Default The Greenhouses

{The Greenhouses}


The Greenhouses house any and all plants the Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection is currently working on, both indigenous and foreign. This is where the Botanists work their magic - literally and figuratively. A place where Potions ingredients and rare plants are being grown and where the Research and Development team conduct their experiments. After the incidents under Nickles' reign, some of the more aggressive plants have been quarantined into a separate smaller greenhouse, to be tended to only by those specifically assigned to the task.

If you do not work for the Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection, you are NOT permitted to enter any of the Greenhouses without being accompanied by a DERP-employee; unless you have been given explicit permission by the Department Head, Olly Emmons-Clarke.

Should you find any of the greenhouses to be short on supplies of any kind, please contact one of the Greenhouse Caretakers.

Everyone has that one friend who keeps offering them drinks, and Bryant was exactly that designated friend.
David had slipped away from the group of women and found himself at the drinks table at the same time as Jessica's brother. Well look at that. "Hello," he greeted Bryan with a T, nodding politely as he picked up a drink for himself and quickly downed it, moving the empty glass to that side of the table. He picked up another sparkly one, the same as the first, and eyed the other man.

"So, you're Jessica's brother." Obviously, or he wouldn't have spoken to him. "Bryant." Again, stating the obvious as he tried to think of what he wanted to say. Davie blinked down at his own hand holding the drink a few times and then over to the other man. "Jessica's... nice." He still didn't know what to say about her, but, he would try. "You two seem very close." It was an odd thing for this only child to observe.

She also lowkey was wishing that she followed quidditch moreso because she might have been able to pick up on the talk about Genny's skills. Fortunately it didn't seem to be a pertinent thing to the conversation which shifted back to Bryant talking about being an architectural .... what??? "That sounds fancy. I guess you had to go to some sort of education to be able to do that. Do you like ... design buildings or something?" Or how was that different from an architect? Was it the same thing? And Bryant offered to go get his sister something to drink and included HER in it!!! OKAY soooo there was still hope for mankind after all. "Oh sure, thank you Bryant." She smiled graciously, her eyes gazing around the room to see Stella made her appearance. Young girl and to be frank, Chloe still wasn't particular on her opinion of the young woman yet. She seemed almost floozy-like but professional? Was that a thing?

No matter though because the discussion in their little conversation was back on the beauty and brains contest and she barely missed Genny's emphasis on partner. Took everything Chloe had to hold back the giggles. Fortunately she contained herself when Genny surprisingly agreed to an autograph?!? She hadn't been expecting it to be so easy but figured it never hurt to ask. "Into quidditch is an understatement really. My whole family is though. She played for the Bats for a few years back before I was born." So uh three decades ago?? "And then was the team healer for the Portree team for like twenty years after she had kids." Basically Amelia Rose lived and breathed quidditch. "And I got an uncle who played for the Kestrals."

Also did Davie just call Jessica's brother, Bryan??? She scrunched her face up in confusion, thinking perhaps she'd heard wrong particularly when Jessica didn't correct him. "True actually, but I think that Erik was also just on the shy, quiet side. I actually think on the contrary that he did know things, just didn't care to speak, ya know?" Probably why he was on the brainy side of the competition. Even though he was quite easy on the eyes. Although it would have been interesting to see how things played out for sure.

And now David was off to get more to drink, but Bryant (Bryan?) was going to get her something anyway she just shook her head at him.

Although he'd hate that analogy. "Yes, please!" She chirped when he offered to deliver refills. He better be serious about this drink deliver because she was going to wait for him.

Jessica was just proving to be a fun person the more Genny saw of her reactions. She was almost the complete opposite of her nervous friend. "Ahhh," Genny sighed dramatically when Jess asked about why she signed him up. "WELL, yes. Davie is someone who you have to push into social situations? I think he's a great person, he's intelligent and good looking but this whole brooding persona he's taken on since we turned thirteen is hindering some people from knowing who he is. So, I signed him up! To meet people. Beautiful people." DATE. She signed him up to find a date. Or two. Or three. She was a good friend not to say it out loud though. It wasn't hard to know the underlying meaning behind Genny's words, though. "Why did you sign up?" She was interested in hearing the answer from a normal person as opposed to a forceful friend.

Chloe's family was proving to be the family Genny had always wanted (just kidding, Genny actually adored her parents no matter how Quidditch-less they were). "Oh wow! You have to tell me their full names, I must know of them! I've been into Quidditch since I was... five? Maybe four." Genny can't remember a time where she didn't play or go to Quidditch games. "You don't seem to play, though." What a weird turnout for her family, huh? That she didn't play.


Jessica chuckled gently at Genny's words. "Yeah. I got a bit of that from the contest. I had to answer all of the questions for us. Like...I mean, say the answers for everyone to hear. I'm by no means stupid - I speak four languages and went to university and everything - but he definitely knows more random stuff than I do," she said with a shrug as she watched David and Bryant go get drinks...together.

Which was worrying.

She hoped, even with her little stunt she just pulled with Bryant, that he didn't embarrass her, but her hopes weren't very high.

