Clay smiled at Samantha and nodded. She was really nice, and he could see that he'd do well here. At her suggestion of helping him out, his smile grew. "Well, if you're not busy," he began, "I'd certainly love that. There's a lot to take in, and I'm not sure where to start first." He glanced around, wondering what exactly he had to do.

"Is there any..uh, assignments or anything I could do?" He hated to be idle, especially on his first day back.
