Verse yawned, stretching in his chair. He had been working for hours, reading spy's reports and summing them up for the king. He scratched his bare shoulder; his room had gotten very warm that afternoon and he took his shirt off, reveling the burns that coursed over his skin, tracing the organs into his flesh. Silhouettes of his lungs and heart showed. He leaned back in his chair and read though another, his mind wandering, as often as it did, to what Lilis was doing.

Lilis, on the other hand, had given up on her reports and was out on a court with trainees. She was mercilessly thrashing one of the best trainees on the court. After giving him a particularly hard blow, that broke his sword, she stopped fighting. The trainee collapsed to his knees and stared at the sword shards.
“I’ll get a friend of mine to fix it and give you a bonus with it.” She told him, collecting his sword and sending it to Dev.
The trainee nodded mutely and trudged off the court. Lilis turned and began to walk off, but the snide voice of one of the senior trainee stopped her. Her back was to him as he made rude and insubordinate remarks about her. Gritting her teeth, Lilis snatched up a dull practice sword, phased across the court and plunged the sword up to its hilt in the trainee’s chest. He stared at it and then at her.
“You might want to see a healer about that.” She hissed and stalked back to her office, slamming the door behind her.
She stood with her back to the door, leaning over her desk and analyzing her grave error. She shouldn’t have lost control like that, but she felt like she couldn’t help it. After a few minutes she sighed and sat at her desk, beginning on a letter.

Verse jumped at her slam and looked to the wall. Like she said, his office was next to her's, no avoiding that. He did make a good job missing her, since their spat, he didn't want to talk to her until she cooled.
Figuring that wasn't soon, he stood and walked out his door and to her's, still half naked. As he was about to knock, he though, then ran back into his room. He picked up the summary he was writing, then went back to her door, knocking.

“Enter!” She snapped, but stayed bent over her letter, plus two others. One was discharge orders and the other was for leave. She was discharging the senior trainee and allowing the one, Tohiro, to go on leave. The last… well, she didn’t want to dwell on what she was doing.

"Ma''am... can you look this over?" Verse poked his head in.

“I’m not ma’am!” Lilis said shortly, hiding one of the letters and looked up at Verse. “Bring it here. What’s the trauma? You just want me to proof it for you?”

He nodded casually and walked over, offering it ot her, "You seem tense, wanna talk about it?"

“No.” She growled, taking the report from him. “So how are you settling in?” She asked as she scanned the first few pages.

Verse leaned over, the sweat that stuck to his skin made him sweat a little, "Fine, it's hot over there."

“Hm, go outside. It’s nice… or I thought so.” For a minute she just stared at his report, not really reading it and then she glanced at him. “I… I may be in trouble later. I did something irrational on the court.”

“I lost my temper with a senior trainee. He was being insubordinate and disrespectful to me.” She paused and sighed. “I ran a training sword through him.”

Verse's eyes widened, "Oh, my... well... I... I suggest that break I talked about earlier. You need it." He reached out, putting a hand on her's.

“I’m fine.” She lied and focused on his report again. “I’ll take a break later.”
If you find Constantine or Ambrose, it will be easier for you to get her to take a break. Kaie suggested to Verse, even though she wasn’t in the room just in Lilis.

He smirked and nodded, "Fine, fine. Be that way." He leaned back and waitied till she was done to go bother her sons.

"It looks fine to me." She said and held it out to him before grumbling. "Better than I get from some of my people. Speaking of which, I need to write a proposal to King Zuki. Many of the guard and the army don't know how to read, write, or do sums, which is all very cruical to their job." She paused, thinking. "That means I need to look at the money left in the treasury... figure in the costs of a school program along with everything else we need. Is there anything your people need, Verse?"

He scoffed, "Brains. Twelve of the bastards I sent to the Forgotten coast were captured." He took it back and placed his hands on his hips.

Lilis linked her hands together and snorted. “I can’t help you there. But it seems like you’ll be looking for recruits then.” She looked up at him. “You wouldn’t happen to have a mission open, would you?” She asked him hopefully.

“Oh, I’d like to go on one. Between Constantine and Ambrose, they can handle my position pretty well and they’d probably come to you if they had any problems. I’d kind of just like to get out of the country for a bit.” She said and then continued in a lower voice. “Make sure my old skills aren’t getting rusty.”

He stared, thinking as he watched her eyes. He took a deep breath as he turned, "I'll see what I have..." He said as quietly, then headed into his own office.
He sighed, irritated. His open windows had blown some off some papers. He walked over and bent to them...
there was a sudden tear as his pants split down a leg and over his taut butt, the humidity coming off his skin weakening it. He blushed deeply and stood, covering his bare bum.

Lilis followed after him when some time had passed. She took one look at him and raised her brows. “Trying out a new fashion Verse?” She asked teasingly with an equally teasing smile. “Have some spares in my office if you want a pair?”

Verse spun around, blushing more as he walked back be hind his desk, "I-I'm fine... H-here..." He offered her a paper wtih a mission on it.

“Aw, don’t worry Verse. I’ve seen plenty of nude men before, though for various reasons.” She purred to him as she crossed the room to take the paper from him. She smiled at him and then picked up the papers on the floor for him. “Here love, you may want to save the rest of your pride for something else.” She offered him the other papers from the floor.

He smirked lightly, "Oh, what would you be speaking of?" Verse took the papers lightly, his fingers gently brushing her's.