"Was he appreciative at all of you signing him up, then?"
she asked Genny as she just smirked at Chloe. "I know quite a few cute quidditch players...boys and girls, if you're interested," she winked at Chloe. "I'm still pretty close to all of my former clients..." one in particular she remained friends with. Jessica loved playing match-maker, but often she couldn't in order to remain "professional." Especially in her old job. She could nEVER have gotten involved in such personal stuff with the famous people she had worked for. Nuhh-uh. WEIRD.

Oh goodness! What was - was it the FLOWER?

Which means the show was starting. The heat increase was especially noticeable the closer to the star attraction you are. A few other details also signaled that the plant of the hour was starting to bloom.

The red ‘skirt’ of the plant began to fold down looking very much like a deep red and glistening, a raw steak. Oddly enough, the chemicals produced by the corpse flower vary in range. At first, you may smell the faint scent of jasmine. But soon, pungent smells begin filling the room.

Perhaps to you it smells like a funky cheese? Rotting garlic? The Sulphur of rotten eggs?
Jessica gestured at the flower for the two girls. "It's blooooming, it's blooming!" she said in a hushed tone, as if the flower would need complete silence to do its thing.

...oh...

OH...

That did NOT smell pleasant. Jessica was crinkling her nose, but she thought the bloom was beaaaautiful. Stunning. Wow.

If being in the middle of a Beauty and Brains reunion was interesting, holding a one-on-one man-to-man conversation with his sister's partner for said event would be just as, if not more, amusing. The twenty-six-year-old's brown eyes scanned the many available beverages, weighing his options on what he should drink—what his sister would like, and what might be of Chloe's taste—before tilting his head towards David. "Hey," he greeted back. "I see you got my name right this time. Not that I was offended, it's alright." Lightening up the conversation here, that was something Bryant was rather good at.

He settled for a drink of his choice first, taking the glass and sipping from it. That was when the other guy went on to praise his sister, which was extremely amusing to Bryant. The presence of his own sparkly drink just added to this aesthetic. "She is, although it might benefit you more if she were on the hearing end of that compliment," he casually pointed out. This is in spite of the fact that Jessica had just somehow embarrassed him back there, in front of the group. No biggie? Yeah, sort of. Bryant was putting that behind him now. "Mmm, yeah. Grew up together and all. We know almost everything about each other, and it's impossible not to when you live together." Mum and dad weren't here in London, and his old flame Seph kinda sorta broke his heart some time ago. Jessica was, pretty much, all he's got at the moment.

Any Corpse Flower-related stink were not noticed yet.


———


Eeeey, that's more like it! Anya grinned some more as her proposal to toast was met with acceptance from Grae. She tilted her head slightly too, kind of like a bow, in response. It was truly a pleasure to meet another strong independent woman at work. "What do you do in Transportation?" The astronomer asked, genuinely curious. She didn't know anyone from that specific department either, so it remained a mystery to her.

Anya would have looped her arm around Grae's at this point, but she was sort of putting on a more professional facade at the moment. "Perfect, let's go," she said, staying behind the Transportation employee and following Laurel. She kept her thoughts about the corpse flower for now—the name didn't really sound so appealing but since she didn't know much about it or herbology in general, perhaps she should give it a chance. "No, I haven't. This would be the first time," she replied with a little smile, then took a sip from her sparkly drink.

Watching the main attraction in full bloom almost looked fascinating, but then things went south when...when.... "Of course it'd stink like the dead." The name sort of gave it away, didn't it?

WAIT. "Laurel?" Oh, Merlin. Colleague down! COLLEAGUE DOWN! Anya immediately sank to her knees, spilling a bit of her drink in the process, beside the older woman.

Hello? She wasn't prepared for this???


———


It was not at all an hazardous guess, it had been educated hypothesis. The blond smiled a bit more at Sachin. "You are correct," Kat replied. "One would say...I'm in my element, being in the greenhouse." While that was partially true, her job did entail more outdoor duties. Plants were still the main focus though.

Kat had also always wondered what work outside of the UK would be, so she was truly hanging to Eureka's every word. It's not something she was thinking about now, though, because she had a family and kids. Perhaps she can live vicariously through the younger woman's experiences. "Norway, far away from home. How did you like it there? I hope there wasn't much of a language barrier."

She had also never shied away from talking about her kids. If not work, family always took up Kat's time. "Anyone who's been there would definitely know that, while Hogwarts is truly a great place, it's hard." She was borrowing Eureka's word choice, because she couldn't think of a better word to capture what she meant without being brutal about it.

"Olly's a pleasure to work with," Kat shared the sentiment. They did get along well, and sometimes the blond wondered how they never really interacted as students at Hogwarts many years ago. They would have been good friends too, she thought. "I wonder where she is, though. Judging from the looks of the corpse flower, it's almost time too." And every employee in DERP knew what that meant, naturally. It wasn't named the corpse flower for no reason.

Speaking of the flower, when its petals began peeling back, Kat already had an inevitable cringe on her face. She already knew what to expect, and it certainly was not going to be a pleasant experience.

