*backhands the ball considerably harder this time* Yeah. *looking slightly confused* He shouldn't be. No more than usual, I mean. I mean, the idea was to take some of the load off seeing as I'm there all day and night anyway.
*thinking* I'm worried about Esther, too. I haven't given her too much more but she's been rescheduling a ton of meetings, pushing around the more fluid deadlines, stuff like that. *bounces on the balls of his feet* She convinced Penlodh to move our Friday to four o'clock and I'd swear the man breaks out in hives if he has anything after one. But there's no reason for it, or at least none that I can see.
