It was rare that someone decided that Lucille had an opinion to anything. She had always been taught to defer opinions to others, to quietly voice her’s but only in the right circumstances. Those circumstances did not include an elderly gentleman who was kind enough to escort her through the maze that the Ministry was. She gave a small smile to the man, but left the matter well enough alone.

Experimental charms. That seemed quite fitting, Lucille thought as the lift doors opened. The gentleman seemed someone who if he did indeed work at the ministry would be in something that had the name of esperimental in it.

Lucille smiled at him as she stepped through the lift doors finally in the right place. “Thank you again, I appreciate it. Both of you.” She nodded at the monkey before giving the gentleman a small curtsey. “It was a pleasure to meet you.” She added, realizing that for all her doubts this did seem to be the truth of the matter. The man might have been eccentric, but he had quelled her nerves and helped her at the same time, something she could truly be grateful for.

Then when the niceties had been said she made her way down the hall, hoping to see Ace’s red head before he spotted her. Perhaps this had not been so bad an idea after all.