Ugh. Upon smelling the appropriately named corpse flower, Ronan was now questioning his decision to come here tonight. He surely could've found a good enough reason to skip if he'd thought hard enough. And honestly, it wasn't even that pretty of a flower. It pretty much looked like a giant red calla lily. He preferred the normal white ones.

Yep, next year he was definitely going to find an excuse to not come to this ministry thing.

While Charles was doing his ministry duties Victoria looked around to find any of her employees. She didn't want to have the night go on without saying hello and seeing how their holiday was, plus she did want to check up on any of her coworkers with children at Hogwarts. It was hard enough with her grandson not being home she couldn't imagine if her children were there with no communication.

Her eyes went back to Fletcherand an eyebrow raised as he said about drinks. She found Feltcher a very interesting man, though right now she wondered if he was trying to impress his wife with his new title. She turned on her heel to head with Jessa, "I'll walk with you if you don't mind." She could use a refill and seeing the time on her watch, she didn't want to be so close to that flower.

Could she fake a headache to get her and Charles out of there early?

She assumed it would be her leaving alone if she did, he did have a job to do and she'd never fake anything to take him away from that, plus she was never one to fake when it came to work. "What is your recommendation for my next drink?"

As she headed over to the table she did see a familiar face, not an employee per say but a player. "Good evening Miss Tate, I hope you are well." Players were in and out of the office signing contracts, dealing with fines, or using their workout facility for checkups from healers when needed to be cleared to play again, so she knew them pretty well.

Though wrapped up in greetings and her eyes constantly on her minister boyfriend her nose was attacked by an awful smell. It didn't take long to realize what it was and her eyes lifted to the awful flower. This was a big moment? It was no world cup.

Kiko chuckled under her breath and shook her head "I wish I can bake something this marvelous but no. I found them on the table next to the beverages" she explained. Yummy, right?

Kiko nodded at the man when he excused himself but just when she was about to respond to him an awful putrid smell filled the room. She made a face. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew! She looked at Ryder and took out her handkerchief "Are we allowed to leave?"
Luther, who chuckled at the young woman (he still didn't know her name btw) for her lack of baking skills, was now scrunching up his nose as the flower 'blossomed'. Were they even allowed to call it blossoming? Ekh, it was like someone just killed a horse in here. Ekh. EKH. "I don't know but I am anyway. Wanna leave, too?" He was offering, as he took a step back towards the entrance.

EW. He didn't even care that he hadn't said hi to his head of department yet. THE SMELL.

He was comfortable enough with Eureka to have her be so formal. “I learn something new everyday,’’ was his modest response. “But I do love it there. And as for family… my only family is here in Britain and that’s Conley. He and I are married.’’ As Sachin said those words, he realised how good it felt to actually say them out loud after he and Conley kept their relationship a secret for the last few years.

Sachin was such a sweet man, did anyone tell him that? She smiled and nodded at both his statements. She was going to call him Sachin and hit him up if she was ever in India! Imagine having the wizard Ambassador in a country take you out on a tour? Wow. Like, wow. She was game already. "Oh, that's great." About the marriage. She was obviously surprised, though, because she didn't know that marrying someone in your line of reporting was allowed. Apparently yes? Or Sachin didn't report to Con? Whatever that was none of her business. "Is it hard to work with your husband?" She asked curiously, but lightly.

Kat and Sachin seemed to have a good conversation, too. This was nice. "Oh Norway is where my dad is from. I used to go there a lot when I was a child." She explained, "I speak the language, too." Her dad would be furious if she lost the basics.

Eurie nodded at the Hogwarts part. Also about Olivia. "I bet she won't come out with the corpse flower about to bloom," she chuckled. Although she did wish she could see her again and say hi. Olivia had been nothing but supportive of her during her previous working days.

... oh the blooming! Eureka's attention shifted to the flower, calmly and not reacting at all to the stench from the flower. It was all too interesting and fascinating to watch honestly.

Genny listened to Jessica at first her smile was BIG but then it got a little smaller when Jessica subtly called Davie's knowledge random. "Oh, he knows A LOT of useful things. He's intelligent." Genny was definitely a ferocious friend, so she couldn't help but get defensive for Davie. "He's basically the smartest person in the room today." Okay, fine, she got carried away there but it was how she felt about all her friends.

Was he grateful? She scoffed at the idea, "Oh I wish. He complained before but I can see now that he made a good number of friends there who work in the ministry as well. I would say he hit the jackpot." Thanks to Genny, hehe. The exchange about cute Quidditch players was a little... embarrassing for Genny to be standing around for... just a little. She remained quiet, cleared her throat and played with her empty glass.

What was that smell? Rotten eggs? Genny's eyes followed Jessica's as the giant flower started to move. Her body tensed at the scene and the awful stench, it didn't even look good opening up. It looked like fleshy limbs being peeled apart, ekh. Where was Sam when you needed him? "Ew." Davie? Come back quickly, please.

!!!!!!!!!!!

