Airey did realize that one of the five employees he was now yelling at was him, Adam, right? And who had crushed up the man's dehydrated ice cream? Adam might act like the department head was always angry and disagreeable, but this was highly unlike their boss. Short tempered he might be, the man had never before threatened to have anyone fired. Not even after Adam/Reil had trashed his office and attempted to eat his pet rock. He wondered what Laurel thought of the man's behavior.
Adam wasn't even sure who was all in the room because besides Laurel, the rest seemed to be new hirers. So it was the smallest of reliefs to the German when Laurel paired off with him. If there was anyone in the room who had the patience for his disability it was Laurel. He almost wished he had his support cane with him, but he had been feeling like it was a safety blanket and so he had stopped carrying it. Maybe he needed to rethink that again.
He took a moment to clean his glasses and then shoved the oversized ugly things back onto his face as he followed Laurel off into the stacks. This was her turf after all, and he would let her take the lead. "Anozzer? I'm not sure Airey efery found ze first." Their own attempts at locating had been fruitless after all.
Once they were far enough away from the rest, Adam felt comfortable enough to quietly ask, "Did he seem...wrong to you?"
