Maybe after he made another trip downstairs with some plants and whatever gift was for Charles, Fletcher would come back up here.

Maybe.

He watched as Victoria disappeared for a few, and took that time to add two more plants to his collection on his original table. So depending on how large the Minister's gift was... he'd probably have to make two or three trips up here to get all these....? Ah. Well. He had his plans for the rest of the day sorted! Heh.

Fletcher returned to Victoria's table when she reappeared with a cat cage--- A CAT CAGE?! The gift for the Minister was the kneazle that had been hanging around them?! Why had he been thinking it would be something small ~~like jewelry~~? Fletcher had planned on putting the gift in his pocket. He certainly couldn't do that to a kneazle though. He couldn't even shrink a kneazle, because as good as he was at Transfiguration, he was uncomfortable doing that to an animal.

And then there was the note. He hadn't been deliberately trying to read it, but Fletcher had nothing else to rest his eyes on at the moment, and so he did, quietly, watch her write out the words WHEN YOU COME OVER FOR DINNER. For some reason, this phrase in particular was sticking out to him as though it were in large print and highlighted in yellow. Fletcher had to say something about this, right? HAD to. Fletcher had thought that the Minister was MARRIED. Or WAS married? Was he STILL married? Suddenly he realized he didn't know his boss as well as he ought to.

He cleared his throat, hoping he wasn't wearing too awkward an expression right now. "Are you and the Minister....close friends, Ms. Culloden?"

She had probably spent plenty of time here and looking at the time she did have a meeting to get to but wanted to make sure that Fletcher was okay with the task she had presented. Hearing him clearing his throat she looked up and the question should have been not surprising but her cheeks flushed all the same. Being a grown woman she wished that would have stopped during her adolescents.

"The minister and I are quite close. Not that it is the ministry's business but we have been together for a little time now." It wasn't something they aired on display, but obviously curious eyes had read her words. "I would hope you are still up for this task at sending him the kneazle." Just a friendly should the girlfriend get this feline or not type of thing, but nothing the employees had to really worry about.

"I do need to get going though, it was a pleasure to meet you and I hope to see you on level seven with plants soon." She gathered her things before turning back to him. "You are still up to taking Charles this gift, yes?"
