O______o

"Madame Lafay?" he asked shocked to see that she was practically hanging onto the Minister calling him....Captain. *shiver*

Pulling himself together quickly he addressed her once more. "Sorry about that I just...didn't expect to see you here. I had no idea you were with Minister Greingoth here." he said forcing a smile onto his face. He grinned painfully again at the mention of him being an Errand Boy again. "I do what I am told, what can I say?" he played it off as politeness but he could tell that was a jab.

Did Greingoth know what all this woman had pawned out of her kitchen in the past?


Occasionally, Alexander glanced at Recard out of the corner of his eye. The man was meant to be on his best behavior--his very best behavior. So far, the man seemed to be doing a top notch job as a waiter. Alexander wasn't buying anything from the man right now, though. He had months to go before he could maybe prove himself again.

Hearing the words Madame Lafay, Alexander turned back to the man with a raise of his eyebrows. "Well, ...now you know," he said with a grin. He'd explain things a bit further, but it seemed like his fiancee had already done a fair enough job of that. She'd given the man all he needed to know. "Well, Recard, far be it from me to hold you up. With all the people here tonight, it looks like you've got your work cut out for you." He pat the man on the back again. "See you around, Recard."

Then on that note, he left the entrance hall and walked into the ballroom.

She clapped her hands together in a polite golf clap for the two. "And thank you for that lovely introduction. I just thought it would be proper for me to thank you for allowing me the honor of being here this evening. If the decor is any indication, then I do believe that the Ministry is in very good hands." They were very impressive.

She then turned her crystal gaze on the woman beside him, she really was a terrifying beauty. No wonder she had caught the attention of Mr. Greingoth. "A professor, why that is a very fine profession," Abigail said with a twinkle of pride in her eye. "The youth of today become the great minds of tomorrow. You must find the job very rewarding." She herself had considered teaching as a profession at one point, but politics had caught her attention right after graduation from school.


Before officially walking further into the ballroom, Alexander again turned to their special guest from the American Ministry. She seemed to be enjoying herself, and Alexander thought it well and fine that she'd been able to make herself at home. "Well, thank you, Mrs. Kaufman," he said, turning to smile at his fiancee as the American Department Head congratulated them on their engagement.

"The decor is remarkable, isn't it?" he commented. Magical Maintenance had set it up, and they'd done a wonderful job as far as he was concerned. He made a mental note to mention this to them sometime later. "I'll just be the ballroom looks exquisite, as well. I'm heading inside now, so you just make yourself at home. I'll send for you when it's time for the official welcoming."

He gave her a polite nod as a means of saying goodbye and then turned in the direction of the ballroom.

Woman. Approaching the Captain. And just as she was about to get her claws out when Alexander introduced her. Hecate's face softened and she offered her hand to the woman. "Pleased to meet you, Ms. Kaufman."


Alexander smirked in amusement. The last thing Recard looked at the moment was happy, and he was pretty sure Hecate knew that, as well. "He hates it," he remarked. "He's only holding on, because he hopes to be reinstated into his former position." He shook his head. "He's got months before he can possibly prove himself, though. Maybe even a year or so..."

Enough about Recard, though. With his fiancee at his side, the least of Alexander's worries was Armen Recard and whether or not the man enjoyed his current position. "Why don't we head inside?" he suggested. "We can stand at the entrance all evening, but there's a dance floor just waiting for us." He wasn't really one to enjoy dancing itself, but he'd enjoy it with Hecate.

Smiling at her, he turned and headed toward the ballroom.

Hmm, where to begin? It wasn't like he had made a lot of friends. Perhaps now would be a good time to start...after a drink, of course.


"Andrei," he said, noticing that the Advisor was now chatting away with another employee. "Good to see you here." It seemed as if it'd been a while since he'd seen the man, and it made Alexander proud to see his own employees attending. "Maybe I'll see you in the ballroom sometime later, hmm? Have a good evening."

With one last glance around the entrance hall, he opened another set of doors and entered the ballroom.
