

Ms Radley glanced around at all the employees with a simple nod before walking into the creature holding room and accidentally leaving the door wide open.

Ren'Ai mentally shook her head and smiled attentively at Miss Radley.
"You. Are. An. Idiot, Ren'Ai. Sakura. Kirai. her "inner" screamed mentally.
"I understand. Thank you" she said, and muttered
"Arigato" in her mind. She couldn't just forget her first language, now could she? Exactly. She smiled a bit wider at the playful wink Miss Radley gave her.
Ren nodded. She did have a few papers from the Japanese government she had to deal with. But she could fill that out later, alone.
"Yes, Arigato--I mean, thank you, Miss Radley" she said, nervously chuckling.
"What did I just say? You're an idiot, Ren! Pull. Yourself. Together!" Her "inner" shouted at her in her head.
Like she would listen to her true self. Psssh.

Ren watched from the corner of her eye as a green lizard-type thing ran out. She shifted her feet a little, glancing back at the floor. O dear. Great, now she sounded like Callum. Or Justin. Or both.
