"I wouldn't mind at all. Straight to work is just fine by me." She commented, hearing that last part. Thea would have continued talking but... well.
She noticed a certain former colleague sitting right there. For some reason. Of course her demeanour changed immediately. Icy. Frosty. Whatever you wanted to call it, she directed it at Edvard.
"Can I help you?" She asked coolly, narrowing her eyes.
Edvard was sitting in one of the roundish couches reading a gossip magazine whilst some level 3 workers chatted somewhere to the left of him. When Althea entered the reception area the air shifted and the workers chatter quieted down. Ms Schrimer had always been able to fill up a room with her divine presence.
Feeling something icy directed at him with full force Edvard took his time and closed and folded the magazine before looking up at her.
"Good day Althea." Standing up he scooped up the bouquet of red roses and held them out towards her.
"These are for you. Congratulations on your new department head appointment!" Edvard said warmly and genuinely.
Um, stop looking like a frosty mage now, please?
