[color=f26522]“D-doesn’t have to be like right [i]now[/i] but maybe, I dunno, there’s like a waiting list? Some request backlog?”[/color]

The receptionist’s gaze turned steelier, and though the logical part of his brain told him it was [i]very clearly[/i] directed at someone behind him, Aron gulped.

[color=f26522]“...if it’s not too much trouble.”[/color] He took a thick forearm off the reception desk to scratch at his beard sheepishly.

The lady muttered something under her breath (something about collateral reports?) and looked back at her screen. [b]“I’ll put the request for a desk relocation in. For one Aron Carvajal… reason: …’the rats keep breaking in’. Is that correct?”[/b]

[color=f26522]“I… wouldn’t phrase it like that exactly…”[/color]

[b]“And these rats are coming from…?”[/b]

[color=f26522]“The bloke next to me likes to collect - or he has this spell or something - well, he has a bunch of them. And he keeps losin’ them. And I guess there are snacks in my drawers and it’s hard to remember with all the papers in ‘em sooo…”[/color]

[b]“You guess?”[/b]

[color=f26522]“I. Yeah.”[/color]

She continued typing but brought a hand to knead at the bridge of her nose. [b]“And you can’t just… clean your desk to prevent them from smelling whatever’s in there?”[/b]

[color=f26522]“I. It’s.”[/color] He coughed. [color=f26522]“I, uh, don’t come in very often?”[/color]

The ‘yip!’ of a noble saviour shook Aron from the awkwardness of the situation, followed by the pattering of corgi paws making its way through the lobby. At last, an ally in his quest for a rat-free desk. Aron took a moment to search his shorts pockets before surreptitiously shaking a half-crushed sleeve of cookies in Mochi’s direction.

[b]“You know you’d have to clean your desk anyway to actually move, right?”[/b]

[color=f26522]“Solid point. Yeah. …A-are you still going to put the request through?”[/color]
