She hadn't said much to the MLE Department Head when she moved offices and wasn't sure what to expect.

Eeeehhh, she could play nice. "Emily Browne, just here doing a security sweep," she said with a firm shake before retracting her hand.

"Might I pick your brain briefly?" she asked, because employee opinions counted for something, even his.
...
Her polite smile was still in place, though she wondered why the woman had left her Department. And to think she had considered promoting her, so sad. The first name basis thing was mildly irksome, but she wasn't about to get huffy and exercise her authority now. "Heather, it most certainly is... I hope the Minister's Office is treating you well." Cue brow raise.

Joćo frowned for a moment before he relaxed his facial expression. Collect his BRAIN?! What did that even mean?! She certainly didn't mean it in the literal sense, right? UGH. These stupid British phrases. He hate hate hated them!

And what was with the security? Did that mean he ought to leave her alone or..? Would it be weird if he asked? Explain he was a foreigner so he didn't really understand? But that was way too humiliating! No. Instead, he smiled and drew some air to speak, but he had to relieve it as Heather appeared. He was saved! He took half a step backwards to let her join the conversation or whatever this was, and simply listened to the exchange between these two women.

Heather used to work under her? Huh.
