Work has been going interestingly enough, but some days are far better than others. Grima with his seniority and his friends on the inside is enough to get to anyone of course. Even someone rational.
Grima: *in a tense, just loud enough for Idis to overhear argument with Yaban*
Idis: *rolling her eyes at first, until it seems to get...tenser*
Grima: *little snarl* going to hit me, easterling? Like a savage?
Yaban: *gripping a book until his knuckles are white*
Idis: *okay that's enough, seriously. Walks over there* What's the problem today?
Grima: just a discussion about history *bright smile to Idis*
Yaban: *makes himself put down the book and turns away*
Grima: get that rewrite back to me soon
Yaban: Fine
Idis: *sighs* Is this the sort of re-write that's infinitely biased to the victor again? Surely we're here in this job, and all of us to not be that stupid?
Grima: His reports are incredibly slanted. I'm just doing my job
Idis: And ours don't veer that way either? *sighs* Could we not present both versions this time? At least then everyone is heard.
Grima: I have seniority over you, *miss*, and this is how it's been working. *turns around to going back to his desk, where he's been secretly copying a map of the sewer system to sell to an interested party*
Idis: Yes, yes, your own little kingdom, we wouldn't dispute that. *sighs*
Yaban: mng. Thanks
Idis: He's impossible *shakes head* Honestly.
Yaban: that's a word for it. You're the new girl from what era? *holds out his hand*
Idis: Third age *clasps his hand* and I get the impression you are too?
Yaban: *nod* Right during the war of the ring. I didn't see how it ended
Idis: I'm from before that. Probably twenty or so years before things really heated up
Yaban: anyway. I'm going to go scream into something now.
Idis: that sounds like a lot of...fun... I may very well end up joining you.
Yaban: it's in the basement. Come on, if you want
Idis: that sounds like a good idea. He's so...pompous.
Yaban: He's so... and the head scribes like him. *glowers and leads her down the stairs*
Grima: *calls out* Careful, girl!
Idis: I'll take my chances! *over her shoulder*
Grima: *opens his mouth to say something about what easterlings do to women, then realizes that being overheard would put him over the line and shuts his mouth*
Yaban: *heads down and rests his head against some old books* auuugh
Idis: Seriously *lets out a shriek into another stack*
Yaban: I'm not allowed to fake my own death anymore, so this is the next step in things Yaban will soon no longer be allowed to do
Idis: No faking your own death? Aww that's too bad.
Yaban: I hit the hard limit with the pyre incident
Idis: Pyre incident?
Yaban: actually, let's not speak of it.
Idis: This sounds bad. I can forgoe askiing then.
Yaban: I should work on those rewrites. *tiny scream into a book*
Idis: I supose. *sighs* It's ridiculous though. If you're here and we're here...isn't that for some greater purpose to get others to learn from? Not the animosity that keeps on coming up.
Yaban: that's what I thought I was going to be doing. For some reason he thinks the whole centuries of animosity is a reason to make MY life hell.
Idis: That's completely stupid It's as bad as back at home where not everyone approves of the king because he's not entirely rohirric.
Yaban: well, I mean, that doesn't involve my personal frustration.
Idis: Well that too. But in general it's a stupid ignorant idea too
Yaban: Well, yes. I'm not sure how well he'd be treated if it was one of my superiors he had to deal with. I keep that in mind. Of course, then I go back to hoping an eagle mistakes him for an albino mouse
Idis: *snickers*
Yaban: he does move a bit like one, doesn't he? Like he's stealing something and hoping no one notices
Yaban: and I bet he chews his desk or something I'm losing track of this metaphor
Idis: *snorts* That's a mental image that'll get me through the long hard days ahead
Yaban: and I bet he chews his desk or something I'm losing track of this metaphor
Idis: *snorts* That's a mental image that'll get me through the long hard days ahead
Yaban: what've you been focusing on?
Idis: Filling in the bits I know from the history of my people for now. I know them best
Yaban: sounds about right. Okay, I can face upstairs again
Idis: Good luck!
If nothing else, at least my co-worker is not alone and knows that now. Everything else...I've no idea what else is coming.
