SPOILER!!: Gavin
There was something he hardly heard, a vacation that was perfect. His hadn't been bad but he wouldn't call it perfect. Too many external factors around making things easily worse than they should have been. "Mine was well spent, yes." That's how he'd describe his, well spent. He enjoyed it and so did the people closest to him.

"A garden? Interesting. Have you thought of taking a stop in Enviromental Protection? I think the Department Head might have a few useful tips and gadgets that could get you started on a lovely garden." He wasn't one for that sort of thing himself but he knew others were and it seemed the logical choice. Otherwise she could consult books...or her own expertise. If she could bake, who was he to assume she was no good at gardening? He could only hope she didn't take offense.


Ainsley nodded as he talked about his vacation. Gavin wasn't exactly the warmest person so she figured in Gavin language "well spent" was equivalent to nice.

"What a fantastic idea. I will have to pop in over there soon and see what tips I can get." This whole garden thing was seeming more and more fun as the minutes ticked by. "I need to put some faces to names anyways." Oh, she would have to do some baking first. Ainsley never liked meeting someone empty handed. The blonde had a hard time trying to contain her excitement. She could just squeal with delight right now.


SPOILER!!: Tiffany


Tiffany quietly continued taking small bites of the cookie. That way she wouldn't be caught with a huge mouthful before she had to speak. It was a tip she learned over the years. Ah. She was good at this. Speaking of which, it was her turn to speak once again. See? The trick worked because she didn't have to go speaking with her mouth full! "Oh, of course I look forward to working with you as well! It'll be a lot of--" She wanted to say fun... But would that be unprofessional? Were they allowed to have fun? Fun wasn't on the job description... No. She had to watch herself. Be professional. "I mean, it'll be super enjoyable to be working around such nice people!" Better?

Would would she be doing? Working in the minister's office of course. Level one. Didn't Ainsley already know that? Wasn't she... oh wait. She was talking about her position. Well duhhh. "Oh, I'm going to be an advisor! I'm very excited." Even though she really didn't know what advisors did... Besides the job description of course. That much was given. "What position are you in?" Should she have done her research or something? Nah. It would've been creepy.


Her cookies were a hit, and that just made her beam even more. She wanted Lawrence to see how well Tiffany was doing with not talking when her mouth was full so he could see how out of line he was for his comment. It looked like he was caught up in a different conversation though. Oh well. Ainsley had a feeling that her co-worker wanted to say fun, and Ainsley wouldn't disagree with that. "I couldn't agree more." Nice people were the best.

An advisor? "How lovely." Of course she didn't know Tiffany all that well, but she had a feeling that she would be great at that position. It was all in her attitude. "I think you are going to make a admirable advisor." It seemed like they could work together and that would make Ainsley's job easier. "I am a media liaison." She just had to try REALLY hard to keep stories that weren't favorable to the ministry out of print.


SPOILER!!: Zach... not sure if you meant to quote me, but hiiiii
Zach was punctual as always except for the fact that he needed to drop by his office to check on the paperwork that was piling in there. The problem with being and having a holiday is that paperwork does not go for a holiday. He shook his head. He was never a party person, well, he was a party person but today is not the right day for it, or so he thinks. Oh well he might as well socialize.

He saw the Minister and the Senior Undersecretary who looks rather happy to be back and greeting people. He approached them and said,
Text Cut: Minister and Senior Undersecretary






"Good day, Minister, Mr Senior Undersecretary, Sir" looking at one after the other. "I hope both had a lovely time over the holidays?" he said directing the questions to his superiors.

He then looked around to see some familiar faces and some new recruits.


As Ainsley looked around she saw yet another familiar face. Maybe it wouldn't be all new people this year after all. "Hello there Zach. Hope your holiday was well." Did he want some treats?
