❛ come in. ❜ you guide her inside the threshold of the embassy with an easy smile and a hand on her forearm. had been hit with a tone of melancholy lately / reaching out for the small few you could call friends. grateful for the company. finding your workload quite diminished , it leaves you with far too much free time / with an embassy that is far too empty for your tastes. full of statues and mourning. it leaves a sour taste in your mouth whenever you find yourself unoccupied. but there shall always be crime to stop , and helping lillian with her own endeavors.
your world may now be one of darkness but you can still navigate around the embassy with precision. you are not one to blush or look flustered , though , you do manage to pull of something quite close to apologetic. ❛ it is just us today , i hope that is alright ? i realised we were always so focused on work that we could both use a break. ❜ and while you do not mention it , perhaps it is obvious that the weight on your shoulders is heavier than before. that your one wish remains just that - a hopeful dream that athena refuses to grant. can feel the hopelessness filling the house / your own and others.