Genny unwrinkled her disgusted face when Madam Victoria approached her. She beamed, couldn't help but to, and stood up straighter. "Good evening, Ma'am!" The woman was lovely and had this big aura around her that vibed off success and strength. Basically what Genny adored. "I am, thanks a lot. It's a great party the ministry has this year," this was a fib. The flower was kind of ruining the atmosphere tbh. "How are you?"

Oh! Jessa smiled widely at Victoria, refusing to even grace her husband with a look as she walked away with the woman. "Yes, please." Her husband was tactless today, she would point out when they went back home. Fortunately for him, Jessa ironically didn't like creating a dramatic scene in the middle of a party anymore. She left her dramatic skills in the theatre when she left.

When the women made it to the beverages, Jessa sighed a little and scanned them with her eyes. Hmmm. "Hmmm, I dunno. Any of the butterbeer based ones? I'm thinking of moving away from fruity in this next round. Besides, Fletcher doesn't really like butterbeer" Jessa smiled deviously at that.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Conley might have told Sachin once or twice that he was sweet but Sachin was half inclined to believe his husband was biased. But Eureka seemed excited about the prospect of having a visit to India and he in turn was pleased about this. Her surprise, however, did not go unnoticed. Truthfully, Sachin had expected reactions like that because he knew what they would be all about. “That’s why we kept it a secret,’’ he said simply. And if it ever came to an issue later on, well, he was willing to resign. “It’s not. We always keep it professional at work and at home, we try not to bring the work there. We make it work and know when to separate our personal and work lives.''

Ah, so Kat was part of Environmental Protection as well. “Are you working on anything new?’’ he asked with interest. Of course, if she couldn't’ talk about that, he’d understand. Merlin knew the amount of confidential issues that needed to be kept that way.

Okay, so Sachin realised a split second later that it was a bad idea to grab Conley. “Nothing, except for that.’’ Despite the heat and the obnoxious smell that reminded him of sweaty feet and footwear, he was grinning a little. See? They definitely would be able to add ‘in the presence of a Corpse Flower blooming’ to the list of things they saw in their lives. “Smells like sweaty feet to me,’’ Sachin mused, wrinkling his nose and his hand still on Conley’s arm.

And speaking of steady on, at the words ‘I’ve been thinking,’ Valentin felt a chill run up his back. In his experience, nothing good had ever come from those words. A few of the conversations that contained those words started rolling through his head. ‘So I’ve been thinking…we’re better off as friends.’ '...you should invest in this-'‘ – white wine is far superior to red…’ ‘…about puppies –‘

Valentin helped himself to a cocktail while Alba gathered her thoughts and then stood quietly giving her his attention as she spoke. ” 'ave you been drinking?” he asked, but quietly so that nobody else in hearing range might mistake his question and thin Alba had a drinking problem. Where was this coming from? Had he ever stopped her from flirting? Had he somehow, despite being very upfront with her when they met, given her the wrong impression? Or maybe…yes. She was probably just looking for a wing-man! Flirting? Flirting Valentin could do. It was the relationship part he had a problem with.

”Eet might be a big 'ard haire. Ai think we are ze best lookeng ones haire, non?” He looked out over the crowd, eyes landing on Singh who was with….Phora. His eyes narrowed a little. Where was Singh’s petite but highly spirited fiancé? Minnie? Ginny? Surely he had brought her along? Maybe he’d go over and ask. Singh always did seem to enjoy their exchanges. Okay, maybe Valentin got a bit more pleasure out of pushing Singh’s buttons then like cared to admit.

And then Valentin spotted a young man who looked promising. ” ’im?” he asked Alba, indicating Milo. He was talking with a lady, but didn’t seem to be here with her.

And before he could do anything else, Valentin was hit in the face the smell of poisse de Bourgogne (the world’s stinkiest cheese). ”Quelle odeur,” (What a smell). He waved a hand in front of his face as if he could waft it away.
"I may have had a glass or two of wine before arriving .. you know a little liquid courage nothing too much." She added looking around to make sure no one would get the wrong impression about her habits. And then following his gaze to see who he was looking at.

"Well he's cute." Alba added looking over at Milo and trying to gauge whether or not the woman he was talking was a romantic interest or not. She didn't want any drama in a new relationship ... none at all, she needed ease ... she wanted a husband and babies ... but that was thinking a little to far ahead of herself ... she needed to start with an introduction. "Do you think I should go introduce myself?" Alba asked and turned around just in time to avoid being hit in the head with said stinky cheese and watch it sail straight into Vale's face.

Alba's face split into a huge grin and she began laughing uncontroably. "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha" She was giggling so hard she couldn't contain herself. "I'm sorry Vale...hahaha... are you ...hahaha.... are you okay." Alba had to clutch her said from a stitch in it from laughing so hard.

Which means the show was starting. The heat increase was especially noticeable the closer to the star attraction you are. A few other details also signaled that the plant of the hour was starting to bloom.

The red ‘skirt’ of the plant began to fold down looking very much like a deep red and glistening, a raw steak. Oddly enough, the chemicals produced by the corpse flower vary in range. At first, you may smell the faint scent of jasmine. But soon, pungent smells begin filling the room.

