She gave him a soft smile and faced the flower again "Corpse Flower..." she hummed before glancing back at Ryder "makes sense" Her knowledge with plants are very little to nothing and it shows. "I'm not a big fan of plants. Plus, it's too colorful for my taste" she chuckled.

Not bad, she's starting to mingle. Weird.

She can actually mingle.

She was restless, and she wanted to be out doing something. Patrolling, training, searching Hogsmeade and the surrounding area, just something. She couldn't relax until every last escapee had been found, until Alexa had fully recovered, until she finally had her daughter back...

Christmas hadn't been the same this past holiday. She and Zeppelin had tried to make it as fun as possible for Sage with the current circumstances, but it wasn't the same for any of them without Ivy, and it was extra frustrating being unable to do anything about it.

Mulling over these thoughts, Penelope kept herself positioned so she could keep an eye on all the arrivals. Her attention was briefly diverted when a yelp sounded - from Flamsteed? But there were quite a few people gathering around him already, so her eyes turned back to the door as people continued to arrive. She spotted Toussaint, their new Department Head, and Burton, and they both received a polite nod if they happened to look her way.
Ryder chuckled at Kiko's comment about the plant's color. It was a typical DME response, and he couldn't deny that he felt similarly. Herbology was not a subject that he was very interested in, nor was it one that he ever really enjoyed in school. To be perfectly honest, he thought it was a little strange to be having a Ministry party in a greenhouse, surrounded by a bunch of weird plants. "You and me both." He shifted on his feet, noticing another woman from their department, who seemed to be keeping an eye on the door. "Evening, Grimm," he said, giving a nod to the auror. Funny that the point of these gatherings was to mingle with people from other departments, but Ryder much preferred chatting with coworkers he already knew. "Did you ladies have a nice holiday?" It was a bit more small-talk-y of a topic than he would usually prefer, but at least it was better than talking about the rheticus vortex. If he had a sickle for every time he heard the term mentioned at the Ministry over the past few weeks, he'd be a very rich man.

The first thing Anya wanted to do the moment she arrived was to acquire a drink for herself. She may not have brought a plus one to the event, although she considered asking Hazel but she was aware that social gatherings just weren't his cup of tea, but she made sure that her outfit would garner attention. This shade of yellow was particularly lovely, and she knew it looked good on her given her early years of experience in the modelling industry. One would not look so stressed if they dressed a certain way, and that was a look she was going after.

"Hello, Mr. Flamsteed," Anya brightly greeted her boss as she passed by, on her way to the beverage table. She would be chilling there while she waiting for a familiar face to arrive. Perhaps Angelica, or any of her colleagues from level 9. They could hopefully talk about something that wasn't related to the Rheticus Vortex because Merlin knew how much Anya needed a break from that.

Coming to a stop near them she plastered on charming smile as eyed up the selection of drinks on offer. "Good evening Airey and Anya! I'm glad for a night without vortex talk arent you? Have you seen any cheese straws anywhere? Or some apple cider?" She had an urge for some, which was weird because usually she disliked them as much as she did brocoli. Turning to look at the giant flower or really all the flowers in the greenhouse she wondered if any of them were touchable.
Grae was on her way to get a refill on her drink when she noticed a woman by the beverage table (Anya). She gave her a smile, trying to figure out if she had met her before. "At least I'm not the only one without a plus one!" Grae said with a laugh as she approached the table. Not that she was bitter about being single. But it just got old talking to all these couples. She set down her glass. "I don't know if we've met, but I'm Grae. Transportation." And then there was another woman joining them (Laurel). Grae was fairly certain that she had seen her on the Ministry lifts before, and that she was an unspeakable, but she wasn't totally sure. She laughed at the comment about apple cider and cheese straws. What strange things to crave. She could relate, though - she'd do pretty much anything for a Hogsmeade butterbeer. She had been craving one since Christmas.
