This particular orientation made him feel no different. He found it odd to house it in a greenhouse of all places, and the pièce de résistance of the event had no appeal to him. Nevertheless, the Frenchman was there to shake hands and appear like he was enjoying himself. He gave the plant a glance, mainly because of its positioning in the room, and feigned interest as he made his way over to the refreshments area.

Welcoming a drink in his hand, he turned so that he could assess the area and make a move on who to go brush shoulders with. A woman nearby caught his attention, mainly because it appeared she was doing the same. "Anyone interesting out there?" he casually asked her.
It was interesting what one could find out simply by watching body language and the dynamics between people as they interacted with each other. Alphonsine already knew who her boss was, but she was also starting to suss out who held positions of power based on some of her observations. And though she was biding her time, she was just calculating who to approach first when a voice at her side caused her to turn.

"One can always find something interesting if they know where to look," she said with a smile, the hint of a French accent colouring her words. Alphonsine paused a moment to look this man over, not immediately placing him, but she soon extended a delicate hand to him. "Alphonsine Rosier. I work in the Minister's office."
