They were probably busy on their end too.” He set his coffee down then leaned against Soph’s desk with a chuckle. “This is only about half of it, Soph. There’s another binder on my desk. Then there’s the visa applications that I have to deal with…” But why did the thought of being so busy make him happy? It seemed he was developing into a workaholic like his Uncle Lucas. There was more to say to the Ambassador - after he greeted his boss, of course.

“Good morning, Conley.” Brody offered the man a smile, noting the change in this morning's behaviour. Having worked with the man closely for quite a bit, he knew his boss’s mood - not as good as Sachin but well enough. “Would you be okay with with approving some overtime for me? I can help Sophie catch up.” The Consulate didn’t fancy working too late but when there was work to be done… well, it had to be done and he wanted to help Sophie anyway. It turned out Conley had noticed Brody’s mood, and he couldn't stop his smile from getting a little wider. “Just… things are going really well in my life.” A hand was stretched towards Sophie, not wanting the topic to become centered on him. “Let me start with the memos, Soph.”

Surveying everything on her desk was overwhelming to say the least. Sophie felt like crying, but pushed the feeling away. No, she could and would manage this. She would prevail. In a few days her desk would be back to how it was supposed to be. Glancing sideways at Brody she nodded "I understand. Things have been extra busy around here when people were mernapped...." And sick, but Sophie didn't say that out loud.

Looking over at Conley she wondered if he was going to grant Brody overtime to help her ease back into work mode. Lifting up a letter from her desk that was addressed to her in big red letters she furrowed her brows. "Is something going on in the scandinavian countries that I've missed to take care of?" Sophie asked out loud eyes looking from her boss to Brody as she gestured to the letter. "This letter looks urgent." Thankfully it wasn't a howler.

Attention going back her desk Sophie blushed embarrassed at Brody "Sure, if you can find the memos amongst everything else. I haven't sorted anything in piles yet."
