She knew she'd graduated with high marks, rankings, all that jazz. She knew she'd traveled around, but she didn't really know how to answer this question.

She really didn't even know how she'd gotten a position in the Ministry on such a whim. "Well, I just graduated a couple years ago. I just recently turned twenty, you see... I was sort of off traveling for the last couple years. So, I didn't really have a job. This is my first. Official job, that is. While traveling I did a few odd jobs... muggle and magic alike." Stella smiled again. She'd learned a lot while she was gone, and that was the important part.

Even if it totally embarrassed her now, in an office setting. It had been the right choice.

Elaine was taken aback by Stella's offered hand. She's half-blood and was around her mum enough to know how to shake a hand, but hadn't ever been offered a handshake by magical folk. She reached for Stella's hand eagerly and gave a firm handshake. "Where all did you travel? That sounds fascinating! Not to mention-I'm sure it's given you lots of experience, especially for working in the department of International Cooperation! I'll bet you're a lot better qualified than you give yourself credit. My husband and I just moved here from Ireland to be closer to family. Good Merlin, I miss it there though!" Her mind turned briefly to the little cottage they left behind and just as quickly turned to how fun it would be to travel around the world and visit different places. It'd been years since she'd been able to get away for awhile, especially to do pleasure travelling instead of for business or visiting family here. A thought occurred to her-"By the way, do you have any idea what you or I do here?"

In the past few weeks that seemed to be all she was doing, since Violet herself is pretty new in the Department.

Elaine turned toward the new voice and was surprised to see that it was directed at her. "Yes, I am in the British Seats Department. The memo I received said my division head was someone else, so you must be new here too. It's GREAT to meet you! Where did you work before? Are you from around here?" Elaine took the proferred hand and gave another hearty handshake. She got a warm feeling that she was really going to enjoy working here. "By the way, what did I miss at the meeting? I saw the memo as I was coming in but by the time I got over there it was already over."
