Meeting With the Minister [Reynold]

[Deleted]

It wasn't really a meeting, per se - Adia Fawley only rarely made meetings. With the Minister? Hardly at all. Reynold was not exactly the most... discerning of types, and it really was rather easy to worm her way in with him. A compliment here, a lunch together there... a few minor disagreements that were hardly worth of noting, just so that she didn't appear to be a simple Yes-Man, and she was working her way in. Really. To be honest, Adia could hardly believe her luck, that he had gotten here, and she could use him; granted, she had lobbied for him to be the Minister, and had voted.

A Minister that you could use was always helpful, especially if you could make sure that you were one of the few that used him. (And never as blatant as the previous Head of the Malfoy family had been, much to her chagrin; he had the Minister in his pocket, but everyone else also knew that. She was determined to not make the same mistake.) Not that she had used him, yet; for now, it was merely buttering him up, and she'd eventually use him. No need to be hasty and spoil all her plans.

Well-made plans took time.

It helped, when it came to appearances, to seemingly treat him like an equal. He felt that she treated him like an equal, or moreso, as her superior - the notion was absolutely laughable. Why on earth would she ever consider him to be such? No, that wasn't happening, not at all; she just had to make it appear to be that way, and it was rather easy. No one questioned her, naught but the people who knew her well, and those people were few and far between. (She'd say she could count them on one hand, but... her daughters alone consisted of more than that, wonderful as they were.)

"Minister?" Adia inquired as she approached his office door, knocking easily on it and waiting patiently. He'd come when called; he was like a dog, he always did. "Are you busy right now?" Either he wasn't, or he had been working hard enough (for him) that he needed a break; his secretary had sounded pleased that she was coming, when she relayed the message.

While she didn't make meetings or appointments, Adia Fawley also didn't drop in on someone unannounced; it was rude. A trait she very much was not.

As much as Rey loved himself, he loved other people who loved him even more. They were incredibly smart in their knowledge of the wonderful wizard that was Reynold Stewart Cain, the minster of magic, and Rey respected that. People who loved him obviously had a great mind set and therefore could be trusted. This logic was fool-proof. So, when he heard Adia Rae Fawleys voice through his door he was pleased as punch, "Adia, darling!" he jumped up from his desk and approached the door, opening it with a large smile on his face. Normally he would stay seated and tell whoever was meeting with him to come on in, but Adia deserved special attention. He considered her a dear friend, a great asset and a wonderful colleague.

He was told by his secretary that Adia would be making an appearance today. That was one of the many things he loved about the woman-- she always announced herself in advance but not so far in advance that it wasn't a surprise. And boy oh boy, did Rey love surprises! They were probably his second most favorite thing. His first being his new robes that he had purchased yesterday. "Come in, please!" Rey stepped aside so that Adia could enter the office and let the door close on it's own behind her as he walked back to his desk. He did not take a seat yet, however, for Rey was a gentleman and he never stood if a lady was standing. Only when completely necessary.

"I'm delighted that you stopped by, I'm never busy if you are in need," he said, in answer to her question she had asked through the door beforehand.