Perhaps to you it smells like a funky cheese? Rotting garlic? The Sulphur of rotten eggs?

A wizard is never late.

At least that's what he told himself. His presence preceded by the taps of his cane against the ground, supporting the bum knee on his right. With salt and pepper stubble, the doctor looked no older than fifty, but felt several times that. With dragonhide gloves, one hand held his cane, while the other grasped a black handkerchief as he moved towards the plant, fighting his noses' urge to make him flee.

With his pin striped dress pants and vest, he looked like someone from an old movie. Nero felt practically ancient compared to the fresh faces around him, laughing, and having a good time despite the pungent aroma filling the room.

"Just a little sample won't hurt anybody.."

”If feet smelled like week old dirty diaper.” Conley replied. He wondered if it would be rude to cast a bubblehead charm but as he didn’t see anyone else in the room attempting to stem the smell, he figured he’d better pass. Wait – why was Sachin grinning like that? ”Wait- your not implying it smells like my feet?” After all, Sachin looked wayyy too happy. It never occurred to him that it was because they were being affectionate in public. Still, the flower was pretty, despite its awful potency. ”We are not getting one of these. I don’t care if the smell only lasts 48 hours.” It was 47 hours too long in Conley’s opinion.

A sharply dressed man passed by them, distracting Conley. ”Sach,” he asked taking a sip and leaning in closer. ”Do you know him?” he nodded in the Nero’s direction. Normally someone with style like that would have left a mark in Conley’s memory. ”He’s not – Hey sir?! Sir?” Conley passed his drink off to Sachin and hurried towards the man and the horrible smelly flower. ”Sir, there are wards up I wouldn’t touch if I were you.” After all, with that cane, he looked like the zap Airey had gotten earlier, might knock the man on his bum.

He preferred the normal white ones.

Yep, next year he was definitely going to find an excuse to not come to this ministry thing.

Valentin wasn’t sure how he felt about, what did the Americans call it? Pre-eventing? But he wasn’t about to shame anyone for enjoying a drink or two. Still, with Alba’s coordination perhaps he should take the one she was holding away from her. ” Haire,” he carefully took the drink and set it down behind her. ”Com,” he put his hand on her elbow and urged her forward in Milo’s direction. If flirting she wanted? Flirting they would do. ”Start wiv a 'allo. Than monshe-on la prettay flowair.”

In fact, Valentin’s eyes landed on Ronan. Perhaps flirting wasn’t a bad idea…

If only it hadn’t been for the deplorable flower! And Alba’s drunken laugh. Okay, now Valentin wasn’t sure if should let her out of his sight, or if he wanted to get out of the greenhouse himself. Still, the handsome man (Ronan) seemed to be as repulsed or perhaps unimpressed? as he was. Valentin gave him a flirty smile as he raised his drink in a hello. ” How eez zat sméll not botheréng yo?” he asked Alba, eyes still on Ronan. ” Eet smells lik poisse de burgogne. And eet eez banned from beeng transpairted on public transit fair a réason.”

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Sachin wanted to laugh heartily at Conley’s description but reduced it to a light chuckle. Yes, that Corpse Flower did smell terrible and Sachin had never smelt anything as bad as it before. He hastened to clarify the other man’s misunderstanding. “No, no. Your feet smell fine.’’ He grinned again and lowered his voice. “It’s just that I like that we could be able to do this. You and I out together, I mean.’’ As for them getting one of those plants in their home… “I don’t think you have to worry about it, Con. I’d prefer a bonsai or something just as pleasant.’’

Like his husband, Sachin’s attention was now focused on the middle aged man with the cane {Nero}. He was too preoccupied with the fellow and his actions to even focus properly on Conley’s question. “Hey, Mister,’’ said Sachin hurriedly, his accent more pronounced for some reason. He dropped his hand from Conley's arm. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Lucy knew that the odour of the corpse flower wasn't a pleasant one but that didn't prevent her from crinkling her nose in disgust. How she wished she was near some roses.

The redhaired witch then spotted a middle-aged wizard with a cane moving towards the plant. Lucy folded her arms in frustration and said, "I think you may find trying to get a little sample might hurt you."

She hoped that the wizard would get the message very soon.

Default Ah! Caught in the act!

"Ah." Blue eyes that had seen so much through the years, often missing what was right in front of them, widened as he caught the onlookers attention. "That would have been embarrassing, hm?"

Offering a faint smile, Nero stuffed his handkerchief in his vest pocket, and withdrew a pearl handled magnifying glass with a gold leaf inlay. "Doctor Nero Nykto. It is a pleasure to meet you." Rolling the handle slowly in his palm as he spoke, the doctor then held the lense to his eye, looking over the corpse flower with a curious eye.

"Would one of you fine young lads or ladies mind fetching me a drink?" Now he cast his gaze upon the gathered crowd, Nero's left eye distorted by the lense.

