An Olive Branch

  It's been a very long day... the kind that simply begs to be remedied by a little treat. Rooting around in her cupboards, she calls out to anyone in the safehouse that could hear her.

▸▹ 「 @iruludavare 」 ◃◂ asks: "Yes, you'll get this done, but at what cost?"

  The woman sways slightly on her feet, still attempting to thumb through pages and pages of notes that are taking her longer and longer to read. She does not look up at the trainer as she shakes her head, weary.

  Concordia isn't certain how long she's been at it; a sentiment that seems especially prevalent whenever she was working so far away from home. The papers she pours over seem ( to her ) never-ending, and it isn't until the flash of a plate distracts her from her task that she realizes just how long it's been.

▸▹ 「 @weisskunig 」 ◃◂ speaks up: "Hey... hey! You're dozing off, again."

  There is a sharp inhale as Concordia wrests herself back to consciousness, just a moment or two shy of slumping over entirely. She takes a moment to right herself in her seat, running her hands up over her face for a moment before offering N an apologetic sort of smile.

  Perhaps the greatest tell to her exhaustion is the fact that the woman doesn't recognize the voice that speaks to her at first... nor does she seem to realize that he was even there until he does. Concordia jolts in her seat, blinking up at the man for a moment too long before surprise makes way for embarrassment; an expression glimpsed for only a moment before she lifts the book she'd been writing in to cover her face.

  At least she had the reaction time for that much. Voice wavering, she speaks from behind the pages.
