Where : Cait Sith Capital City <<Freelia>> Who : @Jasonhero Agni Ormr / All Racial Leaders As it stood Feera had been in the process of busily filling out this and that report as Agni stepped into the room. At first she didn't look up, instead continuing to scrawl away on yet another piece of parchment to yet another guild leader on the topic of yet another problem.
"You can put the reports on that pile over there." With a wave of her arm Feera motioned towards the far edge of her desk, this particular side being occupied by a number of very large paper stacks.
"And could you bring me some water when you come--" When Feera finally looked up and noticed Agni's presence her quill stopped. There was an awkward moment of silence before Feera let out an embarrassed laugh, to consumed in her paperwork to realize who'd come to see her.
"Oh, sorry Agni. I've been pretty busy as of late." Pushing aside whatever parchment she was working on Feera allowed her second in command to give his report, nodding every now and again at the details.
The progress of their military development was moving along at a steady pace. The sooner the militias were armed with something more than just raw steel the better, especially with their precarious political position. While Feera did indeed intend to strike towards the diplomatic route it never hurt to have a little insurance, though she doubted she'd be able to hold out long against any determined military aggression, at least not yet.
"How are you handling things Feera? I want the answer from my friend by the way, not my boss. I know being a leader is probably stressful."With a heavy sigh Feera placed her hands gently on the edge of her massive desk, pushing back her chair so that she could stand fully. Turning away from Agni she stepped over towards the nearby window, one hand pressed against the cool glass as she peered outside.
"I'll be honest, it's tough. Everyone seems to aways be wanting something and I never had enough of anything to give the people what they ask for. I've had to settle for giving them just what they need, at least for now. We're only a week or so old as a government, we don't have a lot of money to spend right now and what we do have is going towards arming our militias. I think that once we give it a little time things should level out." Lowering her hand, Feera turned back to face Agni again as he uttered his second question.
"I was wondering is you wanted to go get a drink or something whenever you're off today?"Feera couldn't help but laugh for a second time, green eyes flashing a mixture of curiosity and excitement.
"So that's the best you could do huh?" Feera needled her friend a little, teasing him in an obviously joking manner.
"I mean, maybe if you were a bit stronger, had more money, were famous. . ." Her voice faded out as if in consideration, though she was sure Agni would realize she was just teasing.
"All joking aside I'd love too, though perhaps it'd be best to set the date for another time. I've got a lot of work to do and I'm sure you're equally pre-occupied." Returning to her desk, Feera took her seat and began settling into her papers once again.
"How about this? If the peace summit goes well I'll give you a shot." The girl concluded this agreement with a wink.
