"Here you go, welcome to the Ministry!" She beamed as she extended the package. The name...sounded familiar but in all the excitement of finally being back at work she couldn't really place it. Nothing to do about that for now and especially not when there were questions to be answered.

"Sure is." In response to the wand going into the machine. "No worries, I'm sure they've used this thing maybe a million times by now--which could either mean it's really good....or looking to break down any minute now." ....Might not have been the most reassuring thing to say in hind sight....yeah...might not have been at all. "But we have Maintenance peeps who'd be glad to fix it--even if I don't think any came prepared to work tonight..." Huh.

So maybe she'd just drop this line of conversation all together. "Fire it up, Simon." Let's see what it could do.

Alexa spoke up herself when the woman seemed concern for it so he remained quiet not to just repeat assurances but instead fed the wand into the machine. He wouldn't blame her for her worry, seeing as it was obviously a new thing for her and wands wer extensions of the witch or wizard they belonged to.

"Alright Taladona Jordan...." Simon spoke as he made sure the name was attached to the wand. " The machine did its job, weighing and scanning the item and connecting it with what was filled out on the woman's application. It took a few moments but all went well and the wand was rleased. "You're all set," he said as she took the wand and handed it back to her as well as her id since nobody from administration was there yet.

"Have a good day and enjoy the orientation." Lex had already handed her the welcome bag there with the next woman (Chelle) to take care of.


"Oh, thank you." Tala smiled, taking the package and eyeing the contents with interest before turning her attention back to the witch and wizard and the discussion of her precious wand.

What was it with English Witches and Wizards and their weird magical devices that ether A; did something cool, or B; did something terrible and possibly life ruining? Was it some kind of joke maybe? Dry British Humor? Tala pondered on this as the young woman spoke, saying that there was a chance of the machine being about to break down any second in a very blunt, but very calm way.

It reminded her of Abbi actually, the way the Jersey girl would dish out good and bad news with the same deadpan snark. Funny. "Right... Yeah... Okay." Not wholly reassured, Tala still allowed the process to be done, watching as the scanned and weighed, making all manner of funny little noises that caused the blonde's lips to tug in a slightly reluctant smile.

Well, that wasn't so bad at all. She'd been worried over nothing, Tala thought as she smiled and thanked the man, taking back her wand and tucking it safely behind her ear. "Thank you again, have a good day you two!"

Honestly, she would have liked to stuck around and bit and try to figure out where she knew the blonde deadpan girl but the line was long and it would be rude to hog up all their time.

She'd be sure to find her again, later when everything had settled down.

For now, she had peers to meet.
