| Everyone but mostly Roxanne ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf Being present as a third Enviro employee turned up, Emily was amused. It was in fact nice to see them so active and doing something on level two - or at least, were in the process of doing something, and hopefully achieving the desired result. Tick tock tick tock, time was of the essence. "And the Minister's office," Emily interjected with a curt nod, because the Enviro Department Head should have been made privy to that detail, head honcho and all. She was certain the Minister would be pleased to see Roxanne again, heh. "I was there earlier, I'm sure your people have been alerted..." Gavin wasn't one for being tardy, though considering Enviro seemed to be spread a little thin, it was possible that level one had flown under the radar. How awkward. Perhaps it was best to send back the third assistant after all.. shame though, MLE deserved the extra attention.
At least Vic was on top of things, of course he was on top of things. All of her staff ought to be on top of things, so this she wasn't all too concerned about.
She had been about to move off, get out of the way while Enviro did their work.. Emily had her own level to run without having to babysit and weather watch... but Roxanne's incredibly snarky comment strengthened her resolve to stay - even if only for a bit longer. Eyebrows raised, she observed the woman and her terribly disappointing behaviour, from a Department Head no less! A part of her wanted to tell her where to stick her attitude, and another part of her wanted to report her behaviour to a higher authority. But one side look at Vic was all she needed to keep her composure intact. Vic's light humour could always be counted on for such things, it was one of the many reasons she respected him as an employee and valued him as a friend. Emily's lips twitched in the corners, not smiling, but indicating to him that she was touched by his silent display of loyalty. Still, returning her gaze to Roxanne, Emily offered her a moderately sympathetic look, and it was a genuine one at that. "I'm sorry you feel that way, Roxanne," she mused, especially considering the woman had once been one of said high and mighty MLEers or had she forgotten? "but please, an ounce of professionalism would be appreciated." There was no need to be conceited and rude.
Considering the circumstances, the ice, the fumbling, the general mess of the waiting area, and the people incoming, it wasn't at all a big deal - nor a fault - that Emma had not seen or not recalled Roxanne. The prosecutor excelled in her area, and that was all that was required of her.
Honestly, if the stress of all things Enviro was getting to Roxanne, then perhaps she ought to have considered a career change.
It was raining and icy, yes, and no, it was not ideal, but circumstances could have been worse. Much worse. As it was, lava wasn't pouring from the ceiling, so they would survive. Emily only hoped Roxanne remembered how to breathe, at least Alex was keeping her cool.
