harringtongreen.livejournal.comHonor stepped back from the wall, examining her handy work. The small office was fairly comfortable. An initial recon, however, found the walls a bit bare, and she took it upon herself to provide a bit of decoration. Not much -- this assignment was temporary, she kept telling herself -- but enough to make it feel more like her office.
"It looks perfect, My Lady," LaFollet intoned from the doorway.
She glanced back at him. "Thanks, Andrew," she said. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Nimitz nod his approval. But then, the last photo, the one she was hanging, was of him and his mate, Samantha. He was probably a little biased, she thought.
Mostly satisfied, Honor then turned toward the desk itself. Underneath Nimitz was a stack of books and notebooks she intended to use to prepare her lecture for Monday. "Okay, Stinker, time to do some real work. And for that -- " she paused encouraging him to take his place on the portable perch she had installed " -- you need to move."
Nimitz wasn't thrilled about the idea, but moved anyway. Honor could sense his mild discontent even as he climbed up and assumed a similar position. Still, he understood when there was work to be done.
"If that will be all, My Lady," Andrew began, "I'll take my post outside."
"That's fine, Andrew. And thanks."
LaFollet smiled. "Not a problem, My Lady. Just part of the service we offer."
Watching as Andrew disappeared around the edge of the doorframe, no doubt taking his post right outside her door. He was unarmed, as was required by the school, but still offered a layer of protection between her and anyone who tried to attack her; through their training sessions, he had become as adept in coupe de vitesse as he was with the blaster. She could only hope he would let any students in who needed to see her.
Honor shook her head with a sigh, then settled in to read and take notes.
[OOC: Available for office hours if needed, and feel free to handwave getting past LaFollet. He's just there to look official.]
