WHO: Ivan and Yao
WHEN: Backdated, Thursday the 23rd, Late Evening
WHERE: Ivan's Office
WHAT: Because there is nothing suspicious about two men drinking tea after working hours.
The only thing in the room taller than Ivan Braginsky was the mound of paperwork on the right corner of his desk. He wasn't alone, however, but Yao could barely come up past Ivan's shoulders when he stood. When they sat, they seemed to be almost of equal height, with a desk filled with paperwork and a space cleared just enough to make room for two cups of tea, a pot, a container for sugar and milk, and several trays with biscuits stacked atop two inch-high mounds of papers.
Ivan could barely keep his leg still, and he knew Yao could tell how nervous he was.
"I think she's catching onto me... she keeps giving me these looks- and she's starting to treat me differently, like I'm no longer her her second in command."
