Why was Arden here today instead of, you know, at home?

Honestly, she couldn't give a good reason. Sheer pig-headed stubbornness, maybe? And there was no guarantee she was staying the entire shift, either. Goddess, considering she'd checked the clock six times in five minutes, it was possible she wasn't staying the entire hour. But nobody could say she hadn't at least made the attempt!

"...We should get hazard pay for days like this," she muttered.

Okay, she's at least getting paid to be here. Why are you here?

Talk to the Aide

No promises that the conversation will remain appropriate!

...No, seriously, about that hazard pay?

My brain is being devoured by Magic.

...So no real change.

"Arden!"

Pretty, pretty Arden who tragically had a pretty boyfriend of her own she probably wouldn't share.

"I'm in need of something to read."

And other things but those were likely not on offer. Alas.

Sure, Cal was going to be seeing Arden soon enough, but he couldn't be blamed for missing her already and wanting to text her.

Should I come by with your usual drink and sweet treat, or do you want me to have it for you when you're done working?

"Belle!" Apparently exclamation points were mandatory this week. All that extra energy. "A dry, boring book to pretend to try to ignore the week? Or a boooooooooook?"

That many o's were also mandatory.

Speaking of o's--WAIT NO WE WEREN'T.

Come?

She hit send, then facepalmed. That wasn't what she'd--well, okay, she hadn't not--well, not here, anyway, Mr. Constantine would murder her, but--

Sorry, hit send by accident. Ignore that there was punctuation there, Cal, please. I meant to say, come here please?

"A boooooook," Belle said with a bit too much force.

"I've nothing but time to read."

Where was an eager young knight when you needed one? Or a grumpy old man who had somehow become a teenager again? Or a boy wizard? Or...anyone, really. It had been a bit of a dry spell.

Had she considered making Caleb's acquaintance? Or Sairis'?

...Well, Sairis wouldn't get her very far, but it wasn't like Arden knew that.

"Have you read the ones about the Greek gods who are kinda like...corporate CEOs? They're very sexy." She lowered her voice and added, "In the third one, the guy has to set an alarm because he was going down on the heroine and they had an appointment in an hour and without the alarm, they would have missed it. Just from that!"
