The fact that Elinor was walking and talking again was a good sign, so Emily wasn't as preoccupied with her colleagues well being anymore, she was fine. The lab though, the lab wasn't. The sound of footsteps alerted her to somebodies presence, but when she peered up she hadn't expected to see a non-MLEer... what a pleasant surprise.
Emily watched as the man... the A&Cer placed a box of bottles on their counter. He was apologising for interrupting? or giving them goods? Either way, it wasn't necessary. It wasn't until he mentioned chizpurfles that things started piecing together. "Chizpurfles," she repeated after Elinor. All this... for bloody chizpurfles?! .................
...
And it made sense. The waning magic, the holes in the climate control charms, the destruction. It must have been quite the infestation to produce a dead Ministry. "Thank you," she replied, figuring there wasn't much to it. It seemed as though work would have to wait if they were to kill the pests. She was dreading seeing the state of her office, dreading it. The fortress of defensive, offensive and concealment charms would have made a rather nice meal for the pests. It wouldn't surprise her if it looked worse than the place Gavin had called his office during the lockout.
"I'll get a memo sent out," Emily said over her shoulder to Elinor, taking up a bottle for herself and following the man out of the lab. There was work to be done!
