That was definitely something that would stay weird until the day he left the Ministry.... Maybe even beyond that. It gave him the creeps, yo. Definitely the creeps.

Anyway, he had finally mustered enough of that Gryffindor courage (with the help of talking to one Airey Flamsteed) in order to make his way to the door. He had rehearsed this conversation several times, there was no way he'd mess it up. He just had to stick to the script and hopefully Mariel would also stick to the script (the one in Zander's head, anyway). He hadn't really made any plans past the single one he had practiced. Having no backups was really one of the more negative Gryffindor qualities he had walked away with.

Anyway, now was as good a time as any..... He held his breath and firmly knocked the door. Maybe she wouldn't be in and he could just turn around and try again later. Yeah, actually that didn't sound terrible.

Mariel would hardly admit it to herself but she was starting to feel like she had too much on her plate. It wasn't her job so much, though she could easily find fault there, but it was more things that she had on her mind. She hadn't been pleased with the work of their governess at home for a while and had debated hiring another or perhaps taking on the responsibilities herself. Of course that would definitely change things. But it was an important matter, especially with Regina soon approaching the age of boarding school.

Though she was reviewing some paperwork at her desk, she was lost in these thoughts as she heard a knock on the door, abruptly returning her to reality. Huh. She didn't have a meeting that she had forgotten about, did she? No, she was fairly certain she didn't, but she paused to look at the clock for a moment to bring her mindset to the present. "Come in!" she eventually called out to the door, looking at it expectantly to see who was on the other side.
