The book she had been reading (a King Arthur legend) lay next to the pear bowl on her desk.

"How are you, sir? It's been awhile since you visited me in my office. How can I impress you?" Saying impress instead of help.

The somberness was still there...it would remain until she heard what he had to say. Then it could vanish completely - or crank up a few degrees. Depending on hwhether she was right in assuming this was about the incident that had been on her mind ever since it happened.

....that....was an odd way of putting it. For a moment, the man’s brows furrowed in confusion. He didn’t...she wanted....impress him? While it was always a good idea to be in good standing with your employer, it struck him somewhat odd she’d outright ask how she could impress him—fitting as the question was given the circumstances.

When you’re the only adult present, you’re the one they depend on. The one who has to remain even somewhat calm, take charge and put an end to the disaster wherever and however possible. You understand this, yes?” Before he moved on to anything else.
