Mr. Truebridge was here as well. How charming.

"Now, if you please," he continued, clearing his throat as though he were coughing up sand and loosened his tie entirely while also unbuttoning his shirt just a bit. He was feeling terribly dry and parched, you see. "I will be back in a little. Please carry on with your efforts here and I expect to return to see a substantial amount of progress accomplished."

Jane did not miss Airey's subtle-notsosubtle comment to Damien and she gave her colleague a warning look behind their boss's back. It would not do if Damien got himself fired--Jane did not particularly want to have to break in yet another new co-worker. And then Jane stifled a smile at Airey's attitude to seeing David. Airey almost seemed annoyed that so many people were here, when it was he himself who issued the memo for them all to come. In fact, her superior seemed to be acting a bit...strangely...today. Not that it was easy to tell new strangeness from Airey's everyday strangeness.

But anyway, back to work. Jane tried to repress her strange and illogical desire to keep the trident for herself, and no one else, to examine and reluctantly held it out (very slightly) toward Dottie. "It seems to have some sort of symbols or inscription on it," Jane commented, clearing her throat, which seemed suddenly rather dry. Jane loosened the collar of her robes with her other hand; they suddenly seemed very restrictive and tight. She regretted now drying off all that lovely water that had gotten all over her up by the fountain.
