Despite the fact that the woman didn't follow protocol and could have gotten her in trouble, Reagan couldn't help but feel a slight bit of sympathy for her. She leaned over the desk and said quietly, "Don't worry about it. The Minister just has a very particular way of doing things because his schedule is so busy and it helps him keep everything in order. Plus, he hasn't had his tea yet today so he's a little... distracted. He probably won't even remember the interruption once he downs a cup." Straightening back up and returning to her regular volume Reagan explained politely, "My name is Reagan Taylor and as you can see by the name on my desk placard I'm the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister. From now on, if you wish to visit with the Minister, just make a short stop at my desk and if he's not in a meeting, I will announce your arrival to him and he'll likely get to you in moments."

Reagan glanced at the clock on her desk and mumbled to herself, "Where is Brown with the Minister's tea? If I have to go in there without it and he comments on it, she's going to be scrubbing the toilets with the Maintenance staff... without magic!" Reagan sighed and then looked back up to the woman standing before her. She continued as if there had been no interruption in their conversation, "Now, you mentioned that you are new staff. What is your name and in what department are you working?"
