Some had spoke with her before, and she liked to make sure she was considered a friend and ally and not a spook. Unlike almost all other Government officials she was entirely relaxed while walking through the school. She'd learnt to feel safe and secure around the mutants, and trusted them all to remain kind and peaceful to her. At least the majority understood who's side she was on. If anything she'd prefer permanent residence at the school to time in the Government buildings, but her voice of reason was needed there to argue against bigotry and hatred. It pained her to bring to the table some of the more hateful voices in the Government, but she had to communicate everything to Xavier's school.<br/><br/>When she entered the room she recognised Salem quickly, having met her before and made a note of her diligence and drive. She was impressive, and would be important to making headway with the Government. David she couldn't seem to place, perhaps he didn't ordinarily work in the eye of the public. She knew of a few mansion residents that preferred to keep to themselves.<br/><br/><strong>"It's lovely to see you, Salem. And yes, I did enjoy the drive. It's always a pleasure to drive out to the school, Professor Alleyne. I look forward to visiting and doing my bit to try and help find the right road to peace and equality."</strong><br/><br/>Given the words of certain other members of the Government she hoped this wouldn't be taken as callous or thoughtless speech. She meant every word, her views were simply unfortunately not shared by some co-workers of hers. She followed Jean to sit opposite her on a chair, placing her briefcase on the seat beside her and pulling out a notebook. Writing everything down was of vital importance, and she had always preferred a simple pen and paper to a tablet or small laptop.<br/><br/><strong>"Of course, Jean. The three of you are welcome to make your proposal, and I will do my best to make sure we come to the best terms I can offer. Of course, I am not the person in charge. There may be certain things I cannot agree to, or counter-offers to be made."</strong><br/><br/>While the Ambassador certainly wasn't a mutant, she was a gifted negotiator. She persuaded Government officials to let her get a great deal more freedoms for the X-Men than they had ever intended to grant. And she had managed to convince even the more hot headed mutants that compromise was necessary to make any headway with the steadfast Government officials.
