"A-Akon-san!" Panting, Shizu skidded to a halt before the third seat outside his office, a bundle wrapped up in her arms. It was only then she realized how unprofessional she might have looked. Straightening up, she coughed once into her hand to hide her embarrassment before finally speaking. "I, ah, have something for you. If you have a second," she said, gesturing to the item in her arms.
It had been a generally uneventful day from start until almost-finish and even his usual tinkering wasn’t holding his attention for long. It was quarter to five when Rin turned up, talking about nothing really important either, just budgets and budget cuts and for that, he was quickly chased. Just as Akon was wandering to the door to pick up an order form that wasn’t urgent just to give Rin something to do to get out his way, a familiar face just about ran into him.
“Himura-san-” His eyes glanced up the corridor behind her, wondering if she had been getting chased off something considering the speed she was going at. Before he could ask if she was alright or if anything was the matter, she motioned to the tightly wrapped package in her arms, and asked for his time. He glanced back to Rin who was peeking with interest into Shizu’s arms before Akon distracted him with a wave of the form and the direction to give it to Torue. Rin left, but not without another glance to the package.
Once Rin was a few paces down the hall, Akon stepped out the way of the door, letting Shizu follow him back towards his desk. “I didn’t think you were still doing deliveries, Himura-san, I hope you’re not getting abused by your former supervisors.” He was well aware of how terrible an attitude the staff in deliveries had, but he didn’t think they would have went as far as to continue to lord over someone not under their power any more.
