Envy's Office, The Hegemony Compound, Brazil, Monday

[whenshewasnice]

It had been an unbelievably good week and a half or so. Envy had barely left Todd's side at all. It'd been almost like when they'd been kids. Except with much more kissing. But it wasn't a reunion that would last, yet. Todd still had a semester left at Vegan Academy (yes, he was a vegan and yes, that was why he could fly to the moon and punch it).

"Oh, good, you're back," Peter said, sticking his head into her office a good half hour after she'd returned.

He'd been waffling for a while about filling her in on the current state of the Virlomi situation, but there'd been enough of that now. Might as well talk it through, while she was still here.

Envy had been... kind of zoned out, actually, but she snapped right back to attention as soon as he came in.

"I am," she said with a tiny nod. "Anything on fire I haven't discovered yet?"

Okay, the snapping out of it was weird.

"That depends," Peter said. "What have you discovered?"

He was genuinely curious if she'd picked out the troop movements, too.

Envy didn't tend to be much for zoning out, no. Not usually. But everything was less than usual right now.

"Not much," she said. "But I've only been back for half an hour."

And she hadn't had time to keep tabs on things from afar this time around.
