Then she had gestured towards the food and could see that she had bought a LOT of food and was clearly trying to get people to eat it, which Laurel could understand; less food to have to worry about bringing home. So to help out Laurel said kindly,"Well then I must try some of these brownies now shouldn't I?", which was then followed by a light chuckle as she reached out towards the supply of food, picking up a plate. Laurel then picked up one of those brownies and placed it on the plate, and then grabbed a cup of juice.
Before she knew it Ella had walked over to a table and had gestured for her to sit. Laurel smiled again and walked towards the table and sat beside her, making sure not to spill the juice or drop the plate. After successfully sitting, Laurel placed the cup down on the table and then picked up the brownie bringing it to her lips, and then she took a bite into the chocolate dessert. Her hazel eyes widened, and she looked over at Ella fanning herself. She swallowed the bite before saying excitedly,"Oh wow, they are amazing!" She then collected herself laughing a little nervously,"Sorry.." Ella nodded towards the brownies and Laurel. "They do look delicious. Maybe I'll have one for dessert." If she wasn't too full, that is. She had already eaten quite a bit of fettuccine alfredo, though, so maybe it would have to wait. Ella grinned at Laurel, as it was quite obvious that the brownie was good.
"So, Laurel. Have you worked in the Ministry long?" Just out of curiosity and wanting to get to know her employees better.

Ha, this lady was so NICE. Kensi could appreciate nice people. And not like, I'm so naive...and so innocent and nice blahblahblah but like just a nice person. Because that other type of nice...well, Kensi could get annoyed with that.
Very much so.
And brownies? Sure..Kensi made a grab for one immediately...stopped, but then continued..ah, well, she DID say she could have one..right? She took a bite and smiled. "This is good. I like my sweets..." and chocolate. And maybe Kensi would even grab a coffee...she was going to need some for dealing with Dacs after her break...
She glanced at who Ella was talking to...Sky! Her partner for the most recent case...! She almost spit out her brownies when she asked if they were related...but she merely chuckled and swallowed before talking. "Oh. no...I'm American..." she couldn't tell by my awesome accent? she wondered, but then again...Kensi didn't really notice accents..."And my whole family's ginger..." she pointed her hair. Pretty much all of them were redheaded awesomeness. Yep. Glorious? Ella gave Kensi an amused smile. "I suppose you could call it that. But you can't have glory without responsibility. Which is mostly what I have as a department head." Just saying. And that was the responsibility to keep everything in the department and the magical creatures running smoothly. It wasn't a simple task, and she was learning that quickly.

Its great to meet new people especially if there from a different department." Sky glanced over at Kensi her eyes widened a bit. "No! Caroline and I are! Were twins!" She said as she pulled her sister closer to her. She chuckled as she heard Kensi. "And I am British..." She loved being British it was fun...to her. "My mum's the only redhead so..." She smirked it was funny her mum was the only redhead...girl. Turning her attention to Sky again, Ella returned the smile. "Thanks for coming! I just wanted to meet as many people as possible so I don't feel as lost." She let out a small laugh. It was a smart idea to throw a party. A smart idea that Ella was proud of.
Okay, she sooooo got confused there. Ella blinked a few times and looked back and forth between Kensi and Sky and then Caroline, who Sky was actually related to. Ella shook her head and waved her hands. "I have met so many people today, I think my brain is going to fry." Whoops. How embarrassing. Obviously, Sky and Caroline were twins. Duh.

"Just about a year now." Serafina replied to the other woman's question. "My husband received a position at St. Mungos which is the reason for our move here from Italy." Though she was sure the woman was well aware of her move, if not from her accent then from her files.
"I held the position of Department Head of Magical Creatures at the Italian Ministry for several years." So like, hey! They had something in common. That was rare. "If I may ask, how did you make it here?" As in, where had she gone to school? What sort of jobs did she have beforehand? She was just curious and enjoyed intellectual talk. Setting her fork down, so as not to be rude while Serafina was talking, Ella nodded slowly and listened to her speak. She had read her file, but she had also read everyone else's, so it was hard to put history facts to faces and names. It sounded familiar, though. "St. Mungo's, I see. That's quite the esteemed hospital." With all her injuries throughout the years, Ella had never been to St. Mungo's. Several other magical hospitals, but never Mungo's.
"We have that in common, then." Ella smiled. Although, she was willing to bet Serafina might have known what she was doing more than Ella had, since she was new to this Department Head stuff. Ella smiled again. "I've always had a passion for animals of all kinds. After I left Hogwarts, I attended Florence’s Academy of Magical Creatures over there in Italy. My main focus was learning how to control and tame wild animals. A few years after that, I lived in Romania and worked in the Dragon Sanctuary. And then after a couple years after that, I returned to Florence's Academy to teach." She nodded with a smile. She was rather proud of her history. |
