The young man figured that he’d run into his Department Head soon enough and was in no hurry to find him. Having interned at the Ministry a few summers back, Brody was sure that Phora would not have forgotten him. He zoned in on the food. “Any recommendations?’’ he asked the person he had come to stand beside. No, Brody hadn’t even glanced at the said person.

He couldn't help but gulp as he looked over at the fountain one more time. The threatening atmosphere of the event just wouldn't leave. He supposed and even hoped that the foreboding nature would dwindle down as more people arrived, but that certainly wasn't the case. If anything, the additional arrivals added to the thick tension. "Joseph.", he said, in return for the woman's introduction. After a few moments, he pointed at his name tag and added, "As you can see." He held out a hand for the woman to shake.

Joseph watched as another man walked over towards himself and the woman. As the stranger stuffed his mouth with stuffed mushrooms, Joseph could feel his stomach rumbling. Even though he was absolutely starving at this point, he simply couldn't muster up the appetite to eat as much as the man. "Good... I suppose.", he answered and grabbed a single mushroom. He chewed on it for a long time without swallowing, which was mainly because it tasted funny, which he put down to his bad appetite and the mood of the gala. "I'm Joseph.", he introduced, holding out a hand. He kept forgetting about the name tags.

Yet another man walked over towards himself and the buffet table. Joseph seemed oddly popular tonight. "I suppose the mini sandwiches look nice.", he replied to the man's question. Speaking of the sandwiches, Joseph grabbed one and bit into it. His appetite seemed to have returned. The refreshing taste of cucumber had seemingly returned it. he noticed that the man hadn't looked up at him as he asked for recommendations. 'Bit rude.', he thought, but he supposed that was just something to do with how Joseph had been brought up in an immensely posh household and had to attend etiquette classes for 7 years. "I'm Joseph.", he introduced, and held out a hand. The name tags had slipped his mind once again.

Gabriel was unphased by the "crowd" that quickly gathered at the buffet. He nodded politely at the other young fellow who joined them, then finished eating his stuffed mushrooms so he could reply to the other man...Joseph, he said his name was. "Gabriel," he replied, shaking the man's hand. "Not a mushroom fan, I see." He noticed that Joseph seemed more interested in the fancy sandwiches instead. Also noticed, thanks to the nametags which spared them some boring small talk, that the man worked in the minister's office.

Gabriel really didn't know what went happened there.

"What a press secretary do?" he asked, trying to change the subject from the weird new fountain with the fire atop. Was it a stupid question that he would have figured out the answer to, if he'd given it thirty seconds of thought? Probably... He wiped his hands on a napkin, then surveyed the table so he didn't have to keep making eye contact.