If being in the middle of a Beauty and Brains reunion was interesting, holding a one-on-one man-to-man conversation with his sister's partner for said event would be just as, if not more, amusing. The twenty-six-year-old's brown eyes scanned the many available beverages, weighing his options on what he should drink—what his sister would like, and what might be of Chloe's taste—before tilting his head towards David. "Hey," he greeted back. "I see you got my name right this time. Not that I was offended, it's alright." Lightening up the conversation here, that was something Bryant was rather good at.

He settled for a drink of his choice first, taking the glass and sipping from it. That was when the other guy went on to praise his sister, which was extremely amusing to Bryant. The presence of his own sparkly drink just added to this aesthetic. "She is, although it might benefit you more if she were on the hearing end of that compliment," he casually pointed out. This is in spite of the fact that Jessica had just somehow embarrassed him back there, in front of the group. No biggie? Yeah, sort of. Bryant was putting that behind him now. "Mmm, yeah. Grew up together and all. We know almost everything about each other, and it's impossible not to when you live together." Mum and dad weren't here in London, and his old flame Seph kinda sorta broke his heart some time ago. Jessica was, pretty much, all he's got at the moment.

Any Corpse Flower-related stink were not noticed yet.
Oh... no, why did BryanT have to bring that up. "Sorry," David mumbled, more into his drink than to the man, a bit of a flush developing on his cheeks at this faux pas. He really should have been paying more attention to the guy, but could anyone fault Davie for paying more attention to the women in their little circle?!

He... he didn't know what to say back to that bit of advice. "Oh." Okay, noted, he would go...er... make an attempt to say nice things to Jessica now. If he could psych himself up to do so. He wanted to say something else, some comment about living with one's sister, but then the corpse flower was blooming, and David's attention was drawn to the plant. Ahhh, there was the aroma he'd been expecting.

He smiled lightly in the direction of the plant and picked up another drink, as well as a handful of cocktail napkins. "The star of the evening has arrived," he commented to Bryant, also gesturing with one of his drinks toward the corpse flower. "I think I'll go see what our group thinks of it." Just excusing himself from more awkward small talk so that he could go educate Genny, more like, on the reason for the rotten odor in the room. He did enjoy annoying her with his know-it-all talk.

Back at the group, Davie was down to one drink, having finished another one en route and dropped off the glass already. None of these people had requested a drink from him, after all. They'd all wanted BryanT to bring them one. He smiled amicably at the ladies and his quidditch-playing friend. "Here's your cocktail napkins. You may want one to cover your nose." You know, because the flower had such a stench. He was enjoying it, though. It wasn't unexpected and it was just a sign of the life cycle and purposes of this plant, which was all Davie had eyes for.

Alba had been able to avoid the first round of the smell by turning her head away just at the right time and was able to watch Vale's reaction ... but after laughing so hard and inhaling A LOT of the stinky cheese smell ... it wasn't such a laughing matter.

"You were reacting as if you had actually been hit in the face with something." Alba giggling a big more but then the smell caught her again... "So I was distracted by your reaction ... but now ...." Alba turned her back on the corpse flower again, maybe if she wasn't directly looking at it she could keep it together.

"This is not exactly a romantic aroma ..... how are we suppose to flirt when we all smell like a dead body?" Alba was certain that her clothes would trap the scent and it would linger forever, she may even have to throw out her brand new dress she bought for this occasion. "Dead body's do not attract husbands." Alba's mood was souring the longer the smell lasted.

It hadn’t been like they had spent their entire courtship at home, but they had never officially attended a work function together as a couple. It hadn’t occurred to Conley that Sachin might be happy that they could just be them in public now. Sometimes Conley could be so obtuse. He returned Sachin’s smile. ”It is nice, isn’t it?” Except for his nerves, the evening had been nice. No worries about possibly showing affection or being seen in each other’s company for too long. As for the plants? ”A Bonsai mmm? I’ll have to remember that.” Because right now they had very few plants at home. Conley never had the green thumb and so it never really occurred to him to keep plants.

Oh good, the man had stopped. He wasn’t sure if it was his warning or Sachin’s or the other lady who had chimed in, but at least there were no purple sparks. Who knew what would have happened had the man activated the wards around the Corpse Flower? With the luck around the Ministry, the smell would probably have increased. And the man at least was being polite about it.
He wasn’t sure if the doctor was introducing himself to the people around him or the plant and glanced over at Sachin to see if he knew. One eyebrow was raised in question as he thought, a doctor? How odd. Not usually something someone identified as in the wizarding world. At least not from Conley’s experience. ”Conley Phora,” he replied eyeing the man’s magnifying glass ”May I introduce my husband, Ambassador Singh?” Oh, Sachin was right. Conley felt a little swell of pride at the words. That did feel good to say.

He took his drink back from Sachin and finished it as the Doctor started looking over the flower. ”I can get it. Sach, did you want another one?” he asked before slipping off towards the drink table.

