Hector was having a good day so far! The last interview he'd conducted turned out to be more eventful than he was expecting. What seemed like an offhanded comment at the time now clicked in his brain and inspired him to do some further digging. Now deep down the rabbit hole of leads, he was more convinced than ever that his hunch was correct - and if it was, this story would make his career!
He'd just come back from sending an owl to an informant who lived outside the country; he even grabbed himself a hot chocolate while he was out - because let's face it, Hector wasn't much a coffee drinker. Never had been. Fueled by the pursuit of knowledge and the prospect of recognition, Hector was too focused on his story to look where he was going and stopped just short of crashing into Deezy. "Oh, my-! I'm sorry, Deezy!" he exclaimed, taking an automatic step back to give the elf some space, and...
THUMP! He backed into Ellura's desk. "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" he said over and over. Nice going, Hector! he inwardly berated himself. Somehow in his blunder, he'd managed to hold on to his hot chocolate. Thank Merlin! The last thing he needed was a mess to clean up! "Good thing the lid was on this, huh?" he said sheepishly, running his free hand through his hair. Shut up, Hector! You're just making a bigger fool of yourself!
Oh, Reed was here too? Did everybody show up in time to see that? Well, this was embarrassing! "Um.... Hello, everyone," Hector greeted, his eyes darting around the room in search of a distraction from his clumsiness. Then he saw Deezy's box of doughnuts, and he smiled as he overheard her tell Reed she made them herself. "These look great!" he said to the elf. "You wouldn't happen to have a jelly-filled one, would you?"
