Half an hour of licking.

Now there was some information and accompanying visual he did NOT need.

Eyes narrowing slightly, he was rather tempted to invite Maddox to bugger off before he received even more unnecessary visuals when his COLLEAGUE drew his attention to whatever in Orion's belt he had managed to get on his suit. "Oh...for Merlin's s----" he grumbled as he tugged on his sleeve a bit to get a better look, retrieving his wand in the next moment to administer several - read about ten more than necessary - cleaning charms to his suit to remove the evidence. "A leak...not exactly," he grunted once the cleaning was to his satisfaction. "Mostly some restless encephalons over potion continuously seeping out from inside container." So yes, a leak. "We need a modified solution anyway. Nousists reported the appearance of abnormalities in the Hypothalamus region specifically. I'll be having my potioneers taking a look into matters as well." Though with Maddox's suggestion of Megan - who had just announced herself a PART Officer - this seemed like two fwoopers with one stone. "Stellar. I'll send an official summons to you in the coming days," he beamed at the woman, not waiting for her confirmation to Maddox's praise and suggestion.

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

He was beginning to understand why the suggestion that he hire a personal assistant had been offered to him. Or perhaps he needed to stop offering lunch outings to every other person he spoke to. No no, personal assistant it was and hopefully he would remember that he had added that to his to-do list come tomorrow.

Hopefully.

Parting ways with Simon, Charles was delighted that the industrious Victoria was seeming to enjoy herself. He was quite QUITE keen on the developments and work to come out of Games and Sports. And speaking of Games and Sports, this little darling was certainly the eager beaver! What a delight. "May you maintain such spirit, Laila," he beamed at her before his eyes glanced back towards the front of the room once again. "A rain check on our conversation, my dear. I have a toast I need to give."

Oh now THAT had been a cute little party trick from that young woman. The disillusioned wand holster. Smashing. He offered her a bit of a mischievous twinkle of a smile as he moved past her. Though his attention soon was drawn to a young woman working in Accidents and Catastophes. "Ah lovely to meet you, Megan," he chuckled with a wide grin. "Part officer part what else?" Ho Ho Hoooooooooooooo just a bit of ~~grandpa~~ dad humor there, he knew perfectly well what all PART entailed having gone over each department meticulously with his Senior Undersecretary earlier as well as spoken individually with the department heads.

Grinning at January, he offered the young woman a quick wink before slinking off to grab bubbly number three - which was mostly just for show due to his need to provide a toast. Clicking against his glass with a spoon, he waited until the crowd, mostly, settled down before speaking.

"GOOD evening, good evening INDEED," his voice boomed as he commanded the attention of the room. He had no real intention of making this particularly long and it would even but cut unceremoniously short in that he would not go into a retelling, complete with pictures, of the escapades of his grandchildren the other day in which the triplets had covered themselves in paint and rolled all around the living room to create their own living artwork on the carpet - which he by no means encouraged nor enabled. Nope. "It is indeed a pleasure for me to welcome you ALL to the first annual Ministry Cocktail Hour and the triumphant reopening of the Ministry of Magic. Upon my appointment as your Minister for Magic, I was pleased to learn of the fruitful discussions held during these turbulent times between administrations and am humbled to be presented the opportunity to continue to actively support and nurture the enrichment of synergies between the department heads of this Ministry. Rest assured, the wizarding world is in good hands and all of you here have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with those who will help shape its future." Meaning each and every one of them, of course. "The work we do here will set the precedent for years to come. It is my fervent belief that increased people-to-people contacts have a crucial role to play in consolidating stability, and is why these humble beginnings were selected as a means of kicking off our Ministry year. May tonight serve as a reminder that, despite their differences, we much still communicate on a human level. That it is our responsibility to develop and deliver a powerful message in favor of enhanced dialogue. As a Ministry, we can build bridges, but we also need to spur and convince people on both sides to cross these bridges," he continued, raising his glass in the air to signal the climax, of sorts, to his toast. "The time has NOW come for US to walk across one of these bridges TOGETHER! TO A UNIFIED MINISTRY!"

And with that, he took a sip and fully expected the audience to echo his proclamation and take sips themselves. If not, well, that would be only moderately embarrassing.

"It is not my intention to bog down our evening with too many announcements, but I do bring one from the Minister's Office. Your Senior Undersecretary, January Bones, and myself are seeking an emerging inspiration voice among all of you to step up and join the administration as our new Junior Undersecretary. Interested parties should send your resume and cover letter directly January for consideration. Those who pass our initial screening will receive an official summons for an interview in the coming months. Now, everyone back to their conversations and enjoy the rest of your evening!"

And yes, he may have already forgotten that he had given January a bit of a nudge earlier to prepare a speech of her own or else he would have asked the crowed to retain their attention for just a bit longer.