”Ai am glad ai can amuse yo,” he said dryly as her laughter subsided. His eyes drifted from the man across the room that had caught his eye back to Alba who seemed to be having a hard time with the smell. He reached into a pocket and pulled out a clean handkerchief and handed it over. ” Hairé. Tak zis.” She’d find it was scented with something spicey and citrusy that should help with the smell. He’d prepared the handkerchief in case he couldn’t handle the smell. Yes, it was a bad as he expected and had Alba not been there he would have used it himself. Alas, Valentin believed that chivalry was not dead.

” What exact-lee did you expéct from a flowair named aftair a decomposeng body?” he asked, this time with humor evident in his snark. Marriage? Who had said anything about marriage? ” Ai do not think marriajé was what la mineestry was goeng fair wiv tonight’s events.” In fact, he hadn’t come to the event with anything close to romance in mind. And since when was marriage on Alba’s mind? This was news to him. He wondered if something had happened while he had returned home to France. Should he ask her? Or should he just get her home? ”Alba? Do you want to go?”

"Do you think I should go introduce myself?" Alba asked and turned around just in time to avoid being hit in the head with said stinky cheese and watch it sail straight into Vale's face.

If flirting she wanted? Flirting they would do. ”Start wiv a 'allo. Than monshe-on la prettay flowair.”
Had he embarrassed her? Milo certainly didn't mean to and he kept his friendly smile, trying to convey that. He had only been concerned at the woman's apparent startle he'd noticed as she was standing right next to him. "Ah, right," he chuckled at her explanation, having heard the young man shouting just moments before. "Someone must be excited for their first real job out of Hogwarts." Or something like that, he guessed.

"Yeah, its alright, as far as these things go," he said, having been to a fair few of the Ministry functions. "Milo Jordan, I work in Games and Sports," he added, as a way of introducing himself since they were talking, and he extended his hand. But it was just at that moment when an awful smell hit him, causing him to wrinkle his nose. "Is that the flower?" He knew that it was supposed to smell terrible when it bloomed, but that was beyond anything he expected.

He turned to look towards the flower a moment. It was... interesting. Not sure if it was anything he wanted to write home about though. But as he started to turn back towards the woman he was talking to, he noticed a couple of people (Valentin and Alba) who appeared to be looking at him. Where they talking about him? He gave them a small smile and acknowledging nod before turning back to the woman next to him (Emilia). "Friends of yours?" he asked, lowering his voice discreetly and gesturing towards the couple. Perhaps they were looking at her instead.

He wasn’t sure if the doctor was introducing himself to the people around him or the plant and glanced over at Sachin to see if he knew. One eyebrow was raised in question as he thought, a doctor? How odd. Not usually something someone identified as in the wizarding world. At least not from Conley’s experience. ”Conley Phora,” he replied eyeing the man’s magnifying glass ”May I introduce my husband, Ambassador Singh?” Oh, Sachin was right. Conley felt a little swell of pride at the words. That did feel good to say.

He took his drink back from Sachin and finished it as the Doctor started looking over the flower. ”I can get it. Sach, did you want another one?” he asked before slipping off towards the drink table.

Nero gave a look back and forth between Singh and Conley, while the latter went back to the drink table, as if he could see the invisible bond between them. "Ambassador Singh? Delighted to meet you." Smiling politely, the doctor slipped the fancy magnifying glass back into his vest with a gentle pat.

Extending a hand to Sachin, there was a slight creak of his dragonhide gloves. "And what is it that you are the ambassador of?" Having not taken the time to snoop through the ministries employee files yet, he would have to resort to getting to know his coworkers in person.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Sachin blinked. This man certainly was the character. He wasn’t quite sure what to make of him but the first words that came to mind were: eccentric and curious. He also noted that Lucy was not impressed by Nykto’s attempt with the plant. Catching Conley’s look, Sachin shook his head twice. Did Nykto always refer to himself as a Doctor? Wasn’t that more of a Muggle thing? The Ambassador was slightly baffled.

The grin that lit up his face could not be stopped. After all that time of concealing their relationship… Merlin, it felt good to acknowledge it in public with not a care about any repercussions. “Sure, I’ll have another,’’ he told Conley. His husband needed no reminder that he didn’t favour alcoholic drinks.

His attention focused back to Nykto. “Likewise.’’ Sachin shook the offered hand. “British Ambassador to India.’’ But there was a level of curiosity he was feeling and there was one question he wanted to know the answer to. “Do you always walk around with a magnifying glass, Doctor?”

Conley’s path to the drinks table was filled with polite hellos and how-do-you-dos. When he finally reached the table, he realized he never asked the Doctor if he would have liked a non-alcoholic drink. To remedy this, he maneuvered two ginger ales close to a cocktail and after topping one of the ginger ales with a cookie for Sachin, with the triangle method he picked up the drinks and began his dancing weave back towards Sachin.

He made it back in time to hear Sachin ask about the magnifying glass. Good question! Leave it to Sachin to find a way to ask about it in a way that came off as curious and not intrusive. The cookie covered drink was at the tip of the triangle and he held it out to Sachin. ”Doctor,” Merlin, that seemed funny to say. ”Ginger ale? Or cocktail?” he held out the other two glasses for the doctor to choose. ”Are you a botanist?”

