"He asked me not to schedule him for any appointments this afternoon, perhaps he's just taking some personal time away from work" Silvanus spoke as neutral as possible, not wanting to exacerbate this situation with the Hydro Archon further. "I would pass on your message to him but I'm afraid I'm taking off early as well, Lady Furina.”
“Since when did either of you willingly take time away from your duties” Furina huffed, clearly not pleased with Silvanus’ explanation. “If i didn’t know any better, it would think you two were hiding something from me.”
Silvanus opened her mouth to respond to said accusation when Furina interrupted her.
“Yes yes, I am still aware of your poor health and need for rest. Run along now along lest we have a repeat of your previous episode” She shooed and with that Silvanus nodded a polite ‘thank you’ before closing her office door.
Silvanus quickly left Palais Mermonia feeling the slightest bit of guilt for lying not once but twice to the archon. She was not returning home to rest and she knew the exact location of the Chief Justice. Feeling a slight rustle from inside her bag, she brought her hand inside to give a reassuring pet to the small, warm bundle currently resting within.
From the Palais, Silvanus made her way towards the Aquabus station elevator intending to take the next boat to Erinnyes. There was a secluded clearing that Neuvillette once brought her to; a quaint spot with a small pound where various woodland creatures would roam about. The Iudex was quite aware that his assistant had a fondness for small animals and flowers, so the two would escape to the woods for a romantic romp as a break from their professional duties.
After the short elevator ride Silvanus decided to make an uncharacteristic detour to Café Lutece. Silvanus was always particular about keeping a strict schedule since she could easily become distressed by the change of plans, but she would not pass up the opportunity for an extra cup of coffee and a dessert since Neuvillette wouldn’t be able to stop her in his otter form.
