Looking up from her thoughts, currently the contemplation of lamps and how to fix them, Syd offered a smile in hello. But she was quick and easy in the movement of scooting over, even if the action of pillow-smothering had her amused. “Rough day at the office, dear?” The projected thought her answer, her smile turned sympathetic. The meeting must have gone awkwardly. “You’d probably be a little suspicious if things were simple for you.” Especially things of this nature. Hell, she would be a little suspicious if things went too swimmingly.
Stretching out, she turned to give David her attention fully, watching him with a tilted head for a minute. “Yelling into it might help?” A suggestion before she saw his pretty face and he went over the basics of the meeting. “Well. Shit.” She paused, pressing her lips together in thought. “Which do you think? Which do you want?” That certainly cleared up a whole lot of nothing, though. And the two schools of thought were so different that any compromising would be difficult too. She definitely understood the pillow.
“I wish I could share the relative goodness of my day.” As in push some of her good day onto his. Fidgeting with the ring sans pop, merely because she liked to do so now, Syd chuckled. “It was good, though. I talked with Cary – he poked me—“ Her facial expression shifted to show how much she didn’t like that. Ugh. “But it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. We were talking about my plan for working on my power, and he also asked if I’d be willing to continue studies with the light saber. I don’t mind being a guinea pig for that.” Obviously. “Then I found Kerry and we did our routine; except she wants to change it up and wants me to try to switch with Rudy. So I can—“ Syd paused there, moving her fingers in air quotes because of course Kerry would want this. “Throw things at her. Which means that I get to go find Rudy and ask him if he’d like to be blonde for a little while.”
“I ran into Ptonomy too.” She grinned then, adding some levity in. “Asked him how yesterday was. He knows something’s up but can’t figure it out, and it’s really funny to watch.”