He’d prepared the handkerchief in case he couldn’t handle the smell. Yes, it was a bad as he expected and had Alba not been there he would have used it himself. Alas, Valentin believed that chivalry was not dead.

” What exact-lee did you expéct from a flowair named aftair a decomposeng body?” he asked, this time with humor evident in his snark. Marriage? Who had said anything about marriage? ” Ai do not think marriajé was what la mineestry was goeng fair wiv tonight’s events.” In fact, he hadn’t come to the event with anything close to romance in mind. And since when was marriage on Alba’s mind? This was news to him. He wondered if something had happened while he had returned home to France. Should he ask her? Or should he just get her home? ”Alba? Do you want to go?”

Alba felt a little embarassed by her slight outburst about husbands. I mean ... she had been thinking about it, but to just burst it would load was slightly silly. And her pregame wine buzz was lessening so she began to blush slightly. "Maybe it would be best if I headed home. Would you be willing to go with me?" She had asked Vale, she didn't really want to be alone and she knew if she asked Vale would probably spend the night ... she wasn't sure she was that brave either ... she didn't want to seem so desperate for human contact ... but then ...... out of the corner of her eye she noticed the gentle they had been discussing waved at her.

"Vale ... did you see that?????" She said motioning with her head to not draw too much attention to herself again. "I think he waved at me." Alba was indeed trying to determine if Milo had waved at her. "What do I do?" Her heart rate was quickening and she was at a 100% loss of what to do.

” Of curs,” he replied watching her closely. He certainly would take her home if she wanted to go. After all, he was feeling a little protective of his only friend and wasn’t sure he if he felt comfortable leaving her alone. She seemed to be acting a little funny. Maybe it was the wine she had imbibed before coming to work. ”Say le waird and we can 'ead oot. Maibe pik up a pizza on ze way.” Because yes, Vale could go for some food and something like pizza would do Alba a little good too.

Subtle, they name is not Alba. Valentin thought to himself. But instead of teasing her, he gave her a big encouraging smile. He hadn’t seen a wave, but he had certainly seen Milo looking in their direction. ”Firs,” he said trying not to smile. ”Tak a deep breath. Second? Go say 'allo. Ask 'im what 'e thinks of la flowair.” He reached for her drink. ” And give me zat. Non maire alcohul tonight until you eat food.” It hit him a little funny; the last time he was this protective of someone was when Michael was still alive. It made him feel funny to equate Alba in the same category as Michael. How had she weaseled her way up there? She was too darn nice, that was how. "Go!" He made a shooing motion with his fingers.

As for him? He’d finish Alba’s drink and then go see if that gentleman (Ronan) was enjoying the night’s highlighted plant.

"I do.." The doctor touched his vest pocket with two finger tips, looking over Sachin's shoulder as Conley began walking back over with their drinks. Nero was tempted to retrieve the magnifying glass, and take a peek at the contents of said drinks. "I do not enjoy mysteries. mister ambassador. I enjoy solving them. Casting off illusions, revealing truth, that is what keeps me going through the years."


Once Conley returned, those old blue eyes looked at the cocktail. "Last time I was here, they did not allow us to have alcohol at ministry functions." Nero gently took the cocktail glass in one gloved hand with a wry smile. "That never stopped us though. I had bottles of wine hidden all over the ministry. Perhaps I can dig one up for the lovely couple." The doctor beamed, raising his glass, while also trying to avoid any questions about what he was trying to do with the corpse flower.

It was sort of surprising to Sachin that the Doctor was not with MLE since he was into what seemed to be detective work. Then again, there were other mysteries that could be solved than just crime. “I think that’s something very interesting. What would you say is the biggest mystery you’ve unraveled?’’ Listen, Sachin genuinely was interested so he was going to all the questions.

“Thanks, Con,’’ Sachin said, happily accepting the ginger ale from Conley. A cookie too. How nice. But wait… did the Doctor just say ‘last time’? The Ambassador eyed Conley with a hint of curiosity. “How long ago was that, if you don’t mind me asking.” He dug into his drink by taking a short drink. “Um, I must decline. I’m not a alcoholic drinker.’’ The offer had been a nice one though.

Conley was only a little disappointed that the doctor had taken the cocktail. While Conley enjoyed the occasional drink, he didn’t imbibe as much as he had before he began dating Sachin. Still hidden bottles of wine around the ministry sounded intriguing. ”Oh, don’t let Monsuier Roux hear that,” he chuckled. ”Our dear French Diplomat is quite the sommelier and Enigmatologist . He might take it as a challenge to find them all.” Still, the idea of popping open a bottle of wine with the good doctor seemed intriguing. ”You’re always welcome to pop into my office for lunch. Sachin usually packs me too much food.” aka, he’d likely have food to share.

The nerves from being in a greenhouse were still bothering Conley and the smell from the flower was not helping. Conley was now grateful for the ginger ale, because his stomach was starting to bother him. ”Sachin,” he said softly, turning just a bit from the Doctor. ”I think we should go soon.”
