"Getting frustrated so early isn't the best way to start a morning, you know?"
And what was up with the ink bottle? Hers seemed to be working fine. "Here.. take mine.." Yeah, she just had to read and browse files, so not required for now. Natasha took a deep breath and another one. There. Turning her gaze towards Angela she smiled "I’m glad one us has got an easy day ahead of them." She would be spending more time running around the levels then actually sitting at her desk which was never a good thing. Tasha envisioned the pile of memos and couldn’t help but pout slightly under her breath. Want any help? Did Angela just say the three magical words which Tasha never ever thought someone would utter in this building. Trying to not sound too excited she chirped. "Yes, please. If you could be star and create some order in the chaos that is my desk then I’d be most grateful." Tasha’s desk was usually neat and tidy but today it just looked like a mess.
Accepting the ink bottle from Angela she murmured. "Thank you. Let me know when you need it back, okay?" Tasha didn’t want to enable her colleague to do her work only because she had an ink bottle who had seen its best days. Quote:

There was not much assigned, so Imogine got to work re-arranging her binders and pappers at her desk, making it look nice and neat. "How are you guys today?" she asked, setting a stack of parchement down and heading over to the group. "So, what are you working on?" she motioned to the two vials of liquid. "Good morning Imogine." Tasha chimed as yet another A & C employee made her way into the work areas. This day it seemed like many of her colleagues had risen with the birds to get ahead in their work. If only Althea was there to see it for her own eyes. "I’m slightly frustrated, but good." Tasha stated with a gesture towards her ink bottle. Quote:

Derek didn't think they would.
Plus, he was curious.
In fact... "Have any of you felt weird lately? Threw up? Drooled? Froze?" He inquired, finally looking at each of them. He hadn't heard of anyone from their department with those symptoms, but it didn't hurt to ask. Turning her attention to Mr ‘talk less, work more’ Tasha wanted to roll her eyes at him. What was wrong with a polite morning greeting back? Derek was odd. She shrugged it off as he explained what he was working on. Those vials couldn’t be containing vomit could they? Shuddering at the thought she shook her head in response to his question. "I haven’t had any symptoms either but a woman I met in the food court yesterday she froze, drooled and vomited right there next to the buffet table." Poor Kensi, Tasha hoped the woman had recovered now. Quote:

He said turning to head to the machine to make another batch of tea. Yeah I know muggle way. As he turned on the machine and set about putting a tea bag into the mug in front of him when the office door opened up behind him and in spilled other workers, some of which he knew by face and some by name. One however called over a hello at him.
Smiling he waved his hand in the air and said loudly, "Morning! I'm alright, yourself?" before going back to his task. Once the tea was made, the mug steaming above, he slowly picked it up and brought it back to Natasha. "There you are" He said with a smile placing it beside her.
Looking down at her ruined piece of parchment he bit his bottom lip in thought, "I think you'll have to start anew, there's not chance getting that off," He told her, "Just be more careful" He added with a wink and turned to go to his desk. When Brad arrived back at her desk with a fresh cup of tea she sniffed it delightfully. Drinking a few mouthfuls of it she looked up at him with a beam. "Thank you, chamomile is my favourite. Tea is calming." She mumbled as an afterthought. Looking down at her disastrous looking report Tasha heaved a small sigh. Crumbling the parchment together into a ball she threw it in the trash can. "That report was rubbish anyway." She admitted with a small laugh before picking up a new parchment.
Dipping her quill into the borrowed ink bottle Tasha eyed the parchment with determination and started to work on it for the second time that morning. Please no more ink stains, now?
